Meeting those kids on the river reminds me of one of my fav memories in Thailand, where I was waiting for a boat transfer on Phi Phi Island and I was just standing in a lagoon about ankle deep and I felt something grab my leg and I looked down and it was a smiling toddler, and I remembered feeling worried what people would think seeing some bearded adult dude with a young child and then I looked up and saw his mother smiling and just wave to me and my fears subsided and I just played with the kid in the water for a little while and it was wonderful, kids really have a way of brightening your day.

Paddy I had respect for you already and loved your videos but having just started my first road trip my respect for you has gone up 1000%. I am sure most subscribers do not realise the effort in riding long distances but today I rode from Phuket to Hua Hin on my scooter taking just over 10 hours and I discovered the heat in protective gear is unexplainable, your back gets destroyed, your bum feels like you sat on a firework and Thais have extraordinary road rules. On top of that you stop and film stuff as well so the amount of work you put into each KZfaq video is amazing. I am going Krabi in few days then an island then back to Phuket (yes poor route planning as I am like a yo-yo going back and forth) and will only suffer a tiny amount of fatigue and soreness to the amount you must have suffered to do all your videos RESPECT

Hi Paddy, I've just been introduced to your channel a few days ago as ve been watching vlogs about Vietnam and considering visiting. I watched a vlog where you were riding the cable car up to Sapa Mount and you mentioned that it was scary because of the heights. How would you compare your paragliding over the Loas town to the Cable Car ride in Sapa? Just because I'm a bit chicken too for major heights. Cheers Paddy

I'm not sure how I ended up here, but thanks for the memories of Vang Vieng! I actually went tubing there in 2004 so now feel very old! Back then there was nothing along the river, no bars or rope swings, just an occasional guy with a crate of beer Lao to sell you. Very tranquil. I returned in 2007 and it had already changed a lot. Still a wonderful place though, so beautiful!
