I was at the Erawan Falls in July 2024 and they are beautiful and they really look after the grounds. We didn't arrive until later in the afternoon so we spent more time taking photos rather than swimming. That night we spent in a lovely hotel which was floating on the river but the currents were much slower so we went swimming and kayaking in the river, which was so relaxing. Followed off the afternoon with a beautiful sunset and a couple of cold beers. Fortunately I didn't forget the Singha beers 🙂
Insanely beautiful falls! And the color of that water 😍 Definitely adding this to my Thailand bucket list. I love that you didn't edit out yourself running back to the camera...so relatable! We were laughing so hard at the Thai "rafting". My husband is Thai and even he thought that was nuts haha
I was at Erawan waterfall in January and like you I loved them. I agree with everything you said about them. My girlfriend and I stayed at a hotel on the river but we didn't get to go rafting. Chose the wrong hotel I guess. But the same day we went to the falls we also went to the Pho Phat caves nearby - another long climb. But in their way better even than the falls. Bu the way I'm 70 so I endorse what you say about the climb up the falls but I have to say two such climbs on the same day were a bit knackering. Keep up the good work. I find your videos remind me of where I would rather be than back here in a cold wet windy UK. Looking forward to the next one.
I love how you show the part with going for your camera while getting up the levels 😂 I can totally relate to that when filming my runs, you do have to work twice 🤦♀️ also, pretty cheering to watch this positive 'summery' vid at 5am in 0 degrees 😳😂
OMG, what a blast that day looked like. Thanks for show me something in Thailand I have never seen before. I will be visiting that for sure and thanks for putting a smile on my face living vicariously thru you.
Paddy thank you for the wonderful video. I (Shafeen) was pretty depressed about all that’s going on in Ukraine but seeing your videos and smile uplifted my spirit and my day. Good bless 💛
Hiya Paddy, Love this. All the work that goes into filming. Good workout day. Beautiful place. Informative. Great advice. That the thing as you get older, I am the same. Always think this could hurt. Nice video. Thank you for sharing. Have a great week.
Had a similar experience in Costa Rica! Was white water rafting and we came to a calm spot in the river and the guides told everyone to jump in. Mind you, Costa Rica has crocodiles/caimans in their rivers. Super skeptical at first but wound up being one of my best memories of Costa Rica! But I totally understand why you didn't jump in lol
I've been to kanchanaburi.. waterfall, river floating house cruising along the river overnight... absolutely unforgettable memories happened there back 30years ago.
Erawan Waterfall looked absolutely stunning......Nature at it's best❣I'm with you Paddy, jumping into the river looked very dodgy, never know what's under the water😳😆
Love Erawan falls. What a great place. Great swimming spot. You are just working to hard Paddy. I jump into white water quit often with just my life jacket, lots of fun.
Absolutely beautiful 🤩 truly amazing. Thank you for sharing with us such a beautiful part of Thailand 🇹🇭. I understand about not jumping I probably wouldn’t either but I’ll definitely be visiting Love your work mate .
Thumbs up for your great work. Your vlog could directly and indirectly promote many attractions in Thailand. TAT should give you a title for Thailand's tourisim ambassador. Keep up your good work. - Your Thai FC.
You did the right thing for not jumping in. the tide is very strong And there is still an invisible vortex beneath the surface. There are always people who have accidents. But anyway, it's still beautiful and fun. Great VDO bro. 👏🏻👏🏻
Hi Paddy. Just wanted to say thanks for the recommendation about Erawan Falls. You inspired me to add it to my Thai bucket list and I recently checked it out with my family. Truly amazing. Thanks for the tip!
The waterfall swimming was so fine! I couldn’t stop laughing from your bewilderment of what was going on and then everyone jumping in that river was too much lol. You were smart to stay on that raft. No way I would have followed the crowd either!
Paddy, I kind of agree with you! I wonder about jumping into a fast moving river as well! The raft looks cool though and those waterfalls are gorgeous. Fun to watch!
Great video. You show us many things that we would never experience for ourselves. Thank you for that. Please don't feel that you need to do anything that makes you uncomfortable for the sake of a video. We love you just the way you are. 👍
This day looked like so much fun, even with the hiccup of not being able to find places. I totally get not wanting to do things like jump into the river ... I won't go sledding any more because the last time I went - almost 15 years ago - I got knocked flat on my back because someone slid into me ... So I'm not even remotely interested in winter weather activities now. 😆😁
Loved it mate, bummer you didn't get some cold ones on the thai raft, but what about the jumping in the water 😮 thai style. Anyhow, stay safe and take care and as always, C Ya in the next one, cheers 🙌🍻
Looking forward to having a swim at the falls! Looks stunning! We’ll probably follow your example and avoid jumping from the raft too. Heard the massive fish love a bit of ginger, so I’d be doomed! 🐟😳
Ive done this exact thing its great. Everybody has beers and food as local beers and alchol is super expensive being in the middle of nowhere. But that current really does push you down stream, you look so confused about it all.
Great Video, The Water Falls will be on my list, to do. The rafting , we will see, but how did the people who jumped in get back on the raft? or did they just float down the river? Looking forward to the next one......
Hi Paddy great vlog mate, the family and I went on a road trip and we went to Erawan falls, absolutely beautiful, we went to level 7 then went swimming afterwards, I’ve got it in my playlist and can’t wait to go back 👌🏼
Just that waterfall would make it worth the trip! Stunningly beautiful! I'm with you, I'm not jumping off a perfectly fine 'raft'! I'm curious, though, about where they ended up? Back on the raft? Or did they just float back to where they started?🤷🏻♀️ I'm glad to see you back on the road again! Another awesome 😎👍 video! Stay safe!
A couple times I used this kind of raft service . It's fun , safe and popular . Apparently the raft comes back to pick them up but some love floating back to the resort .
I have been busy recently (Moved to Japan from the US) and havn't been able to watch for a while. I wanted to say 1: Great video! 2: You're looking great. Looks like you have lost several kilos. Keeps up the good work!
Falls-GORGEOUS 🌟🌟🌟 but MY glaring question jumping into river was-ARE THEY FLOATING ALL THE WAY BACK😳😳🤭😂 I mean, if I could SEE through it to bottom-ok, but umm NO! Me neither! Personally, I also don’t rush-hate it with a passion! If not prepared mentally, not happening! Also, as we ‘slow down’ we discover more around us, and choose our ‘excursions’ carefully lol. As always thoroughly enjoy your views! Safe travels🙏🏻❤️
If you go to Pilok Village Should go up to Doi Chang Suek between 17:00 and 18:00, there will be a sound of prayers sounded throughout the village. I saw the border line and the sea of clouds. and the inner sea on the Burmese side if the weather is good On the way down there is a cave where he dug a tin mine. Somsak Mine is cold and crystal clear like a koi fish mirror. and aquatic plantsAnd the walking grassy grass feels like a carpet and the small waterfall of this mine during the rainy season. Apart from Jog Kadin Waterfall If you're lucky, you might come across foxes, cherry blossoms and Australian Aunt Glenn who have lived here forty years now. The average temperature throughout the year is about 20-25 degrees and should go up to the hill of the flagpole. Thailand-Myanmar border and below there is a Burmese village has his own way of life and 3-4 delicious restaurants with a weekend market Because I've been going there since I don't have any acquaintances, almost 10 times now, to go to a friend's house.
Nice one brother 👍 the only problem now is that my daughter is watching your channel and she keeps bugging me to see all of these beautiful places. As my base is samui you can do the maths bro....🤣 my father will visit me soon and he always wants to go and honour the fallen dutch soldiers at River kwai so I'll be in the neighbourhood soon and I will check it out. As always stay safe and healthy my UA-cam friend ❣️ 🙏🍻
One of your best videos! Love the falls. I would have jumped in. One of the best things to do in Texas is tube the river in New Braunfels. You should look that up on UA-cam... Ha ha You tube! Get it?
You missed it as every body float to the stater point in front of the hotel to get up . It fun as me n my kids and friend used to do it . It s fun and staff will help you to get up to the bank if you cannot . 555
Did the raft-dog jump into the river? It looks like a Labrador Retriever -- a very good swimmer with webbed toes. Anyway, lots of fun in paradise -- I enjoyed the music as always. Heading back to Canada this evening. It has been a real treat following your videos during our past 72 days here in Thailand. I will be tuning into your adventures from cold snowy Toronto soon -- a 12 hour time difference. Rock on, Mr Doyle!! dcb
Erawan falls are stunning! Do you have any tips for solo travellers about leaving your bag/non waterproof cameras etc when you go for a swim? Did you just leave your stuff in your sightline on the bank or are there lockers or something in the area where you get your life jackets?

Erowan is epic. Was there in 2005. Love all of Kanchanaburi province . One of the best
Those waterfalls look phenomenal 😍 I'm excited to see what we are going to see during the next couple of months. Glad the show is back on the road💪🏼
Hi Paddy, you should also visit the Huay Mae Khamin Falls appr. 40 km further on. Beautiful twisty road and the falls are even nicer than the Erawan!
on my list, apparently much quieter due to the remoteness, plus there is the nearby ferry to cross the reservoir
Up++
Agreed and you can drive right up to near the falls, less crowded and no fannying around with lifejackets.
@@keyoouen1027i can swim normally or i have to ware stupid jacket?

Which hotel you stay there? I’ll go to KanchanBuri in Oct. travel agent recommend River Kwai Paradise hotel for me. But I see the room look not good

Paddy is finding his feet in moving foward after 77 provinces. Its a challenge to be sure to be sure .
Paddy, good to meet you at Level 3 and Level 7 of Erawan Falls. Safe and exciting travels on the rest of your journey.
You too mate 🙂
Where? What minute? 😍
Hello!
Lovely video with amazing scenery. And LOL at 6.59 into the video, it really looks like that man is taking a piss...😃🤣😂.

Paddy, I kind of agree with you! I wonder about jumping into a fast moving river as well!
The raft looks cool though and those waterfalls are gorgeous. Fun to watch!
Thanks Bev!
Loved your rafting escapade - lightened my day up!
Epic 👌 - I think that even though you got on the big raft unprepared etc. it made the video more wow - the falls was special - 😎👌🙏👍👊🍻
Great video. You show us many things that we would never experience for ourselves. Thank you for that. Please don't feel that you need to do anything that makes you uncomfortable for the sake of a video. We love you just the way you are. 👍
Very nice video. You also have good professional production with cutting, sound
ฉันทำมาแล้วมันสนุกมาก😁😁
Your blurry and clueless moment on the rafting is so enjoyable to watch 😂 subscribed!
Very beautiful both the emerald waterfall and big running river!
That black doggie is a satisfied customer of rafting but he doesn’t like you. 🤣🤣🤣
Great waterfalls! and also great workout picking up that camera over and over again 😉
Wow! Loving the music at level 3 and it's so good to see you on the road again. Love it!
Cool video and thanks for sharing the adventure!! :) and no temple! lol awesome day!
😂😂😂 you took one for the team there , thanks Paddy love your videos !!!

Hysterical, Paddy on the River Cry. I ain't jumping in no river.
On my first trip in 2002 I went on a similar Raft but mine had a bar! And we went under a waterfall 😁
Loved it mate, bummer you didn't get some cold ones on the thai raft, but what about the jumping in the water 😮 thai style. Anyhow, stay safe and take care and as always, C Ya in the next one, cheers 🙌🍻
You are really honest by not jumping into the water, everything has to consider !! SAFETY first

THANKS "PADDY" Another Beautiful (Level VID.) So Warming as (TX).is a COLD=25* degrees.
Thanks for this share ! I go to the floating house river this week. 555

Lol that walk back to your camera 😂 love it
Watching you makes me feel happy wen i feel sad paddy
Hi Paddy great vlog mate, the family and I went on a road trip and we went to Erawan falls, absolutely beautiful, we went to level 7 then went swimming afterwards, I’ve got it in my playlist and can’t wait to go back 👌🏼
Ohhh boy :D you enjoyed the deadly Laos Rafting :D hahahaha 🤣
It’s on my list of must sees now, just stunning 🤩
That was hilarious!!😂🤣 sitting there, not knowing what is going on and then everyone jumps in....😂🤣
Petchabun and kachanburi my favorite province of. Thailand!
Nice video! I’ve been to the falls. It’s beautiful
Erawan waterfall looks stunning and I have seen this same hotel on Lucas's channel when he went on motorbike loop trip with his pattaya buddies.
I'm glad they won't let you swim without the life-jacket. Here in the Caribbean lots of tourists drown in our rivers!
I remember in 2019 i was also to Erawan Waterfall, so beautiful.
Been there a few weeks ago. Awesome 🤗🤗
What a beautiful location. A must visit. Thanks for sharing 👍
I can’t belief Mr Adventure did not jump!
lol
I always enjoy watching your video. Great work.
Great vlog paddy, nice area and beautiful water falls and rock pools well done

@@robertnarong3857 Thank you for answering my question! That would be fun with a group of friends!
👍😎 Traveling solo, not sure I'd have jumped in...
You should arrange a group of youtubers like you did on the boat tour in The Chao Phraya river in Bangkok to go for this rafting must be fun.
beautiful. looks so relaxing
I LOVED this video!!!! 🏆🏆🏆🏆
the rafting was an emotional roller coaster 😹

What a gorgeous waterfall!
It really is!
Need to go there for sure! But the “must wear a life vest” was a bit of a bummer! 😩 Should be a “pay to rent, pay more not to” option 🤣
Good video, thank you very much. Sorry to see you not have drinks
This one had me laughing out loud Paddy. Great adventure!
Before, the River Kwai was quite strong and deep, but now it has a dam, so the current is weaker and shallower.
Watch out for naegleria fowleri (brain eating amoeba) in thailand.
yes, and watch out for coconuts falling from trees. 555

Where is the the clip of Khao Yai national park adventure ?
Such a hilarious video! Out of curiosity, how much time do you typically spend filming B-roll at any one location?
Looks excellent, should've jumped in!
this is a fun episode ! love it !

Yes I jumped in sober which was lots of fun.
Those falls are great 💜
