Welcome to E-san
I am Ubon
So now you come to isan, many things to look on, example near chiyaphum a nice temple and waterfall,and the stone henge of Thailand, near roi-et a very nice temple little up in the mountains but sorry i forgot names on them
Stay safe
Rak Thais RAk Thailand samer
fiji , fuji same same etc :-)) love from norway
Heah Paddy if you go to Buriram City you stop by my girlfriend’s friend’s massage shop. They are really good at traditional Thai massage. I tell about how I watch all your videos. I am coming to Thailand next year for a month.
@@sitphon.p9433 I ♥️ Ubon
15:19 Hahaha , those two swings beside the river have two Thai words on the board are quite interesting and creative.
ขึ้นคาน and ลงคาน . If you literally translate the words they means "clime up to a beam and clime down from the beam". But we use the beam word as being a single status in Thai.
Therefore ขึ้นคาน (clime up to a beam) actually means "be a spinster" and ลงคาน (clime down from the beam) means "No longer single"
Thanks for this explanation. got it now.
Thank you!
ขึ้นคาน หมายถึงคนหนุ่มสาวที่โสดจนแก่
I laughed at the bit where you got off your scooter and the dog was walking backwards and you looked at it, then a girl walked down the road backwards and I thought oh she’s teaching her dog how to walk backwards, then I looked at a guy over the road and he was walking backwards. Ha ha ha
I've lived here in isan for 10 years and i love it.
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT FOR TOO LONG. It’s been so hard living in Australia and not able to go home to visit families/my home country. And your videos have made things a little bit easier, you are coming up to provinces near my home town!!!! Love your videos, keep doing what you’re doing. You have become a daily routine for my boyfriend and I, we watch you during dinner every.single.day!
Paddy. In the pork larb, that is pig skin not tripe (you would only get tripe in beef larb).
He pissed off my Thai wife lol
What is tripe anyway? Interesting indeed!
@@jomontanee cow stomach
Raw beef larb has (cooked) tripe in it. One of my favorite Thai dishes.
Please don’t rush through Isaan. Isaan is what I have looked forward to most. There is soooo much to see in Isaan. Especially in the border provinces to Laos. They are just wow!
Love Isan. Love the people. The landscape. The food. The culture. ❤
Thank you for liking from Thai people.
Every time you said "Fiji" I died a little inside. It's mount Fuji not "Fiji" 😃.... Fiji is a country 😉
Paddy is a world traveler. He clearly knows the difference between the country of Fiji and Mount Fuji. He's just a little tired right now.
@@lyndalozner6706 , he’s also an avid camera operator and would have seen/used/heard of Fuji film a million times.
Yes, cried a little every time also… oh Paddy… lol
I heard that too but wasn’t sure he meant Mt Fuji in Japan. Anyway thanks to Paddy. His channel opens my eyes to many interesting places in Thailand 👍
@@lyndalozner6706 I don't think so when you repeat it consecutively
555 my wife’s aunt had a som tom shop in BKK and I learned very early on about only asking for som tom thai as compared to the Issan one.
Such a pleasure to go on a trip with you. Thailand is huge, Paddy!! I can't believe how many places I've never been before and possibly will never get the chance to go!
The reverse dogs were hilarious. Nice synchronization of the drone footage with the music too.
Loei is beautiful back in the 80’s n still is today. Ate in a quaint wooden restaurant just like the one you ate in. Thank you for capturing this moment. Definitely missed Isaan SomTam, it is an acquired taste Paddy. I love it. Cheers
I love “reverse” technique. The doggies seem mesmerized. 🤣
Awesome latest Vlog as always . By the look on your face eating that fermented Issan dish ( som tam pu pla ra ) was priceless. . Looking forward to seeing your adventures of Eastern Thailand 🇹🇭
2021 and finaly a completley honest foodreview on youtube !
🤣♥️🇹🇭
Hilarious video Paddy (may not have meant to be but had me laughing). The singing, eating that fishy dish, and the backwards scenes. Just gets better mate. Cheers!
Hiya Paddy, I am wearing my T-shirt today. You always make me laugh. Beautiful views. You are so brave. I would be crawling on that sky bridge. Lol. At least you tried the dish with the crab in it. Free, caterpillar too. Lol. Yeah, I am not going to eat that. Haha. I love your videos. Thank you for sharing. Have a great week.
The view from the Skywalk looked pretty amazing and the waterfall looked beautiful too!
Northeast/Eastern Thailand to be honest feels like a totally different country. You did it again, Paddy! Crazy awesome content.
Somtam plara is class. Granted it’s an acquired taste, but it’s really good once yiu get into it.
Great vid again,I hope you got Dreamy fixed, everywhere in Thailand is so amazing and beautiful thanks Paddy.
Looking for to the northern ebook too 👍
I totally share your "love" for Isan style Som Tam. The first time I tried it I spent a few hours in the bathroom until my stomach recovered. Great video as always. For your drone compilation I need to find the time. But I am sure to watch it, maybe in a few sittings. Smile. Thanks for the wonderful video and good luck with dreamy. I am sure there are lots more dirt roads ahead.
PS: I usually watch UA-cam on a big 4K TV screen. Afterwards I need to find the video on my phone to like and comment. It just would be wrong to watch your master pieces on a small screen.
Lol that was extremely entertaining watching you eat that crab salad 😂😂
My wife is from Isan. She immigrated to the US upon our marriage. I was living in Hawaii at the time. She would go down to the beach and catch sand crabs to put in her som tam, and yes they would not be cooked.
Another great video Paddy. 🔥 edits!
Hahahaha you’re cracking me up with your food review this time. I’m gonna need to try dish :)) safe travels!
You tortured me with that larp dish Paddy. 😛 Yummy.
Excellent work as usual. 🍻
Loei is the most popular province for nature and culture lovers in a laidback setting. Thanks Paddy!
lol, ditto Bodil! I was throwing my socks at the TV, ha. We forgive you Paddy. Just taking the piss :)
Hahahahahahaha, mate...your face as you took that last bite 😂
I did that tractor ride in Nov 2022 -- at one of the stops they make there is an awesome giant swing that you can swing on while looking at the flat top mountain.
I’ve tried this dish before and I must say that i got quite a shock when I bit into the crab in the salad. It’s definitely an acquired taste!
Paddy, you still have progress to be made on your impersonation of Mark Wiens 😂 Especially with the Som Tam...
Omgosh my fav type of som tum! Thanks for sharing our beautiful country side❤️
One thing that struck me in this video was how lonely it must be to be traveling alone. I'm happy you have found Miss P and gets visits from her now and then 🤗 Once again a great video, the lettuce part reminded me of the time I found a worm in my longbean 🤷♀️
Excellent intro to Isan Paddy. I'm excited to see this part of Thailand, but am with you on the the smell of raw crab. Really nice to see Dreamy hanging in there the best she can!
ดีใจนะที่คุณชอบมัน เป็นจังหวัดเล็กๆของภาคอีสานและแน่นอนมันคือบ้านเกิดฉัน ฉันอาศัยอยู่ในจังหวัดนี้ และยังมีที่ท่องเที่ยวอีกมากมายที่คุณจะต้องชอบ ไปประกาศให้โลกได้รู้ ว่าเมืองไทยมีอะไรดี
15:19 Paddy seems to have picked👉 "UP-CARN" 😁🤣
It's funny to hear you talk about the fermented crab dish and "a rabbit's dinner." My wife eats both very often. I tease her because it stinks terribly, and I call the plate of greens "rabbit food." My own rule is, if it stinks, I'm not eating it. My wife does a pretty good job of screening Thai food for me, but if it stinks I screen it out for myself. Oh, and it's funny how you say "Mt. Fiji," as in the Fiji Islands, and Chiang Khan as Shang Klan. Hahaha! Good video, Paddy.
Paddy, do what I do, ask for Som Tam without 'old fish' (bor plaa tow - no old fish, in Essan Thai). Loei is a beautiful part of Essan, I spent a great few days in a village near Dan Sai with me Thai family and friends (we raised money back in Ban Sam Rong nr Khon Kaen to help my brother-in-law's home village nr Dan Dai build a temple). Great party and Buddhist ceremony. Enjoy
To be frank, I never feel the same vibe in Isaan as I do in other parts of Thailand. I could go on but will leave it at that. The warmth of Northern Thailand and the culture of Central Thailand are found in each of these places respectively. This isn’t a judgement but a matter of preference. No vibe better than in CM and CR for this traveler. Paddy, I appreciate your candidness...saying that everything is great is fake. You communicate in a polite but real way. What the viewers sometimes do not process is that not every Thai person welcomes foreigners and you feel this too. It’s part of their honesty. It’s fun getting off the ‘pretend train’ when real dialogue can ensue.
Hey Paddy, great video. Wish I too was out and about but I'm stuck in for 14 days in quarantine after 3 flights I made it to Lao. It's as warm as I recall it, but looking forward to leaving this hotel.
Hey Paddy Doyle,
Your video are improving rapidly! Really cool content, I can see how time you put into all your videos. Btw, do you mean Mount Fuji?? Kind regards.
The little Honda, near the end, a QA50 was my 1st ever motorcycle when I was 7
Oh Paddy ❤️ I needed a good old laugh . Your face eating lunch ❤️ absolutely hilarious 🤣 FYI that would have been my reaction too
Wowwww I love your blog 💛
I'm glad you stay push in Thailand, I was worried watching your August VDO. Please keep going with your channel I really enjoy binge watching your VDO!
Chiang Khan, not sure how you got spelling wrong. It's a well known trendy destination especially for Thai people.
Hey Paddy, unless I am wrong, I think it is Chiang Khan, with "h". I stayed there 3 or 4 years ago and it was magical to have breakfast and dinner along the Mekong river, and, in the morning, watch the mist dissipate. Have a safe trip, it's fun discovering with you. Thanks!
Is there not many mosquito, near the river, its one thing i fear in Thailand because of the dengue fever.
Stay safe
Rak Thais RAk Thailand samer
As Mickey always says over a dish of sticky rice, "mmm, like the smell of your first love" 😅
BTW. That sallad is perfect! It have no pesticides as that caterpillar is enjoying it. Stay healthy!
they charge extra for the caterpillar... ;) extra protein
I remember somewhere in Loei staying in some mud brick villas along the Mekong. It was run by a Canadian guy and his Thai wife. We had the best Thai breakfast with them overlooking the Mekong
Very nice update
The walking back of the dogs is very interesting.
Aah ha Paddy finally in Isan. I thought you give this region a miss. Since you are here don't forget to look up at Roi Et. In particular Suwannaphum. It's a historical place. Thanks
Lol, I cracked up when you were eating that Isan uncooked crab dish. Yikes! I LOVE Laab (Larb).
OMG The Lunch was TOO FUNNY=I'm still Laughing ...LOL But the Video (Before) was GREAT* ...Ooooh Dreamy=Hang in there Sweetie*
I love your Honesty....Keep it up.
It’s cold now 25/11/2021 in Northen Esan.
Mid November onward. The wind get stronger in the evening.
Hey Paddy
I stay right near place you went to view Fiji (Nonghin). I ride up that mountain every morning for coffee on my Kawasaki 175. You really missed out when you were at the notch that you said wasn't very interesting. Had you walked a little further you would have started on a fantastic nature trail. Will be there all winter. When were you there? You probably rode right by my house! How did you not love the Papaya salad??!!
Hello Paddy, the city you call Chiang Klang ...look like the same city we call Chiang Khan in Isan ;-p , have safe trip thanks for your video
Firstly, I do appreciate your travel vlogs particularly with your goal of visiting all of them in this series.
Loei is a very scenic and unique Province with it's strong connection to neighboring Laos with differences in cuisine and architecture from typical Thai. However, it's a pity you spent so much time on your extended introspection of bike, boots and breakfast and not so much on the natural wonders. Your vlog concentrated on just 2 towns, part of a small waterfall and the Skywalk tourist attraction.
The errors also grated. Mt Fiji! Chiang KLAN! Tripe!
I think he start to getting bored of this trips or aim to finish this trip before end of december (I notice since he left koh samui). He rush through every province just to complete 77 provinces. As he said he will go to bangkok at chrismas so isan tour would be very roughly
@@dueyduey1611 only so many temples you can look at before they all look the same.
@@markshepperson3603 apart from those temples, isan still has some interesting place to go. Loei, the province in this video, has the trekking to the view point of phu kradueng which is very famous for thai tourists.
Chieng khan, the small village near khong river which is also popular among thais. Paddy just explore by drive through and never stop at least 1 night
@@dueyduey1611 I live in Issan and sadly yet to get to Loei.
With virus and looking after mother and dogs it’s either stay at home together or have a few days out solo. Nong Khai is my number one place for a relaxing few days.
Great stuff .
Getting close to us brother 😁🙌🙏
I ordered this som tam in Bangkok in April ..but it was on the menu as Som Tham Laos ....I didn't realize you're not supposed to actually eat the crab !!😂
That was really interesting. The Fuji/Fiji comments made us all laugh too :)
We Cambodians love the rice patty pickle crabs by itself. Love with som tam too
Chiang Khan on the Mekong river ....very beautiful.....and walking mountains ...great.....alllala lala loi
Your papaya salad reaction make me laughing sp hard 😂
Hey Paddy I just saw this today. I have to say you have to learn to eat sotum. Its a wonderful salad. The genuine local ones are really spicy and strong. The ones I have eaten in Bangkok and even Singapore are the milder version.
That soft squiggly piece you showed us in your lap was the skin of the pig. It is boiled first then all the fat cut off then sliced thinly into those little strips. The sum tam you ate is know as 'sum tam Loas', hence the crab. Ask for 'sum tam Thai' and you'll still get the pha rah but minus the crab. When you get to Korat, ask for 'Pad me Korat'. You'll like it.
Hi Paddy,
Don’t feel bad about the Isaan Papaya salad with Pla Lah (fermented fish). I’m Thai and don’t care for it either. If I buy cooked food like curry at the Chiangmai fresh markets I always make sure the dishes do not have Pla Lah added.
I hope you get to visit Wat Somdet Phu Ruea in Loei’s Phu Ruea district.
You need to go to Chiang Khan at night when Walking Street is open. Also sunsets are beautiful from many of the bars and restaurants overlooking the Mekhong.
Laab Moo crunchy?
One of my fave dishes if done by the right cook.
Proper Somtam with pla raa is fine if the pla raa is cooked ie boiled before use.
Both the above always with sticky, never steam rice.
And the best versions of the above are always in Isaan.
Paddy, the shoes must be heavy with the mud. Appreciate the much effort taken for this journey. Tq. Take care
when you said issan is spicy on higher levels I looked over at my wife and said beleive me I know, we enjoy your videos
Did I catch a quick reference to ‘Squid Game’ in the jumps on the glass bridge? 🤣 Looking like a nice area - I’m a Larb lover too man, looking nice but wasn’t it skin in there rather than tripe?
I have to say; Your editing is certainly next level, even the way you ended the video at the same place and the same frame of mind as you started your adventure.
My only question is ~ Finding a place to stay, travelling, choosing the places to visit, filming and talking about the place you`re at. Then, you begin to search for music to fit the mood of the video you`re editing. ~ How do you fit it all in?
Hope you get Dreamy`s oil leak fixed soon, Please be careful not to get any oil on your rear tire, it`s like riding on ice.
Welcome to Isan, come visit buriram (the countryside, the city’s abit too busy for me) and check out the beautiful countryside if you have time on this trip or happen to pass by! 😊😊😊
Hi Paddy, if you’re still at Loey. I recommend you try Tum Dong Dang, like Som Tum but they use Dong Dang (iFermented rice flour) instead of papaya. 👍👍👍
You deserve 🏅 for trying the raw fermented crab 😂
💕 Your video is the best, as always 💕
555 love it what you called this province as a song
okay, that’s NOT a tripe that’s simply just the outer layer of pork skin. Quite chewy and has a subtle bite, but NOT a tripe.
Hey Ricky Gervais, I recommend going to see the cave, it's a long walk up but definitely worth it
glad you mentioned you're not supposed to eat the crab bits lol... I have a hell of a time avoiding that!
Your face was priceless eating that Som Tum. My wife is from Isaan so I know the dish and smell well. I never eat it becauseof the smell. Larb Gai and sticky rice is always safe. Eventually you will come across the stalls on the side of the road where you can up a bag of live frogs and geckos if you fancy super fresh.
😂😂😂😂😂. You will need to cook them though.
I will share your video to my friends in USA, I think it's very good for them 😁😊
Awesome thank you!
Best som tam and bbq chicken is in Issan! I also had ant larvae salad there and it was good!
Been looking for Dreamy around Loei...
There comes that time..... that everyone knows, but hesitates to speak out........ that it's time to put one to sleep. Pleasant dreams, dreamy.
In Isan when ordering Som Tum I order Som Tum Thai - No Boo No Barrar just couldn’t get use to that after 30 yrs going there it is a very acquired taste but wonderful area although my preference is the South. We love your content great viewing Paddy
I'm sorry to say, I thin it's time to get that CT-150... Great video series though! Looking forward to your Samut Prakan episode.
Honda Monkey there in the one shot. Nice bike; looking to get one myself in the spring
Hi Paddy👋,For your information-I am Fully Thai Esarn,the "Larb Pork" you ordered in the Province Loei at the restaurant is not Tripe,its Cooked Sliced Pork Skin ok.
Paddy I'm heading there this week, My wife's family are there and we are coming from Sydney to visit.
Paddy, Loei isn't really Issan. Issan is Northeastern Thailand. Loei is kind of sandwiched in between Issan and northern Thailand. Keep going east by southeast and you'll find Issan.
ถูกต้องครับ. ขนาดคนไทยยังคิดว่า เลย เป็นภาคเหนือเลยครับ. ที่จริง จ.เลย คือภาคอีสาน
Isan food will have strong smell and more spicy than other regions. Original one 😁
LMFAO! My Thai wife absolutely loves Som Tom w/ fermented crab. I call it "ass crab" because....well, it tastes like....ok, you get it. I literally love almost, repeat almost all Thai food. The AC Som Tom is a glaring exception. Mai dee!
It's not Chiang Klan. It is called "Chiang Kan" with no "L" .
I can understand your crabiness after experiencing a similar dining, despite many wonderful Isan Meals throughout the country. After that I can only think think I had been raised on 'Issan light'. albeit a bit a phet! :)
