    hi paddy, am someone who just loves watching travel vlogs. With the pandemic around and not being able to travel, videos like these are a great escape to enjoy things virtually. and i must say out of all the vloggers i religiously follow, i find your vlogs very well detailed and well presented. (you know how some vlogs are 80% occupied by the vlogeers face & blabbering!! lol ), It feels very balanced! wish to see more & more from you. Keep up the good work! :)

    Paddy, loving the whole Thailand series and your sense of humour.
    The last time I was in Haad Rin was 1995, I don't recognize anything, they didn't have paved roads, a night was beanbags on the beach with candles on a table and stumbling drunk back to your bungalow with a flashlight. Good memories.
    Enjoy yourself.

    Another great video. I've been to Koh Phangan once. I don't remember anything about it though so I assume I had a great time.
    My daughter has been up north in the Seattle area visiting her mom for the past week and a half, so I've been cracking open multiple cans of beer each evening watching multiple episodes of your Thailand videos (starting from the very first one) trying to chase you down to your present productions*. I'm about one year behind you at this point. Thanks for all of these - they have provided many an enjoyable evening.
    *I do watch each new Vietnam episode when it comes out though.

    • @chapterlast
      @chapterlast Před rokem

      Seriously, I haven't binge-watched this many travel videos since Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations. You should be proud of the quality work you're putting together.

  • @BACKPACKTOPIA
    @BACKPACKTOPIA Před 3 lety +3

    The full moon party has rightfully been called one of the worst examples of “everything that is wrong with backpacking tourism”. Most businesses in the area are not solely living off of the monthly full moon party. The few businesses that will fold if the full moon party doesn’t come back will move on to the next thing of the same kind and will recover faster financially than it will take the flora and the fauna of the island to recover from the negative environmental effects.

    • @ellefsensbarmyarmy8491
      @ellefsensbarmyarmy8491 Před 3 lety +2

      I’ve spent more than a yr in koh phangan, over a period of 3 yrs, and since I’m not a party guy I didn’t like the full moon. I’ ve been to around 10 I guess, but stayed at home for the most part.
      I think you are wrong though. The vast majority of the economy on the island is built around the full moon. Most places in Had Rin was only full 3-4 days every month. The hotels, restaurants, street vendors of all kinds and basically every other business on the island get their income from to the party. Had rin without the full moon would just be a small beach town, and a lot of the tourist that actually stay a white and explore other part of the island would never have come in the first place without the full moon.
      And I’m not even counting in the illegal economy with drugs etc that plays a big part on the island.
      Hopefully covid kills it, but I think it will be up and running again.

    Awesome video Paddy, The full moon moment was deep! It may not recover there, but in the future, there will be growth and a new scene. Memories will live on in those of us who experienced it, and there really will 'never be anything like it' but there will be new experiences for the new generation. You inspired me to start my Travel Hawai'i series! I hope one day we can meet up and experience some of the new adventures the world will give us post-covid.

    Thank you, Paddy, for the great insight on the Full Moon Party. I did that back in 2003 and was one of the wildest nights of my life. Went to mushroom mountain too. Always my first thought when I think of Koh Phangan. I was wondering if you were going to vlog being there and now I know why you are not. The scene now is shocking to me.

    Hi Paddy, regarding full moon parties, I may just be plain wrong but your mindset is too youthful to fit a “nostalgic” mood I sort of hear … Coming forward are the most awesome experiences and in due course pass out booze parties will look pretty tasteless .. do believe me. I’m not patronising , not a bit. I just felt I could play kill joy and in doing so cheering you up a bit.

    Come back again now, you'll see how the island has changed! Also, you need to check out more places so people get a real feel for what it's like here. I've lived here 2.5 years and absolutely love it here, especially in the North of the island and the West Coast 😊
