- TH-camr, Traveller and dreamer. He quit his job as a primary school teacher, sold his belongings and hopped on his 94 Honda Dream motor bike to visit all 77 provinces of Thailand, to follow his passion for creating videos, travelling and living the Thailand dream.
Paddy Doyle is an extreme example of what a hard-working man can achieve.

Thanks for the opportunity to talk and share some of the behind the scenes of my life ♥️
It was an absolute pleasure to talk with you Paddy. Thank you for sharing and keep inspiring 🙂
Totally wholesome 👍👍🙏❤️.
Patty You are doing an excellent job. Navigating through Asian countries without getting killed is a feat most of these viewers will never experience. You make it look so easy but I know it’s not. I felt bad for you when you lost your wallet knowing how difficult it is to accomplish anything in Thailand mostly due to a lot of traffic and people. It’s easier to navigate the roads in the USA compared to Thailand. I road a Honda 550 from Pattaya to Rayong and back during rainy season. You are used to riding on the left side of the road. Our steering wheel is on the left but we drive on the right side of the road except in the Virgin Islands as they are like England.
Brilliantly done great sharing 🎉
YOU are Freaking Awesome bro! Hugs!
Paddy is doing for us what we don't have time to do ourselves. He's out there living his BEST LIFE.
well said Jett
I am 73 yr old & after viewing Paddy's videos I went to Thailand & visited many sites he vlogged. He relates to me. Now I'm too old to ride a motorbike but still got around
Watched this ALL THE WAY...and it was fascinating .
Paddy Doyle is the real deal. I've seen every single one of his videos since he beginning. He kept going and kept it real...so inspiring. If Paddy can do it, anyone can do it.
well said
I always appreciate how honest Paddy is when he talks about his life as a TH-camr and a human being. ❤️
Best 90 minutes of my day! Thank you. I can see Paddy will crack into the big league. Somewhere between Noraly (Itchy Boots) & Harold Baldur. The world is a big place, so Paddy shouldn't get bored? Regards Tony
This was such a great interview! PLEASE get Paddy back on for an update talk!!!!🦆
Loved this. Watched Paddy from the start of his journey. I have loved watching him grow. His channel is next level. I love his humor. Honesty. He is a top bloke. His footage is epic. Lovely bloke. He works very hard. I hope he doesn't stop after five years. I have always been concerned about his loneliness. He's committed so much to his channel. I wish him a million subscribers.
And it must get frustrating. I have seen some really crap videos that do amazing. But some people do love drama.
VR does not interest me. But I am probably showing my age.
I love his channel. And will always support Paddy. I love how his private life is private. Not everything is for TH-cam. I could see Paddy on Tv. It would be worth watching the telly then.
Great interview.
I have subscribed to your channel.
Thank you Nick. Glad to hear you enjoyed it
2 of my favorite guys on the screen at once? Mr Doy-Le could easily be on the TV because he is organized, funny and easy to trust. A TV presenter type is my hero Bangkok Pat, calm, funny and doing everything so easy. I have followed Paddy since the early cringe days of his channel and hopefully he entertain me for a long, long time.
I met Paddy about 2 weeks ago, and have to admit I was excited, crazy as that might seem, but true. We met at a mall in Chiang Mai. He was kind enough to talk to me for a bit at my request. He was as I hoped he would be, seeing how I watch a ton of his content, it would be a let down if he was any different then what I'm used to watching. He's actually living in the same building as I am at the moment, I believe I recommended my building to him. I am happy he is taking a much needed break. We all go through stuff, some good, some not so good, but it's how we get through all that stuff that helps build our character.
We watch all Paddy's videos! He does an incredible job of narrating. Wonderful cinematography and so down to earth. And super honest with his excitement and down times too!
We can't wait to see his videos!!
We love Paddy's cinematography. Every video has something special

I started watching Paddy at the beginning of the Thai provinces trip. He's made some great videos and I think he'd be a great presenter for a tv show. Fingers-crossed!
🤞
What a great interview, Paddy Doyle your a legend. Thank you Thaiger
You're very welcome good sir. Great to you hear you enjoyed it
Well done Patty you've just become human reaching out to all of us.
Stress. Anxiety. Depression is a part of life these days unfortunately. U tube friends aren’t real friends.
I met Paddy a few months ago and he is 100% just as friendly and wholesome in person.
Confirmed. He is awesome
Loved the interview he is so easy to watch and listen to a down to earth guy.
Hope his wishes come true
Very humble and an absolute gentleman
Thank you both for this. Knowing Paddy from his very beginning and just exploring the thaiger it is a great experience to listen to you guys talking about all this stuff. Most important thing : people subscribe to people. That's it. Paddies channel or Ryan's or others are as good as they are because of your characters, your personalities. That's what makes the content interesting to watch. Thank you all for your work. Greetings from Germany.
Thank you for watching marten
Paddy, Keep doing what you do. I love it, make sure you enjoy it otherwise it will become a chore. I think the quality is getting better all the time. To be honest I would watch a video of you visiting a supermarket. In fact I have the 7-11 one, keep it up!
That was very enjoyable. I've been following Paddy since he first began his Thailand motorcycle journey, and he's part of our regular dinner-time TH-cam watching routine.
Glad you enjoyed it as much as we did nebula
I won't name names but one thing Paddy (and you, Jay) might keep in mind is that the thumbnail with the surprised shocked face with mouth open is a major TURNOFF to some of us. One youtuber literally shoots the thumbnail during the video and shows himself doing it, so you totally see how fake it is. The mouth open pose. UGH.
Bring paddy back!!!
Really liked Paddy's insights into being a youtuber, appreciate the honesty. He dropped quite the wisdom bombs as well :)
It's been an awesome ride Paddy 👍
Paddy Doyle keep doing what you're doing your a great inspiration
Thank you for watching Peter
He is a great TH-camr. Very knowledgeable and he creating high quality travels videos.And his laughing is contagious!
He is so relatable. You can always tell in his videos that he is so genuine! and yes, the laugh as well 😁
Fascinating podcast - really loved it. Big fan of you both. Paddy has such a great voice, I can listen to it all day. His openness and personal sharing is what sets him apart. Learning more of his personal side really makes me fell closer to knowing him and wanting to continue to follow him - just as if he was a personal friend. Weird - I know, but that’s TH-cam life.
We love you Paddy, we do, oh Paddy we love you ❤️🔥
Well done, both of you. Thank you.
Thank you Ed. Glad you enjoyed it
Bravo!! I watched this whole interview in the early hours whist enduring my second bout with Covid or a variant. Quick notes: My wife is originally from Nakhon Si Thammarat and we still visit the extended family there. Gotta love it. So bully for you for mentioning the place where she grew up and put herself through school, but that's another saga. What I like a lot about your experiences is that I am of the same mind. Just jump into it and express the personal experience that goes along with it, part and parcel ... although I'm not a You-Tuber ... yet, However, I'm becoming inspired to do a series of travelling from town to town, like I have already done in my extended visits to Thailand, my second home outside Toronto Canada, and sitting-in and playing my guitar with the local and international bands. The stories my musician colleagues have to tel ... OMG. I'm also a teacher ... I teach English to adults who have entered Canada as newcomers, although my students are victims of torture and war, so I am a rarity for the average Englsh language instructor. But what you have done and have been doing buoys my spirit ... Kind of a comfort to watch each episode as your life unfolds in front of our senses, especially when I'm having a down day in my wife's homeland ... Can't wait for the next Paddy Doyle episode. I can relate! The approach where you begin your day by thinking of a a title and taking a plan of action, despite the inevitable setbacks. Well, it's all inspiring. Great and timely interview. Lots of insight and advice. Thank you for this interview, Paddy and Jay at Thaiger. Rock on! dcb
You're welcome and thanks for the kind words David. Rock on mate! 🥳
Really enjoyed coming across this! Now I understand more fully why you asked your question on the community section about what you should do next. My answer would consider a lot more than what I want as a viewer. It is important to meet your personal and professional goals and needs as well as what will attract viewers. So I scratch my self absorbed reply and I will have to reconsider! Thank you for sharing!
Awesome!! Paddy is such a legend 🥳
Absolute legend! would love to meet and interview you one day keis! Love your channel and videos. Let me know when you're in town! - Jay
Jay, you definitely need to get Adam on, most likely with Dan. Just make sure the shoes stay on their feet.
@@thaigerpodcast thank you so much, I would love to do it! Back in a week 🥳
No desperation detected 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you Paddy, I really enjoyed this interview and I can appreciate your work even more!
Glad you enjoyed it
Amazing interview. Keep it coming
Cheers Miguel! More intresting and amazing people will be following
great episode
Thank you willy. glad you enjoyed it
I never really thought about the toll all this work and journey could take. Kudos to you Paddy
He's a trooper
Great Podcast (the first one I´ve ever watched!)- I´d give Paddy a solid 8 / 10 on his stuff easily... and remember it´s ok to not be ok. Great stuff guys- Andy.
Glad you enjoyed the episode!
Great podcast guys!
Thank you Zane, glad you enjoyed it
Just an awesome interview with one of the best and most real authentic and humble TH-camrs online thanks for sharing Paddy
Glad you enjoyed it
Best TH-cam channel
Paddy is the number one for Thai, Laos, and where ever he goes TH-camr and I love his humanness and decent character, Peace.
He is awesome
Paddy, I want to watch you on Discovery Channel 👌👏
I am sure he's going to be up there in the near future!
i cant wait for his new series. Great insight into the man himself and I loved the venerability and honesty in this interview. Thanks Thaiger
You and us both! Cant wait for his next adventure
Favourite Thailand youtuber ever! Caught him filming in Chiang Mai a couple of years ago before and recognised him from budgeteers. Then he really grew and actually got me back on TH-cam viewing as I had different perspective of cm/Thailand than what was being put out into the world before he filled the void.
He's one of our favourite as well!
Love your channel
Paddy you are a ripper. Sitting here in Aust after hiring a car in Chiang Mai and having the greatest trip down to Phuket. It was insane with the most ludicrous scenarios even for an Aussie used to kangaroos jumping out however just a cathartic experience to enjoy. How incredible is this country and up Nth similar to Far Nth Qld from the rainforest to the cane / pineapple humid heat.
Diverse country Krabi was mind blowing driving through plantations to get there and the rock formations my head was just spinning. Wish I would go and do what you are doing or have done / what an experience love it
Love paddy and his travel videos!
Stay tuned for his next adventure
Great pod and as a viewer of paddys for a long time it’s great to hear his perspective. Couple of things though - I think he’s so far off the mark about the 2 mil subs in 2 years thing if he went on the foodie route. Not because someone else couldn’t do that, but because paddy’s personality is not authentic presenting that sort of content and it’s why his food videos tend to not really go viral 🤷♂️
To me it sounds a bit bitter that others have success in that format - but if they tried paddy’s format they wouldn’t have the same success as him. At the end of the day the good TH-camrs lean into the content they’re good at. Personally I think paddy should embrace that rather than coming across as a bit jealous that others are moving faster than him lately - if paddy wants to say he is not a normal travel channel, and wants to preach to everyone that he’s different and original, then really he has no business comparing himself to channels that, by his own admission, are not his peers or in the same niche as him.
I live in Thailand as an expat and I see SOO many people do what he says his plan is with the food and the shocked faces - reality is 90% of them don’t crack 10k views and don’t do anything. You only see the 10% that do, and only 1% of those do it consistently a month or two later, usually because of their personality and ability to entertain people - therein lies the key to success, it’s not about the content idea, it’s about the person behind the camera and how well they entertain. Just like paddy can in his style of videos that others who do Food couldn’t.
Idk I loved hearing the rest of the pod, but the continual reference back to “I could be doing better if I did this” showed the hand a little. He thinks he’s better than those people I guess, when in reality, those who actually succeed at that sort of content are in a more competitive niche and really, have to work a bit harder for their success than someone not doing those sorts of videos would.
More power to you anyway paddy, hopefully you focus on yourself though as the videos are better that way.
I thought Paddy was one of the best travel vloggers till he said he was a 4/10 now I'm looking for someone better lol.
Honestly, his imperfections makes me subscribed 🤣
Great podcast, the thaiger needs to hire paddy. Make it happen Jay
haha cant afford him now! He's too big 🤣 But will definitely try to do more videos with Paddy in the future. He is an awesome guy
Pa-dee Doi-lee
Duuuuuuuude
Sweeeeeeet
One thing you missed is the character on the TH-cam channel. I look at channels sometimes for a minute or two and flick em but others I watch for a while and flick em , and then you find a stand out channel.
Ive just come back from Vietnam and Cambodia and watched your tour of Vietnam and YOU YOU BASTARD have made me want to go back there AGAIN brilliant filming and commentating. I'll watch Thailand next and get your tips as we might go there. Do Bali you shouldn't spend so much time away
Paddy is a ham!
EXCELLENT video! in sooooo many ways. I know if may sound like an odd question but can you share what equipment you used to record this? Mic? Mixer? Cameras? Lighting?, etc... it just sounded and "felt" so awesome! great work Jay (and your team) and of course Paddy :-)
Thank you and glad you enjoyed it. We have a small studio setup in the Thaiger office. Currently we use Sony a7iii and A6800 for any studio productions like our podcasts and simple youtube live we use Sony zv1. Tascam Mic and Tascam Mixer with 4-6 regular studio lights with softeners. Thank you for the kind words and glad you like the production quality
@@thaigerpodcast AWESOME. thanks very much for the reply. Psyched to watch/listen to more! Live the Dream! ciao
Really scary. I hope he can keep it together, or find a less haunted way to make his money going forward.
He's got it under control. I think for anyone working this hard it can always get a bit too much. Just need to refresh but Paddy is a very switched on young man!
Would love to hear you talk to Curt Kaz, or Ken Abroad. Now they take 'authentic' to a different level.
He sounds like Ricky Gervais
I'm sure that's a compliment 😆
I had the same thought. Definitely a compliment. ;-)
Why does Paddy look and sound so pissed? Just asking.
What Paddy said about comments about his partner, yeah that was an issue I wasn't comfortable with on Thaiger actually -- the fans who'd write in comments talking about how beautiful whoever is, I think unaware that they're verging on catcalling construction workers. Jay might be there talking about some serious issue, but all the live comments are about how gorgeous the female presenter is in that blouse or whatever. That crap makes me wanna stop watching. If guys did that at their jobs, they wouldn't last there long.
Jay you said that you have no problem pronouncing Thai words, well I've heard you trying to speak Thai and often your pronunciation is way off.
Talking in 3rd person mate ????
Wow
Several of them do. While I hope it's done with a sense of irony, I actually have my doubts as there is a belief that they are developing a brand - all have their heads filled with the same youtube sales pitch. It's funny to watch as most of the youtubers all follow the same thought leaders, have the same approach, levels of self awareness, ability to accept even the slightest critique and go down the same path...
