Went on a daytrip from Bangkok to see the massive Buddha image in late 90's. Looks even better now with the surrounding greenery well established. Those gardeners may be loud, but they've done a good job!
Awesome golden Buddha on the mountain, first saw it 25 years ago, still just as beautiful. I really enjoy Si Racha and the temple there. Been many times. Sorry you did not make it to Koh Si Chang a real nice laid back island. Another great video Paddy. Finish line is in sight. Hope to be there.
I am actually not looking forward to you hitting the finish line. Are you sure there arnt 88 provinces and you missed a few.? I remember the first vlog I watched that one with title "Idiot" where you climbed that insanely rickety ladder up a mountain after that I just kept watching.
@@ian-wu2bb I agree not looking to forward to the end of this chapter, we can just hope the next one is better. Paddy needs a break. Over a year on the road. Fighting fatigue and loneliest. He is a champ!
Wow, that Buddha image on the mountain was amazing!! Congrats on getting to the penultimate province Paddy, and happy birthday! Hope you feel better and have a great birthday celebration with Miss P and your friends.
FWI Many Japanese and S Koreans live around Sriracha ( some in Pattaya also) because the fathers work for international companies based at the Eastern Seaboard industrial park nearby. The Eastern Seaboard industrial park has many of the brand name international companies making / assembling electronics, air conditioners, automobiles, automotive parts, certain airline part- a real mix of international manufacturers there.
Hi Paddy, the large presence of Japanese in Sri Racha is not primarily related to tourism. Sri Racha served as a preferred location for Japanese who live in Thailand. Many work at the numerous industrial estates in the area at Japanese companies operating there. Sri Racha is home to a large Japanese international school and many restaurants and pubs exist to cater to this locally based Japanese community.
Happy belated birthday Paddy. Wow 76 provinces, where has that time gone? Thankyou for this incredible virtual adventure so far. Look forward to the next level 😎
That sure was a way better road to take and enjoy from Pattaya to Bangkok mate, a epic laser budha 🙏 We rushed in a cab from pattaya to DMK airport as quick as we could this year and seen nothing much alomg the way, but that was cause plans changed so quick due to what was going on in our situation at that time 😉 Anyhow as always, C Ya in the next one, cheers 🙌🍻
Hiya Paddy, the Budda on the rock. I have never seen anything like that before. Thank you for the tour around. I hope you are all good now. No split-screen on that VW. So not the real deal. I do not think. Although still a nice wagon. Great video. Good vibes. Have a great week, Paddy.
Thailand has the fourth highest number of Japanese expatriates in the world after the United States, China and Australia. " Sri-ra-cha " (ศรีราชา) Chonburi probably is the 2nd largest Japanese community in Thailand because of many Japanese own business and factories are located here in the area call 'Amata City' (industrial estate) and Japanese companies make up about 63% of the total number of factories in the industrial estates. The rest are domestic clients or foreign investors from 27 countries. Sriracha also the home of (world famous/original) "Sriracha hot sauce", the sauce was born here in Sriracha, Chonburi, Thailand and that where the name came from.
Yet again another fantastic Vlog . That image of Buddha on the cliff truly amazing. Hope you enjoyed your time for some R & R and that Volkswagen was awesome if that was original they are worth a lot of dollars. Take care mate .
Can’t believe its so close to the end of the ride 😳🫣 76 already 😳 Looking forward to see Phuket again 😍🇹🇭😍 Have a wonderful week, Paddy and stay safe 🙏
And a very BIG Happy B'day to you, Paddy, one of my favorite vloggers, enjoy it, relax a bit, clear the mind, and feed your soul, brother. (btw: if only to be 36 again, my friend.)
Speedy recovery-old school remedy-hot toddy in the Us-whiskey/bourbon, honey and lemon-fix you right up BEFORE BED coz no drinking an driving. Have the best bday ever and enjoy, I know you’ll have footage at least for yourself lol. Gorgeous temples, good food good travels-too much fun!!! Happy safe trails🙏🏻❤️oops forgot to say the toddy goes in hot water and heavy honey is the key 🥂 cheers
Hopefully I'll see you around Koh Tao! Some really great hikes, check out Grapeview (trail starts near Dusit Buncha, overlooking Koh Nang Yuan), or Laem Thien (trail starts near Tarna Align, goes to an abandoned beach resort with great snorkeling). Maya Bar for sunset, The Local for after sunset. Depending on when you're going we have a few larger events going on.
I remember thinking - probably around the time you filmed this - that you sounded like you had a scratchy throat (you must have posted something on Instagram) and I wondered if you were getting sick, or were sick. As much as it seems like time has flown by, I know it probably seems like it has both flown by and drug on, especially with COVID slowing things down early on. I am so excited for you to reach your goal of all 77 provinces - and I can't wait to see what the next adventure will be. Next level, for sure! 🥰
Good vid. I'm based in Pattaya and we do big bike rides every Thursday. There are a lot of great roads and sites to explore around here. Also, I had a sore throat Tuesday and tested pos for cvid. Have you tested yourself for cvid?
Hope you’re feel better Paddy! I thought your voice sounded a tad different from the last video but nevertheless, thanks for sharing another awesome vlog!! You totally give me a different perspective on Pattaya and yes, I’m certain to pay this place a visit sometime in the future 😊
Happy birthday, Paddy! Great video as usual. Hope you feel better. Colony of bats is what it's usually called. Had it been called community of bats, you can call them combats. LoL
Hi Paddy, great video. The toll way between BKK and Pattaya is pretty boring, so this might be a good alternative. The Mudskippes are so fun to watch. Besides the Mudskipper going on land, I can think of the Climbing gourami. It can even climb trees. The ell and the snakehead goes on land as well. There are probably lots of other fishes that visit land. Sounds fishy but I think it's true :) HAPPY B-DAY!!!
Happy bday!! Followed u since chiang mai teacher times... was excited to hear u were traveling all the provinces. But a little disappointed at your Chachoensaow visit u did not visit the main attractions... hope u feel better soon
I've noticed your voice is a little gruff Paddy. Take care and I just love this place, on my list to visit when I come to Thailand. Since your tour is often within a couple of hours outside Bangkok this is my new plan now. I am a senior female solo traveller and hope to see you in October
Correct : Sriracha is not exactly popular for Japanese tourists. Many Japanese employee live here because this town is closed to a lot of industrial estate that have many Japanese factories.
You forgot to mention that motorbikes are not allowed on the toll road. Recently traveled from Chiang Mai to Pattaya on my motorbike and it took 4 hours from Bangkok to Pattaya following the Fastest google maps route( no tolls)

Ko Si Chang is arguably Thailand's worst island!

Happy Birthday Patty! Congrats on getting though your second to LAST province!
Happy birthday Paddy! i have followed your trip since when you started from Chiang Mai! every single video has been very informative and entertaining.
Sriracha you go visit Kho Sichang. Rarely foreigners know about this. Try to explore there if you have time.
สุขสันต์วันเกิดนะคะ ขอให้มีความสุขมากๆ สุขภาพร่างกายแข็งแรงคะ 🥰🥳🎉🎂🎁

Ahhh so close
Happy Birthday PaddY..!!
Happy Birthday PD.... As we shared the same birthday....... 7/4
Good vid. I'm based in Pattaya and we do big bike rides every Thursday. There are a lot of great roads and sites to explore around here.
Also, I had a sore throat Tuesday and tested pos for cvid. Have you tested yourself for cvid?
Yes, I think a 'sore throat ' is an early symptom of the latest covid variant
Happy Birthday Paddy.

Hope you feel better soon and Happy Birthday!
Bats? Ugh. Can't help it but they made me think of the virus.
Paddy.. Love your videos... epic footage and great info... Q: What drone do you use? Thanks again..😁
Another great video. Wishing you a happy birthday. Still a young guy
👍🙏
Happy birthday kha Paddy
Happy Birthday Sir!
Never seen that Buddha before in a vlog. Happy birthday get well
Love it mate
Happy birthday, Paddy! Great video as usual. Hope you feel better. Colony of bats is what it's usually called. Had it been called community of bats, you can call them combats. LoL
I've been here in 2018! very nice place
Happy Birthday!!

Not the first time I have seen a Thai worker cut an entire *flat* lawn with a weed trimmer. I would fall asleep if that were me going back and forth.
Happy Birthday paddy..Did you ever found your red converse you love?
Happy bday!!
Followed u since chiang mai teacher times... was excited to hear u were traveling all the provinces. But a little disappointed at your Chachoensaow visit u did not visit the main attractions... hope u feel better soon
Happy birthday I forgot how to feel 36 that was 16 years ago for me anyway have a wonderful birthday
Sri Racha is the place that created the Sri Racha spicy sauce
Man flu or covid

Aww the bats ❤️🦇
You forgot to mention that motorbikes are not allowed on the toll road.
Recently traveled from Chiang Mai to Pattaya on my motorbike and it took 4 hours from Bangkok to Pattaya following the Fastest google maps route( no tolls)
I think they should allow motorbikes over 250 cc on the Toll road
Sriracha is famous for chilli sauce.
Happy Birthday!
