Fun Fact for you 💛 Channel Members and Patrons have already seen the next episode, so hit that JOIN button if you wanna see all the videos early 💛
Sublime videos young man good to hear you a fellow Toon Army member.Is that accent posh Jesmond? lol
I'm curious, how often do you fill up on gas? Where do you stop? Especially in the rural areas? How much are you spending? Just a thought
Paddy Skywalker feeling a disturbance in the force.
Will always love people giving their honest opinion.
Whenever you record voiceover now I cant help envisioning you hidden under a pillow in your hotel room lol
Should've kept it a secret lol
Same
Same😂
Moral of the story, when Paddy is in a sour mood, give him 3 beers and he will be all smiles.
Agreed! I believe it's called withdrawal symptoms! 😂😂😂
Paddy, you are always straight with your viewers and for that I love you. Following you is a great pleasure.
No need to apologize for feeling uneasy at the cave. Always trust your gut feelings. Thanks for showing me some things that I will skip on my next trip. You’ve saved me time and money.
Hey Paddy,
Last night insurgents attacked Rangers at a Defence Volunteer outpost in north east, Narathiwat. Result: 1 insurgent killed. Hence the soldiers.
Right on the money. After the outpost attack they have stepped up security.
Moral of the story “follow your gut instinct”
I imagine if something BIG happened, then that's when the security checkpoints stop everybody and essentially close down the perimeter until they find who did it.
So unless a terrible event happens, security basically does nothing aside from be ready to close the gates both in and out, so to speak.
You wear the shoe covers because little rocks that get stuck in the grooves in the soles of your shoes could scratch the glass panels.
Always, always listen when the hairs on the back of your neck stand up! You did the right thing and left. You are very much alone there and the smiles can turn to frowns really quickly when things go south. Enjoying your videos very much.
Looking at the sky and the atmosphere, the weather and the air quality must be amazing!!!
It's a shame that ruin abit of your fun ,but when your not comfortable listen to your inter voice
I think you got up on the wrong side of the bed you where miserable
From reading the comments, I can tell this will be an unpopular opinion but oh well. :) I have no problem with capitalism. If someone wants to offer a service and I don't believe it's fair market price, I will essentially walk. Although I only visit Thailand each year, I lived in Philippines and they have their own version of these money grabs and farang (puti) pricing. What I love about your vlogs is it's real. You're not putting on the typical vlogger fake smile about every place you visit. Your authenticity is what makes this channel special.
Exactly, Paddy is absolutely right! There's absolutely NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT, even if you were hypothetically, say being at some of these places on a specific date:-
1) Paddy Dolye was at one of Yala's security check-point on 6 November 2019, pretty sure even so Paddy won't be one of the 15 unfortunate souls that never see the Sunlight again
2) Paddy Dolye was at Pattani's Big C Supermarket on 9 May 2017, pretty sure even so Paddy won't get a single scratch unlike the other 80 unfortunate injured ones
3) Paddy Dolye was at one of Hua Hin's Thai Resort on August 11, 2016, pretty sure even so Paddy won't feel a thing unlike those victims
4) Paddy Dolye was at Surat Thani, Phuket and Trang few days after Aug 11, 2016, once again Paddy will never get a scratch from any explosive devices even if he were to be there
5) Paddy Dolye was in front of 7 Eleven convenience store on Ponpichai Road & near the police flats opposite Hat Yai police station in Haytai on 6 May 2014, Paddy would be prefectly safe & sound
6) Paddy Dolye was in Danok, Padang Besar and Sadao on 22 December 2013, pretty sure even if Paddy was there Paddy will be safely protected by his wisdom
7) and the list goes ON and ON ....... (too long a list, indeed)
So, what to worry? Nothing! All look SO RANDOM! Completely NOT related to any religion, any race, any political parties! It could have happened to any country in the world, on any random day, to any random people, so what to worry! It is SO SILLY to have so many checkpoint, or even military personnel's carrying assault rifles on patrol! Was that even necessary? Right?!
Paddy Doyle should certainly move to Southern Thailand and spend the next 30 years there to enjoy long & peaceful life! Don't listen to any rumor that spreads fear. The next time a similar event happens, Paddy Doyle must be sure to be there in person on the spot to experience it first hand ! ...... :-) Cheers!
Paddy the things for your feet were so you never scratch the glass . and you were salty over 20 baht ? if you go do the skywalk at the grand canyon it costs you $45 you paid just over a quid
Principal
Never seen your videos before, and this was awesome. Subscribed! (Now I've gotta go back and watch all your previous videos!)
Beautiful part of Thailand, similar to the North
Feel like 20 bahts would help local people with jobs since no tourist and the pandemic 😷
this mood might b lacking of beer too long time😂
23 April 2021: In the Southern Province of Narathiwat Rangers received a report that a bomb had been thrown at a volunteer outpost in the Yi-Ngo district. No one was injured in the explosion. 6 men on 3 motorcycle were reported to have attacked the outpost. When rangers spotted the suspects shots were fired and one man was killed.
The rangers arrested 2 men, then seized an assault rifle and the 3 motorcycles. 2 suspects fled the scene. No rangers were killed on the attack.
Stay safe Paddy.
The shoe covers are to stop stones in your shoe tread scratching the glass. You were in a real whiny mood. Yeah 20 baht for the motorbikes is dumb but the road to the top and parking at the top would probably get clogged
Another great video! I really enjoy the scenery while your driving.
Yala seems to have an almost northern Thailand vibe going with all the mist, mountains and lush green jungle.
Adding it to the ever growing Thai bucket list. Thanks for sharing your experience Paddy!
Livin life on the edge! you rock, Paddy!
I love love his honesty! Lol
Was in Betong New Year's Eve 31st Dec 2019. At midnight fireworks went off along with a grenade attack on a Police Post that scared the crap out of all of us. Will never return there in this lifetime
Great series PD ... and on a journey to 20k subs 😀👍🏼
Enjoy the people ! Enjoy Thai culture. Been there many times. Yala is full of nice people. No place is perfect.
Because it is next to the Malaysian border, there have been protests and attacks since the early 2000's due to separatist activities. Bombings and attacks over the decades, so the Thai military presence is heavier. Just a little history reference.
Watching paddy on his adventures first thing in the morning is awesome. Paddy...you are making me miss southern Thailand so much!
For the taxi bike is just for helping locals to have the job and for keeping the place maintenance, imaging if they allow every one to take their vehicle to the top how chaos it would be? since on the top there's not much places to park
That's understandable 😊
nice video and nice song ...paddy !
What a great finish of the day with the funny man!
Paddy, I think the main reason they do not allow your and visitors’ motor bikes or cars to drive up all the way to the top of the skywalk is because there is not enough parking space there. I heard that that skywalk is quite famous, a big crowd would normally show up to see an ocean of cloud/fog covering the valley in the dawn. Have fun and be safe!
I feel you, Paddy!!!
Living in South Africa I've gotten so used to seeing weapons like that all the time and worked in a gun shop when I was younger, but when you get that uneasy feeling you listen to it, no matter where you are
Great Video again. The Motorbike Scam is a shame, but at the End it was all good, the guy in the Hotel was amazing. Beautiful Landscape
As a Thai people , I have to inform you about insurgency in southern border of Thailand [ separatist violence in Muslim-majority southern provinces ] many poeple died and injured for decades .And to date seem to be many governments has failed to engage seriously with political solution to the southern conflict.That's why you see armed guard soldiers and army truck. We hope peace will happen there one they in the future,not any conflicts left.
Nice 👍 video I like it that you said what you really felt and did not sugarcoat it. Often times TH-camrs just say everything is great. You are a positive guy who always has fun but it’s nice to see you complain once in a while as well when it is warranted. Like button smashed.
Thanks very much Paddy for beeing my "proxy traveller" since unable to go to Thailand now. Take care!
Paul L.
Thanks Paul 💓
The standard of presentation is so high it could easily be a television series
I know this was sooooo long ago, and that you were really trying to get people to be less worried about going to Yala (which is appreciated, but not 100% your responsibility to convince people of that, not meaning that in a rude way).
I just wanted to say, it's definitely okay to turn around and not enjoy an attraction if you have a weird feeling about it! Military or not! You're okay to make these decisions for you! As a solo traveler myself, I like to see and relate to others experiencing that, and everything not being sunshine and flowers all the time!! ❤🤍💙🤍❤
Great stuff man safe travels on the bike
Scenery is beautiful ,maybe you try to have a little chit chat with people you might feel a bit better, I personally think the reason you are feeling uncomfortable is not because of the presence of the security /military but because you have heard negative things about the south and them thoughts are at the back of your head, I am sure you could have had a chat with the guys doing road trip on the BMW motorbikes maybe could have given you some tips on some places to visit in Yala, Try to have chat with the locals you meet and you will find how friendly and welcoming they can be. Any how you enjoy the rest of your trip brother, looking forward to the next video, take care and stay safe.
In fact, Southern Thailand, from Ligor to Malaysia, is the mainland of the Malaya peninsula. The native people are the Malays. They were eliminated in their own country because their territory was conquered by the kingdom of Siam / Thailand hundreds of years ago until now.
I think the guards are signs of potential troubles in the area,they are there as a deterrent and protection for the people.
Hey Paddy, i just did the Pattani to Pyamit tunnel road trip on motorcycle, it was absolutely, absolutely, absolutely fabelous, thanks for recommending it.
Glad you enjoyed it
How dare you talk to Dreamy like that 😂
😭😭😭
I understand u disappoint with the 20baht. Me i would just go back , or go up walking. Thanks for share with us this fantastc videos. I enjoy your transparency.
Great video's Paddy when do you think you will get to Loei?
Your attitude is superb 👍👍👍. I wish I can join you😃
At the Grand Canyon Skywalk its the same. You have to pay for entrance & bus ride( I thunk it was abt $100 years ago) to the walk AND you must lock your camera/ phone away. You want a photo? There is a photographer that bills you $30/€25/TBh945 per photo. They claim if you drop the camera, you will damage the glass. Uhmmm if it's that flimsy glass, why are people walking on it?
They didn't let you ride to the top of the skywalk so that local Thai people would get some small amount of money (Baht20 up and Baht10 down). And big cars also could not go up They had to park below If not everyone wanted to park on the top. If you did not want to pay you could walk up and down
Hi Paddy, I've followed your channel quite some time, just notice you too a magpies fan. Will check out your others video. 🙂
Hi Paddy, heartfelt congratulations 👏👏 for reaching the 50000th subscriber! Look forward to watchng your next vlogs. 🍺🍺🍺
Many many anywhere 😂 The Force is with you, young Skywalker
Is it chaa manao, not chai manao. Love the content though. Want to do my own bike trip and get out of Bangkok and some great ideas and ideas for me to try and do once the Covid situation is better
look I didn't want to call this out but it bothered me too lol 😅Chaa = tea, I heard you saying "chai manao" and I was thinking you were saying "yes lemon"
Great adventure, thank you for coming to Thailand💕💪😆
Wow very cool Paddy, I like your b roll and map effects ! :]
Cheers mate 😘
You’re killin’ it bro’. Bless you.
Shy Walk ...ha...ha.. ha.. it's fun hearing you laugh like that.
Great video, Yala is a lovely place to discover and not only Betong, come back visit us!
Great video again!
Paddy I love hearing your reasons for not spending time in the cave. Fair point. Best to get a Thai guide like Indigo traveller does for his videos , Will make travel alot safer . I love seeing the real Thailand .
A guide requires extra Baht. So me thinks O'l Paddy won't be splash'n out the dough vary soon, for that ?
I'll take the "RAW" Paddy , any day of the week....
Wow Paddy’s Channel is amazing,you’ve done things amazing, things that’s unbelievable,things that Thai people going to say wow!!
Northern Peninsular too very beautiful Kelantan and Terengganu
‘Shite walk’ followed by that laugh.. hahaha.. you’re hilarious mate 😂😂. Rest well bro, the vibrations from a low CC Honda can really take a toll on your body on a long trip
ยะลาเป็นสถานที่ท่องเที่ยวสวยสุดของไทย เมืองยะลาเป็นของไทย
Paddy, well I’m sure you already knew it’s not gonna always be a pleasant experience everywhere you go. But, still the scenic routes with the tunnel/cave was pretty cool to see. Get some rest and regroup for the next adventure, mate. 😊👍
20:45 Paddy, at least you aren't at the Grand Canyon Skywalk in the US. It's worse and it costs like $100 USD for 15 minutes
I really like this journey. It's so calm and soothing for my mind. I am looking forward to new videos from you! Thanks! : )
Your perseverance is so admirable. 😂 you really didn’t vibe with any of the places in this video lol
Nice Suzuki vstrom on that bridge too !
The scamming is something I do not miss from Thailand. One of the reasons I hate going there. Can't tell you the amount of times I've been scammed, especially when drunk. Malaysia is a better country when it comes to scams as its almost non existent there. I've been treated very well and not taken advantage of when I was drunk there.
Up the toon! Great to see Thailand repping their support for the best team!
Ha'way the lads
As someone who grew up in Norn Iron the sight of armed troops is probably less disturbing for me, and we get quite a few around Mae Hong Son where it's close to the Myanmar border - they seemed friendly enough :)
@@nigelfitzpatrick8940 - I didn't say it was . . .
Ya you were too young to remember the troubles. I thought you were irish with your irish sounding name. Yala is like the northern ireland of thailand😅
His accent would give that away most people from England r rest of UK don't release armed police in Northern Ireland is normal
I have covid and I am isolated, your travel videos are the highlight of my day. keep it up!
Love the new format! It's great to learn a bit of Thai as well as we're considering moving there. Now I know the word for ice tea :).
‘Cha’ = Tea, ‘Ma-now’ = Lime/Lemon (In regard to this drink). It’s not ‘Chai ma-now’ as Paddy said in the video. He had a lot on his mind, and so it was probably a slip of the tongue 🙂 There are hot or cold versions...so ‘cha ma-now yen’ for the cold version, and ‘cha ma-now ron’ for the hot.
A regular iced tea would be ‘Cha dum yen’ (dum = black), and ‘Cha Yen’ would get you an iced Thai milk tea.
The southern Thailand is awesome for those who look for nature, simple life and authenticity... So if you're looking for night life, bars, girls and lady boys, then better go upper to Phuket and Pattaya
It's not what he's after.
@@bensteyn1974 The "you" was not addressed to Paddy or someone specific... It's a way of speaking...
Skywalk Ayerweng you should have to go at 6am. you will find the beautiful scenery. And full of mist (sea of fog)
I know...next time 💋
drone almost hit that lamp post
Hey Paddy it’s great to see your having a good time! I was a teacher in Khonkaen for 2 years! Hope to get back in the future ! I’m now teaching online back home for a while until things get back to normal ! Stay safe enjoy every moment as I wish I was back !
I travelled on a boat on a river near Chiang Mai/Chiang Rai in 1991 with a border guard with a M16 sitting in the bow.. nevermind he was asleep for most of the trip..
Paddy I'm thinking the best part of your day was the 3 beers and why not enjoy yourself 😂😂😂
Keep up the good work Paddy.
I been in Satun.....south of Thailand..
There were no beer at skywalk, that is why Paddy is in a bad mood.
Don't worry Paddy, I've seen much the same in the Philippines. You park here, ride a jeep up a hill 300 meters then you walk some more, paying 30 or 50 pesos at each step. Having the parking does usually allow some control over where most of the litter is, plus it helps control how many people are in the "attraction " at peak times. Plus it gives them a place to assemble a bunch of vendors to peddle water or tea and snacks and so on.
Thank you what a fun journey. Keep up the amazing adventure. Dan from Australia
The conflict in Southern Thailand has seen more deaths than the gaza strip, might put the armed guards in perspective
Some lovely roads, shame the sky walk wasn’t any good. Hope the Honda dream holds up.
The danger is not the soldiers. The danger are the separatist bomb-planters who don't wear a uniform and are not visible. The cave is a target because it's where a lot of people congegrate and a bomb would cause maximum loss of life and limb and, if a farang is involved, it's a "bonus"... 😱
This said. A very honest video and you share your feelings, which is a better bonus than coming back in bits in a carrier bag. Thanks 🌹 😎😄
In case most don't know it, you can't bring in and use your walkie talkie in Southern Thailand. I am not sure if it applies to the whole of Thailand. You can be in deep trouble if caught by the authorities.
its the "sky walk more like shite walk" that got me 🤣We've all had these experiences travelling, sometimes its valid, sometimes you're just not in the mood.
I stopped watching the video once he started complaining about 20 baht which is 64 cents, whining little bitch, he should stay home. Must be a fun guy to travel with.
@@juice7136 he clearly said it’s not the money it’s the principle
It’s clearly a scam and these people don’t give you the option of a ride up they force you to take one
You gotta love Thailand !! I do !! And I love you for taking me around !! My little helmet and me are ready for the next tour.....
I like this vídeo,but i'm afraid👀 of walking on the glass🍀😘
You could have just walked the 200 meters to the skywalk.
Yup
Welcome to my city
As an adventurist traveler you get scared pretty easily.
Haha I do
When the nice fella with the big beers said Chong gou it means clink glasses 🥂🍻
