[@NickyDunn]

Oh Yes

[@dongshengdi773]

It looks like North Korea

[@nalynegunggavakin9682]

Laos is rough but beautiful. Where can i find links to your recommendations.

[@บ๊อปคนเหนือ]

Very good 👍ສຸດຍອດຫລາຍ

[@moonskysolo76]

Welcome​ to Laos paddy, I'm Lao so happy to see you enjoy my country🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦

[@amyfarebrother2681]

Vang Vieng is one of my absolute favourite places in the world. Have such amazing memories there and it was the first time I just felt complete and utter gratitude at how lucky I am that I get to travel the world. Great video Paddy, absolutely loving this new series 💜

[@cryptotrader2779]

Holy Moses, that bridge and waterfall at the end closing scene, was one of the most stunning sights I have ever seen in my life. Absolutely breathtaking.

[@N18DTK]

My hairs on my arms literally stood up at this! Breathtaking is an understatement

[@cryptotrader2779]

@@N18DTK Paradise. No words can describe it. A true heaven on earth.

[@bobspilnt5945]

Absolutely that patt was out of this world

[@patrickbouquet3719]

I have seen all your videos and i must say, this one is surely in the top 5. Positive vibes, beautiful drone shots and landscapes to dream of. We Swiss people hope you never stop!!!

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Thank you so much 😃

[@Sibbsy]

Vang vieng has to be one of the greatest places on planet earth. Visited twice when the river parties were still in operation and 3 times when the river parties stopped and you could focus more on the beauty and seclusion of the city. Absolutely wonderful place !

[@dominicswift1916]

After spending the year travelling around Asia, Laos was my favourite by a mile. Amazing country.

[@jomartian]

You seemed more stressed about the cable car in Sapa than the paragliding, which would terrify me, how funny!

[@teresaheckendorn3871]

Beautiful Country and somewhat untouched. thank You paddy..xo

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@adispoon]

Paddy I had respect for you already and loved your videos but having just started my first road trip my respect for you has gone up 1000%. I am sure most subscribers do not realise the effort in riding long distances but today I rode from Phuket to Hua Hin on my scooter taking just over 10 hours and I discovered the heat in protective gear is unexplainable, your back gets destroyed, your bum feels like you sat on a firework and Thais have extraordinary road rules. On top of that you stop and film stuff as well so the amount of work you put into each KZbin video is amazing. I am going Krabi in few days then an island then back to Phuket (yes poor route planning as I am like a yo-yo going back and forth) and will only suffer a tiny amount of fatigue and soreness to the amount you must have suffered to do all your videos RESPECT

[@newgabe09]

Yep, the man is a beast!

[@RobotsWithKnivesCartoons]

Meeting those kids on the river reminds me of one of my fav memories in Thailand, where I was waiting for a boat transfer on Phi Phi Island and I was just standing in a lagoon about ankle deep and I felt something grab my leg and I looked down and it was a smiling toddler, and I remembered feeling worried what people would think seeing some bearded adult dude with a young child and then I looked up and saw his mother smiling and just wave to me and my fears subsided and I just played with the kid in the water for a little while and it was wonderful, kids really have a way of brightening your day.

[@davidcolinburt]

Pretty daring stuff. Glad you're still here to make the next episode! Wonderful vistas with a balance of dreamy music! Cheers, dcb

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@travelertrome8449]

That cave looked super sketchy! No guide? But the views from the paraglide looked absolutely stunning. Both activities take people out of their comfort zone. You have shown lots of bravery, Paddy.

[@michellechapman3951]

Laos is truly stunning. This video was INSANE and super fun! Thanks Paddy.👍🙏😎

[@AuntyJack123]

Simply beautiful and thanks for taking us 🙏

[@sjmoss1978]

Incredible scenery from the paraglider..... looks like a total thrill! One big adrenalin rush. Shame about tthe 45 minute delay to be picked up..... even worse, no 7-11 around to pick up a trusty toastie while you wait :)

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Yes it was!

[@fluffyclouds2729]

Laos is insane, Vang Vieng has one of most beautiful scenic views, it is a wonderful country ! love Laos 💕Your vid. is great with some crazy adventures, a flight and a cave challenge, hahaha ! Paddy, you are amazing! Thank you for taking us along with you, i could feel the hight and the scarry dark in the cave . Stay safe, happy travel with Zelda to LP👍🤗

[@andoholloway5343]

Great video as always, Paddy! My favourite part was the guy on the table with the cigarette with a face of "Who's this prick with a camera?" Lol

[@Mod-man]

Brilliant footage paragliding around Vang Vieng Paddy! You are more courageous than me. Thanks for showing us the best of Vang Vieng.

[@TravelsonToast]

Paragliding looks epic! Blue lagoon 2 & 4 are our favourites 🙏

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Ah good to know for next time ☺️

[@cinderella1295]

That was a funny start, - Paddy D. starting his Countertenor Career in a remote cave in Laos, his audience have been beetle, mosquitoes and spiders Lol!.... i am just kidding, in fact that was a dangerous experience without a guide ! Brave Paddy✌! Ty Paddy, very nice video great landscape flights ❣👍

[@ninettemurk7492]

Those scenes in the cave were hilarious- "I'm doing it because I saw some people on Instagram doing this having fun! I'm claustrophobic!" Aaah, legend.

[@connielinz879]

What spectacular scenery. I think I would do the paragliding over the hot air ballooning too. I would definitely be giving the cave tubing a miss, as I'm terrified of dark confined spaces. The children were so cute 😍

[@PaddyDoyle.]

You and me both!

[@jamesgjurovich7893]

you need to turn the ring on the light to make the beam wider.

[@ThailandThomas]

Just epic the views, music and narration, a perfect video! I am in love with Vang Vieng. Being adventuresome that cave is right up my alley. That aqua blue lagoon was just stunning. Glad you are being a good boy staying off the beer. Hahahaha

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Glad you enjoyed it mate ❤️

[@Ebbandjayflo]

Patty Doyle...Our dude. Just para gliding over Laos. Wow...wow wow wow. The jagged lime stone cliffs....Ridiculous. Killing the game my friend 🎮

[@Jaymage]

Brilliant video. 🇱🇦 Definitely on my to do list. Thanks 🙏🏼

[@atiqah9189]

I suddenly remembered those Vietnam kids playing in the mud on a hot day and having fun jumping into the water. You were dancing & laughing with them. Laos & Vietnam are equally beautiful. Glad to discover these 2 countries through your lens.

[@darm1735]

Another wonderful video Paddy, full of adventure and bravery, stunning drone scenery, with a relaxing background music, your talents just put me into a trance every time, with you all the way mate, take care 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@tenbeforeavant]

What a gloriously beautiful place!! Another excellent vlog Mr Doyle 😊

[@hartleyhare6266]

Thanks for sharing Paddy, we were in Vang Vieng a few days ago and went to Blue Lagoon 3 on rented motorbikes. Felt the same as you about the lagoon, the journey there was the best bit, amazing! Glad we didn't bother with the cave you went to, not sure I could have handled that 😯

[@hfc6535]

What a fabulous place . Absolutely stunning.

[@marketsqueezer]

Best travel videos on KZbin❤, thank you so much for sharing 😊

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@robertcoulter7592]

I swear this whole Laos series is your best yet mate. What a vibe.

[@PVillapah]

My 2nd sunday starting the day with breakfast and Paddy's vlogs

[@DanishBacon555]

Was lucky to have been here when tubing was in full swing back in 2010

[@annamcarthur3409]

You always pick the right beautiful music to match your videos Paddy. Fantastic!

[@janetturner9607]

Always love and look forward to your vids! Thank you!

[@roni2715]

Excellent series on Laos, looking fwd to what you think of Luang Prabang, the temples and having a coffee overlooking the mighty Mekong. Great work thank you.

[@antoninocafarella686]

Beautiful video mate. Look forward to seeing you at the beautiful falls in LP

[@tasdare6377]

I recently went scouting around SE Asia for a month. Vang Vieng is easily my no.1 go back to, for an actual holiday. LOVED it!

[@davidkelly-cl4mj]

Another epic Vlog of lost in Laos. What a beautiful part of the world and definitely a must add to the bucket list

[@ashishgusani]

Gorgeous scenes mate.. glorious weather, lovely scenery.. what's not to like!!

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Couldn't agree more!

[@mrg8537]

Laos is such a beautiful country, not spoilt by overdevelopment. When I went 6 years ago a lot of the back packers skipped Laos and just did Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia

[@poxxmega2857]

In 1997 there were 2 accoms in town,then fffn KABOOM!It grew faster than any place Iv seen or been in SeAsia.03,04? the dirt street was paved n she was booming.Then the tubing wasted@drowning era arrived

[@audreytan7566]

Paddy, go to Kasi and Meet Up with Uncle Tom, He’s a jolly chap, a Welshman… He runs a Motorcycle School, and brings His Students on trips on a MotorBike!!! You’ll love him!

[@denisewilson8465]

No to the water cave and yes to good views! Thank you!

[@MrVinceI.0081]

It’s not that bad if you go in with a group.

[@sgraham005]

Thanks for the tour of Vang Vieng. Good work Paddy. You are getting better and better at it.

[@santoshsco]

stunning place paddy ,great drone shots as usual.loving this series more than thailand one .

[@robertleraye9299]

im loving your videos mate, im heading to cambodia and thailand next year and after watching your vids im going to reduce my time in thailand to spend a couple of weeks in laos tyvm

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Sounds great!

[@shocks123]

Wow great video, if I ever had and itch to do the cave experience, you have well and truly scratched that itch. Looking trim by the way, well done

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Thanks 👍

[@audreysenior7228]

The tubing in the cave had us crying with laughter, your commentary was so funny 🤣 I felt claustrophobic just watching it, imagine if your torch had gone out or you lost the rope! I love that you tried it 👊🏼

[@Twittp]

I’ve been in Laos many times but never have experiences natural Beautiful landscape and places like this,I like that sunset point a lot too,thanks again for sharing your amazing experiences Paddy😊

[@adamdhobson]

Love these videos!!!

[@niwata6908]

Whoa,what a scenic views good job paddy

[@thebrokearchitect]

The best!!!! Next level!!!

[@georgenewmaninthailand2495]

Great video Paddy 😀

[@marksoler7338]

Lovely video! I think 30 min for a weekly show is great!

[@travelswithLiz.8817]

Loving this new series Paddy! So good and uplifting! Laos looks magical! Just noticed you have 120K subscribers! Well done! When i started watching your channel, you had less than 20k! Brava! (-:

[@xcvb3]

Finally watching one of your videos while in Thailand and is about Laos. Now I have another country to explore.

[@Mahoaga73]

Man you did it again. I am overwhelmed, speachles and hypnotized from that beauty, i thank you again and again, you are such an amazing guy, thanks for extending my Horizont. Keep punching and stay safe.

[@somchaypsp]

Beautiful video clips!Thank you!

[@wiccanmoon63]

Brilliant episode. Loving this new adventure ❤ 25:39

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Thanks Dee ❤️❤️❤️

[@robertlaird1281]

that was a superbly crafted piece of work Paddy

[@globaltravelmate]

Nice one Paddy. Wish i would have had time to do the glider, that looked awesome. Enjoy the rest of Laos!!

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Next time!

[@SinikanIsThai]

This kind of thing when you go to see places and local just hit different

[@RichHarmer]

Totally Enjoyed your episode. Thanks for taking us with you.

[@bettyjane93]

I'm not sure how I ended up here, but thanks for the memories of Vang Vieng! I actually went tubing there in 2004 so now feel very old! Back then there was nothing along the river, no bars or rope swings, just an occasional guy with a crate of beer Lao to sell you. Very tranquil. I returned in 2007 and it had already changed a lot. Still a wonderful place though, so beautiful!

[@carolrampling862]

Wow great footage Paddy stunning. You really captured the essence of Vang Vieng. Imagine losing your grip on the rope in that cave (l did 😳) luckily there were a lot more people in there when we did it and my son hauled me back before l floated away 😂

[@patrycjagajowiak3563]

Thank you Paddy!! We absolutely love watching your videos!!! You are so genuine and lovely!!! Got us hooked from the minute we " found" you!! Keep doing what you're doing- it's very inspiring!!

[@__BlacklotuS__]

It's so cool watching how much you've progressed and evolved from your first videos and budgeteers... You're cool AF paddy I always have loads of fun watching your videos..I can't travel because I'm poor stuck in America.. But your videos help me out, Thanx

[@wendy-0101]

Hi Paddy! Once again fantastic footage & so beautiful! Must try Power Gliding? Have a great weekend. ❤💕xxx

[@adriennethenomad]

Saving all your Laos video for when we get there in a few years!

[@Lordstephen7813]

Ye ! That waterfall at the end WoW ! Love to do the Paragliding too.

[@maxbyrne851]

Great series so far. Hope you get off the beaten track too

[@noreenneu837]

Wowza! Lots of adventures today! I am claustrophobic too so would not be doing the cave thing. Lol!

[@vadsana8592]

I am happy to receive Lao teachers. I am a laos person. I am very happy to see you there

[@newgabe09]

WTF that paragliding! Gotta love you turned yourself into a drone :) I'll be there in 10 days or so, and though I don't have a good enough bike/skills to tackle tough roads as you do I think I can get myself to sit there and be adventured like that!

[@djscotty53]

Stunning views! Great camerawork too!!!

[@Mayaman67]

Incredible footage mate.

[@sarahwills1676]

Hi Paddy, I've just been introduced to your channel a few days ago as ve been watching vlogs about Vietnam and considering visiting. I watched a vlog where you were riding the cable car up to Sapa Mount and you mentioned that it was scary because of the heights. How would you compare your paragliding over the Loas town to the Cable Car ride in Sapa? Just because I'm a bit chicken too for major heights. Cheers Paddy

[@davidthomson692]

Paddy, u have an incredible nak of pairing music that is in such harmony with the scenery that I almost feel I was there with u. Almost. Which is perfect, to make my wife and I pine for when it is our turn to follow in your footsteps. Great work fabulously inspiring. Full of envoy for what a truely amazing life you make for yourself. Great stuff.

[@melissafrye76]

"This isn't fun!" 🤣🤣 Dark. Small. Dark. Alone. What were you thinking, Paddy? 🤣🤣 At least you tried it. 😆

[@PaddyDoyle.]

seemed like a good idea at the time haha!

[@kasiainwonderland]

Loved the funny kid at 15:43 :P needed a laugh to start to the day! Nice video!

[@EriclovesthePhilippines]

Your videos are so epic I hate to watch them on my phone I try to wait until I am at home and watch them on the TV

[@khenthavong]

I'm also a solo traveler, sometimes the adventure is getting lost and finding yourself rather than finding the destination : )

[@damonmorris5874]

Wow!!! Vang Vieng looks amazing. We will have to add this to our bucket list Paddy! Thanks for the adventure.

[@redspeedotraveller]

Great work Paddy! Looks fun.. but likely i wont be up in that machine! Dave

[@mjcodes2066]

Quick tip regarding Blue Lagoon 3 -- the best thing about it isn't the lagoon but the cave you can explore there. Tight squeeze to get in but well worth exploring the awesome caverns! Bring your phone flash light 🔦

[@bengoschnick9640]

So good! But no tubing? Surely you could’ve had a cheat day Paddy? 😂 ahh well, looks like we’ll have to go check it out for ourselves 👍🏼

[@PaddyDoyle.]

just didn't fancy it

[@Pppppppxx]

When you come to Laos, you would see how simply beautiful this country is. Just simply beautiful.

[@PhoHmooAmerica]

I missed going to Laos. One day I will return to Laos.

[@theaveragejoe5781]

Love the aireal shots and the colored roofing of the houses 🏘

[@moseskravitz]

I’m fully enjoying your journey and have come to anticipate each new installment. I have learned a lot from you- both in how you travel and your attitude about the things you encounter. You will always be young at heart but I love that you can differentiate what makes sense for you as you move along in years. Keep it up!

[@lisavanos1]

I' m belly shaking with laughter with the whole 'tubing through darkness' bit

[@olumideolowe8271]

Great video man!! Your energy is positive here and the view is super amazing

[@sythonpdh9800]

Love it. Thanks for sharing Paddy.

[@Dommypee]

That cave looks absolutely terrifying 😂😂😂 you did well to get to 15 mins!

[@markclayton626]

Wow what a beautiful way to start the vid with that flight, lovely camera work, how much did it cost and who was you pilot, I want him?

[@PaddyDoyle.]

90USD you can organise it anywhere in town very easily

[@martinbender3509]

Really enjoyed the video! Could you tell us please where/how you booked the paragliding and how much you paid for it? Thank you very much Paddy!

[@PaddyDoyle.]

there are SO MANY shops in the town that book it for you, 90$ USD

[@jonathanmoua8543]

I can't wait to go back and visit these beautiful places
