Singapore, KL and Penang at the end of Feb and Japan in October. Love your work Paddy and contrary to some other opinions, I really enjoyed Switzerland. I wasn’t a big fan of your singing in Philippines but I know tonnes of your viewers were. Have a very Merry Christmas and can’t wait to see what you do in 2024.
I got hooked on Paddy from the Budgeteers. I'm not sure why, but it got me choked up a little to hear about the update on the current status of your relationship with the other two members. Something about the passage of time is sooo sad 😭
We're arriving Bangkok mid January for two months (our 6th trip to Thailand) but are exploring areas that we've never been before because of your videos. Can't wait to explore southern and northern Thailand. Enjoy your videos and thanks.
Hey Paddy. Me and my girlfriend have been watching and enjoying your videos for a couple of years now. I wanted to give you the feedback that I think maybe the reason you like the Siem Reap video so much is because you just had fun. You were singing and enjoying and it felt really natural and we really enjoyed it too. I'd dare to say that sometimes when you try too hard (to be professional or entertaining etc) it comes at the expense that we lose a tiny bit if your personality in the process. I hope this helpful for you to hear and hope it does not come across as a criticism. Love your work man, and look forward to the adventures that follow. All the best, From Stephen and Praew in Chiang Mai.
So lovely to see you again Paddy!! To be completely honest, I’m a little envious of you!😱😍 age and health issues prevent me doing many things. However, you keep alive in me my interest in all things travel. Thankyou so very much, and I relish each and every video from you. Have a happy and safe Christmas from Perth Western Australia 🦘🇦🇺
Your "ranting" in Dalat was a gift to all travellers, as everyone is going to have down days while travelling for a length of time, especially solo. Your share will help others normalize this reality. Thanks, Paddy. You're remarkable!
Hi Paddy. Being occassionally frustrated is just part of life. I like that you make Thailand your home. I'm m considering the move myself. Thanks for the great content.
excited for your south american videos! i remember I first saw your channels when you went to el salvador, because I was getting ready to meet my family for the first time there and I was nervous because there was not much travel videos there at the time and your videos where the only ones that came up. keep it up your videos are soo nice and its the reality of traveling, not everything goes instagram perfect like you say lol, but i like when you keep it real and make the most of it!!
You are great Paddy D. all Your travel experiences you shared 2023 have been just amazing !✌❤!❤👍 Thy !The World is round and there is so much more to discover as long as you have the excitement to go on.Happy Christmas days, relaxe, New Year is coming !🎉
Have really loved every episode… new and old. I’m still trying to make sure I’ve seen the older content; including some of The Budgeteers. From couch surfing (lol) to where you are today….loving the journey!
Take a rest, recover and enjoy the things in life that mean alot, one of my subscribers and I was talking about you and your channel, always bring that great content 😊
@paddydoyle I just wanted to say 'thanks' for producing all of your content, it played a massive part in our planning for our Thai trip in December 2023 for our first wedding anniversary and my wife's 50th birthday. After watching your vids we booked into Panvaree (which was spectacular- we saw wild elephants on the morning boat ride) saw the sea for the first time from Khaothong Hill, went to the night market at Ao Nang, got rain soaked on the 5 islands tour and then found paradise on Koh Mak. Would have been great to meet you in person and buy you a drink so have done the next best thing. Look forward to seeing more content.
Hi Paddy, Really looking forward to your south America trip. I am thinking of going there and will be an avid watcher of your vlogs. Merry Christmas to you and Mrs P.
Hiya Paddy. You have been a busy bee. Loved watching your adventures. Thank you for all your hard work. Been a great year. Good luck trying to find a balance. So you can be at home more. I hope your friend from the budgeteers is ok. I have the same phone. Amazing quality. For pictures and videos. Wishing you and Miss P a wonderful Christmas. Thank you for all the great videos.
Hi Paddy, thank you very much for inspiring me with your videos. I traveled all countries in South east Asia for 8 months and visited sooo many places from your videos which I wouldn’t be able to find without your help. The best one I must say was the Mt.Batur hike on Bali ( without a guide 🙃 ), Dragon Crest mountain viewpoint near Krabi and Bottle beach viewpoint in Koh Phangan. Keep doing great work and I am sure I will follow your footsteps on my next adventure.
Thanks for many great video’s Paddy! Your Thailand series pushed me to finally buy a bike and drive around Thailand myself and I’m loving the adventures! You’ve also inspired me to dip my toe in creating for TH-cam. I always tune in when you release a new video and I love following your adventures, even though I think your Thailand content was your best. With the rate you’ve been uploading and traveling to new places I can imagine that you get burned out. I can imagine doing another year of Thailand content next year gives you the opportunity to take it a bit more easy, and I believe it might also be more popular with your viewers. Maybe you don’t need to push it as hard as you’ve been doing to be able to make a living from your channel. Now that you’re well established some focus on your health, and having fun, is well deserved! Seeing that I live just down the road from you (Phra Khanong), see you around neighbor!
I've watched less of your videos this year, not being interested in some of the countries you visited, but I kept following you because of... you, Paddy! Keep doing your best and the resuls will continuously be amazing. Best of luck for 2024 and a great Christmas for your "teerak" and you!
I used to be an avid traveler with work in a different context, so I understand the beauty and frustrations of it. My only advise would be to slow down and make sure you enjoy your moments, if you travel to much you will burn out, but in your case it's your livelihood. So I went through a phase that I eventually stopped, because of the burn out but it didn't take long for me, to realize that the pace is the critical part... so for me I take less but longer trips, to stop and smell the roses more. Balance is key, Good Luck!! and I love the content, and look forward to all of the adventures!!
Paddy you are awesome. I could not do what you do. Thinking of making content is so stressful too me. You do a superb job, always. Carry on. Merry Christmas too You and Ms P.
Hi Paddy, I'm loving your channel, I've only discovered it recently, but I'm going through the Vietnam series now (in preparation for my upcoming trip) and I'm loving it. I'd really like to know, when you first started travelling and on TH-cam, how did you make the money to be able to afford your travels? Keep up the awesome content!
Thanks for 2023 Paddy, obviously not all adventures are bangers, but I for one appreciate what you do. I try to do vlogging, but after less than two weeks away, I just want to go home to my Wife. The fact that you did that for seven months is amazing. It’s sad that Lina is no longer in contact. The Budgeteers was one of the best travel channels out there.
Merry Christmas Paddy! Loved your recap! So.. when you coming down to the Florida Keys to drive and camp along the Overseas Highway and party in Key West!??! You got a couple of Floridians here ready to welcome you and take the amazing trip across the Keys !! Just sayin! Love you!
cant wait for the next series of Videos, Ive got those glasses.!! never seen them B4 until now. My sister got them for me as a Birthday gift. Where did you get yours from mine are made in Denmark according to the label
my twin brother and I are Thais and we're planning to retire in Thailand soon. We regularly watch your videos when we get together at his place. When you left Thailand, we were actually worried that you hadn't seen your videos for a while. Our conversation was something like... Wonder where Paddy is.... Just want to know thank you for making your wonderful videos and letting us to be a part of your life... PS... December 24th, 2023 currently staying with a friend and his wife in Bangkok, the weather is incredibly cool at 70F
First off, absolutely love your channel and wish you continued success and happy adventuring! If you’re still taking suggestions from the audience for 2024 😉…. I first came across your channel with your Thailand content. Maybe an idea (to keep you closer to where your heart is) would be to do some finer grain videos on Thailand and Bangkok in particular? Some off the beaten track / day in the life stuff. The videos of yours that I like the most are the most spontaneous ones. Just you walking along or out on your bike having an improvised adventure. I still appreciate the effort behind the bike planned things but your personality and knowledge really shine on those more spontaneous videos where you take us along with you. I’m a bit biased since it’s the Thailand stuff I like most anyway tho. Cheers!
Hi Paddy, I’m a new subscriber and I really enjoy your videos. I discovered you when was researching a trip to Asia. We have motorcycled thru most of Vietnam except the north. But for our next trip I’m torn between Northern Thailand, Northern Vietnam, or Loas. Which was your favourite?
Love your videos. Just bought your N & S Thailand books. I first visited Chiang Mai Feb 4, 1974. I have been going back, over and over. You opened my eyes to all the other provinces that I have overlooked. Your Laos series has piqued my interest in going there. After I do my 50-year walk out from the Chiang Mai Train Station in Feb, I'm headed to Lao for 60+ days of wondering. Tim and Marisa Notier (2up and Overloaded) just spent 5 days with us here in Java Indonesia. Don't know if you have followed them but they roam like you do. Thanks for the shout-out to the Renegade sports bar in Chiang Mai. An old Navy buddy of mine, Jerry Butteris, is a part owner. Anyway, travel on and thanks for your wonderful Channel.
paddy please start making videos in thailand again... it was the main reason why I started watching your channel... so travel around in thailand more often between your bigger trips so you can see miss P more often ;)
Really enjoyed this behind the scenes look! My partner and I are traveling currently and coming to Bangkok soon. Any tips on where to stay, where to go etc? I really trust you as a source and someone who seems to have many of the same values as myself.
I really LOVE the Phrom Phong area, stay at the Carlton or similar, explore the malls and parks, street food, and pubs in that area (you might see me, that's my neighborhood)
Paddy, ageing and fewer friends, but an increase in acquaintances is I believe, quite normal. That said, both are very important to balance one’s sanity. lol. As for advice as a thought, your skill at both storytelling and capturing what most of us would have an interest in, is amazing/extremely interesting! Have you ever considered reaching out to television producers/National Geographic to enable securing both a stable/great income and suitable time structure for your “personal” priorities? BTW- Canada does have some unique and interesting parts….just a hint. All the best for a wonderful Merry Christmas and your health in the New Year!
ah thanks mate, from what I see TV giants doing... they tend to hire celebrities from music and TV to host travel shows, they don't seem to seek out the independent guys like me
One little idea Paddy, if you need a lil refresh & home time with Miss P; many of your viewers inc my wife & I are fans of all things Thailand. How about some walking adventures around Bangkok? Walking would give us a bit more of a "zoomed in" view than biking. And I'm sure there are loads of quirky hidden gems to be found around random corners of the city (also a handy little fitness topup!)
I watched all of your Asia adventures and I loved it. Even your poorest videos are better than most youtubers average videos imo. Can’t wait to follow you next year!
Hello Paddy!! You are back for Xmas??🎊 How long will you stay? TH miss you so bad. Ps. Antarctica series is what I’m thrilled for. My dream goal.❤🎉 Merry XMas, Paddy.😇🪽👼
Life happens, it does not get any easier if success comes along the way. Just more responsibilities, lots of hard work and things will get compromised and I wish you a great journey along the way Paddy 🙏.
Hola Paddy this is Damon and Todd. We wanted to say thank you so much for a great year of adventures and travels. We are excited to listen for your next update for 2024. We also wanted to wish you and MsP and great Christmas and prosperous New Year. We are sending you two positive vibes to work out a great balance where you both can do want you two love and still have an successful relationship. Paddy if you ever get back to Mexico please look us up! We are in San Miguel De Allende, Mexico❤👍
On your camera equipment paddy, I have just recently purchased the dji pocket 3 , have a look at this camera, pretty awesome bit of kit and found it very usable, especially with the nd filters
Thank you for your Vietnam Series!!!!! We are here now on holiday from the USA. We are heading to Bangkok in a few days. We would love to buy you a beer to say thank you. What you say Paddy?
What an enjoyable insight into the 'behind the scenes Paddy'... Love your work. In Palawan / ElNido / Coron area now with my Northern Thailand GF. I am introducing your stuff to her. 😅
Paddy take a break please look after your wellbeing mate . I wish you a wonderful festival season and a happy hogmanay best wishes from Bonnie Scotland.
That was my question about keeping up with your mates. Thanks for the authentic answer. I'll be in Phrom Pong over Christmas. Buy you beers at Hair of the Dog?
Paddy! We have loved your videos. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I hope you get to visit our area of the world - the South Pacific. We are in the Cook Islands! Hopefully we see you down in this neck of the woods sometime. Have a great Christmas and wishing you all th best for 2024!!
Hi Paddy love love all of your videos. Interested in doing a( Loop) with my son 29 me 60 not that experienced on scooters . On the bucket list just not sure which one would be the most suitable live to here your advice.
I am so sad to read so many negative comments, because he puts so much effort in all his travels and videos! And I believe someone that never vlogged, doesn’t even know how much time and effort it takes to create those videos. It’s not only filming. It’s editing, adding effects, text, graphic stuff, voiceover, coloring, searching hours for the right music, and so much more! And this takes like forever!!! Paddy your channel is amazing! We follow you since such a long time and we were happy with each and every video of yours ❤ Excited for what more is to come 😊
Agree the cowboy video was the best by far have watched it about 4 times . Good old 90s -2000s music and having fun. I want to vist just to spend day riding around with cowboy. Then visit vietnam and finally koh samui
Well Mr Paddy Doyle thank you for another year, I first discovered your channel during covid with the travel through all the Thai provenances . I have not missed an episode yet. I'm a 60 year old Aussie guy, yes you can sometimes be a whinging pom, but you are a natural for entertaining. You are part of the TH-cam comfort food like Flora and Note, Mark Wines, Ryan & Mo, now in lao, I wish you and Miss Pee a merry Christmas and look forward to the next adventures
Wow, what a year you have had! OR that we have all had by being able to watch your experience through a screen. Great Q&A, very authentic and interesting to watch. Have a great Christmas with loved ones, and we are looking forward for the videos to continue. Here is to a good 2024 🍻
I would prefer more personal videos that show more of the behind the scenes stuff. Your videos felt overly positive this year. Like as if everything had to be perfect. Which I feel is a bit boring …
In relation to nothing, I recently had a very brief chat with your dad, when he joined our local Facebook group! He said at the time you were on your way to Antarctica.
Editing Mode means not Holidays... I am on Holiday @ the moment in Hua Hin and in Bkk from 26th to 30th. NewYear willbe in Khon Kaen... Wish you a wonderful christmas -> relax
Hi Paddy,I am sure I passed you on Soi 22 yesterday,we both looked at each other.I am gutted I didn’t say hello,difficult,you don’t want to feel a fool if it’s the wrong person.I am living in Park 24. All the best😊
Hi Paddy! I've been a fan since the Budgeteers in Central and South America. Just seen you have this solo channel by searching for SE Asian vloggers. A couple of questions if i might, one more business-related, and one more personal. First, I've been vicariously traveling with volggers for some time and there seems to be two schools of thought. One is go big like you guys do with the drones and all the high tech video, etc to get that cinematic effect. Others say be basic, use the phone or go-pro and people will be more natural and spontaneous. Truthfully, i appreciate both. I would have never thought Phnom Penh had such a skyline without those shots! Do you find people react differently when you talk to them like a news crew (for lack of a better term), vs a guy with a cell phone? Secondly, how do you prioritize? I have spent a life of angst, one part craving the security of known people, places, and things, another part seeing a road and just wanting to go where it takes me. In my 20's i hitchhiked and took greyhound over 44 US states. Since then till now in my early 60's I've sat and wondered what i am missing. In that time I've accumulated a wonderful daughter, a best friend / roommate, and 5 cats i love like family. Willie Nelson said when he's home he wants to be on the road, and vice versa. What would you say to the 20 year olds who are facing these questions? respect man
Yeah the equipment has an effect on how the people in public react for sure. I find having a blend of bigger camera and phone works great! I have learnt that shorter trips work best, 10 - 20 days away, knowing you are coming 'home' makes burn out less likely
Welcome back to Thailand :) Offer still stands... if you're in Chiang Mai again, would love to have you at my "Lanna Hostel"... for free. Love your content, Paddy.

How was your 2023? any big plans for 2024?
Bangkok, Thailand in July!
Singapore, KL and Penang at the end of Feb and Japan in October. Love your work Paddy and contrary to some other opinions, I really enjoyed Switzerland. I wasn’t a big fan of your singing in Philippines but I know tonnes of your viewers were. Have a very Merry Christmas and can’t wait to see what you do in 2024.
Travelling South East Asia for the next 9 months we hope!! Thailand in March, Vietnam now until then
finally watch and use the editing class I bought LOL and hopefully start uploading more from Japan and elsewhere
Travelling New Zealand currently and will be hopping over to Thailand (via Guangzhou) in a few days. See ya in Bangkok 😜
I'm 69 this year but when i grow up i want to be just like you. A world traveller who shares and has a huge heart. Thank you Paddy
I got hooked on Paddy from the Budgeteers. I'm not sure why, but it got me choked up a little to hear about the update on the current status of your relationship with the other two members. Something about the passage of time is sooo sad 😭
yup
We're arriving Bangkok mid January for two months (our 6th trip to Thailand) but are exploring areas that we've never been before because of your videos. Can't wait to explore southern and northern Thailand. Enjoy your videos and thanks.
I’ve loved your content throughout 2023! You should make more Bangkok content! Happy Christmas and New year :)

Always a joy to watch, Paddy! And an inspiration/motivation for us 📽️ So thanks! 👍🏻

More to come!

My God, I can't believe how much the channel has evolved since the covid days. Well done & congratulations.
What a year! Welcome back to Thailand!
Gotta catch up on your last few videos, been a busy autumn. You might be tired, but you look refreshed
Have really loved every episode… new and old. I’m still trying to make sure I’ve seen the older content; including some of The Budgeteers. From couch surfing (lol) to where you are today….loving the journey!
Please do!
Take a rest, recover and enjoy the things in life that mean alot, one of my subscribers and I was talking about you and your channel, always bring that great content 😊

Hiya Paddy.
You have been a busy bee. Loved watching your adventures.
Thank you for all your hard work. Been a great year.
Good luck trying to find a balance. So you can be at home more.
I hope your friend from the budgeteers is ok.
I have the same phone. Amazing quality. For pictures and videos.
Wishing you and Miss P a wonderful Christmas.
Thank you for all the great videos.
Thanks Nicky for ALL the messages of love and support ALL YEAR

Hi Paddy, thank you very much for inspiring me with your videos.

The best one I must say was the Mt.Batur hike on Bali ( without a guide 🙃 ), Dragon Crest mountain viewpoint near Krabi and Bottle beach viewpoint in Koh Phangan.

Welcome back! I hope to get you watching more in 2024!
Same here, but looking forward to S America.
I've been a fan since series 2 of the Budgeteers so I'm very bummed to hear about Lina, but hopefully she's doing well. Happy New Year Paddy
yeah I hope so too!
Love love your videos! Take care Mate
Next year you will have to update everything in thailand, to a "Thailand after Covid" because it feels like everything has changed.
Your videos are always great!!!

Stopping in Siem Reap for 3 nights on our way to Thailand next year. Already booked Cowboy for 2 days because of your video. Thank You!
Sounds great!
happy that you are back in thailand
Well done Paddy. Ive enjoyed all the series this year, Dolomites especially. Tidy footie player as well I noticed! Have a great Xmas and 2024 fella.
Thanks a lot for all the nice content this year. My favorite was the Dolomites.
Paddy you are awesome. I could not do what you do. Thinking of making content is so stressful too me. You do a superb job, always. Carry on. Merry Christmas too You and Ms P.

Not yet no@@americaninthailand8760
That Ha giang loop is amazing, we just did it in October. Best trip ever😃
stoke for your 2024 adventures Paddy 🙏🏾
Can't have it all.
Happy new year 🎊
Thanks for 2023 Paddy, obviously not all adventures are bangers, but I for one appreciate what you do.
I try to do vlogging, but after less than two weeks away, I just want to go home to my Wife.
The fact that you did that for seven months is amazing.
It’s sad that Lina is no longer in contact. The Budgeteers was one of the best travel channels out there.
The budgeters are the best, I miss the budgeters
Thanks for the message mate, appreciate it
Good luck in 2024 Paddy! We love you 😘
Damn i love this channel.
Merry Christmas Paddy!

As for advice as a thought, your skill at both storytelling and capturing what most of us would have an interest in, is amazing/extremely interesting! Have you ever considered reaching out to television producers/National Geographic to enable securing both a stable/great income and suitable time structure for your “personal” priorities? BTW- Canada does have some unique and interesting parts….just a hint. All the best for a wonderful Merry Christmas and your health in the New Year!
ah thanks mate, from what I see TV giants doing... they tend to hire celebrities from music and TV to host travel shows, they don't seem to seek out the independent guys like me
One little idea Paddy, if you need a lil refresh & home time with Miss P; many of your viewers inc my wife & I are fans of all things Thailand. How about some walking adventures around Bangkok? Walking would give us a bit more of a "zoomed in" view than biking. And I'm sure there are loads of quirky hidden gems to be found around random corners of the city (also a handy little fitness topup!)
that is a great idea!
In the meantime check out Bangkok Pat's channel, he does exactly that, brilliantly.
I watched all of your Asia adventures and I loved it. Even your poorest videos are better than most youtubers average videos imo. Can’t wait to follow you next year!
Hello Paddy!! You are back for Xmas??🎊 How long will you stay? TH miss you so bad.
Ps. Antarctica series is what I’m thrilled for. My dream goal.❤🎉
Merry XMas, Paddy.😇🪽👼
Antartica ... can't wait for these videos
Life happens, it does not get any easier if success comes along the way. Just more responsibilities, lots of hard work and things will get compromised and I wish you a great journey along the way Paddy 🙏.
Wonderfull comment batman , The Way of Life
👍@@ownyourtime7
cheers mate!
Maybe do daily vlogs of of living in Bangkok for a while. You can spend more time with miss P and show us every day life. Sometimes simple is better.

On your camera equipment paddy, I have just recently purchased the dji pocket 3 , have a look at this camera, pretty awesome bit of kit and found it very usable, especially with the nd filters
And just for the record, I thought your Switzerland and Dolomites videos were awesome pal 👍
@@Marksnowden1 he has the pocket 2 and used it for his Phuket old town vlog. Haven’t seen him using it since that one vlog.
Thank you for your Vietnam Series!!!!! We are here now on holiday from the USA. We are heading to Bangkok in a few days. We would love to buy you a beer to say thank you. What you say Paddy?
Pushing this back up to the top of comments. Any chance for a connect in Bangkok?
What an enjoyable insight into the 'behind the scenes Paddy'... Love your work. In Palawan / ElNido / Coron area now with my Northern Thailand GF. I am introducing your stuff to her. 😅
my wife and I love your channel paddy - my old boss, who settled in Koh Samui, put me on to you over a year ago
Paddy take a break please look after your wellbeing mate .
I wish you a wonderful festival season and a happy hogmanay best wishes from Bonnie Scotland.
That was my question about keeping up with your mates. Thanks for the authentic answer. I'll be in Phrom Pong over Christmas. Buy you beers at Hair of the Dog?
Paddy! We have loved your videos. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I hope you get to visit our area of the world - the South Pacific. We are in the Cook Islands! Hopefully we see you down in this neck of the woods sometime. Have a great Christmas and wishing you all th best for 2024!!
Maybe one day! Merry Christmas!
Had me at the worst meal of the year answer ahah
Hi Paddy love love all of your videos. Interested in doing a( Loop) with my son 29 me 60 not that experienced on scooters .
On the bucket list just not sure which one would be the most suitable live to here your advice.
hi paddy im always watching ur vlogs
I am so sad to read so many negative comments, because he puts so much effort in all his travels and videos! And I believe someone that never vlogged, doesn’t even know how much time and effort it takes to create those videos. It’s not only filming. It’s editing, adding effects, text, graphic stuff, voiceover, coloring, searching hours for the right music, and so much more! And this takes like forever!!!
Paddy your channel is amazing! We follow you since such a long time and we were happy with each and every video of yours ❤
Excited for what more is to come 😊
Agree the cowboy video was the best by far have watched it about 4 times . Good old 90s -2000s music and having fun. I want to vist just to spend day riding around with cowboy. Then visit vietnam and finally koh samui
Missed a lot of videos after Philippines ,but it's a treat to watch y ou.Sad to hear a bout lina hope you guys get back together soon.
Well Mr Paddy Doyle thank you for another year, I first discovered your channel during covid with the travel through all the Thai provenances . I have not missed an episode yet. I'm a 60 year old Aussie guy, yes you can sometimes be a whinging pom, but you are a natural for entertaining. You are part of the TH-cam comfort food like Flora and Note, Mark Wines, Ryan & Mo, now in lao, I wish you and Miss Pee a merry Christmas and look forward to the next adventures
Well said mate!
Wow thanks mate! cheers the lovely message!
You should do a video of your home town back in the UK!
That is such a bummer that Lina hasn't communicated much. Hopefully one more Budgeteers adventure is in the cards!
I hope she is ok WE LOVE HER
👍Thank you for picking Sri Lanka as number 1.
Love the intro music
I really did love your video with Cowboy. So original.
❤❤❤❤ enjoy watching❤❤❤
Wow, what a year you have had! OR that we have all had by being able to watch your experience through a screen.
Great Q&A, very authentic and interesting to watch. Have a great Christmas with loved ones, and we are looking forward for the videos to continue. Here is to a good 2024 🍻
I would prefer more personal videos that show more of the behind the scenes stuff. Your videos felt overly positive this year. Like as if everything had to be perfect. Which I feel is a bit boring …
When are you going to brazil? would love seeing u travel through brazil
❤🙏🏻Have a great week! 💞💞
In relation to nothing, I recently had a very brief chat with your dad, when he joined our local Facebook group! He said at the time you were on your way to Antarctica.
Antarctica?? wow ok👍👍
Editing Mode means not Holidays...
I am on Holiday @ the moment in Hua Hin and in Bkk from 26th to 30th. NewYear willbe in Khon Kaen... Wish you a wonderful christmas -> relax
Love u paddy
Nice glasses. 👍🏽
Hi Paddy,I am sure I passed you on Soi 22 yesterday,we both looked at each other.I am gutted I didn’t say hello,difficult,you don’t want to feel a fool if it’s the wrong person.I am living in Park 24.
All the best😊
Hi Paddy! I've been a fan since the Budgeteers in Central and South America. Just seen you have this solo channel by searching for SE Asian vloggers. A couple of questions if i might, one more business-related, and one more personal.
First, I've been vicariously traveling with volggers for some time and there seems to be two schools of thought. One is go big like you guys do with the drones and all the high tech video, etc to get that cinematic effect. Others say be basic, use the phone or go-pro and people will be more natural and spontaneous. Truthfully, i appreciate both. I would have never thought Phnom Penh had such a skyline without those shots! Do you find people react differently when you talk to them like a news crew (for lack of a better term), vs a guy with a cell phone?
Secondly, how do you prioritize? I have spent a life of angst, one part craving the security of known people, places, and things, another part seeing a road and just wanting to go where it takes me. In my 20's i hitchhiked and took greyhound over 44 US states. Since then till now in my early 60's I've sat and wondered what i am missing. In that time I've accumulated a wonderful daughter, a best friend / roommate, and 5 cats i love like family. Willie Nelson said when he's home he wants to be on the road, and vice versa. What would you say to the 20 year olds who are facing these questions?
respect man
Yeah the equipment has an effect on how the people in public react for sure. I find having a blend of bigger camera and phone works great!
I have learnt that shorter trips work best, 10 - 20 days away, knowing you are coming 'home' makes burn out less likely
Do you have plans to make it down under for a next level series?
NZ will be nice too
The only holiday I've ever had was in the dolomites, the scenery was spectacular, but that was 45 years ago probably time for another holiday 😂
Vietnam series was the best
I like to hear stories from thailand and people you meet leaving there...
I mean living btw
I also thought your video with Cowboy in Siem Riep was the most enjoyable.
I looked for cowboy in Sien Riep, and I couldn't find him. That video in Angkor Wat was really spontaneous.
Right about the Dolomites!
Welcome back to Thailand :) Offer still stands... if you're in Chiang Mai again, would love to have you at my "Lanna Hostel"... for free. Love your content, Paddy.
