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.

#PaddyDoyle #Thailand #Kanchanaburi
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!
I think it’s a good time to call this “The Adventures of Paddy Doyle” 😃😄
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.
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.
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. ;)
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
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!***
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.
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.
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. 🙏🙏👍
8:40 Right here Paddy is thinking "Bad news guys, the driver of this truck is giving me Covid-19 as we speak, and I'm on my way to see you" 🤣
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.
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!!
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
Safe travels Paddy. Despite the further lockdown, you always make great content.
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. 😍😍🤩🤩.
@ 9:24 I guess your high pitched Sawa-Dee-Kaa only works on animals! I burst out laughing 🤣🤣🤣
Apart from the cost of getting down to Koh Samui it's a no brainer in view of the situation. Best decision really and money comes and goes anyway so winner winner chicken dinner. Oh, congrats on the new bag.
Paddy's got a brand new bag!
If you are stuck there for a while and you run out of content to cover, maybe do a bit on some of the amazing houses for sale there such as Villa Amaze overlooking Chaweng.
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 👍
Smart. Hang out for the month. Relax and recharge. Enjoy your life and appreciate that you really have no obligations.
Yes! Thank you!
The “Breaking News” reporter is very passionate
That's his beard talking..
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!
I can see frustration in your eyes paddy. Lol, the news anchor, “fxxx you covid”, he nailed it.
Look forward to your upcoming videos. 👍
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
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 !! :)
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! 😊
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.
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🙏🏽😁
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.
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.
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 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
Well done Paddy Great decision. Can't wait to see your up and coming videos
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.
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
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!👍
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!
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.
That was a long journey but you made the right decision 😊. Koh Samui is the best! We are so happy to have you here Paddy 💚💃🕺
Go to sleep
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. 👍🏻
Do what you need to do, we're here for the ride with you, no matter where you and Dreamy go. It's all about the journey, not the destination!
Was a very smart move Paddy. Our opinion is irrelevant. A month in paradise = great content mate. Best wishes from Australia 🇦🇺🙏
Great vlog! Glad you made it to your destination. Enjoy your stay!🤙😎
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
I think you did the right thing - worse case scenario you have a bit of a holiday :) Stop second guessing yourself and enjoy your time in paradise. Loving the "Dreamy News" by the way!
2000 baht more than expected!? Give yourself a hand shandy a few nights and your even.
🤣🤣🤣
That comment 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣👍
Lmao
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?
Smart
Paddy and Dreamy get a well deserved break!
Win win ❤️enjoy and make it count
I just had to get a Rapid Antigen test to travel from Surrathani to Chompon. As of last night everyone entering Chompon province must provide proof negative test results up to 72 hours prior. 3 hours in the hospital and 1000B.
Safe travels.

Paddy you did the right thing. Better to be safe than sorry! You are staying in a lovely Hotel, you have people around you that you know. Life ain’t that bad!
Haha, the Simon Hill dramatics. 🤣 perfect addition.
Haha thanks ☺️
100% the right thing to do, better to get out before it all flares up and worst outcome is you show us more of Samui and catch up with friends! Sounds good to me - stay safe!
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 !
When I was there for the first lockdowns last year, I made the decision to go from Bangkok to Pattaya, my issue was I ended up stuck in lockdown for two months in a condo that, although nice was only really close to 7-11 and a beach but not much else.
My friends were in Bangkok and I ended feeling really isolated. My thought was that Pattaya would be less locked down because there weren't many if any tourists left in Pattaya at the time and since Pattaya has is run by its own rules the restrictions wouldn't be too bad.
With the new delta-variant running over the world, I am pretty sure you have made the best decision possible. Here in the Netherlands in a week we went from about 500 infections a day to almost 7000 in a week! And they’re starting to close down some things again. So, enjoy a month in a beautiful place, this was the best decision possible right now!
And nobody dying, what a load of nonsense
@@kippsguitar6539 I didn’t say anything about dying. Yet. But thank you for enlightening us.
That's also because the stupid 20 years olds needed to break the rules by copying eachother QR code and the clubs not checking probarly.
@@kippsguitar6539 Scamdemic to crush freedom people are sheep slaves to the masters
Man, I really feel for you. Sounds like you've got so many issues to deal with and have been dealt a rough hand with this global pandemic. I'm hopeful the Thai government and medical experts will consider your needs before making any major decisions. You don't deserve this upheaval and anxiety. If only they would stop worrying about their poor citizens that you manage to masterfully condescend and think more of what's really important. Stay happy champ... we are all counting on that!
Well said. What a pretentious entitled tosser he is.
Ferry, beaches, friends and about 750 km to go. Easy to guess where you're going. Good choice. Glad you made it.
Every video you make has at least one “wow” out loud Paddy. Today’s wow out loud was coming off the boat on dreamy
What a dilemma, it's best to be where you feel happy and safe.
As a taxi driver who has agreed a long distance deal with passengers, its fair to say that the driver is doing the passenger as much of a favour as the passenger is to the driver, whether the passenger believes it or not.
Fair is always fair, on both sides. It's good to keep that in mind.
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
Good, interesting video Paddy. You made the right call. The worry is what happens after 1 month.
Btw...love the news broadcast!
geez that air bnb place looks like paradise how could you not have a great time there
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
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
You are right to follow your instincts whether lockdown or no lockdown!
Glad to be back in Samui :)
please go get tested about a week from when you took the 10 hour ride with the guy who had covid. and don't go nuts visiting people until you're tested clean.
you can see on Instagram he has sadly already met with a lot of friends
@@adayinmylifethailand they closed down intra-provincial travel to stop the spread of covid. sadly he seems oblivious to this. hopefully he's not infecting people right now.
Its far better, to ride out the storm somewhere you feel comfortable and safe than somewhere you dont know too well.
Good decision mate. You will be happy on Samui regardless. If you get down to Lamai I'd love to see some footage. Remember this trip is yours and you do what you think is right. Stress less Paddy!
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. ♥️🙏🏻
Chill out, you have made a good decision.
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
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.
Woot! Amazing video! You never let me down with your creative work!
When the driver coughs 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Because we watch on our tv rarely comment but watching this one now reminded me to come and comment. Samui is definitely the place to go, do a meet up with Chris! We are hoping to get back to Samui before the year is out, the last time we were there was March 2020 and left as the world descended into lockdowns. Keep doing these!
Being a season traveller yourself, any decision you made is based on your intuitions. A good judgment call indeed at the end of the day.
Objectively, you did what your heart tells you rather than rationale. Well done Paddy
Mr back in 1999 for some reason me and my family booked 2 Vans from Bangkok to Lampang cost around 18k baht, one for luggage and one for us. We paid for both drivers lunch, dinner etc and fuel. This was after we got a friend to drive us to Bangkok from phuket on a 18 wheeler tree truck, which we shared the cab with the driver and all our stuff tied down with the trees. Was a adventure for a 11 year old, parents needed and wanted to save money. Trip took three days from phuket to lampang.... 😉😬
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.
Paddy who really cares if it takes longer to complete your trip ? just means we get to watch more great footage of Thailand
We are in a strict lockdown in HCMC right now. Even dog owners are not allowed to walk their dogs under current restrictions. I would give anything to be in Koh Samui now, it looks amazing!
12 hours with a sneezing and coughing driver, let's hope it's not that kind of symptom especially from a dark red zone. I wish I still be able to catch your videos update after the next 10 days.
That wasn't that bad of a deal, me and my wife just had to pay 15000 Baht to go from Bangkok to Chiang Mai 10 hours in a van, after our flight was cancelled.
Rock us Paddy! We're living vicarious through you now! Enjoy Samui!
Let's hope they will get the 'situation' under control soon. I see so much suffering here in Thailand every day.
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. 🙂
You haven’t jumped the gun. Your in a place of comfort now also you got to put yourself first in situations like this. You have absolutely made the right decision. If the role was reversed and you stayed then got locked down, you would have been thinking I should have gone when I had the chance. Kanchaburi will always be there :)
We all care about you Paddy and Dreamy of course :) I think all your subscribers are happy that you made this decision
A beach, dreamy, twisty roads, and some great food. I'll switch with you. You start Monday at 7am. ;) I think you made the right decision. Enjoy! 🧘🏻❤️☮️
Good choice! We have been to Koh Samui too, and we have friends there too! You’ll have a great time there! Take care!🛴🛵❤️📸
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.
Paddy. Remember the cave that had all the guys with rifles? You trusted your gut and later you found out some stuff happened. So... I think you will find that trusting your gut on this decision is for the best also. Most of all stay safe and stay healthy. Part of a good mental health regime is knowing when to stop second guessing yourself. Its good to double (and sometimes triple) check yourself, but I spent too many years wasting my time on the "what-ifs" and came to realize that I could continue living with constant worry and anxiety over the "what-ifs..." or I could use that energy to build upon bettering my quality of life and those around me. Be safe.
Love your newsman’s rant. Lol 😆
And your driver is a boss driving 20 hours! 👍 Wow.
I'm so happy you're back in Samui Paddy! I already made up my mind that Samui is where I want to live when I get to Thailand. I decided this weeks ago but I had no idea you'd be back. So cool! Enjoy little brother! Stoked for you! 😎🤙
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!
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.
Thanks for share a great video hope not the situation get to bad 😀🙏
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!
Absolutely hlarious video one of your best, your mate is well funny too. Do more silly videos like this please please please. Lots of Childish humour please too. Love it ♥️
Go get a covid test. That guy 100% looked ill and I've heard that cough before. No Bueno.
You did the right thing. Looking forward to the island adventures. Can you stay off the beer? Stay safe 🙏
I think erring on the side of caution is always a safe bet. Now you can be safe and also show us all the good places to go on the island!
A really good decision Paddy, I could definitely feel your relief when you left the ferry and started driving to your Apartment.
