Q&A: What’s REALLY Happening With Me Right Now…
Okay, it’s the end of September. We’re 9 months
into the year already. And I think it’s time we had a catch up. And the best way to do this is
with a traditional Paddy Doyle Q&A. Thanks to all the questions that you sent through via Patreon
and Instagram. So, let’s get into it. John Ford says, “Can you share any more information about
this book deal?” Yes, I can, John. So, the reason I couldn’t mention it before was because it hadn’t
been signed, but now the contract’s done. I’ve even been given my advance, which is amazing.
I am writing a travel book, a travel guide to Hence why that trip to Europe was my final big
international trip of the year, and probably for the next 9 months at least, because I’ve got
to get on my bike and go research for this book. And I thought the best way to do it is to turn
it into road trip after road trip series. So, I’m going to head up to Isan, then I’m going to
head down south. And not only does this mean that the channel will be going back to its roots for
the next 9 to 12 months, but in the background, whilst I’m making those videos, I’m also saving
things, writing things for the book, which will be coming out in just over a year. Fingers crossed
I can get it all done whilst making these videos. And so, yeah, just stay tuned for more updates
on my book with the Moon Travel coming up coming out later next year hopefully. Patricia asks
me, “Patty, what’s the deal about your channel name? I saw on Patreon you were thinking about
changing it.” So, yeah, when I was in Vietnam, I had a bit of a crisis. I wanted to have a
fresh start with the channel, and I thought about changing the channel name, but when I posted about
this on Patreon, which is completely free to join, by the way. You can get all your videos early
and join the community there. We’re nearly at 500 members. So, basically, I just said, “Hey
guys, I’m thinking about changing the channel name. what do you think of these options? And the
feedback was really useful because it it basically told me that my idea of changing the name only
slightly was it wasn’t really a good idea. People were confused by it. And the last thing you
want to do on YouTube is confuse your audience, especially your core audience. And I just thought
with a slight name change, I could communicate this better. But in the end, Patty Doyle is just
fine. And uh if you look at my channel artwork now, it’s been changed to communicate the three
core values of the channel going forward. Cap lazada cap. Okay. Carbon mac tower hot cap. Carbon
cap. That’s my new SD drive coming in because this one is full. Paul T asks me, is there anything
you’re working on in the background that nobody knows about? Well, actually, yes, there is. Again,
I can’t go into too much detail because it hasn’t even been built yet, but I am in the process of
building an app. And it came out of something that I said on a previous live stream live stream live
stream. Basically, I said, wouldn’t it be great if you could reach out to other content creators and
ask them questions? But the problem with that is, you know, content creators or experts in their
field, doesn’t have to be a YouTuber, it can be, you know, just someone who’s really good at
something that are on social media. It chances are if they’re really successful and they’re really
good at something, they’ll have a huge following. And so trying to reach someone is really hard.
Emails get lost or deleted and DMs just get lost in the labyrinth of, you know, social media. In
fact, most big content creators don’t even share their email or allow DMs because it just it’s
just too much. But if there was a place that you could just say, “Hey, Patty,” and you ask me
the question and I’m the content creator on the other side of this app and I say, “Oh, Julia from
Manchester has got this really nice question. Um, and it’s a voice note.” And I can listen to it. I
don’t have to join a silly Zoom call or anything. I can just listen to her voice messages, maybe
see some pictures, see her itinerary like a DM, right? And then I can respond with video or voice
message and just instantly help them whilst I’m, you know, not having to sit down and be on a
meeting. And I think it will free up people’s time and it will be able to connect people. And so
this app was born out of that idea that I want to reach out to other people. Some people would like
to reach out to me. So yeah, basically that’s the idea in a nutshell and we’re developing it and
um as soon as I have an app ready for you guys to download and to test out in beta um I’ll let you
know. Beverly on Patreon asks a lot of questions, but my favorite one is what are you most grateful
for right now? And I think it is the ability to slow down and make more conscious strategic
decisions. And that comes from 3 4 years full-time headless chicken just going crazy creating
content, traveling the world mindset. And now um we’re coming up to the end of year four of the
channel and of the business. I’m able to slow down a little bit and concentrate on things. And I
just read a quote today that I follow someone who’s a football player and he posted something
like remember your everyday life is someone else’s dream. So be thankful for what you have. And so
that really resonated with me because, you know, when I was doing the TMBB and I was hiking from
hut to hut, there were people there who, you know, they’ve been saving up for it and it was a big
thing and it was like a huge milestone in their life and if for me it was just a Tuesday. I was
out there filming a series that would come out and, you know, it would go on the channel and then
it would be onto the next one. And so sometimes I need to stop myself, especially in these beautiful
situations, whether I’m on Zelda in the provinces of Thailand or whether I’m hiking in the somewhere
beautiful in the world. Sometimes I just need to remember that this is an incredible, you
know, situation to be able to travel and share my adventures and post them onto YouTube
cuz I’ll know I’ll look back on this part of my life in the future. I was like, “Do you remember
when I was this like travel YouTuber guy and had 300,000 subscribers and everyone was watching on a
Saturday and me hiking in the mountains or driving on my motorbike around Thailand?” Like, I don’t
think it will last forever. But at the minute, you know, I’m just very thankful for that. So,
thank you for the questions. Beverly Adrian on Patreon says, “Do you ever miss teaching?” Yes and
no. I miss the classroom. I miss the structure. I miss the uh schedule in terms of like, you
know, I know where I’m going to be every day, but at the same time, you know, I wouldn’t trade
what I have now to go back and to have a boss again, have ahead of year, and have parents and
stressful things to worry about. I don’t know if I could could I even be a member of staff again.
I think I would be terrible. Camila says, “When’s the wedding? We’re getting married on March 7th,
so it’s coming around quite soon.” Howard Wittman says, “What type of honeymoon are you looking at
with Miss P? We are thinking about Kosmet because we’re getting married in Bangkok and we just think
it would be great to then go straight to Kosmet. Actually, we’re planning to go with a few friends
and family as well.” And the idea is that we’ll just invite people who are coming to the wedding
and say, “If you’re interested, we’re going to go to Kosmet. We can all jump in a minivan and
go down there and within 2 hours we’re going to be on the ferry going over to the island.” And so
our honeymoon can turn into an afterparty. It can turn into a friends and family reunion because
if people are flying all the way to Thailand, we don’t just want them to come to a wedding and
then say hello and say goodbye. It would be nice to carry that on for three more days in paradise
in Kosame is just like the perfect location. Kayan Mart said, “Can we hire you for a private tour
of Thailand?” Uh, no. Sorry. I’m too busy. I would love to be a tour guide and show you around
like I did with my family in Phuket and in the south because obviously I know my way around here,
but I’m just too busy with writing this book and making a video every week. It’s a full-time gig
and uh I’m sorry. I just don’t have the time. I’d love to help you out though, but uh if you could
figure out a way to clone me and then just I could send a hundred of me out there as tour guides,
that would be great, but uh that’s never going to happen, unfortunately. Atlas antics. They asked
me a few questions. Let’s go through some of them. How long does it take to edit a YouTube video?
Well, it depends. Sometimes it takes three hours, sometimes it takes 3 days. It just depends on
how much footage I had and what sort of level of energy I need to put into this edit. Is it a big
documentary that has a lot of nuances and lots of voiceovers and connecting the dots and do I have
to be really careful about, you know, how does the story come together, etc., etc.? That will be a
multiple day edit. And if it’s a video of me just, you know, going to the other side of Bangkok to
hang out with Gary to eat some street food, I can edit that in a couple of hours. They also asked
me, “What’s the best small village in Thailand?” I like this question because that opens up the whole
country, right? And I think a few pop to mind. I really like some up north. I really like Mihong
Song. Um, Banra Thai up there. There’s a few really nice villages. And I like northern Chiang
Rai as well. There’s some really nice villages up in the mountains near the caves and near the
border of Lao. I also really liked Beeth. It’s a small town really right on the border of Malaysia.
I’m going to go back there soon hopefully. That was a real cool place. And I really like Lampun
and Lampang in northern Thailand. I think most of the scenic villages in Naan, Chiang Rai, Mihong,
Chiang Mai, the northern provinces, they’re the places where you get the most scenic, the most
atmospheric, cultural uh little villages in Thailand for sure. Mickey P says, “What are three
apps you can’t live without on the road?” Well, the first one would be Google Maps because without
it, I wouldn’t be able to find my way around. Also, I use it to actually navigate and look
for inspiration of where to go. So, for example, I literally just got the brand new DJI drone.
It’s actually on the table over there. It looks beautiful. And so, on my way north, um I’m leaving
next week to go on a big trip. On my way up, I was thinking, well, I want to make a video about
my new drone, testing it, showing people what it’s like because, you know, it’s a beautiful piece of
equipment and not a lot of people can kind of get information about it cuz all of the videos you
see are sponsored. And I think it would be quite good to give my opinion on the drone. And so I was
like, where could I fly it? So Google Google Maps, I just started looking like, okay, I’m going in
this general direction and I started looking for on terrain mode where looks interesting visually.
And so I’m going to be stopping in um what’s it called? Lop B L B on the way up north. I’m going
to pull over there, have a night or two, and I’ve seen some amazing locations to fly the drone,
and that was all because of Google Maps. So, not only does it help me get around Thailand and
the world, but it also enables me to go, “Wow, that looks interesting geographically.” Then you
zoom in a bit more and you start finding places to stay. You start finding lookouts, trekking,
hiking, national parks, anything visual on the map. You zoom in and you can start to find
interesting places. In fact, that’s where I find almost all of the places that I go. The other one
is Google Translate, especially in Thailand. And there’s a few questions here like, “How’s your
tie?” My tie is still very basic. I’m learning, you know, a few words and phrases a week, but
it’s still, you know, it’s not fluent. So, Google Translate helps me in a pinch. And so, Google
Maps, Google Translate, and um obviously NordVPN, I use that app religiously when I’m on the road.
As you can imagine, you know, with censorship and, you know, trying to stay safe using public Wi-Fi,
NordVPN is a huge one. In fact, they are one of my sponsors and they’ve got a great deal for you.
If you click the link below, nordvpn/patty Doyle, any purchase of a 2-year plan, you’ll actually
get four bonus months on top. That’s NordVPN/patty Doyle. This is a YouTube exclusive deal, by the
way. So, if you click the link in the description, um yeah, you’ll be able to unlock this fantastic
option. And NordVPN for me is like the best app to have on your phone because yeah, with
everything that’s going on with censorship and not being able to access certain websites on
the news channels and you know, entertainment and there’s no like buffering and it’s not like
a stressful thing to worry about like, oh, is this going to slow down my connection? It’s
seamless. It’s been optimized now for a long time. NordVPN is a fantastic app when you travel.
It doesn’t matter if I’m in a cafe, in my hotel, or at the airport. NordVPN keeps me safe by
encrypting my internet traffic and hiding my IP address. Obviously, NordVPN are sponsoring
this section of the video, but with Google Maps and Google Translate, NordVPN is also the other
travel app that I really use a lot. And yeah, I hope that answers your question. Go check out
the link below and get that exclusive deal right now. No fixed abode says, “We have watched all of
your videos and we can’t wait to make the big move to Bangkok. Where would you recommend us living?”
you know, me and Miss P, we’re looking to actually move and we’re looking to buy somewhere as well.
And two of the places that we looked at are Pong, which is actually where I live already. It’s a
fantastic, clean, safe neighborhood with lots of shopping, gyms, parks, food, restaurants. It’s
got everything. But it is a bit expensive. Um, so if you wanted to go somewhere a bit cheaper,
but also quite nice, check out Echimai. Check out Tonglaw. Um, obviously the dream would be
Lang Suan in Chitlom, which is like the Mayfair, the park lane of Bangkok. The houses there are
just beautiful. The neighborhood’s incredible, but it’s, you know, it’s very rich. If you’re
a millionaire and you’ve got money to spend, check out Lang Suan. Um, but if you’re just an
ordinary human being, then uh, Pom Pong and, uh, Echami look really nice. And if you’re looking for
a budget place to live that’s still really, really nice, head out towards Onut. head out towards the
other side of Bangkok away from Sukenvit, maybe on the tombie side of the city if you want something
a bit more rustic and a bit more authentic to the local Thai side of Bangkok. Ask Kin says, “What’s
the good and bad side of solo travel?” Well, it’s pretty simple really. The good is being
able to get up and go wherever you want, but it also comes with loneliness. So loneliness for me
normally tends to lead to drinking beers because if it’s 4:00, 5:00 and I finished filming all day
and I’ve felt like I’ve explored, I felt like I’ve had an adventure and I climbed a mountain and
then I get a bit bored and I end up drinking a few beers. So I’m looking to hopefully cut that
part of my life out. Just had 6 weeks no drinking, 6 weeks at the gym here in Bangkok and obviously
I did the TMB. So, I think I’ve kind of shaken that habit. So, hopefully when I get back on Zelda
next week and I started this big long road trip, I will enjoy a beer from time to time. Like,
don’t get me wrong, if I’m sit at the M Kong and I’m watching the sunset on my own and I’m
feeling a bit lonely, I’m not going to just order a soda water. I’m going to fully immerse
myself in that moment, a sunset on the Mir Kong after a big day. Let’s have a cold beer. My issue
is every night without fail, two big bottles of Leo from 7-Eleven, a packet of crisps, a Snickers
bar and a movie watching on Netflix or something, right? And that’s where I just stuff my face
with junk and and beer and shite. And that’s where it all kind of goes wrong. And that comes
from loneliness. So definitely loneliness is the hardest thing about traveling solo. Sean Collins
says, “I’m going to Hoyan next week. Where do I find Madame Can’s Banme?” Well, just Google
map it. I’ll link it in the description for you because yeah and also I’ll link another ban me
that not a lot of people know about in Hoyan which is better than madame me uh ban melop says what’s
the one thing that you would change about living in Bangkok other than the traffic the noise so
obviously I think they come hand in hand but when those noisy motorbikes underneath the BTS it’s so
loud and it’s so annoying SG travel said, “Where did you book your TMBB hike?” I booked it with
Adventure Base, and they really liked my video, and so they’ve actually decided to work with me
and give anyone who books with the link um in my videos. I’ll link it in the description below, but
you’ll also unlock a few extra discounts because they just thought, you know, the video came
out great and they were happy with it. I mean, it wasn’t a sponsored thing. They didn’t
pay me. They didn’t um give me the hype for free. I was a paying customer, but when
they saw the videos, they were like, “Well, let’s give Patty something for his audience.” So,
if you click the link in any of the videos, again, I’ll put it in the description, you’ll actually
get um a few discounts and a few promotions and like little extras for clicking through my
link. Um, and I can’t recommend Adventure Base enough. I love your hiking videos. Do you have any
plans to hike Thailand’s third highest mountain, aka Shang Dao, my favorite? Yes. But there is a
very short space of time during the year where you can book to hike Shang Dao and it’s uh it’s in a
couple of weeks. It’s the end of October and there is a link I’ll put it in the description of this
video. You have to kind of be there and get ready and it’s all in Thai it’s quite complicated but
um in about 2 or 3 weeks there will be 3 or 4 days where you can book to get on to a hike and it’s
very limited. It’s very protected this mountain. Max Furman says, “Any Southeast Asian countries
you feel you haven’t quite explored enough and plan to visit again soon?” I would say Myanmar.
I went there like six or seven years ago and had a fantastic time. the best people, the best
food, some of the best landscapes. But obviously with what happened and what’s continuing to happen
politically, and there’s a lot of unrest, and it’s all very unknown, and you know, if I was a real
adventurous soul, I would go over there regardless and just film. But I don’t also want to go over
there making videos like, you know, foreigner, in dangerous, wartorrn, you know, I don’t want to
go down that route. I think that’s distasteful. Myanmar and the Burmese people are it’s a
beautiful country. They are beautiful people and I had such a great time there. But I just have to
wait until it’s politically more stable and safe. And when that happens, I’ll go back over there. Or
Malaysia as well. You know, I haven’t even done a Malaysian series other than Borneo Kota Kinabalu.
Maybe later this year or probably late next year because I’m busy writing this book and traveling
Thailand and obviously Meanar has such a special place in my heart. I’ll link my video that I
made on the budgeteers about my trip to Mimar in the description so you can go see for yourself
how beautiful it was. Mick Green says, “How did you manage nine nights on the Mount Blancc hike
with just a moderatelysized rock sack?” You’d be surprised, mate. I pack too much. You literally
wear the same t-shirt when you hike every day. You wear the same clothes that are clean and
dry every evening when you’re in the refugeios. All you need is one hiking outfit and one hanging
out at the refugeio outfit and that is it. Matt Limmer says, “Any chance of reuniting with all
three of the budgeters?” Um, I don’t think so. Me and Tai is we’re still mates. He’s coming
to my wedding hopefully. Fingers crossed. Um, but Lena Lena’s not responded to me for years.
I don’t know what she’s doing. Lena, if you’re watching this, I love you. Um, please respond to
me. Let me know you’re alive. That would be nice. Sydney George says, “How did you find quitting
alcohol? I think I heard you mention it.” Yeah, I’ve just quit for 6 weeks. No beers, no booze.
It was hard when I was flying business class to Europe because it was free champagne and I said
no. Um, but I don’t miss drinking beers to be honest. It’s weird. When you stop drinking it, you
realize life just is the same. Like when I go to the pub now to watch the football, I just have a
soda water or a Hineker and I still feel like I’m in the pub and I still feel like I’m having
a beer but without the alcohol hangovers and without the cravings to snack and eat shite all
night. There’s a time and a place to have a beer and to have an alcoholic beverage. The problem
is my mindset is every day is the perfect time and that’s where it all goes wrong. Alexander
the Wanderer says, “What resolution do you usually film in and what software do you use to
edit?” Technical question, but I shoot in 4K and um on my drone I shoot in 60 frames a second, so
I can slow it down if I need to, but on my Sony I shoot 24 and I shoot on um I edit on Premiere Pro.
There’s a name here I can’t pronounce, I’m sorry, but it says, “Thoughts on the DJI Mini 5 Pro
and the fact that it’s over 250 g.” basically technical question but in some countries if it’s
over 250 g you can’t fly without special licenses but here in Thailand you need these insuranceances
you need this license you need this paperwork regardless so it doesn’t matter if it’s 250 g or
260 g you still need insurance and paperwork and registration here in Thailand luckily when
I bought my new DJI 5 Mini Pro the shop DJI where I bought it did all of the paperwork for
me and if you’re worried like how do I do this, whatever. Just speak to DJR here in Thailand and
they’ll figure it out for you. Or go to Google or Chat GBT, okay? I’m not a drone expert. I just
went to the shop, got all the paperwork sorted, and it’s all with me. And if anyone ever asks me,
I’ve got it all sorted now, which is great because at first it’s a bit of a worrying issue flying
a drone in Thailand cuz they banned drones for about 3 weeks during the war. But now they’ve
lifted it. You can’t fly in certain areas, especially on the border of Cambodia. But apart
from that, it’s all pretty easy. The Walls Travel says, “What other travel content creators are you
enjoying watching right now?” I can’t remember the name of this channel. Hang on, I’ve got my uh
YouTube here. Rocky and Kimble, that’s it, right? Yeah. Rocky and Kimble, gay couple and husbands
of 27 years leaving corporate life and starting a new life in Bangkok. They’re documenting
moving to Bangkok from the UK, I think. Anyway, just it randomly popped up on my feed like a
month ago and me and Miss P watched one of their videos. I was like, “Oh, what’s this?” And we
put it on watching the telly, eating our dinner, and we were hooked. We were laughing. It was
just funny. They’ve only got 8,000 subscribers, but I think two weeks ago they had 3,000. So,
they’re obviously growing quickly and uh yeah, they’re funny. So, go check them out. Obviously,
Rocky and Kimble, if you’re watching, um if you see me in Bangkok, make sure to say hello. Um
because I would love to go for a coffee with you guys. You guys are hilarious and your videos are
brilliant and uh I’m loving watching you document your journey moving to Bangkok. It’s brilliant. N
Gallop says, “What’s one thing that you miss the most about the UK, not including your friends and
family?” I would say I miss daytime TV. you know, just hanging out at my mom’s house, watching
Tipping Point, watching um The Chase, you know, all the daytime like quiz shows. I just think
they’re brilliant. Also, being able to go to the pub at a reasonable hour to watch the football
on the telly. Like here, I have to like watch it in bed because it’s 10:00, 11:00 at night.
Whereas in the UK, it’s super Sunday, it’s 4:00, you have a few pints of Guinness with the with the
lads, and you can get home at 7:00 and still have your dinner and go to bed at a reasonable hour.
Melissa Singer says, “Other than Thailand, what’s your favorite country?” I would say probably
Italy or Vietnam or New Zealand. D. Jones says, “When are you going to have kids? You’re not
getting any younger.” One thing at a time, okay, one thing at a time. There are so many questions
here that you could literally have just asked Google and got the question uh answered for you.
So, let me just try and find one more interesting question from my followers that you guys might go,
“Oh, that’s interesting.” Wandering Fox says, “How are you holding up and what are your long-term
plans?” So, I’m feeling really good. Really good. I felt a little bit sluggish 6 weeks ago. I felt a
little bit stale after my trip to Vietnam. I kind of had a reset and I set myself a six week goal
of no drinking, going to the gym, and closing my steps and going intermittent fasting. The results
have been great. I feel stronger, fitter, leaner. I’ve lost 5 and 12 kg in body fat, which is great.
I’m toned up a little bit, and I’m just raring to get back on the bike and get into the provinces.
And my long-term goal is just to literally, guys, um just roll day by day and just continue
to focus on what I’m enjoying the most, which is making content on YouTube and sharing it
um with you guys. going to the most interesting, going to the most beautiful places possible
and also balancing that with living in Bangkok. Obviously, I would love to just be on the road
non-stop like I used to, province to province, country to country, video after video, three
times a week. That’s really good for business. Uh, that was when I was making over $10,000 a month
just in AdSense. Just in AdSense. But now that I’m a bit older and a bit more wiser, it’s better
just to work smart than work hard. And so, you know, I have a fiance, I have a wedding, I’m
getting married, we’re looking to buy a house, I’m trying to be an adult, I’m trying to mature, I’m
trying to make decisions for the long term, but at the same time, I’m Patty Doyle and I’ve got my
motorbike in the world and I want to go traveling. and I take you guys along for these adventures
to show you some of the most amazing places on the planet. So, trying to balance those two is
my one and only goal because without balance, one always falls apart. If I just concentrated too
much on my personal life, then the channel would die. If I concentrated all my energy and effort
onto my channel, my relationships would die. So just trying to juggle and learn how to juggle
is the hardest thing. And the thing that I’m learning and trying to get better at. I’ve got a
new idea about how to do that which I’m going to implement going forward. And so basically I’m just
looking to do two weeks on the bike, two weeks in the provinces and then no matter what jumping
on a quick flight back to Bangkok or jumping on the train or jumping on the bus and having a week
having a two week time at home, back in the gym, back in the diet, back on the routine, back in
like hanging out with Miss P, watching crap on the telly, doing the things we love, and then getting
back on the bike and doing the thing. I just can’t be one of those people that goes willy-nilly
full speed ahead travel around the world. Um, there are so many YouTubers out there who are
younger, more at it, more you know, they’re chasing their dreams and all this and they’re just
working their socks off creating great content all around the world. And um, you know, if I was if
I had started my YouTube channel in my early 20s, then I would be in that moment as well. But
you know, I’m nearly 40. So, all I’m trying to do is find that balance and uh I’m getting
better at it, but uh still not perfect. So, thank you again to NordVPN and you guys for
watching at home. Next time you see me, we are going to be back on the road, back on Zelda,
and we won’t stop for at least 9 months. Big time excited. Loads of adventures in Thailand coming.
Great proper next level Patty Doyle gold content coming soon. Can’t wait to share it. Can’t wait
to fly my new drone. and I’ll see you there next

Love these Q&A sessions. We get a glimpse into the real Paddy Doyle 🙂 Thanks for answering my question on the Honeymoon (Opps Revealed myself lol).
I'm so pleased you've been able to find the elusive 'Life Balance' ….its the most important goal of all & realising it is so important. Keep on keeping on and we are all excited to see the next chapter (book pun intended) of your journey and 2026 is going to be one for the books! (lol, ill quite now while in ahead hee hee). Thanks Paddy, love your work as always!
Glad to hear your Thai improving. It’s hard when your job is to teach English, to learn another language. All your solo travel around has made your communication as clear as your video decisions.
Love, love love all of your videos Paddy! Warmest regards from Perth Western Australia 🇦🇺🦘❤️
Congratulations on your upcoming book!
Koh Samet is a great idea for your honeymoon/after party. Easy to get to. Lots of small resorts. You could probably take one over. I still teach and enjoy the routine.
How do you work with the current Thailand drone laws?
You know it’s content everyone loves. Can’t wait to see trip.
Great video Paddy – I'm excited that you have a solid plan for the next year, loved the TMB series (I really like your Euro hikes or any hikes), good luck to both our teams later (more to Arsenal of course), cheers mate 👌👌👌👌
Congrats on 6 weeks no alcohol! You look great! 😊
Hiya Paddy.
Exciting times. Love and career. Smashing it.
March. Wow. So excited for you both.
Hey Paddy we love your channel. We live in Australia and travel to Thailand a fair bit. After watching your Buriram video over a year ago we are heading there late November to watch the Buriram United V Ratchaburi on the 30th of November. This will be our first football game that we've ever seen. Go Buriram.
Great Q&A ! The DJI you have is pricey. Can you recommend a more affordable DJI? Especially for a more of a beginner. And still make decent quality videos from it? Also congrats on the book. And the app. And congratulations again to you a Miss P.
Congrats for your upcoming book! And big thanks for the shout out to my friends – Rocky & Kimball!
Yes Paddy … Keep that balance and don’t burn out ! You have great adventures but I love the simple times like eating with Gary 🤗🤗
You're gorgeous, congratulations on your upcoming wedding! ❤
It sounds like you’ve got a busy year congratulations
I’m just over 2 weeks to Thailand and really enjoying it
I’m currently on Koh Chang thanks to your videos
How did you lose so much weight? Looking good tho…
Paddy, have you ever been to and done any videos on Lombok?
Congratulations on the wedding plans!! I've just booked to be in Koh Lipe 3-8th March, And I even considered Koh Samet for those dates at one point 🙈 I would have been able to see you getting married!;) . I hope you're going to YouTube it!!! And brilliant news about the book… I'll be buying that one!
I love Rocky and Kimball. They're hilarious.
I thought currently you cannot fly a Drone in most of Thailand? My Drone is registered and I've received 2 emails one totally banning using my Drone and a second one a couple of weeks back with a very limited fly zones that you have got to get permission to fly in before you can use yr drone?
Has the ban on drones been lifted? I heard it was a serious offence to fly them in light of the conflict
Paddy When will u go to Myanmar mae sot scam city to do a tour ❓
