Which month was this filmed?
The most incredible thing about the magic garden is, that it was all built by one man. A farmer, who started to build it in 1976, at the age of 77! Crazy
Wow!! That’s interesting. It’s never too late to start something beautiful...
Koh Samui is absolutely beautiful, we stayed at the Bandara for 3 weeks, my husband had passed away and I couldn’t face a New Years Eve without him after 28yrs, we flew out on the 1/1/17, I took my 3 children and it was absolutely stunning, We explored the island while eating at little old ladies small shacks, I we had the best tasting food we had ever tasted, the best part was when we went to the street food market’s, we bought everything and we all shared stories about Dad while we ate the most delicious seafood, chicken, a favourite of ours was Alligator skewers, delicate flavours to hot and spicy dishes, it was the perfect way for us to reconnect, laugh,cry and just unite together again, we had my youngest son had shut down so it was an amazing way for us to start healing, I have never been religious but we went to see the mummified Monk and honestly I felt extremely emotional, it definitely affected me it was an amazing experience, beautiful people, amazing sights to see, it will always say with me xxxx
I also stayed at the Bandara with my Thai girlfriend, truly amazing place with great food, staff were so polite & helpful & food was superb. For the money Thailand is tough to beat
In 1997 i spent my honeymoon on Koh Samui since i had loved the island so much but 2016 i went again and was so disappointed - way too many hotels and crowds even a McDonalds on Lamai beach😱…OMG.
Hi paddy!!! Just wanted to share with you the blessing your channel has been to us. My husband has had a pretty rough medical journey these past few years. We have been unable to travel but we turned on your TH-cam videos and you beautiful spirit flows right through the tv. It meant the world to us when we were in the hospital getting treatment for cancer. I didn’t want my husband to get depressed so we traveled through Thailand with you. It was awesome. Thank you so much
Twenty years ago I first came to Thailand, Koh Samui was my sanctuary for two weeks, it is still my favourite place to visit. Samui you will rise again.
Simply Wow !!! Another next level adventure video. The small road to the secret garden was so narrow at certain part and you manage to pass through. Your background music selection and the little flower light droplets on the two european girls meditating sum up everything...
Solid work! Always an amazing journey!
Here there and everywhere👍❤️
your vids keeps getting better and better,
Thanks for making these !
Fantastic video today Paddy! These are just getting better and better with each video. Really enjoying this whole series!
It's so nice to watch your videos and hear your stories about your trips in the background, while I am WFH even on a weekend. It makes us 'look forward' and so many new places to explore post-pandemic! We all miss going to Thailand, so near and yet so far. Stay safe wherever you are!
Now this 100% brings back memories on one of the best holiday iv'e every had ..for so many reasons ..Thanks paddy 👍
I loved 19:39 minutes in when the track kicks in and the paddy is saying Next Level in the background.. ..... Details !!!!..
At 20:02 I thought he started to speed up and was like OMG that bike is super fast lol
Absolutely amazing! One of your best adventures yet! That tiny mountain path looked like so much fun on a scooter ❤️
All of your videos are amazing. I like wow, must do this, must go there! Party with models! Why not! Buy a Honda dream!
Yeah! One or two small problems! I'm 84 years young and never ridden a motor bike ! However life is full of challenges.
So don't be surprised if one day an old guy on a Honda dream comes alongside!
Keep up that spirit!
Honda Dream is perfect..
Gillan.. I am 77. I have ridden. Take a serious class and get the license. Helmet, mirrors and drive defensive. I rode for months in Chiang Mai. No real problems. But crazy out there...minus the road rage. There is a 84 year old body builder in my Nevada gym. Arthur Peacock Still competes and worked with Arnold. He was locked down on the Phillip Philippines for 9 months. No gyms, so I asked what he did. "Just f.....d. What I went for ". Anyways, me and you might have a insurance problem. No ew rules for over 70. There are other countries, but Thailand is so safe and with lovely people. Good luck.
lamai has changed, it is now a family friend place to go, been like that for a long time.
Looks amazing!! What a time to travel without the hoards of tourists. So happy you're sharing your adventures with us.
Koh Samui is amazing. My wife and I spent two months at a time there on more than one occasion. The people are fantastic and the vibe is magical. Yes, there were other tourists... but we never felt it was overcrowded. You are privileged.
Koh Samui is just next level plus a million.
The first time I've been there, in 1989, the year they opened the airport, there was barely 3 hotels on Chaweng beach and that was it. And the jet propeller plane I took to go there - a Dash 8 - sadly crashed a year later.
You're video does really show that this island is so much more than only beaches...
Hey Alain, greetings from a fellow traveler - I was there in 1988 for the first time, too! Also stayed at Chaweng Beach (Noi- First Bungalows if I recall correctly) and I do remember the time when there were only a couple of basic huts to stay at… the island was unspoiled, uncommercialized, no paved roads, just a couple of bars, barbecue on the beach and the Reggae Pub had just opened… it was magic. Loved, loved, loved the island at that time. It really was paradise, and, as we can see from Paddy’s videos, it still is yet with a very different vibe. Now might be a very good time to revisit. Will hop over soon. 🙂
So incredibly nice... Thank you Paddy for showing my home island from such a beautiful perspective. Seeing your video reminds us of how lucky we are to be living in such a gorgeous place...
Next level perfection! Beaches AND mountains? Yes please! ❤️ My list keeps getting longer.... Koh Samui ☑️
one of the cool travelling bloger, I like the way you blogging, no over reacting , no dramatic,just clear presentation and interesting exploring. :D , I like your motocycle .
Your next level adventures really brings back good memories for me, 25 years ago I was there in Koh Samui. Just as beautiful as I remember. And it wasn't busy when I was there either.
25 years Mark wow ,And heres me thinking iv'e done that and loved the history and the monk wearing sun glasses (i found out why he did )how i would have loved to have stayed there when you was there mate ..The changes 🤦♂️
@@genokemp2433 it’s was such a great time, spent some amazing times with people. The place we stayed at, the owner invited us to have dinner and breakfast with his family everyday. Hardly anyone spoke English, the owner spoke some English. But we had a great time with them.
I've been there 33 years ago, was a paradise!
Oh Paddy my heart was in my mouth watching you drive along that tiny path!
This island and your next one are on our wish list, having been to other parts. Loving your day trips . Thank you. Cath and Kevin x
Spectacular, Paddy! Dreaming of the day when travel to Thailand is possible. Loving your content!!!!!
i am currently planning my trip to Vietnam mainly using youtube to decide on my itinary and this is how i came across your channel. i thought since i know koh samui quite well, i should come and see how accurate your point of view is and how much i agree with you and if i can trust your koh samui summary. your portrait of Koh Samui is so accurate that i will basically leave all resources aside and mainly concentrate on your Vietnam series :) thank you :)
Ko Samui - the love of my life! 28 years ago in 1993 I fell in love with that island and never get rid of it. Since than every 2 years I visit my old love again. On my bike I explore Samui and always I find new gorgeous hidden places. See you soon again my love!
Thanks Paddy for your high quality expressions. Well done!
Peter, I respect you love to Ko Samui but life is too short to go to the same place again again.... move on find new Love(s)
Amazing video as always! Beautiful beach and magical garden. Lovely sunset. Thank you for sharing!
That sunset looked like it was from Plai Lam. By the big bhudha and sea train ferry pier ☀️ 🌊 Chawang beach gets the sun rise..
So nice to see a activity that is perfect for kids too. This is exactly the stuff I’m looking for for my channel! 🤩
Oh my, it’s incredibly beautiful. Thanks for sharing this beauty.
Once again, another great day with Paddy in Thailand!
This was your best vlog yet of the trip imo.
Another great video...love the music in this one. It matches the scenes and your narrative very well.
Thanks Paddy! Loving all of your videos!
Really good video, Paddy ! I was there in June and can't wait to go back ! Thanks for the inspiration 👌
Amazing video! ❤ Love the new camera and you're getting more creative. 😁
Excellent narration, Paddy! You do such a great job of making us feel like we were with you there. And that temple - what a difference from the scary temple you went to a few vlogs back!
Haha very true
Awesome! So fun to be on a journey with you!
Been to all these places and longing to go back

I’m so happy that you enjoyed the secret garden as much as I did! Even when I went before covid it was just as quiet as when you was there. You’re making me extremely tempted to plan a trip out there ASAP! 😁
Amazing Video. Thank you for the next level in adventure. Dan from Australia
Hi Paddy! The Secret garden is amazing, I was there a few years ago.
With love from Sweden 🇸🇪
I went to Koh Samui back in 2015 and had completely forgotten about the secret gardens, it's awesome there, we had the place to ourselves when we went during low season on the island.
thank you for sharing your life with us! Sending you Pure Devine Light and Love
Love this part ( I stay juned )
Thank you for taking time to have nice holidays for us.
I do love the blue house.
Loved that , I can understand why you could live there amazing views 👏
Can’t wait to be back in Koh samui in February 🙌🏽

Paddy my good man I love watching your videos mate. I sometimes pretend I’m you for a moment then I shake my head and realize I’m still in Canada. One of these days I’m going to come meet you and do some cycling over there and get you on a bicycle my friend. All the best. Keep that content coming 🙌
Absolutely spectacular
Loved this video and just have to say, How lovely are you !! Ps omg how scary was that road, held my breath for you

Been on that bike route many times, brought back some great memories, cheers Paddy
Koh Samui is indeed very beautiful, loved that little blue bungalow!
HEY Paddy
Absolutely next level
Cheers buddy👍
Honestly, Paddy, I don't even watch Mark Wiens anymore. I'm tired of food and enjoy the story you're creating much more. Thanks for constantly elevating your content. I am hooked.
Awesome 👍
Same here. Lol
Mark Weener is good actor, asians love him hamming it up
Awesome. I really liked this video. Koh Samui's views are very pretty. And it is worth visiting and have a vacation. Thank you for sharing this! :)
Thank you so much! 😊 The best review about Koh Samui!
I love this review
Enjoy paddy, you are amazing, so quiet there now but so different when things are normal, still a beautiful island x be safe x
Yes, Koh Samui is really a paradise. We stayed at the Renaissance Koh Samui Resort & Spa at the north end of Lamai Beach about 5 years ago. Wonderful!
Greetings from England 🇬🇧
Really enjoyed this video. I had to put sunscreen on just watching 😄😁
The views from the top of that monument looked outstanding. I love the feeling of height.
The secret garden looked like a brilliant place to visit also 🙏🇹🇭
I loved the secret garden. I welled up when the children were in the meditation poses - stunning picture
hey paddy, been following your trip since the deep south! enjoying it!! thanks for all this....you're going to my favorite island next, can't wait for the video ;) do you plan to hit the east coast of kp as well? happy trails man!!!
Koh Ma Beach Resort is the best place on Koh Phangan. Beautiful snorkeling and nice beach with lovely coffee and drinks shop also a great restaurant on the beach next to the river. Enjoy
Next level always. Watching over
Loved this.background music was beautiful
I can't agree with you more, it's my favorite beach area in all of Thailand. It must be so much better now with nobody there and can enjoy a more peaceful experience than normal High Season. Cheers!!
Can't beat a mummified Monk. Reminded me of a history teacher I had in high school. Seriously that magic garden is a place to experience! Beautiful and peaceful.
Wow! Absolutely gorgeous!
I enjoy sharing your adventures on youtube. Thank you.
Love samui. Can't wait to go back
Really enjoyed your informative video Paddy, thanks for sharing, a very beautiful place indeed, I've always done the Caribbean myself, with the beaches and greenery, its actually very similar in that respect, but so very different in others (obviously), more and more I am being drawn into south east Asia, kind regards from England.
yeees driving around ona scooter was my best times in Bali too 😍 I'm excited to viti this beautiful island! Thanks for sharing loved it 🙌🏾
Spicy content brother 💙
