Don't worry. I'm watching it on a 100 inch projector screen. You're life size right now. Great video's by the way. Booked my ticket for next year march. Gonna play out the North of Vietnam. Gonna start in Da Nang and go up Vietnam for a month. Did Thailand, Songkran and the Mae Song Loop 3 years ago. Koh Tao was easy my favorite place there. It was unbelievable!
Omg, I been to Vn at least 15 times in the past 10yrs but never did the loop. Heard about it and I am all pumped to do the loop in Oct22 when I travel to Vn . That was an amazing content but scary too watching you ride on the 1 meter broad roads. What a cracker of a video Paddy take care and stay safe till we meet for a beer somewhere in the great outdoors hope soon.
I ordered a DJI mini 3 today, and I'm glad I did. Your drone footage, especially the 'follow me' on the bike is outstanding. Looking forward to trying this out on my honeymoon in Thailand in September.
Can’t wait until the installment. But Patty I am kicked back in my recliner watching on Samsung 65” 4K TV which by the way are selling for $527.99 at Sam’s Club. I watched your video on Koh Samui . We have been there before and out to Mango Bay . You have given me more insight about the island.
I've been always saying that Vietnam is the most beautiful country when you looking for distance views, when you Ha Giang loop or the last part of road (Saigon-Dalat) but from the close distance it's completely dirty and all the magic disappears. Any national park in Poland of example will beat close distance nature in Vietnam. Long distance views in Vietnam = nr. 1. Short distance views in Vietnam = not even close to nice
@@babajaga8180 They are gradually cleaning up everything. Ha Long Bay is one of the examples. Few years ago, the touristy Ha Long Bay was full of plastic bottles and cups, but it has been cleaned up. I just came back to visit it last month. It's absolutely wonderful.
@@babajaga8180 Comparing the natural scenery of Poland to that of Vietnam is nonsensical. How can you compare the scenery of a temperate country with that of a tropical country? How? Mikei's comment makes sense comparing the sceneries of the tropical countries.
As long as Vietnam is still ruled by the oppressive and exploitive Communist regime, her potential remains greatly diminished. For any 1% that wants to stay, 99% of the population wants to get out, and many have risked their lives doing just that (for example, 39 doomed lives found in UK container truck recently on the news, and that's only what's been reported), unfortunately. Yet another shocking and also recent example is that during the Covid pandemic when almost all countries assisted their citizens with financial aids in one form or another, the corrupt and murderous Vietnamese Commie regime saw it just another opportunity not to help but to exploit its ruled citizens even more, essentially making money over the corpses of its citizens by presumably killing at least 30K of them, due to misdiagnosis and being and cramped into barbwired unhygenic living quarters for isolations, so that they had to sleep on the concrete floors, with inadequate food, water, or medicine, like animals, with the fake nostril Covid test kits, mislabeled as approved by World Health Organization (WHO) in Việt Á scandal, colluded by at least 4 different government agencies (Y Tế , Khoa Học, Công Nghệ, Quân y) and the top Politburo members, including Nguyễn Phú Trọng, Phạm Minh Chính, Nguyễn Xuân Phúc. Murderous Vietnamese Commie regime even had a thug murdered Christian pastor Giuse Trần Ngọc Thanh, like it has done with many other pastors across the nation. There is a reason why the current Commie Vietnam ranks at the bottom of the world in freedom of speech and freedom of the press, barely above Commie China and Commie North Korea. Similarly, its passport ranks at the bottom, 89th out of 111 countries for a reason, barely above North Koea 104th rank. even below many African nations. For comparison, South Korea 2nd rank. That's what Republic of South Vietnam would have likely been ranked among at least the top 10 had it not been invaded and occupied by the North Vietnamese Commie terrorists, aided by Commie Soviet and Commie China. Travelers to Vietnam in her current form (not at all like this before the Communists took over) should keep this in mind. Behind the beauty of the land and smiling faces at popular tourist destinations, there are a lot of darkness and sorrow, horror, and sufferings all over the country.
Although I watch (almost) all your videos, I never comment, because I don't want to bother you. You have lots of work already and not need to read my comments. But today I just have to write. You are really the "master" of vlogging. I love this video, and you really gave me the feeling of riding along. You are right, compared to Thailand (and I just visited Phu Chi Fa because of you) this is really next level. I watch many content creators and think: How come they have so many subscribers? If someone deserves to have lots of subscribers and to be watched, it is you! I hope your channel gets much, much bigger, and I hope you stay grounded! Your authenticity is what I love! Keep up the good work and know that I will be quietly enjoying and appreciating your work! 💗🙏
Ha Giang Loop, Ninh Binh, and Hai Van Pass are next, but don't forget Son Doong Cave - Vietnam's largest cave on the planet earth. It's large enough to house an entire New York City block, complete with 40 story skyscrapers. It's said, less people have seen the inside of Son Doong Cave in Vietnam than have stood on the summit of Mount Everest.
I just watched this on my phone but I will rewatch it in 4k on my 75 inch tv tomorrow. We feel like we are actually on your bike with you watching it on the big screen. Your 4k is another level on anything we have seen on You Tube. My wife and I are absolutely loving your videos in Vietnam. I am booked for a tour of the Ha Giang Loop for late August 2022.
Well around the 19 minute mark my palms were getting sweaty and my heart was thumping. Thank you for taking us along for the ride, because I do not think I would ever be brave enough to drive along those cliffs!
I did the loop three years ago and I haven't seen anyone do it justice yet, untill now. What an incredible shots Paddy! Thanks for letting me relive this wonderful experience & enjoying yours at the same time!
Had the good fortune to travel through northern Vietnam back in 2018 and i have to attest to many of your observations and comments Paddy. As great as Ha Giang Loop is, there are even grander and better scenes to behold by deviating from it. We did a lot of them and found ourselves confronted with stunningly epic and spectacular sceneries and locations that back then, and quite probably even today, very few tourists had traversed. The one thing that struck me, no matter how out of the way we were located, we never lost mobile phone coverage...never! With the terrain and topography that is northern Vietnam, that was just unbelievable in itself (not that we wanted the coverage but it did give us comms if we ever found ourselves needing some back up...which we didn't because the locals were always wanting to engage with smiles and friendliness). You are re-igniting fond memories Paddy.
I saw him drinking beer at the end of the video, which is illegal. If he is inspected, he will have to pay a fairly high fine, about 6,000,000 VND, equivalent to 270 USD. And moreover, bring back cans because there is no one in that area to collect trash
Hi Paddy. I have a problem now old son. I've had to add this loop to my bucket list! I laughed. I cried. I sat in my living room in western New South Wales, Australia with my mouth hanging open while I watched your epic journey. 10/10 Paddy. You have developed your craft as a top-class vlogger to "the next level". The drone imagery was stunning. Your dialogue was perfect for the occasion. 60 shades of green covered the countryside as you captured the essence of the journey. The sunset moment was perfect, and all the better for being an honest "find" in northern Vietnam. Keep up the good work - UA-cam: You need to pay this guy more money. Move over Mark Weins .............😄
Mountain road view of northern Vietnam is really amazingly beautiful. I'm living in the northern Thailand with beautiful mountain view but the view in this video is literally another level.
Wow Paddy. I've been following you from the beginning and have watched your videos on my phone a lot. But now, I have to watch your videos from Vietnam on my big TV. You are truly in one of the most beautiful areas on earth. Great camera work too. Fantastic. Really NEXT LEVEL 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Paddy! This is Hands Down the most breathtakingly beautiful scenery you have ever shown us. You are one of the richest men in world 💙. Also, please don’t kill yourself! The last bit of your drive about gave me a heart attack! 🤪
Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god! What a crazy and breathtaking drive! It made me shiver. But your trip was so beautiful, maybe the best video I've ever seen on UA-cam. What a beautiful country Vietnam is. I had no idea before. Thanks a lot Paddy for this great video. Have a good time and take care.

Thanks Paddy. That was just ..... WOW. For some odd reason I had quite low expectations of your Vietnam tour in terms of scenery (after lovely Thailand), but Holy Moly what a place it is so far. Breathtaking beyond words. Safe to say it's easily blown my expectations out of the water in epic fashion. As for some of your choices of paths to take, there's a very thin line between bravado/adventure and stupidity/accidents, and I think you cruised along that line a little to closely there ! Ha ha. Please stay safe mate and thanks for all you do. Vietnam is absolutely jaw dropping and incredible.
I'm so happy that you decided to do the Ha Giang loop! I dit it a few years ago when I was 19 years old and it was the best experience of my vietnam trip!! The footage is amazing! Im so glad to be able to experience this again thru your videos. Have a great trip! I'm looking forward to your next video!
The breathtaking scenery seemed to be endless. Watching the drone flying pass the man standing on the edge of the mountain cliff rock, is truly an incredible treat. AMAZING!
I just came across your channel randomly and I absolutely love it, I travelled in Vietnam by motorbike 10 years ago, watching your videos brings back soo many amazing memories, you’re capturing it all sooo well. You’re making me want to do it again!!!! Keep up the great videos and enjoy every minute 😃
Me and a mate did the loop in March 2020 just before everything went sideways. Best biking experience of my life. Make sure you do the Ma Pi Leng pass, absolutely breathtaking scenery. Keep up the good work Paddy, your videos are amazing and just make me want to go back even more. Thank you 👏👏😁😁👍
Absolutely incredible photography! I've been catching up on all your Thailand videos (which are great) while watching your Vietnam series. Not that your Thailand footage wasn't excellent, but I'm watching in 4K on a 65" screen and there is a noticeable difference in the crispness and color of the Vietnam footage. Your stuff is just getting progressively better and better! I've never left a comment before, but felt this one deserved it. One of your best!
Arguably your best video yet Paddy! Simply jaw-droppingly beautiful, and the scenery's not too bad either! The production value is second to none and your narration and easy-going chat really make us feel like we're there with you. So much so that I was even a little scared for my own safety on that little pathway until I remembered I wasn't actually there! Maybe one day?! More of the same please, but do be careful!

There is a reason why Commie Vietnam is ranked near the bottom in freedom of speech and freedom of the press index, along with fellow Commie China and North Korea. The terrorism comes from the regime itself which routinely kills dissidents at police stations and in jails mostly without even using guns. Travelers to Vietnam in her current form (not at all like this before the Communists took over) should keep this in mind. Behind the beauty of the land and smiling faces at popular tourist destinations, there are a lot of darkness and sorrow, horror, and sufferings all over the country.
Việt Á Scandal rocked Vietnam. As long as Vietnam is still ruled by the oppressive and exploitive Communist regime, her potential remains greatly diminished. For any 1% that wants to stay, 99% of the population wants to get out, and many have risked their lives doing just that (for example, 39 doomed lives found in UK container truck recently on the news, and that's only what's been reported), unfortunately.

Absolutely speechless, there are no words to describe how beautiful the scenery is in this video...thoroughly enjoyed taking that trip with you and experiencing the 'wow' moments and the occasional 'oh sh**, that's scary' parts. Enthralling 👍😬😱
Just found your channel, have travelled across vietnam afew times now and your videos really reminds me of how beautiful vietnam is. Really an underrated country for travelling.

Paddy, im so impressed of you videos. Just jaw dropping. Love your channel. Vietnam impress me, and after you go ther the channel realy is next level. Continue this fantastic work Paddy, love it. Good luck.
OMG!!! I realised halfway through your traverse on those narrow tracks that I was holding my breath.....That was absolutely terrifying as felt I was on Super Dreamy too! The footage is amazing. That guy can have that ledge all too himself as far as I'm concerned Such a captivating video. Thanks Paddy❣
Thank you for capturing the wonderful scenery of Ha Giang and northern Vietnam, Vietnam is a Peace-loving Country but our forefathers sacrificed a lot to protect every hill from the Chinese invaders. country in the period 1979-1989.
Just epic views! Ha Giang Loop is just amazing. Next level for sure Paddy. Love the narrative you add here and there. Some of those Roads looking a bit scary. Think I will continue to live vicariously through you mate. The members zoom meetup was great. Love chatting with ya personally mate and playing trivia! You earned that beer for sure!
Comparing travelling destinations we can boil down to 2 main aspect: the core value - the scene, the place itself and the conditions in between - in Vietnam it's 10 in core value & 5 in conditions. I mean you get those magnificent landscape but you'll have to deal with harsh conditions, resulting in a tiring yet joyful moments - in Thailand it's 8 in core value & 8 in conditions, things are not as grand but the total conditions are way more better, resulting in an overall satisfied moments
I agree with you, Vietnam has the advantage of a long terrain, with distinct summers and winters, even snow. Vietnam has many different cultures. Thailand has been at peace for 500 years, but Vietnam has gone through many wars and embargoes in the past 140 years, especially the very harsh rule of France, which has severely damaged the culture of this country. I agree with your assessment, but with a little correction. Vietnam value 9.5, service 6.5 and Thai value 8, service 9
Ha Giang Loop, a real paradise on earth has been found! Sitting on the edge of the mountain rock at the end of the video is absolutely insane. For your safety, always remember to slow down your car or motorbike when making any sharp turns.
This Vietnam series can't be beat! This is just incredible. You weren't kidding when you said you wanted it to be like we're right there with you. Those first person shots of you zipping around the Insanely high twists & turns had me gripping on to my chair for dear life. I could only imagine how you felt in real time. 😅 Thank you, Paddy for this amazing journey in Vietnam. It's simply beautiful. Please be safe, and enjoy it to the fullest!
I'm not sure if there are UA-cam awards a la the Oscars but if so this video should be a nominee. Probably the most gorgeous and amazing UA-cam video I have seen so far. Wow, just wow.
I was heading into a year of back to back operations at the end of March 2023. Prior to Covid I spent so much time in Vietnam and fell so in love with the people the culture and the way of life. One of my bucket list items was to ride the Ha Giang Loop, and not knowing if I’d ever be able to ride in Vietnam again. So 1st March we flew off to our first destination in Vietnam and I got to complete the loop along with visiting many other locations. It’s great to watch you ride along the loop. It was the most stunning ride.

Just laying in bed watching on big screen 4K. Holy crap. Incredible. I thought thailand was beautiful, but the countryside is just wow. I got to tell you you must be crazy driving that bike on the edge of the cliffs. Crazy bugger 👍 A big thank you for this. I will watch more than once for sure. Best wishes, Rob , Toronto 🇨🇦
Vietnam could double the volume of visitors, if not quadruple, if the Vietnamese could stop littering indiscriminately, practice food safety and sanitation. And, the government needs to crackdown those who cheat and scam the tourists. Now, that will surely increase the number of tourists.
@@nocancelcultureaccepted9316 I suggest they implement a tourist tax and use that to clean up the litter as that's the most offensive thing to me in a country that beautiful. Food safety, well, you can always pay more at the ones that cater to Westerners, but don't expect that for $1 meals....cannot have it both ways, either cheap and good, but could possibly get food poisoning or more expensive...you choose.
@@nocancelcultureaccepted9316 what’s your intentions? I’ve seen you post the same ignorant comment about Vietnam all over the channel. You’ve encountered some experiences and now you draw a negative generalized conclusion about my country and people? I don’t deny there are lots of flaws in Vietnam but please enlighten me a perfect place for visitors? Stop being childish!
@@DaiCaThanh71 I forgot to mention lies, cheats, scams, stealings, and deceits are the typical characters of the Vi et. Not just the Vi et in Vietnam but also the Vi et overseas.

As many others have said, outstanding work, you have dramatically captured the raw beauty of Northern Vietnam, I have never been but it's been on a wishlist for a few years that will need realising whilst I can still see and walk haha. Thank you for the breathtaking views and heart-stopping moments that this vlog has delivered. Truly beautiful and captivating, your mood is noticeably better too, I can't think why. Happy and safe travels Paddy
Mr Paddy Doyle. We have been following you for months now and simply love your videos. Your presentation, sprinkled with laughs and giggles make me laugh out loud. You did and incredible job of your Thailand videos (we haven't seen them all yet) but Vietnam are really "Next Level". You talk about wanting to bring us along, as a passenger so to speak, on your trips and you have succeeded masterfully in doing that!!! My heart rate went up on this video as you drove Dreamy 2 along what most people would consider to be walking paths, 1000s of feet up, with no guard rails. I drive a Honda Gold Wing and what you are doing on Dreamy 2 is amazing. Of course you have 1000s of kilometers/miles of experience but still, I neatly shat my pants a few times. Keep it up. Awesome job and stay safe!!!

How fn EPIC is this shiz gonna get? I think I happy peed a little bit… I just love how everything about this channel takes one step up every vid. The narration, the edit, the location, titles, everything. Keep pushing that envelope, Paddy. How many people wish they were seeing the world like you are? EVERYONE.
My son and I are in north Vietnam ATM (also on bikes), I can only echo how breath taking the country is but the people are the most friendly I've ever come across,was even invited to a wedding in a small Tay village just outside ha giang
Mate, just watching this vlog now and I must say, as impressive as your Thailand tour was, the production quality on this tour has also gone up a level. This is as good as some programmes made by some of the bigger production companies like you’d see on the BBC or Channel 4 or something. Really really top notch. Keep up the good work!!
Wow! That looks epic. We have done the Hia Van Pass before but cant wait to get back to Vietnam to do the Ha Giang Loop! Excited to see more videos from your Vietnam trip :)

My Lord Paddy those “roads” at the end, I was watching this at dinner and literally stopped eating as my heart was racing with yours! Such an incredible scenery and tense moments in the stunt driving parts…UA-cam will never forget this one!
Bro, your driving combined with the stunning scenary...it took my breath away and my heart skipped a few beats. Seriously man, one of the most inspring and beautiful vids I have ever seen. Thank you.
Hands down - absolutely the BEST episode ever!! Paddy in his element ❤❤❤There are no words to describe the scenery. Simply stunning!! My stomach was doing flips on those little paths lol, please be careful Paddy but incredible job!!

The pass with the dozen or so switchbacks (9:00min mark) is the Khu Coc Cha Mountain Pass for anyone looking on Google Maps. Also the viewpoint at the end is Vach Da Than on there. Loving the series Paddy. 25mins is a real treat also :)
I'm a tour guide in Ha Giang and I'm also from Ha Giang (Ha Giang Loop). I would like to thank all the tourists who have visited my beautiful homeland ❤❤❤

I m a big biker from Malaysia regularly ride into Thailand. But after watching n following yr UA-cam, I m inspired to sell my KTM 1050 n get a Honda cub n explore more indepth like u n just take my own sweet time....thank you for the inspiration.. Good luck n safe ride...
Hello Paddy what can one say absolutely spectacular views. The journey up those roads had me sitting terrified you will be ok lol. Amazing video Paddy thank you Take Care 🍺
Unbelievable: beyond belief, inconceivable, unthinkable, astonishing, stunning, spectacular, phenomenal, magnificent, hard to believe, flabbergasted by this video!
By far you are the best UA-camr describe how beautiful the Ha Giang Loop is, everything was so STUNNING and EPIC. Thank you so much from Vietnam with love

Excellent video man. Just be careful with overtaking like you did at 18:30, very dangerous, you can’t tell if there vehicle coming. Have a good trip through Vietnam.
Hey Paddy, just wanted to say this was an awesome video and is a return to the types of videos that you so best. Great to see you out on your bike, exploring new things with a big smile on your face. Welcome back!
Brings back ace memories of the Ma Pi Leng Pass and also the 15 turn pass, which i used to ride up every day as i know the owner of the coffee shop at the top as he owns a homestay in Bao Lac. This section of the Ha Giang Loop is the best bit. Dong Van to Meo Vac truly is spectacular on a grand scale and there's some even more epic twisty windy tracks that go right down to the river. It looks like spaghetti on the map. And once again, i've never seen drone footage of this region. I'm glad i discovered your channel. I've lived in Vietnam for 4 years and ridden my bike for months at a time round the north, on my own and on a show string budget (some hostels for $1 a night!) with nothing more than a phone and a sense of adventure.
just back from a 3 day loop in a minibus with 15 vietnamese middle ages high school friends.. (including the bus driver).. it is all you showed and more... just amazing.. just pickyour weather carefully.. this was still mid winter... lots of rain and fog... stunningly atmospheric and beautiful and ohh my those roads at night with 50m fog visibility.. freakiest ride of life... keep in mind the loop is huge... from Hanoi and back it is 600km.. and windy.. real windy.. 11 hours from the border back to hanoi and must have been 10000 bends
Hanging on by my fingernails! You must have hired a stunt double:) Absolutely incredibly insanely beautiful! Thank you for taking us on this wicked ride!
Hiya Paddy, I love the perks of being a member. Great sponsor. Definitely, why rush when you have those views. Wow. The road. Such a great way to build it, so it does not cut into too much of the beauty surrounding it. That butterfly wanted to land on you. Great driving advice. Your videos just get better and better. The heights made my legs go funny. But Wow. Epic views. Gorgeous. That ledge. Paddy, you are brave. I would be driving so slow. It would have taken me an age to get anywhere. Epic drone footage. Epic views. Amazing. Love your banter. That bloke, sitting on that rock. No way. It looked cracked. You did well to sit where you were. No way for me. Lol. A well-deserved beer. You are a legend, Paddy. Love watching your adventures. Epic video. I can not wait to share this. Have a Wonderful Friday and Weekend.
Damn Paddy she's got it for you in a big way. Admittedly I am also loving the vids ; ) just the vids mind. Random request to please do a cheeky little Vietnamese beer comparison review type thing.
Man, this is breathtaking, so beautiful, you got there at the cliff at the right time with nice weather and sunshine, the view is just beyond the words 💯
Immense sense of gratitude! Well said my friend. I'm literally crying wishing i was there again with you enjoying the wonderfullness. You are a legend! Amazing episode. Throttle on!
There's not enough likes im the world to put me on that ledge 😒. The cinematography just amazing. The beauty of the country and nature is on full display.
Unbelievable! Paddy this is the most insane motorbike ride I have ever seen you take. Those cliffs! Blind turns! One slip and you're a goner! But wow so beautiful! 😵😵

Don't worry. I'm watching it on a 100 inch projector screen. You're life size right now. Great video's by the way. Booked my ticket for next year march. Gonna play out the North of Vietnam. Gonna start in Da Nang and go up Vietnam for a month. Did Thailand, Songkran and the Mae Song Loop 3 years ago. Koh Tao was easy my favorite place there. It was unbelievable!
Omg, I been to Vn at least 15 times in the past 10yrs but never did the loop. Heard about it and I am all pumped to do the loop in Oct22 when I travel to Vn . That was an amazing content but scary too watching you ride on the 1 meter broad roads. What a cracker of a video Paddy take care and stay safe till we meet for a beer somewhere in the great outdoors hope soon.
I ordered a DJI mini 3 today, and I'm glad I did. Your drone footage, especially the 'follow me' on the bike is outstanding. Looking forward to trying this out on my honeymoon in Thailand in September.
Can’t wait until the installment.
But Patty I am kicked back in my recliner watching on Samsung 65” 4K TV which by the way are selling for $527.99 at Sam’s Club.
I watched your video on Koh Samui . We have been there before and out to Mango Bay . You have given me more insight about the island.
Don't get me wrong. Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand are beautiful, but Vietnam is the next level. Vietnam's spectacular scenery is just unparalleled.
I've been always saying that Vietnam is the most beautiful country when you looking for distance views, when you Ha Giang loop or the last part of road (Saigon-Dalat) but from the close distance it's completely dirty and all the magic disappears. Any national park in Poland of example will beat close distance nature in Vietnam. Long distance views in Vietnam = nr. 1. Short distance views in Vietnam = not even close to nice
@@babajaga8180 They are gradually cleaning up everything. Ha Long Bay is one of the examples. Few years ago, the touristy Ha Long Bay was full of plastic bottles and cups, but it has been cleaned up. I just came back to visit it last month. It's absolutely wonderful.
@@babajaga8180 Comparing the natural scenery of Poland to that of Vietnam is nonsensical. How can you compare the scenery of a temperate country with that of a tropical country? How? Mikei's comment makes sense comparing the sceneries of the tropical countries.
@@hoppyhope6445 I have to agree with you. Making comparisons like this don't make much sense
As long as Vietnam is still ruled by the oppressive and exploitive Communist regime, her potential remains greatly diminished. For any 1% that wants to stay, 99% of the population wants to get out, and many have risked their lives doing just that (for example, 39 doomed lives found in UK container truck recently on the news, and that's only what's been reported), unfortunately. Yet another shocking and also recent example is that during the Covid pandemic when almost all countries assisted their citizens with financial aids in one form or another, the corrupt and murderous Vietnamese Commie regime saw it just another opportunity not to help but to exploit its ruled citizens even more, essentially making money over the corpses of its citizens by presumably killing at least 30K of them, due to misdiagnosis and being and cramped into barbwired unhygenic living quarters for isolations, so that they had to sleep on the concrete floors, with inadequate food, water, or medicine, like animals, with the fake nostril Covid test kits, mislabeled as approved by World Health Organization (WHO) in Việt Á scandal, colluded by at least 4 different government agencies (Y Tế , Khoa Học, Công Nghệ, Quân y) and the top Politburo members, including Nguyễn Phú Trọng, Phạm Minh Chính, Nguyễn Xuân Phúc. Murderous Vietnamese Commie regime even had a thug murdered Christian pastor Giuse Trần Ngọc Thanh, like it has done with many other pastors across the nation. There is a reason why the current Commie Vietnam ranks at the bottom of the world in freedom of speech and freedom of the press, barely above Commie China and Commie North Korea. Similarly, its passport ranks at the bottom, 89th out of 111 countries for a reason, barely above North Koea 104th rank. even below many African nations. For comparison, South Korea 2nd rank. That's what Republic of South Vietnam would have likely been ranked among at least the top 10 had it not been invaded and occupied by the North Vietnamese Commie terrorists, aided by Commie Soviet and Commie China.
Travelers to Vietnam in her current form (not at all like this before the Communists took over) should keep this in mind. Behind the beauty of the land and smiling faces at popular tourist destinations, there are a lot of darkness and sorrow, horror, and sufferings all over the country.
Although I watch (almost) all your videos, I never comment, because I don't want to bother you. You have lots of work already and not need to read my comments. But today I just have to write. You are really the "master" of vlogging. I love this video, and you really gave me the feeling of riding along. You are right, compared to Thailand (and I just visited Phu Chi Fa because of you) this is really next level. I watch many content creators and think: How come they have so many subscribers? If someone deserves to have lots of subscribers and to be watched, it is you! I hope your channel gets much, much bigger, and I hope you stay grounded! Your authenticity is what I love! Keep up the good work and know that I will be quietly enjoying and appreciating your work! 💗🙏
This is why Ha Giang Loop is famous worldwide for its endless scenic beauty. Vietnam is like a faraway land that is exotic and beautiful.
Ha Giang Loop, Ninh Binh, and Hai Van Pass are next, but don't forget Son Doong Cave - Vietnam's largest cave on the planet earth. It's large enough to house an entire New York City block, complete with 40 story skyscrapers. It's said, less people have seen the inside of Son Doong Cave in Vietnam than have stood on the summit of Mount Everest.
Amazing!! do you have any agencies to recommend? I don't think anyone is allowed to go alone right?
@@lishr4536 you can go if you are reasonably fit and are happy with camping in a cave for a week, but the waiting list is two years i think
I just watched this on my phone but I will rewatch it in 4k on my 75 inch tv tomorrow. We feel like we are actually on your bike with you watching it on the big screen. Your 4k is another level on anything we have seen on You Tube. My wife and I are absolutely loving your videos in Vietnam. I am booked for a tour of the Ha Giang Loop for late August 2022.
Well around the 19 minute mark my palms were getting sweaty and my heart was thumping. Thank you for taking us along for the ride, because I do not think I would ever be brave enough to drive along those cliffs!
The lads sitting and standing on the mountain rock are just surreal. Geographically, Vietnam's breathtaking scenery is unique and without equal.
I did the loop three years ago and I haven't seen anyone do it justice yet, untill now.
What an incredible shots Paddy! Thanks for letting me relive this wonderful experience & enjoying yours at the same time!
Had the good fortune to travel through northern Vietnam back in 2018 and i have to attest to many of your observations and comments Paddy. As great as Ha Giang Loop is, there are even grander and better scenes to behold by deviating from it. We did a lot of them and found ourselves confronted with stunningly epic and spectacular sceneries and locations that back then, and quite probably even today, very few tourists had traversed. The one thing that struck me, no matter how out of the way we were located, we never lost mobile phone coverage...never! With the terrain and topography that is northern Vietnam, that was just unbelievable in itself (not that we wanted the coverage but it did give us comms if we ever found ourselves needing some back up...which we didn't because the locals were always wanting to engage with smiles and friendliness). You are re-igniting fond memories Paddy.
That's because one of our main telecom service providers originates from Military, so they're everywhere :))
Thanks love my country
I saw him drinking beer at the end of the video, which is illegal. If he is inspected, he will have to pay a fairly high fine, about 6,000,000 VND, equivalent to 270 USD. And moreover, bring back cans because there is no one in that area to collect trash
I have never seen a more attractive bike ride. What amazing scenary. Loving Vietnam
Hi Paddy. I have a problem now old son. I've had to add this loop to my bucket list! I laughed. I cried. I sat in my living room in western New South Wales, Australia with my mouth hanging open while I watched your epic journey. 10/10 Paddy. You have developed your craft as a top-class vlogger to "the next level". The drone imagery was stunning. Your dialogue was perfect for the occasion. 60 shades of green covered the countryside as you captured the essence of the journey. The sunset moment was perfect, and all the better for being an honest "find" in northern Vietnam. Keep up the good work - UA-cam: You need to pay this guy more money. Move over Mark Weins .............😄
🤣👍🤣
Mountain road view of northern Vietnam is really amazingly beautiful. I'm living in the northern Thailand with beautiful mountain view but the view in this video is literally another level.
This awesome breathtaking imagine be there in person
Wow Paddy. I've been following you from the beginning and have watched your videos on my phone a lot. But now, I have to watch your videos from Vietnam on my big TV. You are truly in one of the most beautiful areas on earth. Great camera work too. Fantastic. Really NEXT LEVEL 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Paddy! This is Hands Down the most breathtakingly beautiful scenery you have ever shown us. You are one of the richest men in world 💙. Also, please don’t kill yourself! The last bit of your drive about gave me a heart attack! 🤪
Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god! What a crazy and breathtaking drive! It made me shiver. But your trip was so beautiful, maybe the best video I've ever seen on UA-cam. What a beautiful country Vietnam is. I had no idea before. Thanks a lot Paddy for this great video. Have a good time and take care.

Thanks Paddy. That was just ..... WOW. For some odd reason I had quite low expectations of your Vietnam tour in terms of scenery (after lovely Thailand), but Holy Moly what a place it is so far. Breathtaking beyond words. Safe to say it's easily blown my expectations out of the water in epic fashion. As for some of your choices of paths to take, there's a very thin line between bravado/adventure and stupidity/accidents, and I think you cruised along that line a little to closely there ! Ha ha. Please stay safe mate and thanks for all you do. Vietnam is absolutely jaw dropping and incredible.
I'm so happy that you decided to do the Ha Giang loop! I dit it a few years ago when I was 19 years old and it was the best experience of my vietnam trip!! The footage is amazing! Im so glad to be able to experience this again thru your videos. Have a great trip! I'm looking forward to your next video!
The breathtaking scenery seemed to be endless. Watching the drone flying pass the man standing on the edge of the mountain cliff rock, is truly an incredible treat. AMAZING!
I just came across your channel randomly and I absolutely love it, I travelled in Vietnam by motorbike 10 years ago, watching your videos brings back soo many amazing memories, you’re capturing it all sooo well. You’re making me want to do it again!!!! Keep up the great videos and enjoy every minute 😃
Me and a mate did the loop in March 2020 just before everything went sideways. Best biking experience of my life. Make sure you do the Ma Pi Leng pass, absolutely breathtaking scenery. Keep up the good work Paddy, your videos are amazing and just make me want to go back even more. Thank you 👏👏😁😁👍
Absolutely incredible photography! I've been catching up on all your Thailand videos (which are great) while watching your Vietnam series. Not that your Thailand footage wasn't excellent, but I'm watching in 4K on a 65" screen and there is a noticeable difference in the crispness and color of the Vietnam footage. Your stuff is just getting progressively better and better! I've never left a comment before, but felt this one deserved it. One of your best!
Arguably your best video yet Paddy! Simply jaw-droppingly beautiful, and the scenery's not too bad either!
The production value is second to none and your narration and easy-going chat really make us feel like we're there with you. So much so that I was even a little scared for my own safety on that little pathway until I remembered I wasn't actually there! Maybe one day?! More of the same please, but do be careful!

There is a reason why Commie Vietnam is ranked near the bottom in freedom of speech and freedom of the press index, along with fellow Commie China and North Korea. The terrorism comes from the regime itself which routinely kills dissidents at police stations and in jails mostly without even using guns. Travelers to Vietnam in her current form (not at all like this before the Communists took over) should keep this in mind. Behind the beauty of the land and smiling faces at popular tourist destinations, there are a lot of darkness and sorrow, horror, and sufferings all over the country.

Absolutely speechless, there are no words to describe how beautiful the scenery is in this video...thoroughly enjoyed taking that trip with you and experiencing the 'wow' moments and the occasional 'oh sh**, that's scary' parts. Enthralling 👍😬😱
Haha thanks mate ☺️
Just found your channel, have travelled across vietnam afew times now and your videos really reminds me of how beautiful vietnam is.
Really an underrated country for travelling.

This is really truly a WOW! Vietnam's scenic beauty is indeed incomparable. It looked incredibly gorgeous in the video. Imagine being there in person!
Paddy, im so impressed of you videos. Just jaw dropping. Love your channel. Vietnam impress me, and after you go ther the channel realy is next level. Continue this fantastic work Paddy, love it. Good luck.
OMG!!! I realised halfway through your traverse on those narrow tracks that I was holding my breath.....That was absolutely terrifying as felt I was on Super Dreamy too! The footage is amazing.
That guy can have that ledge all too himself as far as I'm concerned Such a captivating video. Thanks Paddy❣
Thanks Connie 💘
@@PaddyDoyle.What time of year was this?
Thank you for capturing the wonderful scenery of Ha Giang and northern Vietnam, Vietnam is a Peace-loving Country but our forefathers sacrificed a lot to protect every hill from the Chinese invaders. country in the period 1979-1989.
Absolutely enjoyed your adventure. All beautiful sceneries in north Vietnam are just so magnificent . Thank you.
Glad you like them!
Just epic views! Ha Giang Loop is just amazing. Next level for sure Paddy. Love the narrative you add here and there. Some of those Roads looking a bit scary. Think I will continue to live vicariously through you mate. The members zoom meetup was great. Love chatting with ya personally mate and playing trivia! You earned that beer for sure!
Thanks mate 😊
Awesomely beautiful country. I hate to even think this but I am feeling that this is much more beautiful than Thailand.
Comparing travelling destinations we can boil down to 2 main aspect: the core value - the scene, the place itself and the conditions in between
- in Vietnam it's 10 in core value & 5 in conditions. I mean you get those magnificent landscape but you'll have to deal with harsh conditions, resulting in a tiring yet joyful moments
- in Thailand it's 8 in core value & 8 in conditions, things are not as grand but the total conditions are way more better, resulting in an overall satisfied moments
for me even more beautiful than swiss alps because greenery and subtroical vegetation everywhere
I agree with you, Vietnam has the advantage of a long terrain, with distinct summers and winters, even snow. Vietnam has many different cultures. Thailand has been at peace for 500 years, but Vietnam has gone through many wars and embargoes in the past 140 years, especially the very harsh rule of France, which has severely damaged the culture of this country. I agree with your assessment, but with a little correction. Vietnam value 9.5, service 6.5 and Thai value 8, service 9
Ha Giang Loop, a real paradise on earth has been found! Sitting on the edge of the mountain rock at the end of the video is absolutely insane. For your safety, always remember to slow down your car or motorbike when making any sharp turns.
This Vietnam series can't be beat! This is just incredible. You weren't kidding when you said you wanted it to be like we're right there with you. Those first person shots of you zipping around the Insanely high twists & turns had me gripping on to my chair for dear life. I could only imagine how you felt in real time. 😅
Thank you, Paddy for this amazing journey in Vietnam. It's simply beautiful. Please be safe, and enjoy it to the fullest!
I'm not sure if there are UA-cam awards a la the Oscars but if so this video should be a nominee. Probably the most gorgeous and amazing UA-cam video I have seen so far. Wow, just wow.
I was heading into a year of back to back operations at the end of March 2023. Prior to Covid I spent so much time in Vietnam and fell so in love with the people the culture and the way of life.
One of my bucket list items was to ride the Ha Giang Loop, and not knowing if I’d ever be able to ride in Vietnam again. So 1st March we flew off to our first destination in Vietnam and I got to complete the loop along with visiting many other locations. It’s great to watch you ride along the loop. It was the most stunning ride.
Love your content and new energy. Vietnam is definitely getting on the list as a must visit place. Absolutely stunning

O my goodness Paddy! Thank you so much for bringing these amazing places to us.
I think that is the most stunning scenery I have ever seen 💯
Just laying in bed watching on big screen 4K. Holy crap. Incredible.
I thought thailand was beautiful, but the countryside is just wow.
I got to tell you you must be crazy driving that bike on the edge of the cliffs. Crazy bugger 👍
A big thank you for this. I will watch more than once for sure.
Best wishes,
Rob , Toronto 🇨🇦
It is amazing!! It look like you are traveling from mountains to mountains in the clouds somewhere in heaven!!
It looks so beautiful and peaceful. Just healing to the soul how being alive is. Stay safe, Paddy, some close call there.
Vietnam could double the volume of visitors, if not quadruple, if the Vietnamese could stop littering indiscriminately, practice food safety and sanitation. And, the government needs to crackdown those who cheat and scam the tourists. Now, that will surely increase the number of tourists.
@@nocancelcultureaccepted9316 I suggest they implement a tourist tax and use that to clean up the litter as that's the most offensive thing to me in a country that beautiful. Food safety, well, you can always pay more at the ones that cater to Westerners, but don't expect that for $1 meals....cannot have it both ways, either cheap and good, but could possibly get food poisoning or more expensive...you choose.
@@nocancelcultureaccepted9316 what’s your intentions? I’ve seen you post the same ignorant comment about Vietnam all over the channel. You’ve encountered some experiences and now you draw a negative generalized conclusion about my country and people? I don’t deny there are lots of flaws in Vietnam but please enlighten me a perfect place for visitors? Stop being childish!

I forgot to mention lies, cheats, scams, stealings, and deceits are the typical characters of the Vi et. Not just the Vi et in Vietnam but also the Vi et overseas.

As many others have said, outstanding work, you have dramatically captured the raw beauty of Northern Vietnam, I have never been but it's been on a wishlist for a few years that will need realising whilst I can still see and walk haha. Thank you for the breathtaking views and heart-stopping moments that this vlog has delivered. Truly beautiful and captivating, your mood is noticeably better too, I can't think why. Happy and safe travels Paddy
Wow wow wow wow Paddy!!! So beautiful! What a blessing. Thank you for taking us along for the ride!
Mr Paddy Doyle. We have been following you for months now and simply love your videos. Your presentation, sprinkled with laughs and giggles make me laugh out loud. You did and incredible job of your Thailand videos (we haven't seen them all yet) but Vietnam are really "Next Level". You talk about wanting to bring us along, as a passenger so to speak, on your trips and you have succeeded masterfully in doing that!!! My heart rate went up on this video as you drove Dreamy 2 along what most people would consider to be walking paths, 1000s of feet up, with no guard rails. I drive a Honda Gold Wing and what you are doing on Dreamy 2 is amazing. Of course you have 1000s of kilometers/miles of experience but still, I neatly shat my pants a few times. Keep it up. Awesome job and stay safe!!!
THANK YOU MIKEY
Cheers Paddy. Me and my wife last visited Vietnam in 2009. Your videos are making us want to go back. Keep exploring 👍

Amazing video Paddy, one of your best!! Had been thinking of doing this route. After watching your video no more thinking! I will do this trip!!
How fn EPIC is this shiz gonna get? I think I happy peed a little bit… I just love how everything about this channel takes one step up every vid. The narration, the edit, the location, titles, everything. Keep pushing that envelope, Paddy. How many people wish they were seeing the world like you are? EVERYONE.
My son and I are in north Vietnam ATM (also on bikes), I can only echo how breath taking the country is but the people are the most friendly I've ever come across,was even invited to a wedding in a small Tay village just outside ha giang
Wow. I'm in Northern Thailand now and thought the roads were epic here, and I've done the Hai Van but that is several other levels 😳🙀
Mate, just watching this vlog now and I must say, as impressive as your Thailand tour was, the production quality on this tour has also gone up a level.
This is as good as some programmes made by some of the bigger production companies like you’d see on the BBC or Channel 4 or something.
Really really top notch. Keep up the good work!!
Wow! That looks epic. We have done the Hia Van Pass before but cant wait to get back to Vietnam to do the Ha Giang Loop! Excited to see more videos from your Vietnam trip :)
Wow!!! Loved this video and your commentary. So Beautiful and adventurous. I think this just might be the next adventure I put on my bucket list!
Glad you enjoyed it!

OMG Paddy!!! My heart was in my mouth. Watched this three times now and I'm screaming out... "Slow down Paddy". Absolutely awesome scenery.
WOW! WOW! WOW! That might be some of the most spectacular scenery I've ever seen on UA-cam. MIND BENDING STUFF!!!! Thanks heaps for sharing that with us. Looking forward to each and every episode. All the best to you from San Diego, California.
My Lord Paddy those “roads” at the end, I was watching this at dinner and literally stopped eating as my heart was racing with yours! Such an incredible scenery and tense moments in the stunt driving parts…UA-cam will never forget this one!
Bro, your driving combined with the stunning scenary...it took my breath away and my heart skipped a few beats. Seriously man, one of the most inspring and beautiful vids I have ever seen. Thank you.
What an epic legend ride , absolutely untoppable .I got goosebumps from watching. 👏👏👏💪🇨🇭
Wow, no words 😮😮😮 what incredible beauty 😍 the English language can not express the scenery in your video.
You are sooo brave!! Or crazy 😜
Hi Paddy, you've got the best footage of Ha Giang loop. I've watched many videos before and you're in a few who do it justice!
Hands down - absolutely the BEST episode ever!! Paddy in his element ❤❤❤There are no words to describe the scenery. Simply stunning!! My stomach was doing flips on those little paths lol, please be careful Paddy but incredible job!!

The pass with the dozen or so switchbacks (9:00min mark) is the Khu Coc Cha Mountain Pass for anyone looking on Google Maps. Also the viewpoint at the end is Vach Da Than on there. Loving the series Paddy. 25mins is a real treat also :)

Hello Paddy what can one say absolutely spectacular views. The journey up those roads had me sitting terrified you will be ok lol. Amazing video Paddy thank you Take Care 🍺
Thanks Sue and yeah it was pretty scary not gonna lie
Unbelievable: beyond belief, inconceivable, unthinkable, astonishing, stunning, spectacular, phenomenal, magnificent, hard to believe, flabbergasted by this video!
I wish I could give this video more than 1 Thumbs up!!! Amazingly beautiful. Awesome Work Paddy
Wow, incredible scenery beautifully captured. How is central and south Vietnam gonna keep up with this?
By far you are the best UA-camr describe how beautiful the Ha Giang Loop is, everything was so STUNNING and EPIC. Thank you so much from Vietnam with love
Vietnam could double the volume of visitors, if not quadruple, if the Vietnamese could stop littering indiscriminately, practice food safety and sanitation. And, the government needs to crackdown those who cheat and scam the tourists. Now, that will surely increase the number of tourists.
Paddy, I’m sorry to say but that house at 16:30 is a stopping place. That is Ma Pi Leng pass and you missed a beautiful view point :(
Excellent video man. Just be careful with overtaking like you did at 18:30, very dangerous, you can’t tell if there vehicle coming. Have a good trip through Vietnam.
Paddy I’m Loving your Vietnam adventure. When you passed that truck I actually screamed out loud. Thanks for the excitement and exhilarating rush.
Hey Paddy, just wanted to say this was an awesome video and is a return to the types of videos that you so best. Great to see you out on your bike, exploring new things with a big smile on your face. Welcome back!
the Ha Giang loop looks so awesome, would love to try it one day
Brings back ace memories of the Ma Pi Leng Pass and also the 15 turn pass, which i used to ride up every day as i know the owner of the coffee shop at the top as he owns a homestay in Bao Lac. This section of the Ha Giang Loop is the best bit. Dong Van to Meo Vac truly is spectacular on a grand scale and there's some even more epic twisty windy tracks that go right down to the river. It looks like spaghetti on the map. And once again, i've never seen drone footage of this region. I'm glad i discovered your channel. I've lived in Vietnam for 4 years and ridden my bike for months at a time round the north, on my own and on a show string budget (some hostels for $1 a night!) with nothing more than a phone and a sense of adventure.
I did it alone 3 years ago
I think we are going to hear a lot of "wows" on this trip. 🤣😁 Definitely some unbelievable views!!! Wow! 😊
I think so too ♥️
8:57-9:50 is my fave part. My parents are a Vietnamese and I am in Canada. You have seen more of Vietnam than I have
Crazy! That narrow trail and some of the drone footage! Wow! I am not afraid of heights but some of that had me holding my breath!
The fact I was watching the video I knew you were not dead. But my God Paddy Doyle you were scaring the crap out of me.. Im like "SLOW DOWN PADDY"
just back from a 3 day loop in a minibus with 15 vietnamese middle ages high school friends.. (including the bus driver).. it is all you showed and more... just amazing.. just pickyour weather carefully.. this was still mid winter... lots of rain and fog... stunningly atmospheric and beautiful and ohh my those roads at night with 50m fog visibility.. freakiest ride of life... keep in mind the loop is huge... from Hanoi and back it is 600km.. and windy.. real windy.. 11 hours from the border back to hanoi and must have been 10000 bends
Absolutely stunning, no more to be said.
Hanging on by my fingernails! You must have hired a stunt double:) Absolutely incredibly insanely beautiful! Thank you for taking us on this wicked ride!
Hiya Paddy, I love the perks of being a member. Great sponsor. Definitely, why rush when you have those views. Wow. The road. Such a great way to build it, so it does not cut into too much of the beauty surrounding it. That butterfly wanted to land on you. Great driving advice. Your videos just get better and better. The heights made my legs go funny. But Wow. Epic views. Gorgeous. That ledge. Paddy, you are brave. I would be driving so slow. It would have taken me an age to get anywhere. Epic drone footage. Epic views. Amazing. Love your banter. That bloke, sitting on that rock. No way. It looked cracked. You did well to sit where you were. No way for me. Lol. A well-deserved beer.

Absolutely epic Paddy. Nevr knew the north of Vietnam is that beautiful....on our bucketlist for sure.
thanks!
