    Koh Phi Phi in Krabi Province was arguably the most popular island in Thailand a few years ago, and it's not hard to see why, however, what's it like to visit as a budget backpacker vs a person with a little more to spend?
    Today we answer that question with a simple challenge. One day we have $30 and the next we have unlimited. How much fun can we have?

    It brings back memories.....
    12 years ago on my first trip to Thailand they used to let 40 people per night stay over and party and sleep on the beach in Maya Bay......that night there was a huge thunderstorm at 10.30pm for 30 min......followed by clear sky's full of stars........totally amazing. I was so blessed that night.

      @@PaddyDoyle. Paddy, my man. Two things: 1) always travel with a roll-up bag for your electronics & passport and 2) if those waves really were intimidating to you, please find someone to show you how to deal with that situation. You did a great job in respecting the sea, but you can go through/over much higher surf in one of those kayaks. Keep up the awesome work!

I genuinely really enjoy these videos you do, you seem to travel the exact way I like to travel. It gets me so excited watching your videos and remembering when I was doing the same thing and I cant wait to be back doing it all again. Honestly Paddy, great stuff mate and keep it up, you are definitely putting a smile on my face 👍🏻😁

    One of the best videos of the trip. Thrill, adventure, suspense and some exotic locations. Paddy you really are lucky to be travelling during these times and Experiencing sights and sounds and nature that had been spoilt by throngs of tourists. PS: I had suggested in one of the earlier videos about meeting the locals. The interactions made it more interesting for me as a viewer. Great going Incredible 👍

    In the 80's you could walk easily from one beach directly to the one behind . Just a 100 meters or so! Now the local people have fenced off and built on most of this lovely place! The greed has killed it!

    Thanks a lot Paddy for sharing this vid! Brought back so many good memories as Phi phi used to be my favourite place in Thailand pre Tsunami.
    I remember having fun playing football on the beach with the locals when the tide was out at the end of the afternoon. The Italian owner of the Ciao Bella restaurant would also play with us. Pity it's become so over developed but I'm envious that you were able to enjoy during these Covid times. Keep up the good work 👍👍👍
