Paddy, you are so priviledge to have this once a life time experience in this villa, more so during this Covid time. Surely, the sweet memories will stay on with you forever. So now you can say that life is very 2 good. 🙏
You and your girl! Good for you lol. I have watched the other creators videos and although I liked them all for all their different ways of delivering content, I have to say I enjoyed your version as one of the two top ones. Thanks for the positive content! Keep it going. Much love.
You certainly deserved your break at Moonstone! Your initiative to promote the place via your network friends was genius. Take care, Paddy - we’re all pulling for you.
Exactly. If advertising was more like the way Paddy approached it, I might actually watch an ad. With TH-cam premium, I go out of my way to avoid ads like the plague.
Can I just request, more people please. I mean luxury accommodation is nice but not actually that interesting. Would love to see more footage of you interacting with friends or staff. Sorry for any negativity, genuinely a big fan
@@domi9577 I have no issue with Paddy doing this.... His youtube channel was going so well and the pandemic has changed things so drastically - I can't imagine the psychological impact!... I love Chris's channel also - the pay it forwards especially....but owning this extreme luxury place whilst there are so many with so little on the island suggests maybe the respect is misplaced....
@@johnv5156 I disagree - whilst a 'free market' can open up doorways for trade which is lucrative for some, for the majority in a place like Thailand where the wealth gap is already one of the worst in the world, it just exacerbates the issue...
This game is called Shuffleboard! The sand you are talking about is wax which helps the stones slide more easily along the board. The more wax on the surface, the faster the stones will slide along the surface. I think it was developed following the game of curling which is done on ice.
Don't know how I missed this video earlier. I'm also a fan of Chris's and think I've seen Moonstone on one of his videos. What a gorgeous place! My accommodation when I visit Koh Samui in about 6 weeks will be somewhat more modest but I'll definitely put Moonstone on my "when I win the lottery " list.
The only Video of yours that I have fast forwarded through & been disappointed in. Not remotely interested in such places. You did your best, but not my style. Could be anywhere in the World. Not in any way Thai. But looks like you and your friends had a good time.
Wow that is a beautiful resort , love the view and the pool over look the ocean, the view it’s stunning , the beach area is nice and private, it’s like a dream 😍
Great video, I has been wondering about this place since I watched Chris video but your content nailed it for me, next time when I’m in Thailand, will definitely take a trip to Kohsamui just to stay in this place, this is an amazing place.
Im planing a trip next year to Thailand and been watching lots of your videos about Thailand. This is a nice resort. But i was wondering is how much a night would it cost?
Lol I thought that cris Canadian guy was struggling trying to put a few bucks together with a TH-cam Chanel showing people how cheap you can go in Thailand,now I find out he’s a rich dude lol
14,750 quid . Wow those tubers are racking it in and have a great life at the same time . Haven’t stepped foot outside my house for two months because of Covid in Vietnam 🇻🇳
Hi Paddy, We just purchased your ebook. Stay safe and happy. We are enjoying your videos. Never mind the stall in your journey. Just make the most of Samui.
@@evansmusic2009 Its 6 rooms of pure luxury, including staff, and amenities. It’s actually a bargain if you consider everything, and go with 5 other couples.
@@pgsanta yes cheap if there are actually 6 couples out there willing to rent it Unfortunately there is no one there to rent it, no one coming over to rent it and even the tourists over there currently having a mass exodus. So much so that even Chris himself left and even I will be leaving soon enough due to lockdowns, curfews and most places being shut permanently! It really is a sad state of affairs here right now
In the US, we call that game shuffle board. My dad used play in tournaments in the bars around Springfield, IL when I was a kid. On his weekends he took me with him. Great part of being a child in the 80s. No one really cared if you took your kid with you to the tavern. LOL
The intro showed several properties that all looked identical. Is Moonstone a complex of several villas which are all the same, or is it just the one property that you showed us?
@@ianmcnamee1652 At least it sheds some light on the fact that Chris has played some of his cards better than me.. Still have a few years to catch up though...
Lovely video to watch. I don't wish to add a critical note, but I think a little apology to Chris for mentioning about Chris's future plans, when it was under wraps at the time, wouldn't go amiss, methinks.
Hiya Paddy, firstly Congratulations on hitting 35K. Well deserved. What a beautiful place to stay. Maximum chillout. I bet you all had a wonderful time. Just what you need. You are living your best life. Great video. Always enjoyable content. Thank you for sharing. Have a great week. Take care.
Great video! 👍 That place looks awesome. I could stay there for a month and never leave the resort I would love it. You look great, so refreshed and well rested.
Incredibly luxurious!! So glad to see you guys enjoy yourselves and appreciate the great company you find in each other! Everyone looks so happy and in bliss! You too, Paddy! What a life!! Thank you for sharing this with us. Your videos have continued to make this period we are going through much more bearable! Pink really does bring out the colour in your eyes! 🤣😜
Hey Paddy. I love your older videos of you travelling on a budget and seeing the real Thailand interacting with locals. This is constructive criticism, not trolling mate; it just seems out of step with what's going on in Thailand right now and this doesn't seem like you.
Yes, changed. No kidding. Paddy certainly can't interact the same way, with the lockdown right now. Watch the video previous to this where he explains what he is planning AFTER this video..!
@@supersonicsid5930 yep just gonna turn into those youtubers that just advertise lovely but expensive places to stay, yawn........, the budgeteers show was great coz it showed how you could do things on a budget. the channel is turning into a snoozefest
He got a free stay and gave the place a plug which they probably needed with the tourist figures. We are in full lockdown at the moment and he can’t scoot around as before. This wasn’t a show off video and as he said it was a win win. Getting $20 night rooms scooting around on a motorbike in Thailand has its moments and tiring.
Paddy - the name of the game is table hockey and yes, it is a Canadian game. The owner of the place must be a Maple Leaf fan, because the sweaters on the wall are the top players for the Leaf’s in Toronto my Home town.
I'm glad to see you making the most of your circumstances that are keeping you from traveling Thailand as you were. I more than connect with your anxieties and trying to be a people pleaser at the cost of your own well being...until it becomes impossible to ignore any longer (which you discuss in another video). I did not expect that. That aside, good video. I feel I've seen this a few times before with 2P1D and F&N (great people!) but you have a way of really selling the experience effortlessly. Keep being amazing and doing your thing and enjoy those friends! Can't wait to see what you do next. Thanks for being you and inspiring myself and my partner in making our channel. We just started BUT you were a huge influence on making it happen so I;ll forever gives thanks!
Hey Paddy, love the content both you and Chris consistently put out, but this just felt like a big freebie giveaway, lets hawk a property "on the arm", advertisement.
Let the dude enjoy some luxury man. You're not gonna say no to a chance to stay there are you haha If you don't like a video or two just scroll past it
@@TomBedlammusic I would not turn down an invite from a friend, but to hawk a property for a free stay, yes I would. I've worked 25+ years in advertising, so from my point of view it was less than ethical. Second, I wouldn't know if I like a video or not until I watch & evaluate it. Again, I love his vids for the most part, but I'm not going to simp for him if I don't like a video.
@@mikev1144 I meant when you're watching it. If you don't like it, scroll on to the next one. Also if you've worked in advertising for 25 years and don't like someone getting to enjoy something in return for advertising it... I don't know what to tell you bud. You're not gonna like travel channels
Totally agreed. I’m disappointed with this VDO😕 I’ve seen some influencers act this way, seeking freebies for their own personal gain. Kinda modern beggar and I don’t particularly appreciate that. Why spend almost 5 minutes beating around the bush rather than say “ yeah , I stayed for free as a return for advertising 🙄” I couldn’t believe PD would actually be like one of them ! I prefer to watch genuine and honest lifestyle adventures.
Fantastic digs! Beats my $8 Phangan beachfront bungalow (cheap but cheerful mind you:) Moonstone however really is next level special. Great vlog again, well done!
To be fair, even the owner of Moonstone only stays there once in a while, spending most of his time exploring Thailand. And hey, as much as I love a cheap n cheerful budget beach place, a lux villa once in a while wouldn't be so bad lol
Lol had to stop vid to respond and add stuff later. All thru the US two types of ‘shuffleboard’; the one you’re playing with USUALLY has sawdust on the top and the wood is highly varnished and smooth for ease of movement. I cringed a bit as an wood lover seeing SAND😳 yet couldn’t ‘reckon’ what’s done to the wood. The second type is usually outside on a court made of smoothed concrete, with a triangular batch of numbers painted onto the surface. Each number is a score. You push pucks with a Poseidon type trident kinda bent to accommodate the pucks and they’re long handled so gotta use a little oomph to get a score. 2of the biggest retirement states is Florida, and Arizona. I’m in Az. 😁 havin cocktail visiting with friends talkin smack competing who has the right touch…buncha old farts an grandkids nieces etc FUN. Lol
A good vlog, but you've blatantly broken the promise you made a few weeks ago about not staying at accommodation for free in exchange for raving about it :(
Honestly, I felt you have sold out. Leveraging your TH-cam status, and that of others, to get something for free. I feel that you have gone from you and your bike traveling on a budget to using your status for a freebie.
They are all FRIENDS. A friend can help another friend, or share with another friend (or group of buddies) and it's not leveraging. It's called "hey, that's a good idea, might as well use that villa instead of letting it rot during a global pandemic" Wisdom is knowing how valuable your assets are, and then being willing to share them with your buddies rather than hoarding them for yourself. Friendship rocks.
@@beverlyweber4122 he said that, after his meal there he had the idea to pitch the idea that a group of influencers get a free stay. I don't blame him, he has just gone from traveler to influencer.
@@Batters2000 Great idea! And yeah, they are friends. Regardless. Dreamy was wearing that sticker for a bit and Paddy was wearing that shirt, for a bit. And it was brilliant! Combine efforts, hang out for a bit (stuck on an island, very depressing watching the $hitshow in all the other provinces)...brilliant idea. We know Paddy is an influencer now (duh!) after he got proposals from all those companies a few months back. Funny how that happens. One day, teaching school kids in Chiang Mai, Next day, just riding along filming cool stuff. Before you know it... inbox flooding with offers. We call that "The American Dream", although Paddy is a Brit. Work hard and boom...it all just happens, with a bit of skill and a little help from my friends (hearing that Beatles tune!)
love the videos taking a shitty shitty situation and making it work been watching since the start love it and cant wait to get out and do some travelling myself keep up the good work!!!
Paddy, you are so priviledge to have this once a life time experience in this villa, more so during this Covid time. Surely, the sweet memories will stay on with you forever. So now you can say that life is very 2 good. 🙏
Table shuffleboard! Which I assume I'm amazing at since I score fairly well when I'm three sheets to the wind.
LOL
A Flora and Note repeat
One in a life time opportunity. Great house tour! Any vlog you do, you always do a great job at it! Have a wonderful day Paddy!
