    Just watched this Video again because I am in Koh Phangan right now. Full moon party was last night and I can say Everything is coming back greatly. The rooms in Rin beach was fully booked. Thanks for your footage that motivated many ppl to come.

    Incredible! What a place. I can’t wait to get back to Thailand! Although I’m nervous that some things would have gone due to Covid I know the spirit of the people of Thailand will adapt and make it even better for people. 😀
    Great work as always Paddy! 💙

    Great vlog Paddy- we’ve been to Koh Phangan a few years ago but was in the north eastern part of the island.....this video makes me regret not checking out Haad Rin:( I suppose we can always go back because of your vlog 😉 The hotel with the pool looks awesome and Thanks for sharing :)

    I think it's so nice because there are less people there. I know it is bad for the Economy. But now is the right time to be there and enjoy the beauty of Thailand.

    hi paddy, am someone who just loves watching travel vlogs. With the pandemic around and not being able to travel, videos like these are a great escape to enjoy things virtually. and i must say out of all the vloggers i religiously follow, i find your vlogs very well detailed and well presented. (you know how some vlogs are 80% occupied by the vlogeers face & blabbering!! lol ), It feels very balanced! wish to see more & more from you. Keep up the good work! :)

    Just booked our flights to go back to Thailand for the second time for a month next year, going to back pack with the family. Your videos are a huge help. Thank you.

    Paddy, loving the whole Thailand series and your sense of humour.
    The last time I was in Haad Rin was 1995, I don't recognize anything, they didn't have paved roads, a night was beanbags on the beach with candles on a table and stumbling drunk back to your bungalow with a flashlight. Good memories.
    Enjoy yourself.

    Your subs are growing!!! Liked your heart felt take on what covid has done to that area of Thailand. Everything is not always rainbows and sunsets. Having grown up during the Vietnam War, my mind always goes back to that conflict when I see the Thai people who were great allys of our troops during that messed up war.

    Another great video. I've been to Koh Phangan once. I don't remember anything about it though so I assume I had a great time.
    My daughter has been up north in the Seattle area visiting her mom for the past week and a half, so I've been cracking open multiple cans of beer each evening watching multiple episodes of your Thailand videos (starting from the very first one) trying to chase you down to your present productions*. I'm about one year behind you at this point. Thanks for all of these - they have provided many an enjoyable evening.
    *I do watch each new Vietnam episode when it comes out though.

    • @allwaysbemoving

    Thank you, Paddy, for the great insight on the Full Moon Party. I did that back in 2003 and was one of the wildest nights of my life. Went to mushroom mountain too. Always my first thought when I think of Koh Phangan. I was wondering if you were going to vlog being there and now I know why you are not. The scene now is shocking to me. Top vlog once again, Paddy!

    Your segment on Haad Rin beach was touching and it is, at this time, a sad story, but will someday make a great comeback. And, for a more Thai experience regarding accommodations I've got to plug Cheeva Beach Resort. It's a clean well kept family run resort with an operating restaurant on the beach with rooms that include a microwave and all the other appliances for about 500 baht a night. It's been a lovely refuge from Covid that is festering in Bangkok.

  • @DNorman
    @DNorman 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Thanks for another great video. That brought back memories. The last time I was there for the full moon party was December 31, 1999. It was one of the craziest nights ever - mushroom mountain, sleeping in a hammock in the rain, giant fireworks going off all around me by drunks just buyig them. Sad to see it like this. I have faith it will come back. Might be a while but it will.

  • @LEObondTraveller
    @LEObondTraveller 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    The Thai people are amazingly resilient. They are incredible at bouncing back from disasters. A La Tsunami 2004. I'm sure the international tourists will quickly bounce back with them. Afterall, there's nowhere quite like Thailand.

  • @riodasperolas
    @riodasperolas 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi Paddy, regarding full moon parties, I may just be plain wrong but your mindset is too youthful to fit a “nostalgic” mood I sort of hear … Coming forward are the most awesome experiences and in due course pass out booze parties will look pretty tasteless .. do believe me. I’m not patronising , not a bit. I just felt I could play kill joy and in doing so cheering you up a bit.

  • @BACKPACKTOPIA
    @BACKPACKTOPIA 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    The full moon party has rightfully been called one of the worst examples of “everything that is wrong with backpacking tourism”. Most businesses in the area are not solely living off of the monthly full moon party. The few businesses that will fold if the full moon party doesn’t come back will move on to the next thing of the same kind and will recover faster financially than it will take the flora and the fauna of the island to recover from the negative environmental effects.

    • @ellefsensbarmyarmy8491
      @ellefsensbarmyarmy8491 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I’ve spent more than a yr in koh phangan, over a period of 3 yrs, and since I’m not a party guy I didn’t like the full moon. I’ ve been to around 10 I guess, but stayed at home for the most part.
      I think you are wrong though. The vast majority of the economy on the island is built around the full moon. Most places in Had Rin was only full 3-4 days every month. The hotels, restaurants, street vendors of all kinds and basically every other business on the island get their income from to the party. Had rin without the full moon would just be a small beach town, and a lot of the tourist that actually stay a white and explore other part of the island would never have come in the first place without the full moon.
      And I’m not even counting in the illegal economy with drugs etc that plays a big part on the island.
      Hopefully covid kills it, but I think it will be up and running again.

    Awesome video Paddy, The full moon moment was deep! It may not recover there, but in the future, there will be growth and a new scene. Memories will live on in those of us who experienced it, and there really will 'never be anything like it' but there will be new experiences for the new generation. You inspired me to start my Travel Hawai'i series! I hope one day we can meet up and experience some of the new adventures the world will give us post-covid.
