BALI 🇮🇩 I NEVER EXPECTED THIS (Incredible Experience)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 มิ.ย. 2023
- Today we continue our week long tour of BALI but, not the BALI you might expect. You see I have been coming to Bali for over 12 years and have slowly fallen out of love with the island. Too many tourist, the expensive daily budget you need compared to just a few years ago, means that I kinda wrote Bali off as a travel destination.
However, recently I decided (thanks to my subscribers) to give Bali another try except this time to explore the 80% of the Island I have previously ignored and go out and explore the 'REAL' Bali.
In this episode then we jump on a scooter and explore Northern Bali in the area around Mt.Batur
This series was filmed in May 2023 ✌️🇮🇩 ✌️

All I have to say is...'Shifty Little F***ers' is the best description I've heard for the monkeys in SE Asia...made me chuckle all night, better than anything David Attenborough has said. Thanks Paddy another great video and great views from your hotel 😁
Glad you enjoyed it haha
Hanna Stone's song Pandemonium is a classic. The instrumental version is also excellent. Her music fits your mood and the beauty of Bali, which I've been to many times, many moons ago. May she rest in peace 🙏
The only problem is that she's not dead, the singers name in that song is Hanna Stone, a totally different person. Hannah Stone is the person who died. Paddy probably mixed them up.
It's a beautiful song, and thankfully she is still alive, Paddy's mixed her up with the TH-camr Hannah Stone who passed away.
Thank you Paddy for giving us an amazing visual adventure and sharing your feelings. You made a big effort creating this video.
I know bali is very touristy but at the same time its really beautiful. there is something really magical about bali that draws people towards it. i visited last year and here i am seeing your vlogs and want to visit bali again .....❤🫶🇮🇩
Spectacular! Thanks for sharing Paddy.
The guides and even drivers are proper Instagram coaches these days. I was in Lombok last year, and had this happenend to me. I didnt have the heart to tell my guide i didn't need all those photo's of myself, so I let him direct me 😂. He was so passionate about it.
Great video. Beautiful shots again Paddy. 😍
Thanks for sharing your journey with us. Lovely music too. x
Great video, felt like the old adventures 👍
Thank you Paddy for the tour that an old man like me wouldn't be able to make it. Very enjoyable both the scenery, stories and reflections.
Looks like a great adventure so far, great to see you visibly stoked on this leg of the trip
Excellent video! The drone shots are amazing! So glad you reconsidered Bali as it is so beautiful where you are now. Love the pandemonium song in your videos. Can't wait to see more of Bali. Thanks for your efforts of showing the world places they've never been. :)
Absolutely gorgeous especially on top of volcano with my favorite music. Thank you for made my day. You are the best 💓
So excited for this series! Cheers from your old stomping grounds in the UK!
Another Awesome Adventure Paddy Doyle🙂 Watching from New Brunswick Canada.🙂
Hi Paddy, just keep being You!! Thanks!! Love the song at the end😊
Another great watch. Thanks Paddy.
Thank you for role modeling how to take feedback and returning to Bali based on what you learned from others. What a lovely video showcasing the path less traveled in Bali.
Great video paddy, really enjoyed this 😃
Another great video ,brings back memories of being in that region 25 years ago
Thanks again Paddy for a beautiful video peace and happiness on your travels drone footage is amazing
Always so great to visit you. Please continue to make videos. They are very good, and I enjoy your journeys very much.
Beautiful ! Paddy, thank you for another excellent video!
Many thanks!
Thks Paddy once again excellent work 👏
Enjoy yr beer 😉
Can't wait to see your Switzerland and Italy vids 😆👌😊
A Lot of thanks, amazing
thx u foe the beautiful video
FINALLY said the name of the song AND artist. I've been wondering foreverrrrrr. Thanks! Great vid
Paddy, Thank you for the vid, you seemed a bit down throughout most of it, but the music at the end and your smiles was lovely, the whole vid was superb, emotions, they are all part of us…..🙏
nice closing video. i like it. thx brotherr!!
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Really enjoyed this video Paddy, what a mega walk up that peak LOL 😀
Soo Beautifull Awesome Nature In Bali
Paddy I've been watching you for a long while and there's always one thing that stands out in your videos. You always tugging on your t-shirt around your abdominal area 😂
Wow! This is an awesome! 💙
I miss seeing you on your Honda, just vibing
Great vibes 😊💚
Yesss Pandemonium is your song ❤beautiful video
Thank you very much for the video, Paddy. I just returned from this island back to Thailand. And my feelings are still fresh. You walked the same routes as me. There boiled eggs in steam, and walked along the ridge! Incredible to stand above the clouds!
(by the way, i noticed how you get on the scooter - you're still a biker inside, haha)
I can enjoy the beauty of your adventure, through your beautiful video documentation. Thanks for this documentation
Absolutely amazing content Paddy 👍👌
Much appreciated🫶
Great video Paddy!! Thank you. What camera do you use?
BTW, drove the 1081 in Nan today from your ebook. It was amazing.
🙏
I`m gonna hit the like button already in the beginning of this video because I never saw any of your videos I must regret later. I`m sure that this is not gonna be the first. Pure quality I see in your videos- thank you for taking so much time of yours and editing the videos that are so amazingly wachable for the rest of us cannot do such a beautiful content and putting it all together.
Wow, thanks!
I am glad you are able to show the true Bali ..
Paddy, I want to thank you for two things, very sincerely. I've been a long-time subscriber and commenter (Randy H), and you inspired me to start a TH-cam channel (focusing on Chiang Mai), which I finally did last month. And you helped me again when I asked you a few months ago who a singer was that you used a tiny slice of (Hanna Stone), and you were so kind to reply and give me her name. So my GF and I made a romantic video of us using Chiang Mai as a backdrop showcasing the best of the town, and playing all of the song, Pandemonium. So big thanks to you, Paddy. I will be forever grateful. Maybe one day I'll get to thank you in person. Best wishes.
Hanna Stone I so love this song. It has every time given goose bumps on my arms and tingles up my back. The power of a song. She is on the other side now and a legacy left with her music. an epic beautiful song. Thank you Paddy.
Thank u so much pad, Miss bali already 😢❤
I did that volcano walk, for sunrise and it was tough going, def needed the guide to get up, especially in the dark and on narrow beaten out footpath and rocks.
Ahhh. I'm finally at your channel again man. I just booked a ticket to Bali.
You're one of the best youtuber out there. You inspired me during my Vietnam-Thailand-Cambodia trip last December. So excited for Bali!
Amazing place 🎉❤
Thanks for this i might follow the same route next time im in bali. Also i understand how annoying the you need a guide situation (especially when its 400k!) but he seems to be familiar with the area and always good to have somebody accompanying you
Hhhahaa so cool I’ve just climbed mount batur too for sunset 3 weeks ago! Almost no people, absolutely stunning, ps: I was alone😛
Amazing
Hey Paddy long time watcher first time responder lol. Yeah Bali welcome to the new tourist trap / business model 😎. Was considering retirement there for the surf but would rather paddle around in a stormy at Kata. Enjoy the rest of your trip it's still a beautiful place though.
Looks awesome!
Great job Paddy. We have noted in our travels we need to hit the more popular places before 9AM if you wish to miss the crowds.
Hiya Paddy. Another great installment. Trying to hold myself back and not watch all the videos you have given us. But I will.
I love your honesty.
Great that you got a tour guide. Spectacular drone footage. Perfect music.
This is what I love to see you doing, motorbike, open road. Nothing but your thoughts. Or music/book you are listening to.
The views are insane.
Wow. The place you are staying. Gorgeous. Definitely beautiful and scary at the same time.
So cheap it is crazy.
Your plan sounded better than the early morning start. And you definitely do not need a guide to do a climb. Frustrating for you.
Firestarter. 😆
Monkeys and your comment. Hilarious. You do make me smile.
They have come to share the sunset with you. Hehe.
Perfect ending. Lovely mark of respect, Paddy. Any time I hear this song, it makes me think of you. Gorgeous ending. Onto the next one. Thank you so much for all your hard work.
Ah thanks Nicky!
Volcanoes put life in perspective. We are like ants on a giants back!
I climbed Kenya's 3rd highest mountain in 1982, which is an open crater volcano. It was an amazing experience and the friend I climbed with Richard, and I, have just been reunited online, after 35 years. Great video Paddy!
very fun adventure.
Indonesia is huge bro, you can explore others good place. Maybe after this cross go to Java Island. East Java, Jogjakarta, Central Java, West Java, Jakarta, Banten
awesome video Paddy! -may i ask you what brand those sunglasses are?
This is fantastic! I am so emotionally affected by your Bali vids. Just commenting without reviewing other comments. Hope you have info available for the areas you visited. Thank you once again for great content! I watch all the vids on hubs channel with him. And come on here to comment! Keep up the awesome!!
NOW ! IM SUBSCRIBE 👍🏻
Always great to experience your travels my friend! I am very much of the same mind as you when it comes to the well trodden paths. The convenience they usually bring makes it easy and grants access to all kinds of creature comforts but it also isolates us from the dizziness of being on the edge and that is where the heart stopping and most impactful moments come to life. You were a much patient person than me at that waterfall. I would likely have turned on my heels on the way down those stairs as I saw people squeezing by to pass each other on the way up and down. Like you, I ask myself, what is the point of being a face in that crowd. Anyway, thanks as always Paddy for your great vlogs and getting to enjoy not only the locations but your honest and fun reactions to them. Be well and take care.
Thanks John, glad you are enjoying the series mate
Wonderful series! We have a Bali trip planned in January and we are are going to make sure we travel to the center and north based on your video!! Thanks for the inspiration!!
Another excellent video Paddy, the volcano hike was definitely the highlight of the video. What a view!!!! I'm a "hobby) photographer and I travel by myself for the last 23 years (I feel old now). Sometimes a guide can really ad value to a trip/excursion and I could see the value of the guide going up the volcano. I stop regularly to take photo's and wait sometimes 30 minutes to get the perfect shot, before I continue to walk. But I always tell a guide before hand, so they know what to expect from me. I did four treks in Nepal with a guide (not in a group) and they always adapt to my speed, the can really help you to get most out of your trek. You should see a guide as a tool and not a tourist trap, just think beforehand "can they add value to my experience"?? I Always skip the guides at temples (and similar places), but on a trek to 'semi' remote locations, I find them very useful!! Hope you reconsider Nepal again, there are plenty of treks with only a few tourists!!
True! ☺️
Epic!!!you made me laugh❤
Great video. Thank you for not wearing those reflective sunglasses anymore! 😂😂
The contents of this video pales considerably to the first video
Maybe you can try hiking the Rinjani Mountain in Lombok. But the trek will be quite rough and tiring.
Love when u play pandemonium❤
Can not wait to Share
❤️🤙🏻❤️
You the man bro!
The hotel looked amazing. Spectacular views from the summit. I'm terrified of the monkeys too, especially the ones at the Uluwatu Temple.
haha yeah I am glad it's not just me
Look forward to watching It Paddy
Paddy love the videos. Do you find it tiring carrying a backpack with all the gear with you as you explore? I know you pack light but still, with your camera equipment, laptop etc I can’t imagine it being that light. And it’s not like there is much space to lock it up in your bike since there doesn’t appear to have those side boxes like the ones you had on dreamy.
The sunset on Batur is so unreal, magnificent : the best experience ever for me even if i'm not sportive at all. I had the chance to live the sunset alone with the guide (like you), slept on Batur and see the sunrise. For the sunrise, they are too many people, so it wasn't magical like the sunset, but the energy with people singing, playing music and eat together at the morning was very beautiful! And many many many many thanks for the wonderful discover of the song " Pandemonium tribute" : i'm so grateful to you about that: it's a real treasure for the soul and the heart. (my new favorite song!)
Thanks 🙏
This is awesome. I would never have gone this far in or to the 'other' side but i love it. I prefer not to be where all the tourists go even though i am one so get you totally.
I've noticed that as amazing as Bali is, many of the places of interest/natural attractions require "local guides" for tourists, even for something as simple as a marked 1 mile hike to a waterfall. The guides will just ask you if you are okay, ask if you want a picture, and ask if they can carry something to justify their usefulness, and even though they seem lovely, they definitely are not needed and it's a way to get more money from tourists.
that same waterfall did the same thing to us! haha We thought it was some off the beaten track place that not many people visited....nope! still a fun experience
Somehow I appreciate your reflections on what most are doing... "What are we doing? We go somewhere, we see a nice photo on Instagram, we see a nice video on TH-cam, and we wanna go and recreate it for ourselves. Take the same picture, same poses, same... what are we trying to achieve?"
You're daringly speaking against the viewers in a sense - but it's honest! I like honest introspection.
Great videos in any case!
Hi paddy, we’re travelling Thailand at the moment and wondered where’s best to get fresh chilled fruit?
if you want to see an extraordinary view of the hills, stop by mount Rinjani lombok. there is like a landscape in the country of Switzerland .
Paddy you probably cover this in later videos but Batur is not the highest point in Bali. That belongs to Agung. I have climbed both and Agung is more difficult as it’s much taller.
Back at Batur, the mountain inside the caldera (crater) is a parasitic cone; a new volcano being built inside a larger volcano. This is the pattern for the large volcanoes blowing their tops off and then rebuilding. The most recent example was Tambora on the island of Sumbawa in 1815.
Batur is beautiful! Glad you had a chance to visit another amazing Indonesian volcano
Thanks for the goosebumps at the end ❤😅
I couldn't stop thinking you looked like a naughty little school boy wearing your cap the way you were 😅😅
Great as always Paddy.
nice music
Great video Paddy....and the Best description of monkeys. Still Laughing!!!
i was in bali 5 years ago when mt, Agung volcano was ready to explode. people were being evacuated. was that mt Batur your at? careful there is alot of volcanic activity around the world now
The waterfall looks like Fern Canyon in Humboldt, Cali
Wow, Paddy, not sure how I missed this video, normally watch each and every one, but what a treasure this video is. Truly awesome, from the touristy waterfall that was still amazing to see, to the beautiful temple, and the incredible room you got near the lava flow with it's wonderous volcano views, then on to the 'guided tour' climbing up and around the volcano itself, boy oh boy, Paddy, your talents shined through ever so brightly...Again! Paired with that song "Pandemonium" (RIP to that angel singing) and with your 'next level adventure' skills, the ending was certainly Next Level, so Thank You very much, Paddy, for bringing me back to a smile from start to finish with this fantastic, spectacular video. I'm glad I didn't miss watching this one from you! Stay Healthy, Happy and Safe, my friend.
Thanks a million 🐈⬛
Beautiful video! Thank you! We had a good laugh at the “shifty little fu--s” comment about the monkeys. We were in Bali a few years ago and laughed at the “Don’t look them in the eye!” sign at the Ubud monkey sanctuary. We are in our 70s now, still traveling for 4 months every winter. We find a place to live near the beach, Thailand this year, and then do side trips. We ABSOLUTELY love your videos. Keep on enjoying your “travels” and chronicling them for us! Corinne and Art Fink🇨🇦
Bali is bali cheers.
You need to go to the Philippines and go to Samal Island , which is a 25 minute boat ride from Davao. And stay at the Pearl Farm resort. You will not regret it. I just went there and stayed and it’s basically paradise and not overcrowded because it’s a private resort and the bungalows are very Bali type style , but with AC 😊
I'm sure there is a huge influx of tourists everywhere now. People have a lot of money to spend after not being able to really travel the past few years. For those that still did travel during the pandemic, it was a blessing in disguise. It allowed you to see the touristy places without the tourists! To see these places as if you were the one discovering them for the first time. That's what Thailand felt like for me when I first came here 1 year ago. Now that I'm back to Thailand again, it has lost some of it's luster due to the swarms of tourists everywhere I go now. Back to reality I guess.
What was the name of the summit ,paddy ? The views were breathtakingly beautiful.
miss it there. its been a few years... def want to go back. i recommend going there off season. cheaper and less of a crowd. Also tour guide is necessary as you can get hurt a long the way and no one would know or can help you. also they prob had tourist do dumb stuff before like damage the area or hurt themselves
I like the inner dialogue in the stream mate. I think you sum it up well with it's confusing times. Because of course everyone wants the photo but there is also potentially a lot of vanity with it. I guess it depends on the intention of it... Like a couples photo to go in a frame at home makes sense and as you said there is nothing wrong with wanting a cool photo of ourselves right? But there is a lot lost too. Phones, devices, cameras all of it takes away from the real experience in front of us and likewise changes people's behaviours in those places. But we can't quite kick the habits ourselves either. No easy answer but an awareness and also moderation of being a part of it... Good intentions and less vanity... And acceptance of others and others behaviours while also seeking out those more true experiences ❤
Paddy, yes each family has their own family temple in what we would call a family compound and the village (desa) has a public temple. I lived in Seminyak but loved my trips to North Bali. You went to one of the biggest IG water falls in Bali LoL. Yes you were scammed. You don't need a guide i stayed by the black lava field (called bukit hitam or black hills) and i went up the back side of Batur with my Balinesian friend. Last, I like the quote from Firestarter by Prodigy.
Now that's the way to do Bali justice.
I appreciate you expressing your honest view. I for one would not recreate an Instagram picture since I don't actually use Instagram. You don't even get full-screen pictures on that web site and I have no clue why people are flocking in droves to that site.
Ô paddy c'est vraiment un paradi nôtre planète merci paddy
