Thank you for being vulnerable with us and keeping it real.
Enjoyed the series. I'm surprised you made it so far without any injury. Your choice of clothing wasn't the best. You might want to research Armband Reflective Gear and High Visibility Vests.
Enjoyed every moment of your travelling. Its hard in that heat trust me ive done it ❤
E bike..... Ebike e bike E bike..... Why did you not get a e bike.....
I don’t blame you for doing that Paddy! I probably would have given up at the beginning lol.. But I am glad that you made the right decision to abort the trip due the weather! Heat stroke is no joke! My brother had a heat stroke when he was a teenager playing basketball with his friends! They had to call my mom at her job to meet him at the emergency room!!
All I have to say is “It’s better to be safe than sorry!”
Good luck when you decide to try it again in the winter!
You did not give up. You simply made a choice to not die. A very brave and smart choice. You won over your ego in a very hard battle. This was an important thing for you to achieve. Not the bike ride. It was a huge win.
That's going too far to say Paddy chose not to die. He just realised he wasn't up to it physically and mentally. And that's okay.
He gave up in Vietnam and Thailand, let's be honest
@@kippsguitar6539 so what? He's done more by trying things in his years than most of us. If you're going to try more adventures you're going to fail more. The need to be seen winning all the time is life and energy stealing. It puts people in a place where we fear to attempt. So, please, keep your judgement away from someone who is doing trying, failing and succeeding. I intend travel and YouTubing it so my family have a momento of me. I'm disabled and later middle aged. I'll fail constantly. Voices like yours make me want not to try to live. Please don't 😊
He needs to learn to ride properly. He looked silly with bent legs going so slow.
Any doctor would tell him he's gonna kill himself. most experienced bikers dont even do 100km LOL
"The master has failed more times than the amateur have tried" 🙏
My advice would be to make a series like "exploring Thailand on a bicycle" where you choose nice regions of the country to ride through. You can also take trains if it’s more convenient from time to time. A more realistic and enjoyable way to explore Thailand with a bicycle 🚴🫶🏻 (during a more convenient time of the year)
I think this is a great idea! It provides fun, many different episodes and you can show more of the different regions in depth maybe.
Really brave of you to read, understand and accept your situation, Paddy! Well done!
Thanks mate!
Yes December a better plan … Bless 😊
agree with this statement.
Your failure was preparation. You failed the second you started. Don’t beat yourself up for getting on the train. That’s not when you failed. That’s just when you gained the knowledge that it can’t be done the way you prepared for it. You definitely made the right call to get on the train, and if you try again, you will have so much more wisdom than you did going into this. The key word is wisdom. Ask anyone wise, how they got that way, and they will rattle off all their failures, and not their successes 😊
อุปสรรค และ อันตราย คือ
1.อากาศร้อนเกินไป
2.ถนนใหญ่ มีรถใหญ่มาก อันตราย
3.ถ้าขี่จักรยาน เวลาเช้ามืด หรือ กลางคืน,
ถนนในชนบท จะมืดมาก,มองไม่เห็นถนน และ รถคันอื่น ก็มองไม่เห็นจักรยานของคุณ..
ดีแล้วค่ะ ที่คุณตัดสินใจ ยุติโครงการ
เห็นด้วย ❤❤❤
โชคไม่ดีอาจจะเจอคนเมา แต่ขอให้สิ่งศักดิ์สิทธิ์คุ้มครองคุณตลอดการเดินทางครับ❤
Crazy heat in Thailand now, take care man. Don't get heat stroke in the afternoon sun.
ที่น่าห่วง คือ กลางคืน และช่วงต่อ ระหว่างตอนเช้ามืด
อันตรายจากรถ ที่ขับโดยคนเมา หรือ พวกขับรถที่หลับใน เพราะช่วงรอยต่อของ ความมืดและ แสงแดด
เป็นข้อห้ามสำหรับการเดินทาง
Diarrhea is a sign of heat stroke... i got it from cycling in heat wave and hospitalized for 4 days. You make the right decision. Do it again during the cold weather, we want to see more of Thailand in this format. 😁
This is true I have done some long distance kayak trips along the coast of Portugal and took rehydration salts sachets with me it helped with the Diarrhoea.
Perhaps if you decide to do this again cycle sections but then use the train to get past difficult sections. We live in Phetchabun and I would have happily picked you up in Phitsanulok, put the bike in the back of the pick up and driven you over the mountains to our province where you had a really amazing time when you came through on Dreamie. Also, there are rural roads from here down through to Lopburi and then onto Ayutthaya. Reach out if you decide to do this again. Having a support network of people throughout the country would help. You made the right decision.
This is a great idea!
Well done on making the right decision. Your physical and mental well-being are of paramount importance. I'm really looking forward to the next adventure.
Thanks mate!
Better to have tried than not at all..fail to prepare prepare to fail is a saying..to embark on such an adventure & not even have proper lights for roads you must have been aware are not lit is just bizare & doing it during the hot season as well should have run a book on it but who would have put money on you finishing it 😅😅😅
Anyone that's spent any time in Thailand knows cycling on a Thai highway at night is near suicidal. You definitely made the right choice
agree
I live about 35kms NE of Chiang Rai and I'm an avid cyclist covering around 250-300 kms a week. I admire your attempt to cycle the length of Thailand as a complete novice and even more so by admitting that it wasn't for you (this time). Probably the best time to cycle in Thailand is just after the rainy season (end of Oct onwards) it's cool especially in the mornings. Just chalk this up to experience and you'll be better prepared next time.
You NEVER failed. you did something that others didnt. you tried and had a go.
1,715 kilometres from North to South Thailand. How many kilometres done??? 500 maybe, over a period of 12 days. You have to be mentally strong to do this type of challenge as well as fit. I am afraid Paddy was neither.
All these inspirational consolation messages fail to consider that he bit more than he can chew and he himself knew it.
You can’t say you tried if you enter the Tour de France or Iditarod when you have little experience.
Stop doing things for TH-cam views and purely financial interests just to generate content and show you have failed. He generated 5 videos out of an activity he clearly knew he was not up to the task.
He calls himself a travel vlogger so limit yourself to shooting travel content and eating Pad Thai.
Normally the heat in Thailand is no joke. Adding a heat wave and bicycling is madness. I'm glad to see you on the train.
yup.... a perfect storm
Mad dogs and Englishmen!
Paddy, you bicycled more than 600 kms from Mae Sai to Phi Chit. More than half of the distance to the Gulf of Thailand. That's an enormous achievement for someone not really prepared, during a dreadful heat wave. Tough man! But when your body says stop, and when your mind says stop, you have to listen to yourself.
Someone said you should have used an e-bike: I totally second this, and when you get it, make sure it's adjusted to your dimensions. your knees are precious, keep them in good shape.
Later this year, maybe in November, you'll have time to try again, with an e-bike to reach Malaysia, or maybe reach Cambodia via the entire Sukhumvit road.
What a superb adventure you just lived!
You're so right. I love Paddy but sometimes I look at him and think 'you've been here 8 years, why is your Thai language so bad?'. His heart is in the right place but it would help a lot if he could explain himself to locals. It also helps boost morale when you can chat with someone after a hard day!
In February 2018 I cycled this section of 140 km in one day. Not a good experience and I would never do it again. I remember when a motorcycle passed within inches of me at 90 km an hour and scared the hxxll out of me. I am sorry to hear that you are quitting your cycle trip because your videos were inspiring me to go back to thailand and attempt to do the same trip north south trip but using a different route. thanks for posting Paddy
ทำดีที่สุดแล้วค่ะ รักษาสุขภาพนะ อากาศร้อนมากๆ ขอบคุณที่รักประเทศเรา❤❤
I have no doubts you have done the right thing. I cycle 2 laps of Suvarnabhumi ( 47km ) 3 times a week and I can tell you it’s like 80km in normal 20deg conditions.
You had a crack and that in itself is a success.
I personally believe you took too many km in per day and do 50km and build up. Hills n heat will kill ya in Thailand.
You will be back and all the better for it.
Should have used an e bike . It's easier in the heat and hills . 80km on an e bike is fine and you can charge over night .
Cycling on a highway is a no no too dangerous and boring . Nothing wrong with having a few rest days . Doing 140 km is like a tour de France stage !
Cycling at night anywhere is extremely dangerous .
I have cycled a lot in Thailand and the east and it's ok if you prepare properly
I cycled from Bangkok to Chiang Mai about a year ago. BUT it was with a guided cycle tour. We and our kit were transported on the flat unavoidable main roads so we only cycled the nice sections. It was with the Thai company Spice roads. You definitely made the right choice, cycling on busy main roads with heavy traffic is a no no. Well done for what you did achieve! Best of luck with whatever's next will be watching !
Awesome series Paddy!! Thankyou again for some more great videos. I've had heat stroke in Thailand and it was horrible. Crazy how quickly it can knock you down completely. Definitely taught me a few things. So good to see the process you went through to get to a place of deciding to do the sensible thing. So real and raw!! Adventures dont have to be all about what happens on the outside. Seeing how other people handle their inner process under stress isnt something we get to see often. Well done darling!! Excited to see what youre going to bring us next time. Thankyou again....your'e an inspiration!!❤🙏
As a cyclist myself in Thailand, I always use the K sport sachets of electrolyes, as the gatorades and M sport drinks are packed with sugar out here. K sport is in powder form and can be carried in pack and added to you water.
Great job mate. We are not here just to see you finish the line we are here to experience your journey. What happened in this video is just part of it. Its life, its never a straight a line, we sometime need to take a different route. Thanks for keeping it real.
Well done Paddy! You made the right decision and showing your struggles in such a candid, human way makes this one of your best videos yet (and there is a lot of competition). Definitely not a failure - you gave it your best and have an invaluable life experience to show for it, as well as an amazing video!
This episode also reminded me of one of my favourite real-life films of all time; "Janapar: Love on a Bike". Tom goes through the same mental and physical battles as you. If you haven't seen it, I can't recommend it enough - it's truly inspirational!
This was a great effort. You didn’t fail. Looking forward to the next journey.
So happy to see you getting on the train at the end!..i knew from the beginning you would struggle but you did yourself proud,a cracking effort and definitley not an L!
Many lessons learned for next time,west to east sounds like the right route!
Much love and well done!
What a beautiful video.. tough but you kept it real and it showed. Always another adventure around the corner eh.. cheers dude
You did the wise thing Paddy. All things considered, it would have been tougher than necessary and could have ended in tragedy. I totally think you did the right thing.
Thanks 👍
Know when to hold ‘em know when to fold em, is how the song goes, and you’ve made the right choice. It’s been eye opening for sure, learning is not failure in my book. It’s the journey you take, and ALL your experiences that keep many of us here! Good decisions aren’t easy. Take care and we’ll see you soon, wherever you go. Love to Miss P , she’ll help you feel better! 🙏🏻❤️
Enjoyed every minute of this series! Good job well done
I really enjoyed this series! It was great to see Thailand from a deferent perspective.
Sorry you didn’t get to finish! Don’t beat yourself up. You still managed to do something absolutely incredible.
Looking forward to your next adventure.
Smart and wise move. Lessons learned for the next adventure.
For a second attempt two tips, first of all, get a bike fit. This will help with preventing soreness such as your knee. Second of all train. What you’ve attempted is no joke and seasoned cyclists would put in months/years of training to attempt.
Really enjoyed the series. You are very inspirational, honest and brave. Never a good idea to push yourself over the limit in extreme relentless heat - you made the absolute right call. Thank you for yet another wonderful set of videos.
🥇
Well done Paddy. Better to live and fight another Day.
Love your efforts.
Well done, you haven't failed.
Umm, yes he did. And that's ok. If this is not failure, then nothing is success. I am sure not a person here reading this, has not tried something, and failed at it. If you never fail at things, how can you feel the amazing joy of overcoming it? I am sure in the future, he will succeed at something, and the feeling he gets from it will be so much better, because he lived through this.
Very good decision mate, even though you probably don't want to hear it. Many years ago I went out cycling on a blazing hot summers day (mid 30's) here in Europe, and I was an avid cyclist at the time. About 20km's from home in the middle of nowhere out in the countryside I started suffering badly from heat stroke, and I mean badly. My body gave up completely and I lost the strength to turn the pedals. It was scary as hell I can tell you. I seriously though I was on the verge of passing away. I was dizzy as hell, couldn't even stand up, and my head was spinning like a tumble dryer. By sheer luck I had stopped by a water fountain and sat there chugging water for ages in the shade until I could stand again. If it wasn't for that water fountain and the bit of shade, I've no idea what could have happened. And the worst thing was that I still had to cycle back, which was a very unpleasant experience. No doubt if I was in Thailand I wouldn't have made it with that humidity, even though it was a very sweaty day.
I really appreciate your strength and respect your practicality. You knew where to stop and that's something to admire. Good luck paddy for your future endeavours.
I am happy to see that you put your health and safety, first. I enjoyed your journey. Thank you for sharing, Paddy.
Paddy why don't you plan it properly and advertise your route and dates and let fans and supporters and locals join you . Even if people can't do all the stages they can do sections and together we could all enjoy it and support each other lad and love the blue newcastle jersey. 💙
อากาศร้อน และช่วงนี้มีฝุ่นpm 2.5 เยอะซึ่งเป็นอันตรายต่อปอดของคุณ ถ้าจะทำกิจกรรมนี้ในเมืองไทยควรรอฤดูหนาว
Yes I could see the pollution in the background of his long views towards hills and mountains and it is harder to breathe
Well done on making the right decision. You haven't failed because you tried ❤ I was truly loving this series!❤ Paddy! Well done! I'm really looking forward to the next adventure.
It's not failing in that heat & humidity. It's realising you're strengths & not making yourself poorly.
Yes yes YES!!! I am so RELIEVED you put an end to this MADNESS! You did not give up or quit! You literally humbled yourself for the sake of saving your own life and you did THE RIGHT THING. You are not weak or out of shape. Everyone’s body has LIMITS and they need to be RESPECTED. Ugh, thank god, I was so worried about you since yesterday’s video. I didn’t see another video posted in my notifications but checked your page and glad I did. I hope you will go get some IV fluids to replenish your electrolytes. I know you’ve been doing the Gatorade but still. Sending you a huge hug and hope you are resting up and nourishing your body with lots of good food and love from your lady. ❤
Dang I was truly loving this series!
Never a Lost but a learning experience. Keep up the great spirit. Rest and recover well. Cheers
Yeah, didn't seem like it was well thought through. Going in the hottest months of the year, without a good plan for a route away from the highways... But at least you tried, maybe try again in October-December, with proper training and route plan?
You haven't failed because you tried. Well done. Xx
He tried ...and failed!
You did well Paddy, glad your still alive to tell your story 👍🏻
You definitely did not give up. Shows that you are real. Love the channel. Keep going ❤❤
Heat stroke is something you really don't want to experience (if you live through it). Go home, ride the bike a lot during your regular adventures, get fit and try again in the winter (after the rains). We'll be supporting your second attempt!
Live and learn. Way too much riding for a new rider. Wrong time of year. My first thought was Thai roads are very dangerous. I am a 30 year cyclist/mtb who went to the dark side and bought a E mtb last year. Game changer. Good days use less battery, bad days use more battery. Specialized turbo Creo-2 will be my next “ gravel” bike- will carry 2nd battery- I would have a 3rd battery for possible failures on a long trip. Easily do 100km a day and have fun doing it. On those days your not feeling it- let the bike help you more. You need less ride time- more visit/ observation time. The E bike would let you take more rural/longer routes and not think about the distances so much. Glad your back in Thailand, look forward to more content.
Truly appreciate that you tried to provide us with this content. What a challenge it would be to attempt such a thing with little to no experience in such a climate. You're a brave dude. No shame in doing whats right for yourself.
This is the beauty of travel and adventures... Things don't always go to plan. Staying flexible and making changes is part of the experience. Great job documenting this NEXT LEVEL ADVENTURE. Here's to the next one!
It's too dangerous on the highway. Thai truck drivers live off Kratendaeng (red bull) or even something worse like Yaabaa. Every 8kms you'll see a truck that's overturned into a ditch.
Mainly off Kratom. Same as taxi drivers
As for you running down the middle of thailand. Open your eyes. There are fabulous scenes, trees, animals, rivers, villages with restaurants selling unusual foods , people so much unusual to a city boy, etc, etc. dont blame thailand for your short comings. But I do agree re meeting people, if you stop to see what youre missing and talk with the locals, youre missing out the mileage and your trip would take a lot longer than youve planned. As for anyone cycling 140 km, on their own, hardly stopping. Id say you entered the idea with your eyes closed. And without stopping at interest points, whats the point !
Really enjoyed this series and learning so much about Thailand, history and culture. You did great Paddy! Gave it your all and then some! We can all take away something positive from this much respect to you
You were amazing Paddy, I felt the pain and exhaustion. Extremely well done.
Can't be as bad as sitting through a Taylor Swift concert.
Hahaha yeah I was thinking perhaps he doesn't need to tell us that but then I thought.....ah Miss P 😂
Ok. Totally agree with your decision. Yes, you need to enjoy it. See and share the beauty of the country. And above all do it safely. In the future if you pick this back up planning safe travel before sunup is okay but if you’re traveling in cooler months it won’t be necessary. This is a great presentation. You made a very difficult decision. Sometimes the plan just needs to change and take a turn (phun intended)! Be safe, be well, rest up! Cya out there! Great quote…keep moving forward 👍
thanks a lot Becca
Much respect mate. I get shagged out walking around in the heat of Chiang Mai, Bangkok etc for a few hours. What you tried to do was far beyond that.
You did not give up. You follow your gut. Safety first. We are so proud of you 👏🏻
4 errors
1. Not fit or experienced enough
2. Poor planning
3. Your bike is slow
4. You need to set the seat high
Go west to east next time
A very compelling story, keeping us riveted.
Coming up on 60 trips around the sun this December, I have learned (the hard way) that there is no such thing as failure. It doesn't exist in reality, only inside our head. Reflecting back on times such as these, when I felt like I had failed, I see quite clearly that these moments made me stronger and wiser and more compassionate. In other words, $hit like this makes you more fully-human and the wisdom is worth every drop of tears and sweat.
Next time (and there will be some kind of next time), you'll come up with different strategies or different goals...and I can't wait to watch as you tackle those. Good job, mate!
Wise words Beverly ⭐️
i do my fair share of Suffer-fest on 2 wheels, but lately i've kept things down to 50 a day and lots of rest-stops, some lasting for three days if the bungalow and scenery warrant it. my equipment is top shelf and fits like a glove but i still push up a lot of hills. just finished nong knai to ubon down the meykong. there are places to sleep every few kms, no need to push it. quite often if the wind is unfavorable, i'll just rest that day, or change routes...forget the destination, it's the journey that counts.
you made the right choice Paddy - what an amazing effort. You should be proud. You listened to your inner voice - your gut instinct. Amazing
Hey Paddy, Thankfully you listened to your body! You didn't fail in my eyes. You made the right decision. You may chose to pick up the adventure in the next few months although you'll then have to deal with the wet season. No matter what this was worth the effort. I think I speak for all your loyal subscribers in saying that we all appreciate the effort you put into this. Safe travels Paddy. I Look forward to your next adventure. Cheers, Stef
I've done several bike trips, all carrying full gear and camping out. A positive attitude and appetite for adventure are no substitutes for proper research and planning. You set yourself up for failure by not doing that. Lesson learned, I hope.
Paddy. I love your videos. But this trip was doomed from the start. You need to be in good physical condition. You might want to follow “exploring by bicycle”. Claire is an amazing woman who bicycles all over the world. Her journeys are an inspiration to all bikers. I look forward to seeing your next biking attempt where you finish with a smile on your face
Nothing to do with fitness, all to do with planning.
A great effort you did more than most would have done. Loved the challenge and the concept.
Pick it up again for the leg south of Banglok.
So proud of you. The road will always be there for you.
I'm glad you decided to call it quits. It looked terrifying, when you were cycling on the Highway in the dark. 😳
yeah...stupid idea...
California law. when it is dark out, don't wear dark clothing. bicycles must have this equipment: a front lamp w white lamp visible 300'. A built-in rear red reflector, solid red light visible 500'. A white and yellow reflector on each pedal, cycling's shoes or ankles, visible 200'. A white and yellow on the front wheel, and a white and red reflector on the rear wheel, or reflectorized tires.
You failed to make a proper research.
We understand uou paddy , I think it's amazing that uou made it this far , we the real supporters are still here for you and looking forward to your next adventure ❤ more power to you bro
You made the right decision and showed common sense, good judgement and strength of character. You also show strength is so honestly expressive the challenges and frustrations. Bravo!
Drama queen 😂😂😂😂
You've already achieved so much most of us can't do! Hats off to you, Paddy! Keep it up!!
Paddy you are so brave! Love your determination and honesty. You made the right choice! Be safe and be healthy!
What you have done is so incredibly amazing. You're my hero my friend. 😊👍🙏🇹🇭
Well done Paddy; you still can do it! 🙏
You are amazing! Good job. You should be proud of yourself 💯.
I was riding on my bike this time last year, the heat is really no joke, good to see you make a right move.. can't wait to watch your new series..
I was worried you were going to carry on Paddy, that would have been crazy. You articulate so well, even in times of massive stress and thanks for being so real.
You gave it a go Paddy. Relax, chill, recover, regroup and look forward to your next adventure.😊
Respect Paddy - Just back to Ireland from a month in Northern Thailand. That heatwave was major intense. Look forward to next adventures 😊
Paddy you absolute LEGEND!! What you describe as devastating I take as inspiration for my Relay for Life, walking challenge today. Your content is inspirational and the reason why I'm taking a month off later this year and start my own motorcycle journey around Thailand. Love ya Brother 😃
That which does not kill us makes us stronger. Inspire us with more challenges, most of us talk about testing our limits, you are doing it. Be proud young man 😊
Great series. Unreal fortitude. The correct decision. Always next time mate.
You did amazing, very proud of what you have accomplished. You did what was right for you and your health. It isn't a loss, it's an achievement.
You made the right decision. I remember you announcing your mission just as we were heading into the heatwave and thinking it was crazy lol.
Plus 140km for a beginner is just too much. Given your state it was too dangerous, you made the right decision.
Good work with what you achieved
Have a safe and happy trip.❤❤🙏🙏
I had wondered about this trip in the heat. Glad you were wise enough to stop when you needed to.
followed you for years paddy on every crazy adventure around the world the ups and downs the highs and lows seeing how disappointed you were with yourself on this one nearly brought a tear to my super tough guy eye ..but im here to say dont be ..i actually feel immense pride for you paddy and you should feel it for yourself too mate ..massive love to you buddy x
You took the right decision paddy , taking care of health is of paramount importance . Looking forward to next level adventures.
Thank you for showing us what it is really like. I admire the attempt and really admire the self-honesty. TBH it looked lousy traveling those highways. I did some motorbike travel (thanks to you) and made sure to take the long ways through villages and stay off the highways. It took longer and was immeasurably better. The things I saw and people I met made the trip. In the US I just want to get from A to B. In Thailand I want what is between those two points. I will be awaiting the next Thai adventure, whatever that may be.
well done paddy, proud of u
You have done well ; I' ve learn ? a lot from your trip ❤ thank you so much ❤ your decision is the right thing you did !! wise man ❤❤❤
We are always rooting for you Paddy!!! - ralph and vani ❤
Paddy, you were very brave to attempt a cycle like this in a tropical climate. Well-done for putting together the series and more importantly surviving it to fight another day.
You succeeded in making the right decision. Sometimes you need to regroup and replan. Good luck!
You did not give up, you have one more project to pick up and to look forward to😊
Right decision based on the circumstances. Rural roads in Thailand can be your new adventure in the future.
I am glad you didnt continue your trip. I was in the area and the heat wave was crazy hot. Not many people could survive on a bike in that and I am glad you were stong enoughto stay safe. All the best to you in your future trips and vlogs. 😊
