What I love about you Paddy is your are so humble and unpretentious even with your success on TH-cam. Build a waterpark on a mas burial site. What were they thinking. Look who won, "The Ghosts" You should have spent the night. That would be a scary video! Like always epic drone shots. You never disappoint! Always look forward to your videos. Have a great day mate!
Yeah, I was just thinking as the video ended that one of the things i love about Paddy, besides his awesome videos, is his unpretentiosness!! Hes so real and authentic and its absolutely charming!!
My first comment as a channel member. The kid has been up north (Seattle) at her mom's for the past month so I've been cracking open multiple beers each evening and watching your Thailand videos (I started at the very start and am currently through your Pai video). Every night I have the same conversation in my head, "This guy's production skills are brilliant. Inspiring. You need to become a member. He deserves it." "Nah, that's the beer talking. Don't do anything rash." Well, here I am weeks later, stone cold sober, and I have clear-headedly (is this a word?) decided to join. I really appreciate all of your content. Looking forward to your exploration of Danang. Love that city. My favorite in Vietnam.
Paddy have to say, I have been to Vietnam 25 times and lived there for 2 years! But your videos make me want to go back and do all the places I've visited again 😄 Keep it up lad! Always love my tour videos in a blighty accent...
I just wanted to give you a huge thank you for sharing your trip with us. I've travelled the length of Vietnam for months a couple of times and watched numerous TH-cam videos. Your videos are far and away the best I've seen and bring back some wonderful memories as well as showing a few places I'm yet to visit. I'm really looking forward to the next vids in your tour
Thanks for mentioning the TopGear episode, Paddy :) that was exactly the episode that inspired me to do the Hai Van Pass!! In fact, I did the whole mountain pass in a simple bicycle!! Had so much fun filming the whole bike ride!! Bet you enjoyed as much on your motorbike too.
The Hai Van Pass looks beautiful! Having your own motorbike gives you so much more freedom than going on with a rider. I caught a train this year, but travelling Vietnam by motorbike is definitely on my bucket list!
We are very thankful to you as well Paddy. You bring us your humor and a view into a world we may otherwise never see, and you do it with spectacular production value! The graffiti is so funny. I could be in the Bronx or any street in Chicago or L.A. and see it! Beautiful views and a spectacular beach. My Saigon friend left just before you got there!
Oh Paddy. Excellent video of you from Hue to DaNang. For me this DaNang moment is VERY emotional, as I celebrated the 2020 New Year in DaNang after returning from wonderful Phu Quoc island. I was SO impressed with what they call the Miami of South East Asia (DaNang) that I decided I will retire there, as I loved it so much - a mid size city right on the South China sea with great fresh air and a clean and uncongested city. What could possibly go wrong? COVID came and the Vietnam government reacted to it in a bad way. They decided to kick out most of the foreigners by not renewing their visas. I saw horrible videos of retirees who had lived in DaNang for many years who were forced to evacuate from Vietnam because of COVID as there would be no more long term visas. Truly awful and SO disruptive to so many foreigners and retirees. So my DREAM to retire in beautiful DaNang was CRUSHED. Hopefully, one day soon, the Vietnamese government will reintroduce the long term stay visas so that us retirees can return -->> but with caution - because we will never know when will be the next time that the government will force us to evacuate again. It makes it difficult for retirement planning.
@@violetthuynguyen4931 yeah now after the Covid crisis finished. What will the government do to us foreigners during the next crisis? Can they be trusted?
Hiya Paddy, I love watching your adventures and travels. I love your sense of humor. You always make me smile. Your videos are always uplifting. Shame about the water park. It looked like it would have been a great place. Perfect tunes. The traffic did look hectic. Insane views, so beautiful. You cracked me up when you broke out in song. Abba. 😁😆The beach looked spectacular. Good vibes. Another great video. Beautiful drone footage. Well deserved beer and dance.🍺 🕺The perfect end to your day. And video. Love your videos, Paddy. Thank you. 🙌
Excellent presentation. Da Nang is very cool. So much to see and do there. I had a very nice, and very inexpensive hotel room with a balcony overlooking the beach, and of course I had to take a photo of the sunrise my first morning there, and post "Good morning Vietnam". I totally missed that beach you visited though. Wish I would have known about it-- it is beautiful. Oh well, the high rise hotels overlooking the city beaches are very nice as well.
Been watching your content for a week, just got a new sub from the random thank you. In regards to any ancient buildings/monuments built in a tropical climate; people had to fight extreme heat/humidity to build it. And if anyone ever been to Vietnam the heat is unbearable sometimes you just want to sit inside an AC cafe all day. Kudos to you for driving around on that note as well!
I've always had a love for lost civilizations, ruins, really old stuff, etc., so I LOVED that unpopular ruler who had the nerve to tax people to build his own tomb since he knew they wouldn't do it for him. It's a beautiful place, for sure. I never get tired of seeing that dragon...too bad they didn't get to finish it as I think it would have been an AMAZING park (unlike all the faux European ones going up). I prefer that design and the aesthetics of how that dragon was created.
@@chrispekel5709 True dat. If you look hard enough, there are similarities in every culture. Some just wrap it up and market it better, but in the end, someone somewhere is taking advantage of and getting rich off the poor peeps.
Actually you should definitely check out that guy, his name was Khai Dinh. He was a gay (or a transgender), "weird" crossdresser and a fashionista at his best lol, definitely born in the wrong era, wrong family, and was put in a wrong position (for both himself and the whole nation). Me and my friends always say when mention about him that if Khai Dinh was born in this era he'd be the baddest b!tch ever 😂.
the whole series i am thinking who needs netflix when we have Paddy Doyle😅... you just give us such a happy vibe, it's marvelous watching you travel. what's even better and relatable to me is your way of travel. It's the only way to really get to see stuff and emerge yourself in the country(well at least for me) 🤞good luck to super dreamy and you on your future adventures
I hope when you get to HCMC, you meet up with Max McFarlin and do a video with him. Have him show you the best snail/seafood restaurant (got to get the stuff in coconut sauce!), com tam, banh xeo, savory/sweet sticky rice dishes, bot chien, com binh dan (restaurant that showcases lots of home cooked types of meals), bun rieu, bun thit nuong, bo kho, banh cuon, etc.
I totally burst out laughing after you slo-mo'ed yourself doing a copy of the IG guy after making comments on what he's doing. The music that accompanied it and everything was just perfect!!
Oh man !! You miss Tam Giang Lagoon (evening), Bach Ma Moutain, Thien An Hill (near abandon water park), Huong River (flow from thien mu pagoda to Truong Tien Plaza ) and color night. Lovely place for couple !!
Those are some great suggestions...makes you wonder why youtubers all go to the same places when there are so many different ones to see around Hue! Although to Paddy's credit, I hadn't seen the tomb he showed at the beginning of the video and I really love that. I HATE modern, big, shiny cities like HCMC as I prefer nature, ruins/lost civilizations, outdoorsy adventures, etc.
@@doodahgurlie Tomb : Khai Dinh (on Paddy video), Tu Duc (biggest), Minh Mang Long Street beside river : Kim Long (Huong River), Song Bo (Bo river) Vong Canh hill Tunnel (small water fall) : Suoi Voi, Suoi Nhi Ho, Suoi Thanh Tan (hot-water) Tam Giang Lagoon : seafood 's so fresh, just jump out off water and jump in boil water right now. The flavor of sea is still. Delicious !! i love sunset on huong river (feb-april, aug-sep is so ...wow), hire duck-board (near Cau Moi ) and ride mid on river. Love color of led on ledge of old castle Hue style is slow and enjoy
@@quangvinh1153 I think we all vote Paddy should go back and pick up the places he missed! I want him to ride the Dragon Spine (Ta Xua Nature Reserve) as episode 6 was so epic due to the danger and exhilarating factor of that ride. I also think he needs to do Ninh Binh more justice as there's so much more there to see/do...also re-do Cat Ba by getting out of the city and seeing what else is around.
You can go east around the big lake from Hue to the pass, passing a lot of cemetery sites along the beach. Takes longer but it avoids the highway and is a lot prettier.
Some of the views are just breathtakingly beautiful. The thing I really love about the way this series is being filmed is that you really get a feeling that it is you who is driving the motorcycle and seeing all those nice and scenic views for the first time yourselves.
Done the Hai van pass 8 years ago that brought back great memories if you get a chance hit the bamboo bar near the dragon bridge. Keep up the good work Paddy.
We all should thank you for your brilliant videos (with fantastic music) on awesome places that most of us do not have the chance to visit. But best of all is your cheerfulness and absolutely entertaining narratives to bring smiles and happiness in our lives. Keep up the good work. Stay safe and be happy always. Cheers.
Thanks again for sharing your journey. We appreciate all the work behind the scenes plus editing to produce each episode. I hope you have sometime to enjoy your trip when you are not filming. I started flying a drone early this year and I always enjoy photography. I know it’s lots of work to produce such an excellent quality channel. ❤️ Thank you!
The drive from Hue to Danang CAN be amazing all day! But it's a different route, only adds about 30-40 mins to the total ride, so I feel it's worth it. Directions are easy: From Hue, go to the coast (Thuan An Beach), then just stay on that road (QL49B) until it eventually joins back with the highway. If time allows it, this makes the full ride from Hue to Danang much better, then of course Hai Van Pass is amazing, before finally arriving in Danang city
Incredible view of Da Nang from the Hai Van pass and what a sunset. Loved the start of the video at the Posh Bloke's mausoleum...made me chuckle. Already looking forward to the next video 😉👊
I did the Hai Van pass in May of 2000. Epic views!!! It was in fact listed by National Geographic as one of the 20 most scenic roads in the world. No souvenir shops though when I did it. Love your work Paddy. Keep it up.
Paddy, the best is your slow-motion walk! 😄You're such a star! Btw lately, we've been binging on your videos from Vietnam. It brings us a lot of memories 😍
Oooh that viewpoint was amazing! I love when things are named and then they don't live up to their name - in amusing ways. Secret Beach... There has to be a story there. 😆😁
I visited this park in 2010 and it was still open with fish, crocodiles, turtles .... this is so strange to see this big dragon totally abandoned, thanks to share your adventures :)
Hi Paddy, I was stationed on a hospital ship in the harbor during the war. There was also a German hospital ship anchored In the harbor called " The Helgaland " this was in 1970. Watching your video DaNang has changed tremendously. There used to be an orphanage up in the mountain to the north we used to release the healed wounded children to. We would fly them there from the hospital ship. You could stand on the deck of the ship at night in the harbor and see the flairs and tracer bullets in those northern mountains. It was very unique and also horrifying to watch the war from that position. I'm glad to see that all of that is finished.. Enjoy your tour. I am enjoying your video. I haven't been back to Viet Nam since I left in1971.
I was stationed at Hai Van Pass in December 1966, on the hill behind the old French Fort during the Vietnam War. The area was far different then, and people were getting shot. We patrolled down toward Da Nang on the highway, then back up. I talk about it in my soon-to-come-out book, The Cocoa Kid.
Hi Paddy, enjoyed this VLOG, especially the views along the Hai Van Pass. I'm really looking forward to you showing Da Nang and Hoi An as they are two places that I really enjoyed on two visits there in two years......great places. Keep on doing what you're doing but most of all stay safe.😄😊
@@chrispekel5709 Poor you - got less general knowledge. Danang city got a better-organized infrastructure than Hanoi and HCM City, with a better mini-climate with the river and sea air. About the driving speed, for ordinary people (don't talk about the crazy young men/racing boys), because there is no need to hurry here, it's slower and less struggle than driving in Hanoi and HCM City (Hanoi and HCM are busier cities). No hours of traffic jams and air pollution caused by car exhaust and chemical smogs. More than that, no beggars here in Danang.
Hi Paddy, being grateful is what life is all about. Thank you for your videos. They're all very inspirational and have convinced my partner and I that it is time we also visited Vietnam which we will do for both our 50th birthdays. You're insightful,funny and humble. Keep up the amazing work.
Thank you Paddy Doyle for sharing your experience of visiting Vietnam from north to south by Motorbike. Thanks to you I discover my country that I left at the age of 18
Thanks a lot Mr. Paddy. Through your videos I knew more my country. I am Vietnamise person but I have been living abroad for many years. So I have no chance to travel in my native place. I am so grateful to you for all things you made. Be strong and save.
I can't believe that after watching you ride a motorcycle 🏍️ daily, for hours on end for the past year and a half, that you complained that a ride was too short😂😂
Please please dont forget to locate the Tranmai Roots bar in Da Lat, ive done SE Asia twice so far and hope to head out again soon, really cool seeing you enjoy so much that i have seen and watching as you discover more gems for my next trip, but Roots bar in Da Lat would be my absolute highlight of everything i saw in Asia, P.S theres a back door to it if you can find it, you can get right up onto the hill behind it and view over the city at night.
You can get to those remote beaches, you just have to walk down the mountain. I've camped there twice! Oh, and I've cycled the Hai Van Pass 3 times this week to Lang Co and back from Da Nang 😁
Love it Paddy! 😀 Fantastic experience. Seeing DaNang again gave me a rush and left me longing to return. Such a beautiful city! If while there you crave pizza by any chance, visit Gordon's New York Pizza. 🍕 Tell him his buddy from Detroit 'Sal' referred you. I'm returning soon and can't wait!
I heard the pizza place to eat at is Pizza 4P's, which I would suggest Paddy try as well and give us his opinion as many people say it's the best pizza they ever had. It's started by a Japanese guy in Vietnam (can be found in Hanoi, HCMC, Da Nang, and also Nha Trang) and now he's branching out all over Southeast Asia.
@@doodahgurlie A little bit of a back story. My friend Gordon had just opened his turnkey store pizzeria sometime last year. Prior to that he started off his endeavor with a humble booth at SunTra Night Market, by the head of the Dragon Bridge where I first met and befriended him. Not saying one pizza is better than the other, I don't know the one from your recommendation, but I sure will check it out when I go this time. Thank you so much! Have a wonderful day!!!
Paddy great series well thought out bit off route sometimes which makes it interesting - will deffo buy your travel book or down load and hope to follow same route next year 👍🏻 Paddy you’re back pack on the bike what make is it and size - looks like you leave it a bit loose so it sits on you’re rear seat without pulling you back or bing uncomfortable 👍🏻 keep it up / keep on dancing - best bit so far you dancing at the self service gas station - while waiting to fill your scoot 😂🤣😂🤣😂 be safe - wear gloves 👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for watching ♥️ NEW episodes every 3 days this summer 🇻🇳🙏🇻🇳
What is that beach name? I’m going to be there next month
What I love about you Paddy is your are so humble and unpretentious even with your success on TH-cam. Build a waterpark on a mas burial site. What were they thinking.

Most city????? An adjective needed, Pal!
He's using translator and whatever is greatest in his language is coming out as most probably haha
Wow such a beautiful country. Never realized veitnam was like that . I will try visit over xmas. Love your video's Paddy.

I rode from Hue to Hoi An over the Hai Van pass a few years ago inspired by Top Gear. Fantastic scenery
We are very thankful to you as well Paddy. You bring us your humor and a view into a world we may otherwise never see, and you do it with spectacular production value! The graffiti is so funny. I could be in the Bronx or any street in Chicago or L.A. and see it! Beautiful views and a spectacular beach. My Saigon friend left just before you got there!
Wow, thank you
Oh Paddy.
Excellent video of you from Hue to DaNang.
For me this DaNang moment is VERY emotional, as I celebrated the 2020 New Year in DaNang after returning from wonderful Phu Quoc island. I was SO impressed with what they call the Miami of South East Asia (DaNang) that I decided I will retire there, as I loved it so much - a mid size city right on the South China sea with great fresh air and a clean and uncongested city.
What could possibly go wrong?
COVID came and the Vietnam government reacted to it in a bad way. They decided to kick out most of the foreigners by not renewing their visas. I saw horrible videos of retirees who had lived in DaNang for many years who were forced to evacuate from Vietnam because of COVID as there would be no more long term visas. Truly awful and SO disruptive to so many foreigners and retirees.
So my DREAM to retire in beautiful DaNang was CRUSHED.
Hopefully, one day soon, the Vietnamese government will reintroduce the long term stay visas so that us retirees can return -->> but with caution - because we will never know when will be the next time that the government will force us to evacuate again. It makes it difficult for retirement planning.
Sorry for what happened to you. I hope Vietnam will make it easier for foreign retirees soon.
You can apply for Evisa of 90 days now
@@violetthuynguyen4931 yeah now after the Covid crisis finished. What will the government do to us foreigners during the next crisis? Can they be trusted?
they have learned hard lesson. No longer tight policy at least in next few years so that economics can recover@@mfj2648
You can retire there and when your Visa expires just go to nearest border Laos to renew. Hope this help.

Love that you went to the Waterpark. We loved that place when we went. I am jealous you had it completely to yourself.
Loving following along, great dinner time ritual for us here in Thailand, keep up the great work mate,
From Hue to Danang the better route is the QL49 B, no highway .
A few years ago I was on a cycle tour of Vietnam and we cycled up the Hai Van pass - killer !!! (and down the other side after a well earned break)
So glad your going to Hoi an....what a place....well done paddy.
Thank you so much Paddy , another great video. cant get enough
Paddy another good episode. Interesting and entertaining. Thanks for sharing!

and tracer bullets in those northern mountains. It was very unique and also horrifying to watch the war from that position.
I'm glad to see that all of that is finished.. Enjoy your tour. I am enjoying your video. I haven't been back to Viet Nam since
I left in1971.
Wow 🥺
Welcome to Viet Nam !! One more time. Enjoy my beautiful country in peaceful.
You have the power to make my days happier. Thanks a lot!!!
I really repect and love your adventure to another country difference language but you very engnergitic and joyfully hand down chere
I was stationed at Hai Van Pass in December 1966, on the hill behind the old French Fort during the Vietnam War. The area was far different then, and people were getting shot. We patrolled down toward Da Nang on the highway, then back up. I talk about it in my soon-to-come-out book, The Cocoa Kid.
LOVE the video Paddy! You crack us up!! We recently did the Hai Van Pass too, one of the highlights of the trip so far for sure! Beautiful!! ❤
Hi Paddy, enjoyed this VLOG, especially the views along the Hai Van Pass. I'm really looking forward to you showing Da Nang and Hoi An as they are two places that I really enjoyed on two visits there in two years......great places. Keep on doing what you're doing but most of all stay safe.😄😊
Youre content is better than TV travel shows, its only a matter of time before you are snapped up by a network, good luck!
Really loving this series bro. I always get excited when a new one drops. Thanks for the awesome content
Hy vọng bạn sẽ hài lòng với chuyến đi này ở Việt Nam 🇻🇳❤️
Did that Pass 8 years ago. Inspiration TopGear :)
Living the dream Paddy….living the dream 🤘🏼
Really enjoyed it so much.. thanks Paddy be safe.🇸🇬
I lived in DN for years and never been to that secret beach, where is it? 😱😱😱
True legend 👍😉🇬🇧❤️
Yes the scenery is a stunner. Drove from Danang to Hue and love it. Also Danang is a lovely city, clean and less traffic
People drive fast in Danang.
It's not all that clean, it just has less population that Hanoi and Saigon so it appears that way.
@@chrispekel5709 Poor you - got less general knowledge. Danang city got a better-organized infrastructure than Hanoi and HCM City, with a better mini-climate with the river and sea air.
About the driving speed, for ordinary people (don't talk about the crazy young men/racing boys), because there is no need to hurry here, it's slower and less struggle than driving in Hanoi and HCM City (Hanoi and HCM are busier cities). No hours of traffic jams and air pollution caused by car exhaust and chemical smogs. More than that, no beggars here in Danang.
Hi Paddy, being grateful is what life is all about. Thank you for your videos. They're all very inspirational and have convinced my partner and I that it is time we also visited Vietnam which we will do for both our 50th birthdays. You're insightful,funny and humble. Keep up the amazing work.
Such an excellent video! Hai Van pass looks stunning but too short indeed 😂
Making full use of the Mavic, nice work ....
paddy one oof the best. thankyou so much.
Thank you Paddy Doyle for sharing your experience of visiting Vietnam from north to south by Motorbike. Thanks to you I discover my country that I left at the age of 18
Thanks a lot Mr. Paddy. Through your videos I knew more my country. I am Vietnamise person but I have been living abroad for many years. So I have no chance to travel in my native place. I am so grateful to you for all things you made. Be strong and save.
Paddy with his famous laugh ..haha haha
I can't believe that after watching you ride a motorcycle 🏍️ daily, for hours on end for the past year and a half, that you complained that a ride was too short😂😂
I know!!
My wife was sick when we were in Hue. She missed out. Another Vietnamese highlight!
Please please dont forget to locate the Tranmai Roots bar in Da Lat, ive done SE Asia twice so far and hope to head out again soon, really cool seeing you enjoy so much that i have seen and watching as you discover more gems for my next trip, but Roots bar in Da Lat would be my absolute highlight of everything i saw in Asia, P.S theres a back door to it if you can find it, you can get right up onto the hill behind it and view over the city at night.
You can get to those remote beaches, you just have to walk down the mountain. I've camped there twice! Oh, and I've cycled the Hai Van Pass 3 times this week to Lang Co and back from Da Nang 😁
So glad that I found your channel. Absolutely beautiful videos and you are so hilarious!
Thank you so much!!
Thanks paddy another great video 🍺🍺
Driving along the coat look so beautiful with the blue water nd the green from trees.
Some nice bars on the riverfront in Da Nang Paddy, I think one was named Bamboo bar mate, enjoy. 🙏🙏
That's a horrible old ex pat bar with inflated prices and dead heads, head to my khe beach area for authentic bars, spoilt for choice there
@@kippsguitar6539 4 years ago, was a very decent bar!! Paddy will find the best places, I'm sure. 🙏🙏
Love it Paddy! 😀 Fantastic experience. Seeing DaNang again gave me a rush and left me longing to return. Such a beautiful city!
If while there you crave pizza by any chance, visit Gordon's New York Pizza. 🍕 Tell him his buddy from Detroit 'Sal' referred you. I'm returning soon and can't wait!
I heard the pizza place to eat at is Pizza 4P's, which I would suggest Paddy try as well and give us his opinion as many people say it's the best pizza they ever had. It's started by a Japanese guy in Vietnam (can be found in Hanoi, HCMC, Da Nang, and also Nha Trang) and now he's branching out all over Southeast Asia.
@@doodahgurlie
A little bit of a back story. My friend Gordon had just opened his turnkey store pizzeria sometime last year. Prior to that he started off his endeavor with a humble booth at SunTra Night Market, by the head of the Dragon Bridge where I first met and befriended him.
Not saying one pizza is better than the other, I don't know the one from your recommendation, but I sure will check it out when I go this time. Thank you so much! Have a wonderful day!!!
Hai Van Pass short but sweet
Thank you too Paddy, really enjoying your vids, calm commentary, useful info.
In Hue, the Thiên-Mụ Pagoda is worth a visit.
Paddy great series well thought out bit off route sometimes which makes it interesting - will deffo buy your travel book or down load and hope to follow same route next year 👍🏻 Paddy you’re back pack on the bike what make is it and size - looks like you leave it a bit loose so it sits on you’re rear seat without pulling you back or bing uncomfortable 👍🏻 keep it up / keep on dancing - best bit so far you dancing at the self service gas station - while waiting to fill your scoot 😂🤣😂🤣😂 be safe - wear gloves 👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻
i just got back from Vietnam had the best time ever. ill be back before the years end.
Nice one paddy 👍😎👌🤝🙏
