I first went to Pai in 1993, It was just a small sleepy village back then, you could get ganja sticks for 100 baht. Like you I have been going back ever since and seen Pai grow into a must go thai destination. cheers thanks for the tour.
It’s clear that Pai has a special place in your heart. It’s genuinely such a beautiful thing to see you so thoughtfully reflective. Pai is now on my bucket list
Been there many times. I stopped using the mini buses years ago. The drivers all have a death wish and I'm prone to car sickness. Since a near death experience 10 years ago I take the safe way. I rent a large motorcycle in Chiang Mai ( 500 cc or bigger ). The Mai Hong Song loop is a ride everyone should experience.
The only place I got cold in Thailand, had to buy a jumper. Lol.. opium grandmothers up the hills, what a place. The most beautiful Thai lady I have ever met was in Pai, making hamburgers in the night markets. Love Pai so much.
Watching the man singing and playing the guitar at the end, my first thought was, "He kind of looks like a Thai Anthony Bourdain. And then it hit me - that is exactly the kind of place that Bourdain would have loved. Unpretentious. Good music. Soulful. I have put this on my list of places to visit when I move to Thailand in a few years. I hope this man is still playing there when I arrive.
Hiya Paddy, great intro. Perfect music as always. Wow, stunning views. Breathtaking. Great to see you have Dreamy back. Beautiful drone footage. That swing looks great fun. And very dangerous. 🤣😂Love the old footage. I love your videos. They always make me smile. Very uplifting. Lovely to see the kids playing. The falls are beautiful. Shame about all the mess. Walking street. Sad to see it so quiet. You are always very respectful, Paddy. Two huts. Looks like a chilled place. You cracked me up. Smoke some doobie😂 That's what my mates used to call it. Years ago. Cheese madness. Looked delicious. Your sandwich and food looked so tasty. It is nice to indulge. Excellent video. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day.
@@PaddyDoyle. 😁 I always worry I give too much away. But I really respect you and your videos. I have to tell you in my comments. 😁Love ya too😘😀 You rock
I was there in Pai for a year in 2009 to help the children living in difficult circumstances. Some times later years, back to visit some old friends in Pai. Thanks...
Hi Paddy, I love the way you get the vibe across and that's one of the reasons I follow your channel. I would like to be 20 years younger and order one of the cheese sandwiches right away while listening to the English/American music played by Thais. Keep it up. I love it and I hope to visit this village next year. Best wishes from France
I love Pai....meditation in the mornings...great coffee...great food stalls on the walking street.. fabulous live music....visits with friends....and my own tiny hut over the river...hopefully it will all come back...and I can return.
Oh man.. Pai. So many emotions watching this, and so many memories.. Really hope it bounces back to some acceptable level of its former glory soon. Really eerie to see it this way.. but absolutely gorgeous regardless! ❤️❤️
Same bro. Visted in new years. Ringing in 2014. I was in my late 20s. It was one of the best times of my life and it was beautiful. Sucks to see it this way
Another great video! You choose your background music very tastefully! You understand music. You are probably a musician! You are also aware, that when there is voice/dialogue, music should very much be in the background. 👋👏
Paddy , you are stunning good on how you carfully choose word to macth your accent with scene and backgroud music. It really keeps me calm and relax and enjoy every minutes of your presentation.
Pai is on my bucketlist. Beautiful and a great vibe. I have to visit Cheese Madness as a Dutchman. Fantastic !! Great video Paddy, well done. I am looking forward to your next episode.
You looked so relaxed and with some good food and social time. Sure makes your trip to Pai a wonderful success. I was worried when I saw that engine light come on with dreamy must have been ok. Sure did like this Vlog
The town of pai I know about them but never been there before The town doesn't look too bad at all It is lovely to see the beautiful small town from your videos I appreciate you for sharing with US all and you are an absolutely amazing young man.
Thank you Paddy Pai such a beautiful and peaceful location a must visit for me I can see your love for Pai. Your videos are so unique very uplifting and my goodness amazing. Take Care.
Guess i just keep raving about the quality of your vlog Paddy. Many of us have been flogged with stories from Pai, yet you have a way of presenting it with fresh eye's. If anyone can make hard work look damn easy, it's you. Carry on!
Went for a dinner at the restaurant you are staying in. Very nice music and atmosphere there. Ordered some Thai food and a hamburger dish. Hamburger was fine but not Thai food. It was similar situation in Pai while I was there, however, I actually quite like it. Have fun in your trip around Thailand and thank you for sharing
Some memories never fade. Last I went there 2018. It was my great time in Pai and Mai hong Song. I am watching your video and feeling. Too much missing that days in Thailand. Thanks for your videos ❤️❤️
Nice view Paddy, but be carefull with the arrows 😉 you should defenately tey it some day, it is fun to do with a few people 👊 Great to see you two together again ( Dreamy and you ) and the old vid of 2015 hahaha that was fun with the two Girls 🙌 Please please take care of your blinking light of dreamy, you always use it to turn but forget to turn it off 🧐 for your own safety mate 👊 Anyhow, as always awesome video great views and shots from your drone, thanks for your hard work editing Paddy 🙏
Love this vlog Paddy!!! You’ve been to more places in Thailand and have introduced so many wonderful & cool places in this country to someone like myself (who was born there but have no clue as to where to go) and I must say that Pai is now on my #1 place to check out first before the other places you’ve introduced me to on your videos! This place has a Haight/Ashbury (San Francisco) Berkeley vibe if not Venice Beach in Southern California….love it and cannot wait to check it out:) The restaurant at the end of this video seems to be great for when you have the munchies 😉 Thanks for sharing this 😘
Hey Paddy! Great video as always. You did a great job of updating everything going on in Pai right now. I and my Muay Thai partner met you Saturday night next to cheese madness. See you soon! Keep up the great videos
Beautiful creek/:waterfalls, and beautiful memories you had with your friends to share with , it is very special, , I really like the room you stayed at , the town is also interesting but quite indeed during the COVID outbreak . Thank you for sharing
Oh man going on the drive through Pai really tugged at my heartstrings. Remembering walking through there and seeing places oh so familiar closed. Feel super heavy when I think about it too much. Look forward to the world being more open. It's easy to forget that the world is on hold when it feels like just yourself is.
The beauty of Pai. Love it. I have to say that I fall in love with your channel now, love your positive energy. Your videos have been saving my life from missing home, thank you so much, Paddy ❤ 🇹🇭
Hello paddy . Thank you this video it’s made me happy and sad at the same time. I miss Thailand so much. I left 40yr ago I wishing one day I able to come back. It’s long story to explain. Some how you always looking sad don’t be you are in good place paddy and you do excellent job! Please take care of yourself my friend.
Thanks also here, we remember a lot - also the gone bar with pool, as our hotel was just 100 meter before that bridge then ... My daughter got more jealous now ... had a pool, and in morning we had strawberry toast with hot chocolate milk. The 'Cheese madness' I keep in mind ! - 170 km to go, without vomiting. (Sure you know that sign at the viewpoint) where next ? * Mae Hong Son or back and Chiang Rai, Mehkong ?
Another classic video Paddy! I look forward to going to Pai some day in the future when, hopefully, things are close to normal. Congrats on hitting 40k subs!! Well deserved.
Will be looking fwd to Cheese Madness on my next visit up there in the NW. Sounds and looks fabulous. My cup of tea - could be in there for breakfast, lunch and a drunken dinner.
Been coming to Pai for 19 years Seen loads of changes . I now am retired here Sorry I missed you . Pai still holds its beauty . We live 5km outside of Pai which makes it perfect to come into town when you want but live in a quiet space . It’s been a magical place I now call home
Thanks for the memories. Me and my Thai Wife were in Pai in 2018. Had a great time. I did not know there was a Chinese village. I discovered it one morning while I was out along driving a scooter. Funny, I was just telling a friend about the twisting road you have to navigate to get to Pai yesterday during breakfast and today you have a Pai Video. That grilled cheese shop looks Great.
Hallo peter again . think your video features are so good. it is noticeable that you are a teacher you have that ability to capture the listener and the viewer. hope dreamy agrees now and that you get your first syringe soon. in sweden it rains for a while too but with a temp of 13 degrees C. good luck now🙏
Cool video Paddy....Pai looks awsome....we will definately go there when things open up...it's got such a laid back mellow vibe with beautiful scenery too....it's on our list of new places to visit !
Was in Pai in 2019 it was a cool place before covid, now in the Philippines 2 and half years of since I left the UK and my adventures started pretty much in Thailand.
Bittersweet, though isn’t it? All those people and their struggling families either out of work or with broken businesses. Easy for us to say it’s better from thousands of miles away
Definitely did not expect a grilled cheese shop! Looks crazy delicious! 😁 Definitely a lot quieter than the last time but looks to still have a good vibe. Beautiful as usual!!
I was in Pai last month, stayed in a nice resort,nothing much was happening but we knew that anyway. We ride our bike through the mountains and other villages around Pai it's a beautiful place this time of the year.
Love the Content!!!!, I'm getting ready to expat to Phuket and buy into a friend's company.. going to start my own channel, hope I'm half as successful as your channel!
The river jungle walk to the waterfall is a real adventure! I'm glad to see you still have Dreamy, last episode you mentioned that you may consider a replacement. I hope you don't, you started the journey with your old Honda and should finish with it, in my opinion. Happy trails Paddy!

I love Pai. One of the place I visit every year. it has special charm that people will fall in love with it, even the town is relatively small.
Happy Monday.. My favorite little coffee shop in Pai is the Dammie Cafe. They are still open.
Thank you 🙏🏼 this is the first video I’ve watched in awhile that truly reminded me of why I love Thailand. Keep up the great work 😎✌🏼
Guess i just keep raving about the quality of your vlog Paddy. Many of us have been flogged with stories from Pai, yet you have a way of presenting it with fresh eye's. If anyone can make hard work look damn easy, it's you. Carry on!
It drives me crazy when i see your turning signal on for miles, but it makes me smile too. Just Paddy being Paddy

Awesome video.. awesome ‘Loy Krathong’ singing.. wish cud hear the whole song
Went for a dinner at the restaurant you are staying in. Very nice music and atmosphere there. Ordered some Thai food and a hamburger dish. Hamburger was fine but not Thai food.

Great video vlog sir very touching stay safe always
It was wonderful to meet you in Pai, at the village ferris wheel! 😊
I love love love that colourful lamp
Wow, I like the new Pai. The old one was mildly overwhelming. Almost back to its roots
Bittersweet, though isn’t it? All those people and their struggling families either out of work or with broken businesses. Easy for us to say it’s better from thousands of miles away
Thank you for this beautiful video
Really beautiful and awesome video 👌🙏👍✌️
Wonderful !!! Can see why you love PAI !!! 🛵❤
you have a winning channel...stay at it......loved this video of Pai....I miss it greatly
This looks like a spot to put on my must visit.
live there for a couple years back 06 - 07. thank you
Yet another brilliant episode! Inspired to make it to Pai again sometime soon...
my favorite place aswell, been going up there every year from bkk, before the smoke come, good times
Absolutely
Cool vlog, and nice to see dreamy sounding creamy! @9.36 i thought you were driving no handed with the girls on the back.
This place is going on my "to visit" list when things reopen. Looks like a really cool place to visit. Great video, mate !!
How very awesome to experience this with you! Thanks so much for everything! :)
Definitely did not expect a grilled cheese shop! Looks crazy delicious! 😁 Definitely a lot quieter than the last time but looks to still have a good vibe. Beautiful as usual!!
It was!
I was in Pai last month, stayed in a nice resort,nothing much was happening but we knew that anyway. We ride our bike through the mountains and other villages around Pai it's a beautiful place this time of the year.
Cheese Madness looks like my spot! Looking forward to the ice cold tequila shots.
Getting some inspiration for tomorrow. 🤙
Best in Thailand, PAI ❤️🇹🇭
Love the Content!!!!, I'm getting ready to expat to Phuket and buy into a friend's company.. going to start my own channel, hope I'm half as successful as your channel!
Thanks for sharing Pai. Looks like a great place regardless of the current situation. No CT125? Good for dreamy! But I dream of a CT125 myself...
1000 baht tip, very generous and kind Paddy!
Very lovely thank you for sharing
The river jungle walk to the waterfall is a real adventure! I'm glad to see you still have Dreamy, last episode you mentioned that you may consider a replacement. I hope you don't, you started the journey with your old Honda and should finish with it, in my opinion. Happy trails Paddy!
I miss PAI
Wohooo 40K Congratulations. Well deserved. 🍻🥂
Another great quality video Paddy cheers. Paddy what quality video do you upload to TH-cam ? I use 4k on my Go Pro but cant seem to get 4k on TH-cam.
Love love Pai. My homestay was the best.
