Your killing me paddy ! Can it get any Better? Thailand is just so beautiful and I'm longing to get there. Without your channel people like me would never know how Amazing it is there nothing like how I imagined it. I love the Greek island's and go a couple of times a year if I had known what I know now I would have definitely been to Thailand by now big thanks paddy 👍👌
@@amazoniaquedavignon8180 Response from a British lad: Mate all I heard from that is you like unconscious sheep. I knew a lad from rural Wales like you- STEP AWAY from the livestock pal. Pop wisdom is terrible when it's issued terribly. You get me lad?
We got covid just before we were going to come. Waited at home for two weeks tested negative, rebooked and now we are here. Loving it not being so busy.
I have lived in Thailand for eleven years, and you definitely go through a honeymoon period in which you are madly in love with Thailand, then, what was outside and fundamentally different from your daily life becomes your normal every day life. If I went back to the U.S., it would be cultural shock.
I think with fewer tourists it's even more worth it being here. I do feel for the people who relied on the tourists, but Bangkok has still so much to offer to whoever comes here, as long as they want to do more than getting drunk. I'm staying an extra month as I've not even scraped the surface of what the city has to offer (temples, museums, markets, the Old City, local neighbourhoods). The problem is that I might fall in love with Bangkok even more and not want to leave 😅
@@SoulfullyMyself I went 9 years ago with a friend,didnt really want to go.Been back 10 times since and when i leave,my eyes start to well up.Just love the place..
Thanks for another great video Paddy, my wife and I are going home next week, we've had a wonderful time here, about 7 weeks of Thailand sights and sounds, the beaches and food is our thing. Please enjoy life. Aloha until next time.
If someone has the opportunity to travel to Bangkok or Thailand in general I’d say go for it. You will have the chance to enjoy Bangkok without the usual crowd. The only hard part of travelling these days ironically is when you are preparing in your home country (pcr, bookings, etc) and not the actual travel itself. Once you get all the preparations done I’d say you have completed 99% of the hassle. It may sound impossible but do whatever it takes not to catch covid until you reach Thailand. There’s no greater feeling than to step out of your SHA+ hotel on your 2nd day in Thailand with your negative pcr result. The only disappointing part of my trip is when it was time to go to the airport and go home.
Definitely worth it. 100%! Especially when you can experience it without the amount of tourism there used to be. The paperwork generally isn't as bad as it seems once you just get started. We are so happy to be here now 🙏
So nice to hear some real experiences getting into Thailand in this current climate. Very cool to see some fellow subscribers. Jealous I couldn't make the tour!
Awesome Paddy well done on this one . So good to hear people’s opinion on Thailand 🇹🇭 and it really answers the questions a few of us want to know . Great vibes all the way . Thanks again for an awesome Vlog . Stay safe , take it easy and 🥂 to Next Level Adventures.
Hi fellow youtuber! Im glad I found you! This video is very valuable -- i love that you asked people in the city about their personal experiences it really helps! me and my partner are trying to go to thailand in March or April. We just found out that international travel are now opening tomorrow with the option to do TEST & GO! I do not wish to demand anything on you, but it will be amazing if you can do a video about this whenever you guys (living there) find out more details about this. I think the traveling mission to Thailand will still be strenuous but not as much as previously? "the juice is worth the squeeze" - I LOVEED THIS! IM SO PUMPED LOL! I thank you for this information!
It is definitely worth coming to Thailand , it’s my first time here just in Phuket under the sandbox scheme arrived sat 15 so nearly past the 7 days till I can decide the next stop on my travels through Thailand , it’s pretty straight forward arriving in Phuket airport for the sandbox scheme , I would suggest to anyone arriving soon to print out your Thai pass and the receipt copy of your 2 COVID tests that you pre paid for and a copy of a negative PCR from your departure country as they will check these three things multiple times going through Phuket airport , might start visiting a few places in paddy’s e-book of Thailand as been watching the videos and couldn’t wait to experience them myself
Definitely coming in May after my nursing assignment. Less crowds. More enjoyable time to get to know people. Very informative video and not just your own opinion like these newer vids. Got a new subscriber! I hope we cross paths this summer.
Thank you for your videos Paddy, i did my paper work and tomorrow will be flying to phuket (sand box) and after to Bkk. I was missing Thailand so much. But finally there is new start of the adventure.
I traveled to Thailand in december until 4th january and was totally worth it. The southern region and the islands are gorgeus and the people and culture are amazing. There is a bit dificulty in communication (I dont speak thai) but the people genuinely wants to help you get things done.
Thanks for this video Paddy. I have my flight booked for March and am researching an ASQ hotel. I need to do a 10 day quarantine so I am planning on 2 to 3 months total stay. Not looking forward to that but it is what it takes for me to enter and I have been away too long. Keep making the videos and I'll keep watching!
My wife and I have gone through the O-A Visa process and Thai Pass process in the last 45 days. We are looking forward to arrival 2/2. We love Thailand so we definitely think it's worth it.
We have been here since the beginning of Jan, and we came in using the test and go system. It had a few small problems which we sorted. Been In BKK, now in Chiang Mai and then BKK, Pattaya and then BKK to end. Love being here. the people, the food, the weather. eating out for 2 with a drink for 350 to 500 Baht massages from 200 to 500 Baht Baht. Ok a lot of stuff is closed but there is enough open.
It is totally worth completing all the paperwork to enter Thailand as I just over there for one month (13 Dec - 10 Jan). I came over to see my fiancé which I have not seen in two year and I had a blast traveling throughout Thailand ( Issan (Khon Kaen and Buriram), Prachuap, Ayuttaya, Chonburi and Bangkok). I used the Test n' Go scheme and organising my trip was very simple, had the Thailand Pass within 5 hour once I submitted the necessary paperwork. If I did not have to return back home to go back to work, I would still be there enjoying the Thai life.
Just about to leave Thailand after 2 weeks here. 100% worth all the hoops you have to jump through. Just be patient, do everything you’re asked to do and it’s not that much of an issue. Best holiday I’ve ever had and will definitely be back.
That was so great Paddy. Im a fellow kiwi thinking of doing the same thing. Over Nz restrictions and keen to teach english and have freedom again. Very inspiring video. Thanks so much. Love the channel x
Every body talks about the paperwork coming to Thailand . I found the paperwork easy and not difficult. Try applying for a visa for a Thai person to go to UK on a 3 month stay. Just the application is 11 pages with a lot of stupid unnecessary questions and Much more expensive than Thai pass application. My opinion no one should say getting to Thailand now is difficult. Even the restart of the test and go is well explained and well organized. When I arrived here in December. The organization at airport to hotel with PCR test was well organized and with precision carried through. I can only praise the Thai organization for tourists comeback.
It's a great time to enjoy many aspects of Thailand if you can get out there. That really depends on individual circumstances. For a short term holiday maker who hasn't recently recovered from COVID the risks of being quarentined are probably too great right now. But if you can hold on a month or two, indications are that it will get better.
Totally agreed with everyone you interviewed. Have just come back from three weeks in Bangkok ad Hua Hin. Totally worth all the trouble. As Ester and her partner said its seems complicated when you are applying from another country but once you land its all super simple. One concern with the upcoming reintroduction of Test and Go is the additional hotel night in day 5?? lets see how that plays out.....
Hiya Paddy, what a wonderful day spent with friends. Lovely tour. Great to hear people's opinions. Those who are in Thailand. So beautiful at night. Thank you for sharing. Always good vibes. Perfect music. Great video. You would inspire anyone to travel to Thailand, Paddy. You rock. Have a lovely day.
We have met the wonderful Mr. Ohm before. You tubers are keeping him pretty busy at the moment. I really enjoyed the video. The history and life on the river I find fascinating. The interviews with recent arrivals will help many people.
This definitely is an awesome vlog Paddy! Love your interaction and interviews with your fellow TH-camrs as well as the tourists who have just arrived….very interesting to hear what they have to say about getting there! My husband and I just got approved for our Thailand Pass…we’re doing the Phuket Sandbox and now are itching to squeeze Bangkok in because of this video……. Thanks for sharing 😊
Had an awesome time and thanks for the invite brother…. Let’s catch up soon and talk sh*t 🍺🍻 To everyone else, don’t overthink it and get your ass over here, you won’t regret it ✈️🇹🇭
we are right now in Ao Nang, Krabi and been to bangkok a couple of weeks ago. we would say that it is TOTALLY worth it.. i mean you got almost everything for yourself and not for that long anymore when in february more tourism will come back. we enjoyed the time with less people :)
I just left after 3 months. I felt like Thailand is always worth it, the only thing I felt a little off about was when they implemented the showing a negative pcr test just to grab lunch. Overall it is still my favorite place to be and live in Asia.
Got the Test and Go, received the answer about three hours after the cutoff - they answered twice, one was declined and one was approved, so I just used the approved one (guess they're not keeping track of how many times you submit)... did all the paperwork, the thing that "annoyed" me, was the fact that they didn't even check my vaccination nor my PCR-test... And now I live and work here. All good.
Enjoyed seeing the boat ride and the Buddha in lights. Everything is so colorful there. Good interviews about what to expect for getting approval to come in to Thailand. You always find Interesting things to do and see. Have a nice day.🤗
Good advice from Forest… As an oldie ( not young like the ones interviewed) go through the hoops ( paper work) with a positive attitude that things will work out. Traveling to a foreign country is not to be like the country you’re from, so learn about the culture and way of life. Don’t expect everything to be like home. Enjoy and stay as long as you can…
Amazing video as always Paddy. I'm looking to travel to Thailand again soon! Just trying to convice my lovely wife and 2YO to come along with 😬 may have be another solo trip 🤷♂️
the thailand pass was wonderful and perfect for me as i only had 3 weeks to travel and see family. one night and away. the sandbox , 7 nights in a nice hotel is not much different to what most tourists are doing anyway. tip have all the paperwork ready before you apply
This video was so much needed!!! Been in Thailand twice in 2020 and I'd love to be back in 2022 but with Omicron restrictions and so much bureaucracy going on all the time, not sure if it's the right time yet! Thanks for uploading!! :)
As a first timer, where in Bangcock is a good quality place to stay close to temples. Markets and sights. We can't ride bikes so are looking for a location close to things
I was in Thailand for December and I went under the Thailand pass/test and go. Shortly after I returned the requirements tightened up. The message is....grab your chance and do it. You only live once and life is too short.
9:10…..Same here. I got the paperwork. And they look at about half of it🤦🏿♂️. On top of mistakenly doing the rapid test in USA instead of the PCR. And Thailand was like “ ya, you good “ come on in👍🏿
@@kimlove5760 yo, just relating my situation with the guy at the 9:10. Really wasn’t complaining. So please take the stick out of your Butt…..Thank you
Top vlog, Paddy! And very interesting as well! A practical one. Nice seeing the canals. Do you think you might visit a floating market in one of your upcoming Bangkok vlogs? Also..Marina from Brooklyn is cute. Well done with your interviews. 👏
The Chao Phraya river cruise is worth it. The boat through the canals stinks a bit, but the ones in Saen Saap Canal is hellish tbh. Let's just say if the water got on your face, you get pimples. If it gets in your mouth, possibly stomache ache for a bit. Accidentally fell into it, get treated quick you don't want to risk fungal infections in the brain yeah.
I'll just go ahead before finishing the video and say that the answer from tourists already here is a yes. However, tourists for short stays, given the unstable situation + Covid positive quarantine risks, it's a no.
Paddy, we have been watching your videos since the start of you travel videos. We are on that precipice. Filling out the paperwork is a drag; but this video gave us renewed energy to finish it! Our ticket is for 3-19… see ya soon!
Im from the USA. I paid a Thai company like 50 usd to apply for my Thailand Pass. I think i was approved in 2 days. I purchased my quarantine hotel (1,500 usd ) for 10 nights as im not vaccinated. I purchased my covid insurance through same Thai company, maybe 70 usd. Maybe some people think it is difficult to get into Thailand, but my experience was super smooth… so smooth i was ready to hit a snag, some sort of snag… all went smooth though. :)
Sadly..I really do think tourism to Thailand is particularly privileged right now... I hope all the visitors are providing the much needed support for the local street vendors and small businesses... Can't wait for the opportunity to return as normal there...
Paddy did Miss P have you sleep on sofa, I noticed you interviewed a lot of pretty ladies. I would not do the quarantine. I did it in May. It was very stressful. Test in go or the sandbox I would be there now if I had the time. I am envious of everyone on the boat trip with you Paddy. Looks like it was a great day.
Interesting points of view. I'm guessing Jason must be from Auckland cause the rest of NZ has had almost no restrictions for ages now. Getting an MIQ spot to come back to NZ isn't easy but it's not impossible either, plenty of people have left and returned in the last two years.
I am planning to arrive in Phuket in March of 2022 from the US. Thanks for your insightful and entertaining views of Thailand. You may have covered this but if not could you please produce a small segment on internet data connections and what you have found works best for you. Loved the piece on Dreamy being brought back to life, such a great resource for motorcycle services. Pilot

Wow what a great river cruise and great to hear everyone so positive about being in Thailand it gives me a better feeling for our April trip.
My pleasure glad you liked it

The river cruise is nice at night

Good job Paddy Doyle I like yr videos and always follow. Thanks
It's always worth it dude, I've just arrived this morning. Quickest I've ever got through the airport 🤣
Excellent video. Something completely different. 👍👍
I'll just go ahead before finishing the video and say that the answer from tourists already here is a yes. However, tourists for short stays, given the unstable situation + Covid positive quarantine risks, it's a no.
Paddy, we have been watching your videos since the start of you travel videos. We are on that precipice. Filling out the paperwork is a drag; but this video gave us renewed energy to finish it! Our ticket is for 3-19… see ya soon!
Im from the USA. I paid a Thai company like 50 usd to apply for my Thailand Pass. I think i was approved in 2 days. I purchased my quarantine hotel (1,500 usd ) for 10 nights as im not vaccinated. I purchased my covid insurance through same Thai company, maybe 70 usd. Maybe some people think it is difficult to get into Thailand, but my experience was super smooth… so smooth i was ready to hit a snag, some sort of snag… all went smooth though. :)
Paddy what a great video.
Thank you
enjoyed this 1 , upbeat nice 1
loved the river temples
I have been going to Thailand for 40 years but not now . I will wait .
Paddy is Nang Kwak doll of Thailand🤭 thank so much, Paddy.🙏🏻
omg the view of Wat Arun is so perfect
Love going on the canal taxis but will definately book the hidden tour and if we get there in March 😊
Sadly..I really do think tourism to Thailand is particularly privileged right now... I hope all the visitors are providing the much needed support for the local street vendors and small businesses... Can't wait for the opportunity to return as normal there...
Incredible Video Paddy ~ Thanks Again*. (TX)
My pleasure, hope it was interesting
Loved the time lapse of chao phraya river with wat arun background and the hidden tour .
Can’t wait to go back to my country.
Paddy did Miss P have you sleep on sofa, I noticed you interviewed a lot of pretty ladies. I would not do the quarantine. I did it in May. It was very stressful. Test in go or the sandbox I would be there now if I had the time. I am envious of everyone on the boat trip with you Paddy. Looks like it was a great day.
😂😂😂 miss P was on the boat trip 😉
Interesting points of view. I'm guessing Jason must be from Auckland cause the rest of NZ has had almost no restrictions for ages now. Getting an MIQ spot to come back to NZ isn't easy but it's not impossible either, plenty of people have left and returned in the last two years.
I’m here now and it was definitely worth it 😊
TQ Krub for yr Wonderful Video.
I am planning to arrive in Phuket in March of 2022 from the US. Thanks for your insightful and entertaining views of Thailand. You may have covered this but if not could you please produce a small segment on internet data connections and what you have found works best for you. Loved the piece on Dreamy being brought back to life, such a great resource for motorcycle services. Pilot
Paddy and friends deliver as always. Thank you mate
The river cruise looks amazing. Can you please tell me how I would book this? Is it a particular company? Thank you :)
