    1:48 I don’t know why but the open sea in the rain makes me so nostalgic and emotionally yearning.

    From an ex seaman, look at the line of the sky, with the ocean, this will settle your ‘head’ balance, and should stop sickness. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

  • @ThomasD7244
    @ThomasD7244 2 роки тому +5

    Old sailors trick..chew on some root ginger an hour before boarding and it eases the stomach and helps to stop you being sea sick. I know it works because even after a very rough night crossing I was still able to face breakfast.

  • @hardcorediving821
    @hardcorediving821 2 роки тому +2

    I’m Thais and I’m Freediver and Scuba diver.
    From your VDO i think it’s not bad weather and low current on your journey. I’d like to share you and someone who want to dive at ko tao.
    1. Lompraya speed boat from Chumporn to Ko tao is the biggest problem for you from sea sickness. First time I went to Ko tao wave was 2-3 meters. I thought may be die is better. Do not careless about this, please take pill after you sit on the chair on the boat and let’s sleep challenge.
    2. Ko tao have a lot of diving trip and school for scuba dive or freediving, even you never reserve it before you can find your trip by walk to many shop for reservation.
    3. If you can’t swim and want to learn any diving please ask for pool learn before. Because I saw a lot of newbie panic people in their first time in sea.
    4. There are many convenient store name “7-eleven” for fair price and you can small exchange THB by buy a small thing.
    5. Bike for rent, it born for you. Even you can’t use google map but Ko tao is a small island. You can go around.

    Oh my god, in October I was on the ferry from Phuket to Phi Phi to Krabi and EVERYBODY was getting sick and losing their minds. The people that got it the worst were sitting in the rear lower deck by the propellers and the swells, sitting looking out the sides. 🤢
    My tip for anyone looking to avoid sea sickness is to be on the upper deck in the front of the boat. Looking head on in the direction the boat is headed (especially focusing on your destination, if visible) is more natural and relaxing, and the wind (and rain) in your face helps to assuage nausea.
    Thank you Paddy for all you do, we love you! ❤

I understand we may be getting to chat with you again soon...I look forward to hearing all about your Many Adventures and Learning how you have morphed through this whole Incredible Beautiful Journey that you shared with all of us. It's been over a year and you have been going non-stop. The First time we talked you had just gone through a Train Ride not to be forgotten...and now this Crazy Aquatic Adventure. You always seem to handle Adversity like a Champ. Wishing a Speedy Recovery for Everyone.

    Really great vlog Paddy. I have been on Koh Tao for two weeks ( sorry we missed you), it's a fantastic place as you know, and despite the challenges you represented this really well. Hope you come back again soon , to me it's the most beautiful Island that deserves some great exposure, thanks Paddy!

    Wow, ferry ride from hell! Micheal is a funny guy, he makes a good sidekick. Diving looked like it was so much fun, to bad it did not work out for miss p. I have not dived in years. Another beautiful sunset in paradise. Another great video Paddy! Surprise waiting for you in Phuket!!!

    I almost went down with that ferry.
    After our trip from Samui, it went to dry dock in chumpon, it was literally breaking into two pieces.

    Hiya Paddy, gosh, that was a choppy ride. People being sick would definitely make me gag. And probably puke. Bless your heart. Being unwell. Bless Micheal for booking such lovely accommodation. Love the old pic. Nice deal. I haven't scuba-dived for years. Love the wiggle. Bless Miss P. That boat was rocking. Curled up. Aww, big hugs. And Micheal too. Nice, you got a good experience on the 2nd dive. Beautiful sunset. Good vibes. Cool tunes. Great video. I hope things get easier. Thank you for sharing. Have a great week.

    You should have gone snorkeling with Miss P on one of the many lovely beaches of Koh Tao instead of scuba diving from a boat when you knew she would get seasick. Hin Wong bay on the north eastern side of the island as well as Freedom beach on the southern part are some of my favorites. I always go one week to Koh Tao at the end of my Thailand travel every time i go to Thailand. 5 times this far. Greetings to all of you from Norway.

    Michael looks like a funny guy. To miss P, sea sick is horrible. I learned that eating some salt helps. Salami, potato chips and so on. I used it working on a trawler and it helped me.

  • @joefrei8632
    @joefrei8632 2 роки тому +4

    It is a pity that your little group had such a bad start into your Kho Tao trip. And that Miss P will always keep bad memories with her first scuba diving experience. Never made it to Kho Tao myself, yet. But it seems worthwhile, even without diving. Maybe one day in the future - but definitely have to assure that there is no storm around… Keep on rolling, Paddy!

  • @connielinz879

    My heart goes out to Miss P. being so sick 😞You had the right idea Paddy, being outside in the fresh air, maybe that would have been a better option for Miss P. too. Koh Tao looks beautiful though. The accommodation that Micheal booked looks spectacular. Looking forward to the next video! 🤗

    @noreenneu837 2 роки тому +3

    Hey Patty too bad about the seas! I had a trip like that going to Koh Samui once. There was no option to go outside and the waves were taller than the ship. I did not get sick however. The trick apparently is to keep your eyes on the horizon. So sit by a window. The staff on the boat announced this over the PA in English but most of the passengers were French and German and the Thai English was hard to understand. Many many got sick. Don’t want to do that again!

  • @Nuttnaree1985

    You were lucky enough that they used the catamaran boat to Koh Tao. Last December I went, they used the ferry boat (like 30 seat), and the weather was terrible. Roof was leak, big waves, everyone had a seasick. The worst nightmare ever!

    A well weathered and toughened road-warrior, you are. Payback for your hitting the gym floor-running, back in BKK is evident. Could there be a Paddy Doyle Boot Camp on the horizon? I've travelled afar, through the wildest of hurdles, so I've been mentally toughened, but I'd need a Boot Camp to keep apace with you. The spirit says "Rock On!". I'm so proud of Miss P and Michael -- A+ for bravery and spiritual fortitude. And all the stronger for the effort. Kudos to all of you!!! A fine episode, indeed. dcb

    If you visit these islands off season like this fellow seems to have done you might run into story conditions, Try the winter season for smooth seas and usually blue sky's. It's a great island for scuba dive instruction, hiking as well as beach and pool activities. These days there are also private pool bungalows overlooking the water for a real luxury getaway experience.

    @deanpapadopoulos3314 2 роки тому

    Thank you, Paddy. Teachers tend to be caretakers and this is cool, and it’s hard not to think of the people around you and how they’re doing. I never fully have learned to be totally me around other people when I travel because I’m always wondering if they’re okay. I’m the end, I’ve learned that everyone has their own itinerary and dream…and no matter how kind our traveling friends may be, their dreams might not be our dreams. In the end, my dreams are more important to me than anything and anyone (being honest here), so I deal with the trade-offs (sometimes very difficult trade-offs) of solo-traveling. It’s more about each person’s temperament than anything one can will themselves to being. You look good and you look happy. It’s nice for us to see you around people you care about (although it’s none of our business)…but, it feels right to see you demonstrate the empathy and concern for others. I think we want to know this about a person (I’ve just discovered). Flow…don’t push it (in traveling 😊) as rushing can ruin anything.

    Great video though and glad you had a fab dive .. our son took ill when they all went diving and he came out in a rash all over his body and we thought they boat would have to return to shore and take him to hospital. luckily we had antihistamine to hand and it turned out he was allergic to the stuff they washed the wetsuits in 🙈
    Hope you all enjoy the next part of your trip !

    What's the water temp there? I'm used to 9°>18°C down at the very bottom of 🇦🇺. I dived the Coral Sea and only wore a full stinger nylon suit, I felt no need for any wetsuit

    Hi man, greets from holland 🌷 For sure you gonna love Kau sok, for me it was the best experience ever!
    I am fond of bamboo,so I took the cheapest vloting 'cabins'. Didn't went with the cave 'walk' ,but instead took a canoe and rod and went on my own, enjoying the jungle from the water ,super clear water! Didn't catch anything,but had a super experience! The more expensive places ,the people are not so nice. But have a great time 👍🏻✌🏻✊🏻

    So sorry you guys had to deal with sea sickness! I loved the footage of the dives though. Koh Tao is high on my list of places to visit in Thailand for the amazing dive opportunities. I've only dove from Krabi and spots west of Krabi in the Andaman Sea. I need to get some dives in the Gulf of Thailand. Thanks for another great video, and hope everyone is feeling better soon!

      Eddie, having been to both Andaman, Samui, Koh Tao, I strongly suggest you find a way to Sail Rock (between Samui and Koh Phangan). Its is a huge underwater pinnacle with only the tip sticking out of the water. With currents swirling around the rock that drops down to 40 meters, it at the top of my Thai dive spots for many reasons. Koh Tao diving is not so great, just inexpensive, good vibe. The islands off Bali belong high on your list, Lembogan, Gili T, South Lombok. Dives are well ahead of Thailand.

It ain't always paradise in thailand!

    Truly fantastic sunset at the end. Yeah, you had the right idea to go outside into the fresh air on the ferry ride to Koh Tao. I often wonder why people don't observe basic advice to avoid sea sickness. Staying inside with your head down, or burying your head in a blanket is almost guaranteeing that you're going to get sick. Yet people continue to do exactly that. "Keep your eyes on the horizon" is what I was always told.

    Hi, catamaran ferry from Chumpon to Koh Tao was an absolute nightmare for me every time. I prefer to take the slow night ferry to Koh Phangan and then take the slow boat to Koh Tao. But of course - the journey takes a long time and is not an option for people with little time.

    Regarding that thumbnail, it's always the instructor going in first so if an aggressive shark is there initially that's likely who's in trouble I had an instructor tell me that once when he went in there was this cobia swimming straight at him, it sort of has the silouette of a shark at first glance so that was an 'oh shit!' moment.
