Chumphon in Southern Thailand is arguably the most underrated province because it really doesn't brag about just how beautiful it really is.
Today let me take you on a tour on the province as we travel up mountains, enjoy rainbows at sunset, and soak up this tropical beach where a HUGE part of my life was formed.

Great story Paddy. I was getting homesick seeing all those places and people that I can’t see and go to.
I've been working at Mantanusorn School Paddy. Beautiful private school in Chumphon province
Hi Paddy, i am new subscriber....interesting content and the way you present your vlogs are really good. Keep up the good work .
Tashi from New York City
Hi Paddy I'm a knew subscriber, love your video, good job.God Blessing
very strange gay you are! 13 year have gone without you learning 3 thai words!!! You just have your nose in the air
No way, I randomly found this and I’m shocked because around 9 years ago, Paddy was my teacher in that school. Do you remember class 6/7? 😭 I’m crying. I still tell the story about your favorite hairstyle back then 😂 (a small braid) to my friends. You are one of my favorite teachers in my life.
Hope we will meet again. I don’t know why TH-cam suggested me this. Fate will it!
Ps. I’m not sure you can remember me, it’s Maprang :)
Of course I remember you Maprang 💞💞💞💞💞
The use of 'no way' makes you sound like a native English speaker, geng maak!
TH-cam suggested you this because your english is great and apparently you look for travel content in Thailand in english...
Of all the videos of you that I have watched, this is probably the most personal, the most reflective, and in some ways, soothing. It was like a mini retrospective of a part of your life and all that you have accomplished since then, the people you have met, the things you have done, your thoughts. Very inspiring! I love the filming from the drone with music, the scenes of the beautiful beach and I feel the vibes thousands of kilometres away. Thanks for sharing your experience and opening my eyes to the unknown and the beauty of Thailand! This is LIFE.
Thanks so much 💞
I also agree....beautiful personal story...my tears rolled down my cheeks
Paddy Such a beautiful video. It makes me want to book a flight and move to Thailand. Thank you!
Agreed. Beautiful video and memories. Love it! Very inspiring Paddy. You are one of my favourite TH-camrs. Please come to Malaysia!
I agree too! This video really touched me! Three days ago I booked my flight to Thailand in January and I will definitely go to chumphon! Just to walk on tracks Paddy showed us! I traveled a bit the world when I was in Paddy's age and now I´m 69. But so many things Paddy said in this video reminded me to my youth and my travel experiences. One sentence I pick up from another hitchhiker was: people make places: And when he showed his "family" and people he met or the post of pimramai here.... I almost start crying and that doesn't happen very often..... What a masterpiece of video Paddy!!!! And peace to all of you❤💚
Must say the whole video was quite blurry.. probably because I was teary eyed throughout. Thank you for everything.. maybe one day I will be able to explain how much it means to me! I wouldn't hold your breath though 😃
Ah ash 😁 love u dude
What a story. You my friend are blessed with a gift.
I find myself wondering who your parents are, they did an amazing job. Setting you up for a life of adventure and the ability to share it gracefully with others.
💞
I think also Thailand, the job with young childen help him a lot on his never ending way 😉
your videos are getting better and better. What a beautiful mix of silliness, emotions, memories and personal stories. Thanks for sharing all of this with us.
I find it really difficult revisiting my past. It either provokes great memories that you no longer have or horrible memories that are obviously negative. I’ve done it a few times; visited old places I’ve lived and it always provoked feelings that just make me upset for whatever reason. Always move forward, make new memories every day, live for now.
Paddy, this was probably the BEST TH-cam video I've ever watched. Loved it from start to finish. Absolutely fantastic! Even shed a tear or two amongst the laughter. Good luck topping this one. Wow!
Wow cheers Sean
This is without a doubt your best video in the series 🎥 So pure and full of personality. This was great!
Thanks so much 💞
Wow. You are a great man. Working without payment for the rest of the year to make sure student got through everything.
Absolutely!
Lovely to see how you met Lina.
We have been watching Budgeteers Sri Lanka and now India. Loving them. Cath and Kevs x
💘
Seriously, the best video you've made in this series. Deeply touching. Thank you for sharing your emotional trip, that somehow connected to my own world adventures, & special people/places we come across along the way. Sadness & happiness, so much beauty.
It's a beautiful Life 💘💘
Well said Hadi, I totally agee.
My husband and I are teachers in Cambodia and we have been suffering so much with online teaching, it's been almost 1.5 years since we shut and your video inspired us so much. It's given us more motivation to take time off and actually just live! I also lived in Thailand and feel so nostalgic whilst watching your videos and I'm excited to explore all the hidden gems that you're uncovering.
Go for it 😃
We really enjoyed this video with your reminiscences and clips of how "it was" and you were. We were lucky and found the right one at school... 44 years later still (watching Paddy) together. Unrequited love must be hard work... your entrance into the pharmacy brought a tear to the eye - a real rainbow 🌈 moment with its pot of gold 🏆.
That is awesome!
Paddy Doyle, the kind of teacher that every kid should have. The teacher that inspires. The teacher that sets you on course for life. 😍 Thanks for sharing this episode.
♥️🌈♥️
Chumphon is definitely underrated. We usually stay there a few nights before heading to the Pier off to Koh Samui... it's very very chill...
As a former international educator for 38 years - 5 different countries ( now retired in Thailand) I can relate to your statement about stress. Good professionals in any job can find their work place stressful because we’re always trying to be better. It was good you decided to take a break but I am sure you will return to the classroom, Paddy. It keeps you young. 👍🏼
Thanks 😊😌😌
The reaction when you entered the pharmacy was very special. Your Thai "family" never forgot you that is for sure. Emotional and genuine love during that hug.
Great vid. As a teacher who has taught in HK, Korea, Japan and Singapore and, on occasion, been back to all of them and dropped in on old friends and old schools, this hit me in the feels. Next levelness.
Thanks 😊
Thomas Wolfe, "You Can't Go Home Again". True, but you came as close as any one could and told a very enjoyable, personal story. Bravo sir.
If you look on Renthub you'll see that you can get perfectly decent apartments in Chumphon - bathroom, balcony, own front door, air con - for 3,500 baht a month. If someone will pay you 25-30k to teach English you've way more disposable income than you'd have in the UK. Your total housing cost has gone to £90 all in. Comparing like with like it would be £500 in the UK generally, and twice that in London.
This particular video, is the best you have ever done.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful memories with us.
Now you aren't in Thailand anymore, so many of your students and friends are missing you.
Tears in my eyes😢
Ah thanks for the lovely message
Cool story about your friends Thijs and Lina. Nice to see the 'old' videos and photos. You've got a lot of great stories.
Came for info on Chumphon and stayed for Paddy's back story. Fascinating.
The older you get the stronger the more meaningful the memories become and you suddenly wake up and realise you have missed out on so much of your life. Lovely to see your past experiences and friendships Paddy. What an awesome video.. thanks
Cheers Ben 😃
My guy and I always enjoy watching your videos together. You exude such kindness, good humour and you’re just so humble & genuine! Love that you always keep it real (no filters), and have a good soul. We need more guys like you out there! 💜 from Montreal, Canada!
Thanks 👍
Love your vids, Paddy.
The way you Thai Family mom said Paddy when she first recognized you was so heartwarming!!!!
It was 💞
This has to be my new FAVORITE video! Really enjoyed getting to know you 😊 Amazing authenticity! Thank you for starting the day off with this! Keep them coming and we'll keep watching! 👀☺️
I’m your FC. Thank you so much for Thai people . You make the world know Thailand better.
Great story
Loved It again !
Great Video!
nice one paddy
This was your most personal and best vlogs you have done, Paddy. Thank you for sharing your story! And your Budgeteers fans like me loved the backstory in meeting Lina and Thijs, and we got to stroll down memory lane with you when you referenced Series 2 down Central America. Love it!! ♥️
Thanks 😊
Great video mate.
Best episode! cheers
Meeting old friends is the best! Thanks for reminding me how important those memories are. 🌴🌴🌴
Loved your back story! Great episode 🙌👍
You're such an inspiration Paddy...now me and my community are all hooked onto your vlogs...beautiful background story of Chumporn and your journey from Leeds to India to Thailand and Australia...what an inspiration...anything in this world is possible if you dream big...thank you Paddy for guiding 💘
A masterpiece. Thank you!
Awesome video Paddy!
Thanks 😊😊
Very moving. Your love for Thailand 🇹🇭, teaching, travelling, and the people you love, just poors out.
Real connection.
So glad you are making this series, and I'm so looking forward for to the time that 1 becomes 3 again! There will be tears! 😭
❤️
This was wonderful and teary in equal measures. That moment, my ears could hear your heart screaming for Lina and Thies, to just be there, with you. Nice to have an almost break along your way through all the places. Thankyou for letting us in.
What a story Paddy...loved it. Felt like left a part of me at Chumphon.
Loved this one.
Wow nice to see your beginnings , you have aged really well paddy !!
Loved this...great to re-visit places that hold fond memories. It's also great to see the impact you made on your students. So glad that the family in the pharmacy were still there, that must have been fantastic seeing them again, really pleased for you. I heard you are off to Hua Hin next, shame you are passing Prachuap and won't see the amazing sunrise over the bay. Safe travels
Thanks 😊
This is so great. 👍 You have an amazing set of travels. 👍 I love them so much! : )
Hi Paddy! I don't often comment because I just like what you do. But after today's video I would like to say that I enjoy it when you reveal more about your personal journey. This was a truly touching video which actually brought a tear to my eye. Seeing you as a Uni student was bloody hilarious. Keep up the good work! Cheers!
Haha thanks 🙂
Thanks for the sharing...
Can Really Hear Your Soul in this One Great
I was in Chumpon three times, and I will come back. I love the unspoiled beaches and islands! Great region with only a few tourists. I hope, this will not change!
This one struck a chord… The visit must have stirred up lots of emotions for you..with all the intertwining memories and connections emanating from Chumphon. The love really shone through, particularly when you talked about your early teaching days, your Thai family and how you first met Lina.. thanks for sharing that and more with us.
Anyway, thought I’d also let you know how your TH-cam therapy sessions are going so far…While I can’t speak for you, it’s all working extremely well for me! Keep it up Paddy, you’re an inspiration.. ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
I missed the premiere today.. I see you've got sparky 2.0. A real emotional video..❤️
I ❤️ this video Paddy, thank you for sharing your lovely beach.
Try for watching 💙
I can’t begin to tell you what your videos have meant to my wife and I. My wife is Thai and immigrated to America when she was 17. We met in college and soon got married. Thus began my sheer love for Thailand over the last 45 years. We lived in Chiang Mai in 2011-12 where I taught at Duryasilp College of Music, Payap University. Your videos have given us laughter, tears of joy and missing Thailand and have kept kindled the hope that we will be able to come back as soon as things open up. I look forward to every video each week and can relate so much with your experiences and honest “take” on Thailand. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Awesome to hear that 😊😅😅
This one is one of my favorites, Paddy. Thanks for sharing.
that rainbow is magnificent 😍
This is so beautiful. Going back in time & knowing your story and seeing the laid-back Chumphon was like getting Thai massage to my soul. Lovely video Paddy. Filled with emotions. Great vibe as always. Much love ❤️
Excellent video Paddy and than you for sharing not only your travels but also your personal life. I think the courage you have in just following your dreams without fear is an inspiration to us all.
PS I loved the mention of my hometown Leeds.
Really enjoyed this one Paddy!
Thanks 😊☺️☺️
Wonderful and hugely enjoyable episode as always Paddy. Hollywood producers pay millions for scores and soundtracks to elicit emotion from their audience but you need none of that. Your çomfort and ease in front of the camera allow you to tell the story of your life in such a natural and engaging way. I always feel like I'm along for the ride with you and it's a balm in these times to share your adventures. Long may it continue.
Your right...your best episode yet!❤️❤️❤️
You are a great story teller Paddy. It’s so nice that you still have a connection to Chumpon. Keep on making happy memories!
Wow, loved hearing (and seeing) your story. It only makes us appreciate this channel all the more. And in the end, it helped me appreciate the places in my past that are special to me. Thanks, Paddy!😀👍
Lovely story Paddy ,The music and the drone footage almost felt i was there with you 🙏
Thanks for sharing your memories..really special
Thanks for watching
I really enjoyed your story of becoming what you are. The way you did this was absolute magic. I too am an English teacher who has lived in two different places since leaving the US 31 years ago. The way you talked about your schools, students, friends & favorite places reminds me of my adventures. Thanks for putting your heart and soul into this masterpiece. May you have many more great memories.
Just happened to come across your videos by chance a couple of weeks ago I love thailand and South East Asia as a hole I must say am absolutely loving watching you and your adventures keep up the good work and thank you xx
Very nice video, and beautiful ultra clear videography
Tqvm Mr Paddy for your sharing .
Keep up the awesome content. Leveling up constantly. ✊
Thanks 😊
You have the best vlogs about Thailand. I watched most of them. I am very envious of your experience traveling all over Thailand. I was born in Thailand, but moved to the US when I was a teenager. When I visited, I normally saw various relatives at only a handful of provinces. I have been to most the tourist traps in Thailand, Chiang Mai, Phuket, etc. But I have always wanted to travel the country the way you do it. Now I have made it a mission to do the same in the near future.
Awesome 👍
this was awesome Paddy........i really really enjoyed your story..tnx.
Thanks 😊
Enjoyed being taken along for this journey into memory.
Thanks for bringing us with you, Paddy! Enjoying the trip so far! My super special place is Siargao Island, Philippines.
Really enjoyed this allways good to go back on old memories.wishing your chanel lots more subscribers xx

What an amazing video! Thanks for taking us back to the very start of your wonderful life’s journey….it’s great to see a young man share his adventures from the very beginning to where he’s at at now! This video definitely made us go through the emotions with you….and your experiences has made you who you are as a person and we love your personality! Your accommodation was not bad at all and keep the vlogs coming 😉

My pleasure 🥰
Lovely video with the real personal touch! I loved Chumpon on my bikeride thru Thailand! Its a great place! Thanx for sharing!
Thanks for watching
Paddy !
By far my favourite instalment so far. So raw and genuine.
If it means anything, I also remember when I first laid eyes on Lina (and you I guess)… staff room in the office stumbling across the budgeteers.
Hooked ever since.
See you in the next one.
Thank you so much for sharing this video
Thanks for watching 💙
Really enjoyed watching - great storytelling! And you mentioning San Blas Islands brought back great memories for us - would love to return someday
Thanks 😊
Hey Paddy,
We are loving these videos that you skilfully put together, even though you minimise your editing efforts.
We are also loving your story that got you on your teaching journey. I (Judy), teach ESL online and plan to do the same when we land in Chiang Mai. You're truly an inspiration Paddy. Thank you. 😀
Oh wow, you make me see Chumphon in a different way. it is really a beautiful place to visit.
One of the best clips, Paddy. Thanks for letting us in to your young life. Brilliant clip. Stay safe..
