#PaddyDoyle #Thailand #KohSamui
Paddy, you have brought this 68 yr old grandma from Pennsylvania along with you on all your journeys beginning with The Budgeteers. I have enjoyed each and every one of them and have fallen in love with Thailand through you. You are a ray of sunshine in these dark times. Thanks for sharing your feelings with all of us---it's not all rainbows and sunshine all the time, but the sun does break through the clouds eventually. Keep doing what you do and God keep you safe always!
You are amazing x what a lovely uplifting and healing comment x thank you xx
True. I feel the same. Wish I could have coffee with Paddy!
This is awesome 👏
Here here, what she said....
Hi lovely Theresa, after reading your comment
I stopped looking for the second best one.
You found the right words to support Paddy.
Thanks 🙏 a lot for letting me join you.
Paddy ...when you read these negative comments, just think about the 1000's you make happy and make smile 🙂 we'll all stand by you mate
ITA.
Yes I agree 100%! You keep the dream alive until I can come back again. And atm your in my happy place, this beautiful island. If it's possible, I will go through all the hoops to get back to Samui in November 🌴
Absolutely.
Thank you for saying this! You saved me from admonishing Paddy for giving attention to loosers and frustrated people that come to unload their miserable lives into the comment sections of TH-cam videos. Although, going home to get vaccinated and see family once again, wouldn't a terrible idea. My family and I did that as soon as we were fully vaccinated and I'm thankful for having to privilege of getting to see love ones again!
Well said. I always love your content, Paddy.
I think I speak for a lot of people when I say that we watch you because you are genuine, not because you’re positive. The positivity is appreciated, but the honesty and vulnerability even more so. ❤️ Don’t worry about keeping it positive for us. Just keep doing what you do best. We’ll stick around.
I totally agree Melissa! I am binging on Patty cause he is sincere and so open about what is going on with him. Thanks Patty! Keep keeping it real.
Hi Paddy, I stumbled across your videos totally by accident just over a week ago. I am hooked on them because you are so real. You show us amazing places that I could never afford to go see. I feel like I’m right there with you. Love it. Had to subscribe!
Don’t listen to all the negative comments…some people have to complain because they are so miserable with their own life and are jealous of yours.
Keep doing what your doing and being true to yourself. I think it’s safe to say that the majority of your followers love you, just the way you are, as do I. Keep on, keeping on, Paddy Doyle.
Thanks for being you. (Human).💕💕💕😘
There is a Thai proverb saying *Khon Nai Yaak Awk, Khon Nawk Yaak Khao* literally meaning *An insider wants out, an outsider wants in*
Depression is everywhere, people just need an escape. But no matter where you run away to, depression is still there. It's in your mind, not from outside.
Hi Paddy. I’m a nurse in California who lost her mom to Covid. Your videos are a nice distraction for me. I sometimes repeat episodes as I fall asleep to stop the monkey mind from preventing me from getting rest. I think it’s natural we are all sensing an increase in anxiety these days as numbers are climbing back up. I appreciate you sharing your thoughts with us & I hope your feeling better. Good job coping in a healthy way (exercise & no booze).
@@pannachawangkul585 thank you for your kind words. Interesting, I think you are talking about 👽 😱
God bless you Jessica
Sorry for your loss. Thank you for the input on this video
paddy dont feel like youre the problem, youre supporting all these local businesses, promoting thailand, without you each business you visit would be struggling even more
You're a positive person who needs to be told this: you're making my life interesting on TH-cam! We are all living in unprecedented times, and it's your amazing content which makes a negative a positive. Don't give up because idiots put you down. Kick them out and move on. You have a huge following, and we appreciate your time and effort. See you in Phnom Penh one-day... ❤️❤️🙏👍
Hey Paddy, I live in Melbourne Australia and we are constantly in and out of lock downs due to Covid. Watching your videos is an escape for me as I miss traveling to Thailand and want to see so much more of it! You humour and outlook on life is another positive! I am working longer hours as I work for Woolworths and your videos are an escape for me after a 12hr day at work! Stay positive and keep up the good work, whether it be travel or just more personal like this video, I enjoy watching it all!
I’ve been a full time TH-camr for 3 years and it can be a rollercoaster ride. You’re a good dude with good content, don’t let the negativity get to you.
Paddy, you know what to do! The entire planet currently is f***ed! If I had the opportunity to choose anywhere to ride it out - which is what we are all doing - I would choose Samui - especially if surrounded by friends and a special woman! Don't stress - your creativity will bounce back!
When times are bad, seize the moment. I cant get to thailand soon enough to live, rents are 30%+ down
If only 1 person in the socialising group catches the virus then they could all be infected. Paddy should just mingle with his Samui gf till he is vaccinated and his friends as a trip to a Thai hospital can be expensive etc etc
@@smokefromsevenorifices8782 big deal even if they catch virus
Just turned 80 recently and I can tell you negative comments come from very negative people! Your videos have accelerated our plans to move my digital business to Chiang Mai and spend our twilight years with friendly people in Thailand! Please keep on making my day happy as only a REAL PERSON can!!!
When the first wave of Covid hit, the US government told me to go home. I didn’t listen. Best decision I ever made. Do you want to feel like you belong here? When they struggle, you struggle with them. If you bail when things get hard, your just a tourist. There is a lot of good things that can be done during this time. You just have to open your mind beyond yourself and your channel and in the process you will improve both.
Paddy, I’ve been watching from the beginning and you’ve helped me out no end in these difficult times. Hang in there and keep going.......Keep doing what you've been doing .. We need your energy and stay positive!
Empty vessels make the most noise Paddy. Trust me, England is wayy more depressing than Thailand right now. We're having a typical wash out gray summer. Enjoy the sun lad!
Couldn't have said it better we all want to get out, just sit in the sun and go swimming ffs
not in spain
Tough times don't last. Tough people do
Aww Paddy; I love your videos, and your genuineness. Tell your friends about your anxiety; this is the perfect time and place to be working through stuff. I for one feel honoured to be a part of your journey- physically and spiritually. You're amazing!
Paddy, my husband and I are so happy that you've found someone to share your time. ♡
Maybe a 3 month break in England would be ok since by October “things” will be better in Thailand. But being stranded on an island isn’t that horrible.
i am afraid october as an opening date for thailand is not realistic...
@@evabruchhaus6741 At least another 12-18 months before there is even a light at the end of the tunnel.
Keep busy and don’t over think it - just be yourself - stay safe - 😎👌🙏👍
Hi Paddy, one idea that may help you with your current anxiety issues - How about volunteering to help the less fortunate in your area with their basic needs? I have seen quite a few recent videos of bloggers giving food and other necessities to the Thais who have lost their jobs and homes due to the lack of tourists and constant lockdowns. Studies have shown that volunteering makes you feel healthier, happier, and triggers the reward pathway in the brain known as the mesolimbic system. It releases “feel-good” neurotransmitters such as oxytocin and vasopressin.
It's always best to share when you are feeling like this, we are all here for you, thanks for sharing that with us, we will get through these tough times and always look forward to seeing you whatever you are doing, just another chapter Paddy, keep enjoying the ride x
"No storm lasts forever" remember Paddy all will be great:))))
Paddy the great thing about having your own TH-cam channel is it’s yours to do with what ever you want. If these haters don’t like it they can go bother someone else. Thanks 🙏 for sharing your feelings with us your loyal fans. We ❤️ you for who you are not for what you produce.
Well said! and what a great use of the EMOJI's
TRUE WISDOM!!
Paddy, stay strong brother, I’ve been watching from the beginning and you’ve helped me out no end in these difficult times. Hang in there and keep going.
I started watching you because my husband did. I'm hooked on watching your adventure and love all the videos whether it be a dreamy day or a Paddy personal day..all this to say I think myself and most of us will watch you happily wherever you may end up for a minute!
Paddy. Everyone has their own COVID stories, thanks for sharing yours. For what it’s worth, your videos have been useful to me, reminding me there is life beyond my dreary four walls in wet Brussels. Keep the chin up and keep producing content from afar Sunny lands
Well hello Brussels! Linda from Arizona the US, in the throes of summer heat with an average 115!!! I’ll make you a deal, I’ll send you our Sun, if you can send us some RAIN! 😝😝😝 but it’s a DRY heat lol. Nope, we get summer rains called the monsoon so it’s humid now added to the heat! Wah can I have some cheese with my WHINE 😳😝❤️ here’s to my brothers and sisters in gratitude Love and respect hoping you’re safer, and well!🙏🏻❤️
@@pannachawangkul585 Belgium has got rain, floods and deaths. What a strange beast climate change is....
We love you Paddy ❤️ Let's enjoy our time here in Koh Samui together before we all go off on our own adventures again.
My husband and I looovve you guys! We watch your videos daily! Watching you at the moment with your friends at the street foid market!
We love Thailand. I love Floras laugh. She is so cute! Keep it up!
Love from South Africa🇿🇦🇿🇦♥️
Please stay and keep making whatever content makes you happy. We need you Paddy!
Thank you for opening up and stay safe, Paddy! That’s the most important thing atm. All your videos are inspiring and I always look forward to them. Don’t worry about the bad comments, you’re awesome! Thank you for being you. Its as simple as that.
Love you, brother! I'm always here for ya. Stay good!
Hey Paddy, life ain’t so bad! If you REALLY want to be depressed look at Mickey Stotch who is stuck in Phang Nga and really fed up! Think of the positives, you managed to get to a lovely island, you are holed up in a nice condominium, you have a bunch of friends, and you have a woman by your side. Things could be worse!
Mate just keep what your doing. I used to live there for 6 years and loved it.
You don’t know how many people appreciate what you do in this crazy world. I live in Perth, Western Australia and so far, live a privileged life COVID-wise, but that is not a caveat for the future - what everyone needs is PMT - Positive Mental Attitude - please keep doing what you are doing🙏
I have been watching your videos since you where getting on the train and leaving Chiang Mai.
I have enjoyed each and everyone of them. Great content on a great journey. There will ALWAYS be
negative people, take no notice of them, there is way more people who support you.
Keep up the great work.
I’ve been loving your content, plus Koh Samui is one of my favourite getaway spots. Sitting in locked down Sydney your content has been a nice bit of escapism. Trolls are sad angry people, don’t plan your life around them. You do you! Plenty of us are loving who you are and what you’re doing.
We're always behind you in whatever you do, Paddy. You will always have our support. Just do whatever is best for yourself and everything will straighten itself out.
Paddy,we've watched you from the start off your amazing journey and will continue to follow your journey,whatever it holds.Stay strong,your a better person than those that try to put you down.You'll get there and make your dreams happen,don't give up.
Keep doing what you've been doing Paddy! We need your energy and positive!
Keep doing what you’re doing. You’re doing a great job and making me want to retire there. I look forward to the day I can retire and maybe buy you a drink. F those negative people.
Hey Paddy, thanx for sharing your thoughts and feelings - i also just wanted to mention that i love following your time in koh samui and love seeing you interact with your buddies. As i have been following your adventures on budgeteers and then went over to next level adventures i get how lonely it gets from time to time. Take you time stay safe 1000’s of us will still support and follow your journey 👍🏽 cheers 🍻 buddy .. lots of love Sean
Be strong…
This time is a text of courage for all of us and at least you’re spending it in paradise.
We all appreciate what your doing and your content, allowing us to travel through your blogs in a place we’re all dying to be in and travel through
We love you Paddy!! Thank you for being you and for all the joy that you bring to this world ❤ I for one am so grateful for your positivity and your authenticity! Much love to you always! Cheers 🙏❤
Love this Paddy, appreciate the honesty …always.
I totally get where you're coming from, Paddy. Regarding the negative comments, I wonder what those people are doing to help Thais. Nothing. You are doing more for the country by showing the real Thailand than any of those detractors. Since the negative comments are affecting you, I recommend that you don't read them. I understand that you need to monitor your comments, but as soon as you identify negativity, just quarantine it and take whatever action is necessary with it without absorbing it. Could you get someone else to monitor and manage the negative comments for you?
I also think it's important to listen to these messages from your subconcious--the dreams, feelings, and anxieties. This is your intuition talking to you and I'm glad you listen to it and share it with us. Your soul is talking to you and you are listening and responding. Good on you.
Regarding the vaccines, I can speak from personal experience that being fully vaccinated with the Moderna vaccine since late May has given me a tremendous sense of relief and allowed me to return to a mostly normal life, including my fulfilling career that involves frequent travel in the US. Here in the States, there are only 3 - 4 weeks between doses of Pfizer or Moderna, so the whole process from first shot to full vaccination is only 5 - 6 weeks. Not sure if the protocols are different in the UK, but if you want to crash at my place in Poulsbo, WA while you get your shots, you're welcome! COVID is not to be trifled with even for relatively young people and I would encourage you to get vaccinated ASAP, even if it means a trip back home.
I actually really like and appreciate these personal videos about your journey. As someone who traveled for 14 months in 2015 - 2016 and thought about starting a TH-cam channel about family travel then (God, how I wish I had), I can relate. I hope to do it in the future. So I really appreciate you sharing the whole process. This one was particularly honest and complete. You like to keep your content light and positive, but one of the things I like about you is that you're not shallow. I can't stand watching Lost LeBlanc because it's all so perfect and fake. He rarely shows any vulnerability and it just feels smug and entitled to me.
Anyway, sorry for the long comment, Paddy. Your video just really engaged me and I had a lot of reactions. Don't let the haters get you down. You have a growing army of loyal fans and supporters and we're behind you all the way. Keep going no matter where it leads. You are awesome.
Wow Eric... Thank you ❣️
Great wisdom!!
It would be great if you could swap the task of reviewing the comments with another content creator - great idea Eric we were thinking exactly the same - Keep going Paddy and feel the love that everyone is showing you here. Any time you have a wobble just come and read the heartfelt comments on this video.
Sending some positive energy Paddy... great that you can open up and share your concerns which we are all feeling during this time. Keep making the content that you enjoy making and we'll keep watching it... stay safe and take care
Thank you opening up & sharing your heart and mind with us. Those who are on board with your positive boat will hang in there with you and support you, plus keep enjoying your contents.
Paddy - You continue to put out great content even though Covid keeps taking away your options. It takes a special skill to do that. We thank you for not giving up! We subscribers are so lucky to have you!
Hi Paddy, we love seeing your videos, as we are not allowed at the moment to leave Australia and return to beautiful Thailand. Keep them coming and try to stay positive during these very trying times across the world. regards Diane and Denis from Victoria, the land down under.
Thank You for sharing your feelings. We are always behind you and support you no matter what . We are going through to this all together it’s the entire planet so we have to support and help each other and together we will get through this . Keep up the fantastic channel and we look forward to your journey.
Hey Paddy, I have seen your channel grow due to your positivity brother. You are right, the moment you put on the news, you always hear horrible things. Your content is like a breath of fresh air in these dark clouded times. So, keep up the great work and just be yourself. Love and blessings from India.
Hey Patty… maybe some ideas for content while you’re stationary: cost of living in different areas you have traveled in Thailand, how you plan your trips/apps that you use, exercise routine while on the road. Patty you’re doing so well, don’t worry about the hatters.
Vid suggestion: Take the entire Samui cast of Friends (lol;) and visit "Ying's Thai Cooking Home". She's an absolute delight and has an authentic Thai food cookery in her lovely Thai home + YT channel which deserves a boost. Spend the day making curries etc, learning about origins and enjoying delicious Thai food. A sure vid hit too. Cheers! STL
YES !!!!!
I have just subscribed to her channel.
I saw ur vid SideTrip !
She is FANTASTIC!!!!
I agree get the “Samui Cast” there.
Would be a hoot 🦉!!!!
Do a cooking school episode with her.
Awesome 👏🏻
Yes, I fully support that great idea! Ying and her husband have a very nice place and a fantastic garden. Following her, thanks to @SideTripLife, and she really deserves a boost for her work too. She really creates some authentic, amazing Thai Food, we all love so much! The Samui crew at Yings place would be a great episode, for sure! She has an amazing humor and just the perfect light mindset we need in these times, so why not, @Paddy Doyle?! Thumbs up, and can’t wait for the release today! 😊
Paddy!! You da man! Thank you so much for sharing a piece of your heart with thousands of people almost daily. Takes a special person with a special heart to be able to portray the world through your eyes in the manner which you do. Please keep doing what you're doing and as a teacher you know that it's not about the destination it's the journey. This is your journey and you are walking tall. Thank you for everything.
Thank you Paddy for all of your great energy and positive attitude, your videos transport me back to 2018 when I visited Thailand with a group of friends. Thank your for reminding me all of the great things Thailand has to offer and keep up this great work.
Paddy, my favorite part today was the story of your GF. I have a Thai girl in my life in the US and it is so nice to have the company and yet the freedom to go and do the things I need to do and enjoy and not have any pressure. We’ll be living in Thailand part time hopefully when things open up. Keep up the good work and hang in there.
Paddy your videos are interesting, fun laughing, I’m great full of the videos I’ve watched from you, we stand with you whatever you do 🤝
I'm new and I'm sticking around! My hubby and I plan to visit Thailand and you inspire us. You make us laugh...its not just the adventure...its you we love!! You got this!💕
been a long time follower of yours since season1 of the budgeteers, love your videos and your positivity and hope you will continue to create more content of thailand and its beautiful culture and people! keep it up my dude! 💪🏻
During this negative and hard times, we need a little positive paddy to cheer us up. I appreciate your videos during lockdown…it reminds me that there’s still some beauty out there waiting after this is all over. My wife laughed at me for marathon watching your videos during lockdown. So thank you Paddy.
Paddy. I am behind you 100%. Having a Thai wife and lived in Thailand, “Mai Pen Rai” helps me stay grounded (jai yen). Your videos have brightened my life seeing my favorite place on earth while not being able to physically be there. I can totally understand your anxiety and, it’s okay. Thanks for your vulnerability and honesty and know there are thousands of people pulling for you. Please stay safe and healthy and keep up your incredible journey wherever it leads. Looking forward to what you have in store for us.
I am planning a trip yo Thailand and your chanel has been the source of my planning so far. Inlove the natural, casual approach you have and would never ever exchange it to something heavily edited. Thanks Paddy and good luck - I think you are doing perfect with all ups and downs!
Paddy, keep going mate, your videos are excellent, positive and inspiring. My wife and I have bought your book and hopefully we will be coming over next year to explore some of the sites you have shared with us. Thanks so much for all you do. !!
Paddy, I’m in shock that you're considering going back to the UK, but you are unhappy and unable to work towards your goals, It's a difficult reason to go over. You may return to the UK to relax at home. Then make a good video about the UK and then come back to Thailand again in the future. if you still miss this country and still love this country, we are always waiting for you.
Paddy,
What defines our character as people is how we deal with adversity. Chin up and work thru it. Peace.
Love this video as it is the real life with real problems we all struggle with. Keep doing you and see every time you feel uncomfortbale as a confirmation that you reached a new level in life with new devils who are challinging you! You got this!
Cheers mate! Just discovered your channel this week and it's been a great travel.
congrats on the lady friend, if she makes you happy you're a very lucky man. All the best, enjoy your success, friends and adventure.
We will walys be here for you buddy! Sure these though times happen, but remember, they will pass soon and you'll be back breaking dreamy every day again!
Fuck yeah!♥️
Whatever you do for your videos, I'm still gonna be watching them. Even if you go back to the UK and create content there for 3 months.
Good to know ☺️
Thanks for sharing, Paddy. Loved the video and love your channel. The pandemic has made me re-think my journey as well and I just have a 9-to-5 job in Chicago. I'm sure there are millions of people like us going through the same thing. I guess that's what happens when you have lots of extra time to contemplate life. I'm looking forward to sunshine on the other side.
With you all the way Paddy, love your channel, your energy and all your content. As a disabled man from the uk that finds it difficult to travel I'm living my dreams through you, and I'll continue to do so as I believe no matter what you do it'll be great. Thanx for showing us parts of the world and its people i may never get to see. 😀👍🏽
Paddy, why don't you collaborate with the other TH-camrs on Samui to raise some money to help local people. I think amongst you all you could make a big difference. Good luck and stay safe.
Ignore the haters paddy one of the signs that you have made it in life is having haters. Just keep in your mind that no matter what you do you can't please everyone and nor should you have to. I have loved every minute of your journey and you make me feel that I am there with you. You full me with hope that one day me and my husband will be there too.
Thanks you for being raw and real with your content. And I actually love your friend and I really happy to know that you have connected with like minded people. But mostly I happy to know that you have a personal relationship going . I love your channel and your sharing your experience. . People will always ways have something to say. Especially when they are doing nothing .
Paddy thank you for bringing your positive energy into our day when we’re in lockdown. We love your work 🙌😎
The positive outweigh the negative. Take a deep breath and carry on following your heart. Thanks for sharing the personal stuff 👏
I’ve really enjoyed your upbeat personality while touring around Thailand and while you’re based in Samui. Keep up the positive attitude and go with the flow.
We love you Paddy. Keep doing what you’re doing, your videos keep us sane and we are SO excited every time a new one comes out. We make it our happy hour time!
Thank you for sharing. What you said resonates with me. You got this!
Would love to see Koh Tao and Koh Phangan as we want to go there next. Cath and Kevs x
Coming Soon ☺️
Me too!
I’m actually sitting here naked, a beer gut, I’m in lockdown & haven’t had a haircut or shave for months, still want to imagine you’re talking to me?
I am fairly new to your channel and I am enjoying the videos very much, you are honest, entertaining, funny, kind and humble. You have allowed me to experience life in Thailand that I had no idea even existed. So thank you for taking the time to make these videos. Keep them going for as long as you feel passionate about making them, when you no longer enjoy it try something or somewhere else.
So Personal & loving...thanks for SHARING with us "ALL". You as a younger gent are an INSPIRATION to us all. Thanks Paddy...
Thanks for sharing your personal feelings and thoughts. It's not easy to share vulnerability on camera to a bunch of strangers. Some difficult decisions for you to make. I support whatever you feel is best in your situation. Your health and safety are top priority.
Thanks! Karen! means a lot!
Paddy, I understand your doubts and how you feel. And I am happy you found someone to share your life with right now. Just do what feels good for yourself. I will keep watching your videos even when they are made in the UK. Stay healthy and safe 👍🏻
Hello Paddy. I have been following your channel since you left Chiang Mai. Your content hast always been uplifting to me and your videos bring much joy into my life. Thank you so much for enriching my life. A very great thumbs up for telling us as it is and sharing your feelings with us, the community. I truly understand your short moments of anxiety and your concerns about the channel and your personal life. We all have some ups and downs in our lives. You're just trying to do the best of the current situation and it's not easy I understand. I'm very positive your creativity will naturally come back. That was only a one day feeling and tomorrow will be different. So I'm looking forward for the sayling trip with your friend and all your future to come adventures. Very best wishes, good luck to you 🍀 and keep up your positive attitude. 👍
Paddy you make great content, and the content you make is real. That’s your key to success. Keep your chin up and stay positive for all of us who wish we could be there with you in Thailand right now.
Chill out Paddy you're doing a great job, channel may dip a little as it has for many during this time, but it will pass... Full support whatever you decide. One Love
hey Paddy. Thanks to share... take your break, enjoy friends and your privat relation till you can move on with dreamy..
Paddy everyday I jump on TH-cam to watch your videos, it’s a huge highlight in my day when I see you’ve uploaded new videos. It’s not about travelling around to new places it’s all you mate, you make my day lighter with your funny positive approach to most situations. Keep doing what you do, ignore the haters, the keyboard warriors are not worth worrying about and the good ones have your back! 🍻💙🙏🇦🇺
Yeah!!!!! Same ideas here! Now we can not travel to there! At least we have someone who keeps the Thai spirit alive!!!!! Can you imagine, it is soon 4 years ago that my super Thai wife saw her family, also due to this covid-thing ofcourse and I consider this as harder then being stuck on your small island! (I mean good)!!!! Whatever you do, Paddy! You always make my day!!!!!!! Respect, mate! Regards from Belgium! Andy & Chutinan!
Paddy we love your channel. Pls continue the great work and show us more of Thailand! 🥰 stay positive! We love to hear your laughters!
I just wanted to thank you for showing Thailand and your travels. Like many, many people on here I've been able to live vicariously through your camera lens, and have enjoyed it so much. I wish you the best in whatever decision you make, as only you can decide what is best for you. At any rate I'm certain most of us will support your decision....
You are having survivor’s guilt, channel that guilty to a sense of responsibility. Thailand like every country has its bright side but also its dark side. Right now, the dark side is in full control. Just present things as they are, no need to sugarcoat everything. Also your nightmare about creating content and getting arrested, it is other people’s reality.
survivor guilt is an interesting concept. But I’m too lazy right now to create a definition for it. How hard is it for people to be more eloquent with their postings, am I reaching for the stars.
You're lucky to be stuck on Koh Samui, even during this new outbreak. Just enjoy it! Don't go home. We're stuck in Bangkok where everything, literally everything, is shut down. I feel the same about lacking inspiration because all of the exciting places I normally go in Bangkok are not as exciting right now. Even if I go to an interesting or historic area, everything is closed. Also, people I know in Pattaya area don't even have a place to stay, or food, so I'm trying to help out a bit financially. But... for you, I think it's okay to stay where you are, vlog about Koh Samui, which is a wonderful place, stay positive, and just continue make your videos. Enjoy it and continue what you're doing.
Your videos are really refreshing. I can feel your pure love and appreciation for my favorite part of the world and people, who live there. And that is exactly what makes you different. You are not just a reporter, your creativity comes from your heart. Paddy, if everything would be only bright, it would mean that something is really wrong. Remember, combination of bright and dark create a balance. You can never please everybody, no matter what you do. Love and light.
Thanks for sharing your journey and your struggles. We love your videos, stay positive and remember there are more people who love your videos than not, and don't let the haters get you down. In life there are always people who hate seeing people being positive.
I subscribed this channel in order to be part of a journey, including the ups and downs, the fun things but also the challenges you have to go through. So keep doing what you like and share what you want - the authenticity is what make me watching your videos, all of them.
Thanks,
Ronen
My wife and I spent 1.5 years in lock down in the UK, which was pretty miserable, especially through the winter. Every day there was nothing other than covid news. I was working and making money as I can work from home remote, but that was not enough to keep us happy. We bit the bullet and made the decision to return to Thailand, went through the 2 week hotel quarantine, and now we are back in our up country house near Khon Kaen. The village is in lock down, but we are much happier back here. What the future holds we don't know, but we are happy and close to my wifes family, who are great, and in the great scheme of things we are in a good place. I know this is not for everyone, but it works for us. So what am I saying: do what makes you happy; returning to the UK probably won't make you happy. My take on covid: every country is going to get covid bad; its just a matter of timing. The big thing I notice about covid in Thailand: the government don't care about most of the population; they are not providing the help that the UK gave for its citizens; vaccines are a bit thin on the ground and you will get the ineffective Chinese ones.
The British actually put up with 1 1/2 years of lockdown. Who the hell does that? For a virus with a 99.8% survival rate. Insanity, and most of the world is accepting it.
@@haroldharrison2733 i guess that if you're not kin to one of the 4 million people who died of covid or the tens of thousands who spend months on a respirator, it may seem like madness to you. I would say brief periods of half measures that are ended prematurely, that lead to more cases and more unserious lockdowns (which is actually what the UK situation is) is what madness actually looks like.
@@CripplingDuality Get back to me in a couple of years when Thailand's economy has collapsed, tens of thousands have committed suicide due to losing everything, millions more are homeless AND THIS VIRUS STILL KILLS FEWER THAN 0.2% OF PEOPLE THAT CONTRACT IT. The panic from fools glued to the news over this virus is palpable.
@@haroldharrison2733 because it's all planned
