Sometimes travel plans change. Today we have to make a plan as travel in Thailand becomes more limited. New rules of lockdown, inter-provincial travel bans, and the spread of the virus are causing harm for everyone in this country, but now we experience the restrictions first hand.
What will happen to Paddy Doyle and Next Level Adventures? Where will Dreamy go next? All these answers and more in this video.

This was a definite no brainier , the absolute correct decision Paddy. What were the alternatives, stay get locked down then get depressed for not going with your gut decision. I can only see upside to it. You're in a place where you will be mentally happy. You can still make videos and do your thing. And i guess with the incredible amount of travelling you've done, it'll be a good little break to refresh your mind body and soul. Count this time as a blessing. Well done on making this right decision. Enjoy mate and cheers from Australia, Mike.
I totally agree. Good move, Paddy!
In Canada, a 10 hour taxi ride (without a motorcycle in the back) would cost about $1500. Consider yourself very fortunate!
All the best, Paddy... 🥂
Can't be tat expensive.
From Canada! Can confirm This!
Maybe even more!
In Ireland similar to Canada . .Despite the strong Baht ,accommodation ,travel and eating out are still super cheap in Thailand .
***Try $4,000 in LA!***
I think it’s a good time to call this “The Adventures of Paddy Doyle” 😃😄
All things considered, I've learned over the past 18 months that no matter what happens while I'm living abroad, it could be worse. I could be sitting in my old job, looking at spreadsheets, overwhelmed with emails, doing 14 hour days, stressed out of my mind. I'm always grateful. 😉 ...from the look of it, you'll be fine. You're accomodation looks awesome.
Good attitude, enjoy
It's all about perspective, mate. You're also quite the musician, too. ;)
Welcome to Samui! Been here a while now, love it! Feeling both fortunate & grateful to be here
Hey sidetriple. How bout meet up with paddy n share your visits n does n donts.
Hey Tom. Paddy knows his way around just fine. Likely bump into each other (Samui like vlogger isle suddenly lol;) Chris is around too I see, all good.
So happy to see that you’re back in Samui! Can’t wait to catch up 😍☺️ over-reaction or not, it’s always better to be safe than sorry!! ☺️
Smart bro! This one might get ugly! You chose wisely!
Is everyone in friggin Samui right now? !
Will we be seeing 2 passports one dream reunited with one passport one dreamy?
Hope to see a video soon with all you TH-camrs on Samui🙏🤩
@@mariaostlund2592 Be careful what you wish for 😜
Samui is the best choice right now.
Great call Paddy. You did say at the start of the journey that you may have to take a break at some time just to give yourself some rest. Look it as a chance to regather your thoughts and make the most of your time to plan and make it an even better trip than you would have done if you had carried on. So we all gain from this enforced break. Everyone's a winner. Winner winner, chicken dinner!!
I think it's awesome to have a spanner thrown in the works every now and then in this series. Not dismissing the inconvenience to you or the people of Thailand. Foe that I feel very sad. But it's so real this way. Keep up the good work Paddy. I love watching your videos.
Safe travels Paddy. Despite the further lockdown, you always make great content.
Very wise decision Paddy. Don't sweat it. Koh Samui was a brilliant idea and thankfully you were close enough to get there in one day. Try to enjoy paradise, and don't worry...we will enjoy whatever content you post.
Just so you know, I don't watch your posts just for sightseeing. I enjoy listening and learning about you, your viewpoint and love of the country, people, food and friends. You are awesome bro!
BTW, I'm a longtime traveler to Thailand for over 40 years, lived the a few years back in 1970s....😁, yeah I'm old now, and married to Thai for 47 years. In USA. Waiting to be able to come back there. So we return vicariously thru your videos.
So good luck, enjoy Samui and stay safe. 🙏🙏👍
Just my 2 cents. Everyone is saying great decision and it probably will be in the long run and for your mental health Paddy. However, whilst the rest of the world can't even travel within their own country and lockdown rules get stricter. One of your videos you say it's a privilege to travel. Be grateful that you are traveling around Thailand and able to catch up with friends. Some of us live Vicariously through these videos since we can't be in the situation you are in. Keep on vlogging, stay safe Paddy!
U said that life's pretty normal in Samui ..
If u got pals there will know that's bollox
Good decision, Paddy, given the escalation in numbers. You've taken an intelligent approach, you can only base your decision on what was current, the rest is history. I move back to the UK from Da Nang, Vietnam last month (after 21 months), after their third lockdown in the city ended. UK numbers were falling and restrictions easing, now, 3 weeks later, numbers here in the UK are raising but Da Nang went into their 4th lockdown just 5 days after I left. It's just a really sad time for ppl who love travel.
Yes I'm here in Da Nang 5th lockdown and now we all have to leave so back to uk wish I
was in Thailand anyday mate good luck
Wow that was a hell of adventure and a great post! All through the video i kept thinking about some of your earlier posts - the train ride south w/Dreamy and how you had to go back to her!!! Now that must have been hell. I figured you would get through this one no problem.
Hang in there man and stay healthy. ps I can't believe that driver went back. Keep up the great work.
the adventure continues...
Ha yeah... compared to the train that was easy
I always go with "better be safe than sorry", so for me you did the smart thing.
Besides it is not going to be "wasted" since you will be enjoying maybe a quieter pace for a while, in a place you like with people you also like... take the best of it !
Smart. Hang out for the month. Relax and recharge. Enjoy your life and appreciate that you really have no obligations.
Yes! Thank you!
Dear Paddy, I am so glad you understand the situation we are all in right now in Thailand. You know you have to find a place where you can be with friends and where you are comfortble for a unknown time. I am sure you will find the right place to be for now. Stay safe.Greetings from Chiang Mai.
Well done Paddy Great decision. Can't wait to see your up and coming videos
My Son and I escaped to Dolphin Bay as there is hardly anybody here. We booked a couple of week... it is awesome and lots of places to go! Good luck Paddy..
great place to escape
God bless you, enjoy your stay
I think you made the right decision! You have become my TH-cam must see and I hope that you will continue to keep up your great videos for a very long time.
Thanks for share a great video hope not the situation get to bad 😀🙏
It's never a bad decision to just go with the flow. This is life enjoy it... We know you will make the most of it
Hiya Paddy, that was some traveling. At least you will be near friends. Whatever the outcome. The air BnB looks beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Have a great weekend. Take care.
Its a great decision. For you and for us! You looked very happy when you told the place! Looking forward to see the next video! Cheers!
Thanks so much! 😊
You did the right thing. Looking forward to the island adventures. Can you stay off the beer? Stay safe 🙏
2000 baht more than expected!? Give yourself a hand shandy a few nights and your even.
🤣🤣🤣
That comment 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣👍
Lmao
I only found your channel because I was watching various videos about housing in other countries (I'm always fascinated by just how good properties are for the price in comparison to here in the UK) , I found your house tour videos with Ice (apologies if I've spelled that incorrectly) and enjoyed those and have somehow now stuck around ! The reason for that is entirely down to your personality and on camera presenting , its top notch. Looking forward to seeing where these travels go and hope that you stay safe through it all.
And after you’ve seen the delights here go find The Budgeteers channel, you won’t be disappointed.
@@Daydreameruk Yeah just found that one after reading the My Story page here, looks like I have a lot of catching up to do !! :)
Woot! Amazing video! You never let me down with your creative work!
I can see frustration in your eyes paddy. Lol, the news anchor, “fxxx you covid”, he nailed it.
Look forward to your upcoming videos. 👍
Def. the right decision Paddy, glad you are able to get to a place you love and you have friends there, but hope you are still going to make videos. watched everyone you have done and love them all.
Stay safe and happy.
Great vlog! Glad you made it to your destination. Enjoy your stay!🤙😎
I believe you've made the right decision Paddy...you can meet your friends, make videos and reflect on what you have already done and make future plans, all in relaxing surroundings 👍
Hope you gonna have good time there and soon you resume the travel.
Smart move that you’ll surely enjoy! I’m guessing Chris from RWFU is evacuating there too. It’d be cool to see a meetup of the many TH-camrs holed up there!
I think the knee jerk reaction is perhaps motivated by a need to be around friends etc in such a time which is human after all ❤️👏🏻 keep safe
A prudent decision just to keep a low profile and see where the COVID numbers go over the next few weeks. Besides, Koh Samui is a super place, as you know, so a good decision to suspend the trip and wait it out for a few weeks and possibly months. Let's all hope this COVID BS is over soon.
Paddy, I have been watching your adventure videos from the very first one up to this one. I must say you have made quite interesting work. I just love it. I think it's quite bad to have made thousand kilometers of traveling and finally realized you had to stop traveling due to the Covid lockdown. I am glad you finally made it back to your dream adventure again. Keep doing the great work. I am following you. I am aThai southerner living in Songkhla. I have never had a chance like you to travel to so many provinces. Green with envy really. Hopefully to follow your footsteps to almost (if not all) every places you went to someday. See ya!
Good choice! We have been to Koh Samui too, and we have friends there too! You’ll have a great time there! Take care!🛴🛵❤️📸
You did good. No matter if it was the right or wrong choice, you followed your instinct and that’s perfect. Personally after seeing and commenting on your insta late last night, I’m feeling very proud of you. A well thought through, not snap decision you made with the best info available at the time. 10/10 you. And remember, don’t go silent. Enjoy what you now have after a ton of adulting.
Great call Paddy! Look forward to seeing more of Koh Samui over the next month.
Paddy, whatever you do, we'll be on board.
I think you made a good decision! Hang with friends, explore, be happy
All the best to you
Love Samui!
Have you been to Choeng Mon beach at the north east. Great for paddle board
At 08:35...Paddy is trying to get away from Covid-19 but it's actually sitting next to him in the driver's seat in the songthaew!
We're on lockdown here in Sydney Australia was counting on my favourite youtubers to supply the entertainment with some new content lol, hope the lockdown is not for long so you can get back to doing content, stay safe bro🙏🏽😁
Great 👍 video. I think it was a wise decision making sure you got to a place you wanted to be in case you would get stuck there for some time. I thought you may go back to Koh Samui among other places. I did look at the map and wow that was a far way back to go. I thought maybe Chumphon which would be a bit closer since you had lived there before. Looking at the map I probably would have gone back to Hua Hin as it seemed like a cool place with a nice beach and it wasn’t that far from where you were. You could have ridden the EFoil some more. Also i remember your place in Hua Hin looked nice I wouldn’t mind spending a few weeks there. Safe travels Paddy. 🙂
Paddy, you’re healthy and heading to a happy place. A detour on the road to Paradise isn’t so bad. I’m enjoying your Next Level Adventures with you!!! Chin up. Sabai Sabai. Cheers mate
you gotta do, what you gotta do. I was in Sri Lanka in March last year when everything started shutting down. So I had to make the decision to end my trip several days early to get out while I could. If the taxi driver is coughing and sniffling you might want to put a mask on. When the airport in BKK was shutdown several years ago due to protests I had to take a taxi from Bangkok to Phuket which was something like a 10 hour drive in order to get a flight home.
The “Breaking News” reporter is very passionate
That's his beard talking..
Just started but i know you going to samui :). Its a good decision. You get to take a much needed break.
Hey Paddy love your videos mate. Keep up the good work. Would be good to have you back in Australia
Great old song by the Tremeloes - Even the Bad Times are Good.
Not a bad theme for adventurers - like you, Paddy?
Smart move Paddy! At least you are amongst friends in a nice environment n hv an opportunity to re-energise. I was guessing you're going to Champhon. Love yr rainbow n Dolly Parton analogy! Stay safe 😍
Thanks 😊👍😊
Great Call on going to Samui Paddy!
Very good. Here in Greece, we are now at 1997 for one day. (Patty Doyle, life is about living in the moment. There is no future, there is no past.)
Great Call PAADY~ Love the Dreamy News Too ~ (TX).
You made the right choice and most of all you will get to be with friends too. Iam glad you will continue your journey in the future. You are blessed.
Take it easy paddy life a wild ride at the moment it'd unpredictable just chill out relax and keep us updated aye bro
hi, thanks for the vlog.
Totally understand your decision , you need to be somewhere with friends and good internet. We have Koh Samui and the nearby islands on our next big holiday list so are delighted to see more of it. Take care don't worry. Cath and Kevs x
Enjoy the bumps, I run 🏃🏼♀️ and I hear people curse the hills. The hills are apart of the journey. Embrace the suck and find the joy in it. Happy travels. 🥳 Great quote by Dolly, I told my kids that a few days ago. It’s been raining like a mad house here lately. ⛈ have fun Paddy and share your joys. ♥️🙏🏻
Great stuff Paddy! Keep the fantastic content up and you made the right decision. Will go back to Thailand in a heartbeat once things slowly normalise
100% the right move Paddy i think after the stress id defo be having a beer
Feels like a very smart decision and you cannot go wrong listening to your instincts. We're already on board for wherever this adventure takes you, even if you must remain in the same place for a bit - I have a feeling we'll be happy and entertained with whatever you post! Best of luck!👍
Of course it was a GREAT decision. You're in Thailand, living in paradise for a month, you're healthy & you're friends are nearby. What could be bad about that?? It's probably easy to forget because it's just your regular life... But you are ABSOLUTELY LIVING A DREAM LIFE. enjoy every minute. 😍😍🤩🤩.
Great content! Chin up. The nightmare that never ends - you are doing well to stay motivated. 🙂
You did the right thing, following your gut and the info. Damn, I just want to fly back to Chiang Mai 😂 Be interesting to see what continues to happen with the Phuket Sandbox 🤔
Beat decision Paddy, personally I had always felt that you passed through Koh Samui / Phangan too quickly
You are right to follow your instincts whether lockdown or no lockdown!
Glad to be back in Samui :)
Great vlog.....loved the high anxiety, drama and adventure. Of course it was the right decision for you. You're safe and in a good place...not just physically but you can tell mentally too. Nice calves. Be safe, have fun and hug your friends.
Good, interesting video Paddy. You made the right call. The worry is what happens after 1 month.
Btw...love the news broadcast!
Great Decision!! It's really cool what you're doing and I think we will all continue to enjoy the content regardless. We're living in wild times man, you're an ADVENTURER!
Great decision; as already mentioned- you can only make a decision on the information you have to hand at the time. Getting yourself somewhere you feel physically and emotionally safe is the best thing you can do. you have chosen wisely, looking forward to the grand tour!
That was a great episode! 😃
I noticed a BETONG Route 410 sticker on your bike. I have the same. Love the place.
I just fled to ko chang...I arrived on saturday and monday they installed roadblocks and checkpoints in trat. So lucky.
You made the right decision. Last year when I was heading back to the UK and had my third flight cancelled at check in at Bangkok airport I did the same. Not to Samui, but to Hua Hin as I love it there and have friends and there’s plenty to do. Ended up being there for five months until I could get a flight back. However I could work and most importantly feel safe and relaxed.
Enjoy your next week or however long it is, stay safe and keep up the great content 👍🏻
Stay safe? He's a young man, get realistic, stay sane
U did right,enjoy and post I will be watching.
Every video you make has at least one “wow” out loud Paddy. Today’s wow out loud was coming off the boat on dreamy
Ferry, beaches, friends and about 750 km to go. Easy to guess where you're going. Good choice. Glad you made it.
I know how you felt at the beginning of this. You need to be somewhere you are comfortable at these times. You did the right thing Paddy, stay safe and and enjoy Sumi
Stay safe paddy looking foward for your new video.. Your new fans from malaysia🇲🇾.. I miss thailand esp krabi and phuket damn much.
I hope you are doing well. It's always better to be cautious so I think you made the right decision. The Airbnb looks beautiful. You seem happy with the property and price. It's all good. Safe travel my friend.
Great content! Loved this video
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hang in there, I'm stuck in quarantine it Bangkok day 5 of 14 you did the right thing.
Good decision! Did I miss the name of the Airbnb apartment on Koh Samui? Looks awesome! I want to add it to my future travel/places to stay. THX
Yes!!! So happy you’re heading back to Samui! 🤩🥳😍
You videos inspired my trip to Thailand for a mini scooter tour of Phuket - Krabi - Samui. You decision was wise, better to be proactive that get stuck in Red Zones closer to Bangkok. Ironically, I am excited that you returned to Samui, what are the chances we cross paths? I am in Phuket Sandbox and coming to Samui later this month on my scooter. Be well and looking forward to your next video.
I found your Pareon & I’m all in. Thanks for all that you do.
I was in the same mindset as you paddy, that morning, although unsure , I bit the bullet and actually booked flights out of Koh Samui, as much as I loved the place, my condo was in Chonburi, and couldn't risk being stuck on an island for the remainder of my vacation. Definitely a good choice for a traveller like yourself though, stay safe.
safety first guy hope later all can be better for your adventure ,take care
I think you’ve made a very wise decision, sadly I think things here are going to get worse over the coming weeks. Samui is a good place to hunker down for awhile. I’m happily staying in Hua Hin and not going anywhere
I can feel your anxiety brother.
Good to see the levels reducing on the ferry.
My first video of yours I'm watching. Good video. Enjoying it.
New subscriber 😁🙏
What a beautiful place to stay the night and only 600 bhat
Paddy 10hrs with Mr 🤧 😁 ide take my chances with Dreamy
lots of thai blokes make weird noises with their throat/nasal passage. Seems to happen with middle aged blokes like the taxi driver. Anyone else notice this on their travels?
Paddy this is joy . I’m sorry all this happening to you. Please hanging in there my friend. Everything will working out for you you. Just want to let you know I pray for you to be safe and someone looking out for you.
Good decision, I’m sure your next videos will be amazing, I’m loving all the current ones, it’s a crazy time atm, good wishes, things can only get better
so happy for you mate!!
Good idea. It all looks lovely. It good. All the love
The phone ringing whilst filming as nice touch
A wise choice, Paddy. You are now officially my favorite Thailand vlogger! Nobody does it quite like you. I’m looking for your patron now. 👍🏻
Hi Paddy. Good decision - I would have done the same thing. If you have to be stuck somewhere for a while - then a place of your choosing is extremely important for your psychological well being --> and we want our beloved Paddy in tip top shape.
Also, I have some GREAT memories from Kanchanaburi and that wonderful province, in my opinion, deserves a proper Paddy Doyle Next Level Adventures tour and review. So, better to wait until things calm down.
Another great video Paddy, just remember, "This is Thailand":)
