Love Koh Samui and watching this vlog makes us feel like going back to visit again & rent the little house you’re at...The price is incredibly cheap and thanks for sharing! Glad that you’re traveling to all these places in Thailand........feels like living vicariously through you😉
Lilly an expat on you tube lives in Koy Suomi. “ Lilly’s expat life” she owns a restaurant there as well. She’s a super sweetheart . Her and watt would be a great resource of things to do and places to eat that are open!!!💖
@@mohdradzi5072 Yes, Lilly is my daughter and she introduced me to your channel! She would love to meet you. She lives in Mae Nam. She has lived in Koh Samui for 7 or 8 years.
What a surprise to see Flora and Note on your channel,,,, actually your channels are the only ones I watch from Thailand,,,, wholesome people you just want to give a hug to.... Next Level...!
Hi Paddy loving your journey I've been trying to do a tour of the whole of Thailand over the last 9 years I visit for a month at a time twice most years. I haven't even scratched the surface. good luck
Just a few minutes in... glad your camera is fixed/auto focus. Koh Samui is where I’ve love to live Oneday. Two of my favorite you tubers are there. Flora and Note. I hope you visit them. 😊
Hi Paddy, Koh Samui was my least favourite destination in Thailand. I stayed at Chaweng Beach and a walk along the main road was a barrage of massage or tailor every few feet. It was unrelenting and really pissed me off. The airport was probably the highlight for me, not just for leaving but it's a beautiful laidback oasis of calm. I arrived by night train/ferry from Bangkok. Khao Lak looked AMAZING. Thank you for that experience!
Hi Paddy, I love your adventure video's, the quality of the image is stunning, you do not need to change your camera, even if you shoot your video on an old cellphone camera I would still watch and like your content. The story, the presentation and the location is million times better than losing focus for few seconds here and there. Please save your money. People who threaten to unsubscribe are simply rude and not deserving of your free content.
A few vlogs ago you were in the Andaman Sea and now you're in the Gulf of Thailand! I feel like I can virtually go anywhere in Thailand by just selecting the vlog of that area. Love Phi Phi, and love Samui. You're covering it all! I am so glad I subscribed! Top content, Paddy!
Glad you got the replacement cameras but I would have kept watching anyway! I am amazed at the newer technology... we are so vain that we need the camera to fix all of our flaws! I personally LIKE seeing all of the REAL parts... puffy eyes on early mornings (or after too much to drink the night before), sunburnt skin (you Brits should own stock in suncream! ;) ) etc etc. I know that I for one come for the reality of TH-camr life - not the glossed over, 'dewy' complected, never have a terrible day life that some seem to think we want to see. Thailand is already proving to be almost complete perfection (in the Southern region!) Thank you for continuing to be real!
I am owner of the blue house . I just watched you video and want to say " Thank you very much" for giving me good comment . Next time if you coming back to Samui please let me know . Would like to make you nice Thai dinner for you :D
Hi Paddy, fellow Brit here from Khon Kaen and subscribed after seeing you on Johnny's channel. Must have watched well over 2hrs of your posts back to back yesterday. Some great vids with some cracking one liners you drop in them. Keep up the good work mate.
I Love Samui, lived there for 2 years - tip, just as you headed first time in Lamai to the beach - these 2 seafood restaurants have brilliant food, and the nightlife in Lamai is quite neat to the one in Chaweng but I much prefer Lamai. Go out and discover Samui it is a beautiful place, except Chaweng - I do not like it...but discover yourself you will see what I refer to. I will not spoil you where to go and where not - you are an experienced Thailand traveler, I am sure you will make your way! Love your channel, keep it coming - thank you and CHOK DEE! By the way, the new cameras work amazingly with much better video quality! For the accommodation, you are extremely lucky, as Lamai isn't cheap anymore and to find a place like home, including everything (except electricity) for this price is an achievement on its own! Great place. (of course, some have to consider it is cheap now because of Covid and a big decrease of Tourists in Thailand) - 600 THB a day - unbelievable price value rate!!! - usually impossible in Lamai...except you rent a small house for a long time) Samui has never a bad vibe - it is, even it is touristic an unbelievable nice island, where my family and myself who are living in the north of Thailand still travel every year to, as I really like the Lamai area and do not like the vibe of Pattaya...
I have a very old Yamaha Nouvo and my friend Paul has helped me out when it needed fixing. It does need to clean or replace the carby now. but it keeps running if I stay under 50 KPH. My local bike shop fixes everything!
Well, Paddy, I totally get the day to day challenges that you face and potentially might face. On the one hand, you could have a backup camera, backup microphone, backup everything, but then having everything backed up you are then carrying an extra 4 or 5 kilos of equipment. I honestly didn't, haven't noticed equipment glitches... I think you are doing a great job week after week. You are keeping it fresh, interesting, and responsive, considering the ever-present Covid environment...
Loved this video! I spent time in Lamai twenty some years ago and have so many great memories of the people and the beautiful surroundings. I even met some local girls who had a cute little house just like yours!!
Gday Paddy, lamai is an old favourite of mine, its always had a great beach as you have already found out, its amazing to c how u can still move around from province to province during covid, cheers
We are subscribed to you and Flora & Note! We started our channel here in Spain after taking your Skillshare class😁. We almost bought that camera too….glad to see it works good! Cheers🍻
I think that was the Bamboo Restaurant where you went to the Beach . Great place for an evening meal. Another good restaurant in the area is called Moonlight Restaurant. Really nice friendly Thai Place a very good prices.
Im one of your older subscribers I went to kho Samue in 1991.great place.lamai was just dirt track roads. Only had one regi bar have fun thanks for sharingxx
I'm here for the ride from beginning to end! No need to go broke on cameras until your ready to upgrade financially. As your channel grows so will your production budget and I'm fine with it all. Love the channel
Yo!!! I was about to message you asking when you would be by Samui... I just left and flew back to the US yesterday, so I just missed you. Enjoy the visit. I was there for 6 weeks of very relaxing time. I can not wait to see your fishing video. I was going to take you fishing too. Be sure to hit the sunset at Nathon Pier... and an early morning visit to Crystal Bay (Lamai) is worth it too. Also, Doctor Frogs has 2 for 1 pizza and they are serving beer.
Great to see this vlog, I've been to Samui twice now en route to Koh PN and Koh Tao. Only saw a small part of Samui, namely The Samui Mermaid and surrounding beach. We landed in the tail end of a cyclone in January 2019. That was an experience. Keep the videos coming!
Looks really beautiful. Great video as always. Was thinking of you this afternoon as we stumbled upon the beautiful blue sinkhole pool that you visited whilst undertaking your 7-eleven challenge in Krabi. The best wrong turn I think we have ever taken. Keep up the good work. Ranong for us tomorrow. Stay safe.
Paddy I just subscribed to your channel on advice of Chad (CBMedia) an my mate jonny (there is something happening) I already like it because yr going to my home island of samui. Looking forward to your next adventure. Stay safe and healthy bro🙏🙏🙏
Your new Sony camera is great for night filming! And you're right much easier to carry than the Panasonic one. Dana from Idea Studio, Chris who sent you some of his famous "awkward" t-shirts, now Flora & Note on Koh Samui: you are meeting with my favorite Thailand TH-camrs one after the other😉. I love it!
Lamai is like my home away from home, if you get a chance visit speed bar and lounge, great spot, my friend opened this about a year ago, weekends usually has live entertainment, ask for sanapot, she is a local of samui, she might be of some help, its in lamai,
❤️❤️❤️ Paddy me and my wife are absolutely in love with you. You such a rare sight on this cheese youtubers sea. Keep on going with your adventure ,way to go!!! And we don't care about your camera. We only watch your videos because of you and greate content you put in. Please continue to share your fillings with us. Stay positive. Love from Israel🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱
Hiya Paddy, always enjoyable content. Good vibes. Great food. Loving the little blue house, a lovely place to entertain. That is a crazy price for your stay. Thank you for sharing. Have a great week. Stay safe. Take care.
Lol Paddy you got a new camera and you used one of my comments lol (my kids that was hilarious). The ZV1 is a great little camera for vlogs. Now you have the ZV1 no excuse for not shooting in 4K! It does crop the image a bit though, so you would need one of those extension pole things. I use my ZV1 all the time. Use Cini tone for best image Cine 2, but you would need to color correct in post. Keep the videos coming mate, loving it.
@@TheWorldnUs they make a world of difference. I am not certain if you are familiar with polarizing filters but once you put it on, you only need to twist it 90 degrees if you do not want the polarizing effect. It should rotate 360 once you screw or clip it on.
@@arnoldbailey7550 thanks 🙏 For my DSLR I’ve ordered one that is a combination ND filter and Polarisation filter. We also have the DJI Pocket 2. I think I’ll have to choose between either an ND filter or polarisation filter for that camera. Don’t think I can use both at once. Hopefully it works out 🤞
I wish I had video of my ferry ride to Koh Samui in 1987 for comparison. You can imagine the changes. Oh, and that was the only option, no commercial airport back then.
Been going to Lamai since the early 90's on a regular basis and it looks like a Ghost town compared to what it normally is like... Still the best beach on the island in my humble opinion, where you went on the beach was about where I stayed first and it was in a Bamboo hut basically with a Matress, Mozzy net and a fan all for the princely sum off 50thb a night which was about £1.25 at the time, my hut was 20 steps from the water and it was an amazing time to be there, still love visiting although its about 4 times the size now!
Paddy, Dana seems like a gentle giant(good heart), I see him on Chris' s vlogs, If I ever meet him on my ventures over in the future, the drinks are on me
Enjoy your time in Koh Samui & I recommend you visit my friend Rob who runs the Viper Room. Go along the Beach Road until you come to the Holliday Inn Hotel and turn into that Soi, he is just opposite. You will be able to get fed & watered there and he is a mine of information, also it will be good content for your video series.
Thank you Nigel, I see Paddy, you are staying in my road, about 80 metres from my Bar & Restaurant " The Viper Room". Just turn right, from your bungalow. It would be nice to meet you.
I just love what your doing, and also the camera loves you:) Been a Thailand entusiast for more than 20 years, and Im planing to retire there in just a few years time. Im from Norway btw! All the videos your making are so good, makes me feel that Im there:) and you show us a lot of nice places...and food!!!! Please continue your journey for a looooong time🙏🤗
Great episode again and the focus is right there where it should be ;) The Sony you got is very good one, just be careful with the retractable lens, you should keep it very clean, sand or some dirt can jam it.
Great to see another episode.... When You go back to mainland.... there is a tiny..... very tiny island ca 20 km south of Donsak. Koh Rat. We stayed a couple of times there. There is a homestay by the local teacher (the one and only) - her name is Kru Nit. She makes great seafood, and can arrange boattrips to find the pink dolphins. We had a great time watching the sunset while eating perfect seafood. I mentioned earlyer, that when You go North... If You go trew Bang Sappang Noi area - By the beach Bang Burd (Berd) we would love to pay a meal by a friend we have there. He has a restaurant there. Sorry my english - we are danish.
Love the Sony Zv1! We had the same trouble trying to find one in Italy, went to like 10 shops that didn't have it. Worth it in the end, can really see the quality boost!
Hi Paddy. Just Subscribed, Have been a long time sub of Flora and Note. Look forward to seeing more of Koh Samui, it's one of my favorite spots in Thailand. 🙏😎
Nice video specially next one is with fishing I guess ?can’t wait,been 16 months now not able to travel to Thailand cause of things are now enjoy your time there.
paddy didn't know you were looking for a camera, can check out youtube videos on the Fimi palm 2 ( under 200 usd ) n the DJI pocket 2 handheld gimbal cameras (come with tripod too) as possible future backups .palm 2 has 340 mins batt life n will be quite a value buy. Can compare prices on Lazada n elsewhere to get the best deal, take care
Awkward is good in these crazy times and I prefer videos that's not all slick n shiny. Times have changed and your videos bring so much joy to those stuck at home, miles away from any beach or jungle 😘
We are going to Koh samui sandbox in a few weeks. Do you have any recommendations on an area to stay that’s laid back but access to markets,food, and exploring the island (or which island between Koh panhang and Koh tao)
Really looking forward to this segment of the adventure Paddy. Nice little blue house! You have to get back and find out what fruits those were. I had the feeling they are a type of lime but would like to know for sure.
Hi Paddy. Great video. Love the little blue house. We are in Koh Samui aswell. The prices for property rentals is so low at the minute. We just posted a video yesterday. We got a three bed house for only 750 THB a day. Let me know if you fancy a coffee or beer while you are here. :-)
Was waiting to hear what camera you bought, while thinking 'its gotta be a Sony, with that auto focus'. Good choice. I bought a ZV1 earlier this year, after a ton of research. Watching this episode... the quality is 2 thumbs up.
Hey PD, In this episode you talk about how you got a new camera I'll see it's a Panasonic Lumix. You have great video quality with the lumix. I only have the basic lens that came with the camera, I'm just curious what lens are you using? Please

You still need a polarize filter. Takes the glare off the water and the sky will stop looking white. (Less than 25USD)
We have the same problem. Literally just ordered some last week. Can’t wait to test them out.
@@TheWorldnUs they make a world of difference. I am not certain if you are familiar with polarizing filters but once you put it on, you only need to twist it 90 degrees if you do not want the polarizing effect. It should rotate 360 once you screw or clip it on.

Try the waterfall ...the road is steep we did it with a hired Jimmy..bit scary lol.stayed Mira Mare on beach near your place.
paddy didn't know you were looking for a camera, can check out youtube videos on the Fimi palm 2 ( under 200 usd ) n the DJI pocket 2 handheld gimbal cameras (come with tripod too) as possible future backups .palm 2 has 340 mins batt life n will be quite a value buy. Can compare prices on Lazada n elsewhere to get the best deal, take care
Watched a few videos from Flora & Note recently. Seem like a nice couple.
Living the dream life vicariously through your videos! Cheers!
I love Samui! Have eaten many times at the restaurant on Lamai Beach on the right as you walked onto the beach in the video. Enjoy your stay!
Thanks 👍😊
Awesome video. Keep up the good work
Awkward is good in these crazy times and I prefer videos that's not all slick n shiny. Times have changed and your videos bring so much joy to those stuck at home, miles away from any beach or jungle 😘
Excellent work Paddy your content trumps camera quality mate, cheers!
You are next next level! Keep going paddy.
That Air BnB looks very homely and kind Host to arrange all the stuff in the Kitchen👌😂
Looking forward to your fishing with Flora & Note !
Check out ban talignam Paddy the virgin coast proper island vibes, three sisters good for veggie food a little expensive
We are going to Koh samui sandbox in a few weeks. Do you have any recommendations on an area to stay that’s laid back but access to markets,food, and exploring the island (or which island between Koh panhang and Koh tao)
We follow Flora and Note already because they know Carey Away (and her gorgeous family) who we also follow.
We also love Ken Abroad x
Really looking forward to this segment of the adventure Paddy. Nice little blue house! You have to get back and find out what fruits those were. I had the feeling they are a type of lime but would like to know for sure.
Yeah possibly 😃
Paddy, when you the best sunset views on Samui, let me know. Can meet up for beer and sunset. Keep up the great work
Wow! good deal on the little blue house!
Hi Paddy. Great video. Love the little blue house. We are in Koh Samui aswell. The prices for property rentals is so low at the minute. We just posted a video yesterday. We got a three bed house for only 750 THB a day. Let me know if you fancy a coffee or beer while you are here. :-)
Thanks for the offer guys. I'm actually on Koh Phangan now
@@PaddyDoyle. ah nice. Have a great time. :-)
Was waiting to hear what camera you bought, while thinking 'its gotta be a Sony, with that auto focus'. Good choice. I bought a ZV1 earlier this year, after a ton of research. Watching this episode... the quality is 2 thumbs up.
Also. The ending to this episode = why we like your videos. Just keeping it real👍
Great video, I also watched your friends TH-cam channel as well Flora and Note, Have fun at Lamai beach.
Yet another excellent video Paddy.
I think your blogging is the best one what I seeing so far. Take care of yourself. Sawatdee kha.
Hey PD, In this episode you talk about how you got a new camera I'll see it's a Panasonic Lumix. You have great video quality with the lumix. I only have the basic lens that came with the camera, I'm just curious what lens are you using? Please
Loving your Adventures Paddy
I always skipped Koh Samui to spend more time on my two favourite islands next door. Now I can see what I skipped! #noregrets!!
Wow. The island looks very nice. I wish I could visit Thailand when the pandemic is over. Thank you for sharing this! :)
Thanks for visiting
You need to visit silverbeach👌 just east of you, its the most beutiful beach on samui👍❤
