Paddy- I absolutely love Sumai Side quest series. This episode was really good asking Flora & Note about their living in Maenom. Thank you for highlighting local businesses on Koh Sumai. The second hand sneaker store was fantastic and a hidden gem most of us wouldn't know about. Although you might not like being sidelined due to the situation, you are really helping a lot of us gain a better insight as to the real Koh Sumai. Most channels focus on bars, the girls, cheap eats ETC. Your new direction is refreshing and I appreciate it.
Im watxhing this for I think about the 3 rd time . I really like the interview with Flora and Note. You ask about people want to see more of . I think you interciewed very well and thats what would like to see more of. Not as a staple part of your format but the occassional interview with other utubers you meet or just random people or subscribers who run into you along the way. Good work good lunch. 🌶
Great video with all the fantastic questions and answers! It gives us more of an insight into living in Thailand and Koh Samui, specifically! Planning to move there soon and this is very useful! Thanks. 👍Good to hear more from your girl this time, Paddy! She should join in more!
you are a natural storyteller & presenter, paddy. this video proves you can be a great talk show host. love the opening intro, it's hilarious watching you move like Mark Wiens.
Great video Paddy. The catfish is actually cooked twice. I think its steamed and dried. Then processed very fine and then fried. Its virtually fish floss. Keep up the good work
Nice feast guys! I recently stayed at Replay Condo just next door and Chao Ruea was my go-to, love it! Hit Chi a few times, bit pricey but nice chill place with good food & grooves. Also recommend Noi Friendly just across from Chi. Very nice family run & great food!
@@o.fenton8636 I do appear briefly at times but the channel isn't about me (and I'm a crap presenter;) rather what's in front of the camera. Vloggers like Paddy are far more gifted storytellers & fiilmers and do a top job of both :)
👋🏻Hey Paddy, your girlfriend( sorry don’t know her name), Flora and Note we love Koh Samui and miss it very much. We really enjoyed staying at the Mana Thai hotel in Lamai and there was an amazing restaurant that a local got us hooked on it was called Moonlight Restaurant in Lamai as well. You really need to check it out the food was amazing and reasonably priced. The street food in the Lamai area was awesome too. Stay sane and keep the awesome videos coming! ❤️🇨🇦🍻
Paddy, the food looked amazing...when I finally manage to get to Koh Samui I'm going to try those soft shell crab dishes. I'm going to save this video to 'my videos'. Love what you are doing...just when you think you've seen everything and eaten everything, you turn another corner and there are more surprises. Thailand is somewhere everyone should visit at least once in their lives. Thank you Paddy, your videos are so interesting, fascinating and filled with warmth 👍😎
Hi Paddy. Brilliant video, great questions asked and answered. The food looked amazing. I remember getting caught in a Tropical Storm in 2011 on Samui and it flooded Chaweng where i was staying, the water was knee deep and the power was out for a few days, it also shut the airport. I still love Samui and can't wait to get back. Thank You. 🙏😎👍
Loved this vlog paddy! Whenever we go we don't experiment enough! Ya know we stick to the same dishes, pad krapow, som tam, yam neu, noodles, street food etc. Would love to see more of what you eat!
Beautiful views and great questions. The food always looks so good and I can tell it’s delicious. 😋 I hope all is well. 🙏🏻♥️ I wonder if you guys could make a few shirt designs to help Samui too. Be blessed and share your joys. 🎉🙏🏻🤗
Love this vlog and especially the food you guys ate!!!! Would love to check this place out whenever we get a chance to go back to Thailand!!! Thanks for sharing Paddy🙏
Hi Paddy! The food looks really good 🤗 Good that you got Flora and Note to answer your questions. They have a video of there one with really good info about moving to samui. All the best for Sweden 🇸🇪
Really liked hearing Note and Flora's take on year round living on Koh Samui, I think the batter your thinking of on the catfish is Panko breadcrumbs, at least that's what I thought it looked like. Nice video.
This is your moment, Paddy! Mark Wiens is touring America right now LOL Steal his facial expressions and you can own that lovely plot of land with the house overlooking the sea!
Stunning location, good to note for anyone considering living on Thailand on a small budget and under the age of 50 would be visa costs and medical insurance. This would be around 6k Thai Baht a month so 30k a month doesn’t leave much. Just a thought
Hiya Paddy, what a beautiful feast. The perfect setting with great company. A beautiful evening. Flora and note are lovely. I have recently started following them too. Great interview. Enjoyable video. Have a great week. Safe travels.
Great Video. I've been to that restaurant it's really good! When I'm in Koh Samui, I just rent a car. If you go on some of the local groups on Facebook, you can find people renting cars. It's pretty cheap. I can't ride a motor bike at all! I'm from Los Angeles and I didn't find it difficult to drive there. But when the rain starts sometimes you can't make it down the road to bo phut from my house for a couple of days. Not too bad if you are stocked up on groceries and beer. Lol. Also, normally there is a pick up truck/bus that goes around the ring road and it's pretty cheap. They are for tourists, so I'm not sure if it is running this year. But normally it is. That's what I did before renting a car. Cheers
You guys are too funny 😂. The end gave me a bigger smile than the delicious food. 😁 Thanks for the insights, allowing us to live vicariously through your meal and beautiful surroundings (until I can get back there myself to do it in person one day). I love Koh Samui and Koh Phangan. Just watching this is calming beyond belief. 😌 All the best raising money for the people of Koh Samui! 😎👏🏼🥊
Ahhhhhh I cant wait to go. I'm thinking 1 to 3 months at first. Im still waiting until more of the restrictions are lifted so I can fully enjoy it... or should I just go now? I don't know whether to rent a fancy place or just wing it and go wherever. Would I be fine using 2500 to 3k usd a month for budget or should I alot more for a more enjoyable time ? . (Can go over but then I dont meet my monthly saving goals.)
Awww I'm following both of yiur channels. The best thing to have share dinning is you can try a lot of different food and enjoy conversation with your company .
We are planning on starting to slow travel across the World in February 2022, and will make our way to Asia in 2023. We will at some point likely stop, and it will be interesting to see where we will finally make our home; Koh Samui is now very, very high on the list thanks to you Paddy !!!!!!
Great video, I enjoyed the candid laid back interview, I will subscribe to thier channel, not sure why I haven't yet 🤔oh and glad to see note actually owns a shirt 🤣🤣🤣I
I noticed I haven't been getting any members only notifications for the videos. Just wondering if you've been posting early for members? Pretty dope content btw
Yeah dude I post them all early as usual... perhaps turn on the bell or cancel and rejoin???? if yo check the community tab on the channel you'll see all the posts you missed! sorry about that Cameron
Hi Paddy, I live in West Bangkok for 20,000 Baht a month currently. I live in my girl friend's condo so my rent is zero. Before I was paying 10,000 Baht rent so your friends are spot on. Yet another great video, thanks.
Fried Catfish initially reminded me of a Tempura style dish! Finally we see your lady in the video! I'm probably going to embarrass her now and say she looks lovely! Thanks for the "Touch of Samui" today - not a bad name for a channel! Cheers!
Dude, are we going to pick the music you come out to for the fight? If so I pick king of the swingers from jungle book. I’m as excited as the Ricky hatton vs pac fight.
I’ve heard you saying Chiang Mai is your home. I’m in Chiang now. Why don’t you come up north? There’s a lot of things possible considering the restrictions :) would be nice to do a vlog together! I’m a big fan of you 🤩
How to make 23min video out of a lunch on the beach on a rainy day with nothing much to say about anything. That is a performance in itself! Paddy raise your game please! 😉
That buffet looks amazing Paddy. These CBA restaurants popping up everywhere are a a bit of a con, dont think you will be “high” its like drinking non-alcoholic beers 👍 cheers
Oh man, I’m so hungry now! You should throw in a couple more food vlogs at different spots! Great video! I know your girlfriend doesn’t like to be on UA-cam, but what does she do for work go allow her to work from a laptop? Is she from Thailand?
I need to get out more Paddy ,i'm actually chuffed you have a partner 🤦♂️well played mate 😁Flora and Note seem a lovely couple also 🙏My first time in Samui was 2008 and twice since .But would i live there .I'm in my 50s and i do feel it's beginning to be for the younger generation concerning the nightlife .I do miss it though

The fluffy ‘batter’ is the fish Paddy! The fish is chopped super fine and then fried, no batter involved

Very insightful! I think I know what's gonna be Note's worst thing - getting his lights knocked out by Paddy next week! 🤣🤣
Paddy Doyle is back!!! Spontaneous, fun , funny, goofy....always so endearing 👍😘

I thoroughly enjoyed this. Keep em coming! A day in the life video is still interesting.
Great vid! Food looks awesome and a gorgeous venue.
Love Flora and Note! Thanks for the fun and informative chat on the beach!
Any time!
Food look so delicious and the conversation is very interesting, would be a dream to live on the island, hopefully one day, thank you for sharing
Maybe one day!
Thankyou for your amazing videos , I’m of to samui soon and your content is very appreciated
Love this vlog and especially the food you guys ate!!!! Would love to check this place out whenever we get a chance to go back to Thailand!!! Thanks for sharing Paddy🙏
I assume these couples are the Thai people and you did a good job by interviewing them.
Hi Paddy! The food looks really good 🤗
Good that you got Flora and Note to answer your questions. They have a video of there one with really good info about moving to samui.
All the best for Sweden 🇸🇪
All foods look so yummy.
OMG Looks So GREAT* Paddy thanks so much for the VIDEO's as "YOU" are Top Notch.
Very nice beach and food, thanks
Yes a video on thai dessert !
love this place.. perfect early afternoon slightly hangovered haa
Keep the vids up. Getting better and learning before you head out again.
Paddy, enjoy these vlogs at Samui. Keep doing this and keep it real. And it a great event coming on sept 4. 🤜🏼🤛🏻
This is a must when you're in Asia - picnic spread ON the beach.
Really liked hearing Note and Flora's take on year round living on Koh Samui, I think the batter your thinking of on the catfish is Panko breadcrumbs, at least that's what I thought it looked like.
Nice video.
Interesting!
planning Koh Samui in a few months. Reasonably priced seafood, bungalows, Gunga shops, Fishing resorts or bungalows on or near water?
This is your moment, Paddy!
Mark Wiens is touring America right now LOL Steal his facial expressions and you can own that lovely plot of land with the house overlooking the sea!
Was it a yam paduk fu ? The fish toped with the green mango salad ??
Stunning location, good to note for anyone considering living on Thailand on a small budget and under the age of 50 would be visa costs and medical insurance. This would be around 6k Thai Baht a month so 30k a month doesn’t leave much. Just a thought

The yellow curry crab was the best meal I have ever eaten had it on Phi Phi Island, what you have before you looks awsome
Samui one of my favourite place for vacation.. missed the place.. would like to see your vlog about Phuket one day..

Great information paddy thank you
Really useful video...thanks
So nice of you
Oow my gosh, mister Wiens look out Paddy's commin 🍜🤪
What is the name of this restaurant
Going to koh samui in August
Thanks
I finally figured out your alter ego, Ferris Bueller. Skipping school to have an adventure.
Soft shell crab 🦀 😋 yum yum
Dude, are we going to pick the music you come out to for the fight?
If so I pick king of the swingers from jungle book.
I’m as excited as the Ricky hatton vs pac fight.
I’ve heard you saying Chiang Mai is your home. I’m in Chiang now. Why don’t you come up north? There’s a lot of things possible considering the restrictions :) would be nice to do a vlog together! I’m a big fan of you 🤩
I'll back up that way soon I promise
@@PaddyDoyle. Haha, amazing. I know you have been down south for a while so it's about time mate! ;P
Fantastic video, Paddy. How many bht. is each of the soft shell crab dish？
I can't remember exactly...maybe 200 or 250
How to make 23min video out of a lunch on the beach on a rainy day with nothing much to say about anything. That is a performance in itself! Paddy raise your game please! 😉
Thanks mate 😃
That buffet looks amazing Paddy. These CBA restaurants popping up everywhere are a a bit of a con, dont think you will be “high” its like drinking non-alcoholic beers 👍 cheers
Have you been to the islands and had a mushroom shake wow defo get high
7:01 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I havent laughed that hard in a while. I want to live on samui 🥺
your best vid yet.
Paddy, I believe it is called “bits”. At least that is what they were called back in the day. Fish and Chips with bits, please 😋
Fish bits yes
Superb and colourful thumbnail, made me want to eat my phone.
haha!
Great vid, as usual, Paddy!
Such great food for such a low price.
48 €, that's what we would pay at McDonald's for 4 in Paris...
It’s called “ batter bits “😊
Ohh I could crush a grape!!
That phrase would go right over the heads of the young’uns!
...one more thing, I'm subscribed to a few channels, but I'm seriously considering becoming a patron on yours 😉
thanks :)
Amazing to me how good Note's english is... my wife is thai and she speaks great english... my thai is non-existent. Great video Paddy.
That's funny because Note was raised in Canada.
@@joykristin6797 that would explain it...
That cat fish looks like the crispy thai omelette, its like bubbly batter coated.
Oh man, I’m so hungry now!
You should throw in a couple more food vlogs at different spots! Great video!
I know your girlfriend doesn’t like to be on UA-cam, but what does she do for work go allow her to work from a laptop? Is she from Thailand?
The best Thai food is really Nyom Thai kitchen in ma nam
Very informative video. Would like to visit ❤️
You can't compete with Mark W....he's eating only lobsters ;-)
Did you eat from the plate of softshell crabs with the serving spoon? 😂🤣🤣
here in the midlands they are called batter bits :O)
I tried to watch it , I lasted 7 mins, probably just prefer when ur doing the vlog urself,
Fair enough 😚
😂👌♥️
Paddy! Introduce your girl friend to us! Thanks..
Paddy Doyle I 2nd that thanks 😊🙏👍 so much ❤💯
Panko fried catfish maybe?
Paddy we're all thinking it, so I'm gonna say it. She's really cute 😍
I need to get out more Paddy ,i'm actually chuffed you have a partner 🤦♂️well played mate 😁Flora and Note seem a lovely couple also 🙏My first time in Samui was 2008 and twice since .But would i live there .I'm in my 50s and i do feel it's beginning to be for the younger generation concerning the nightlife .I do miss it though
What a nice place on the beach 🏖️👌 and food looked yummy 🥢🍜🥗🍗🍲🍤🦀
