    Vang Vieng is one of my absolute favourite places in the world. Have such amazing memories there and it was the first time I just felt complete and utter gratitude at how lucky I am that I get to travel the world. Great video Paddy, absolutely loving this new series 💜

    Paddy I had respect for you already and loved your videos but having just started my first road trip my respect for you has gone up 1000%.
    I am sure most subscribers do not realise the effort in riding long distances but today I rode from Phuket to Hua Hin on my scooter taking just over 10 hours and I discovered the heat in protective gear is unexplainable, your back gets destroyed, your bum feels like you sat on a firework and Thais have extraordinary road rules.
    On top of that you stop and film stuff as well so the amount of work you put into each UA-cam video is amazing.
    I am going Krabi in few days then an island then back to Phuket (yes poor route planning as I am like a yo-yo going back and forth) and will only suffer a tiny amount of fatigue and soreness to the amount you must have suffered to do all your videos
    RESPECT

    Meeting those kids on the river reminds me of one of my fav memories in Thailand, where I was waiting for a boat transfer on Phi Phi Island and I was just standing in a lagoon about ankle deep and I felt something grab my leg and I looked down and it was a smiling toddler, and I remembered feeling worried what people would think seeing some bearded adult dude with a young child and then I looked up and saw his mother smiling and just wave to me and my fears subsided and I just played with the kid in the water for a little while and it was wonderful, kids really have a way of brightening your day.
