Which city was your favorite, Sir? I couldn’t understand your answer during the interview. Thank you.

After several Vietnam trips, I have to agree that Phong-Nha national park is my favorite place in Vietnam. The scenery is incredible, it's the ideal place to scooter around, I even drove straight to the border of Laos. Also the Dark Cave is a really nice experience, where you zipline into a cave. I also did a 2 day trek to sleep inside the 2nd largest cave in the world (Hang En cave). Phong-Nha will forever be in my heart. Definitely check out Oxalis Adventure or Jungle Boss tours if you wanna do a trekking there. If I may add another last tip: definitely spend more time in northern Vietnam than in southern. I started in south Vietnam and went up to Hanoi and it all felt underwhelming until I hit central Vietnam and close to north. When I finally arrived in Hanoi I extended my visa for 2 months because there was still so many places in the north I wanted to explore.

in Vietnam they generally used to wear face mask more than in Thailand, (or any other country in SEA) so if now 10-15%, means that they are back in normal :) that's good!

Nothing wrong with making comparisons with Thailand. It's interesting to note and hear the differences especially since I live in Thailand and would like to visit Vietnam.

That's not the original place you had egg coffee and on weekends the street around hoan kiem lake is closed to traffic and the people take over the street from Fri evening to Sunday night. The original egg coffee shop address is : Cafe Giang- 39 Nguyen Huu Huan, Hoan Kiểm . Mr Nguyen was the creator of this egg offer. Suggestion before you plan to visit a place in Vietnam let your followers know a few days before so they can give you their input of things there etc and you can decide things to get on your vlog. Cheers happy travelling days in vn. Msg me in private and I can guide you and share my knowledge of vn

We really enjoyed this episode and super excited for your Vietnam series! 😆 Let’s get hungover together next time 🍻

Really excited for this series, Hanoi was my favorite place in Vietnam!

I am really liking Vietnam. I really like your unique spin on things Paddy. That egg coffee totally spun my head. Great video, looking forward to more. You tequila beast!

Haha 😂 thanks mate

Egg Coffee is not for you although it is very popular in fancy coffee shops in Europe. In that case, I suggest you to try Vietnamese Coconut Coffee or Vietnamese Traditional Hot/Iced Coffee with Condense milk.

Really enjoying the series so far. Makes me homesick for Hanoi, my favourite city in the world. But fyi there are lots of modern shopping malls in Vietnam but they're not in the Old Quarter which takes up just a fraction of Hanoi. And Vietnam has Circle K as a kind of 7 Eleven. Good luck with the trip.

@Windtalkerzz

There’re many 7-eleven convenient stores in Ho Chi Minh city but not anything in Hanoi. Circle-K chain is found easily throughout many parts of Vietnam.

Paddy - if you like iced coffee, you MUST try the Vietnamese iced coffee. Don't worry, it won't have that egg nog stuff in it. If they do it right, it has sweet condensed milk, with Vietnamese ground coffee, with blended fresh coconut. It is SO yummy that I had one every day when I was in Vietnam. Enjoy!!

Cà phê đua, is indeed delicious. The normal iced coffee is also great. I love the Vietnamese robusta coffee though it’s not to everyone’s taste. Just find the usual arabica stuff really anaemic now

Loved Hanoi! Did you go the the French Quarter? A super city to just wonder around in. Never been to a more friendly city.

I'm flying to Hanoi in 2 weeks before heading to Sapa and then the central regions so loving these videos. Am regretting the prior decision to only go as far south as Hoi An though after the comments about Dalat.

After HCMC you should consider travelling down through the Mekong Delta to Rach Gia and then along to Hat tien and crossing the border there into Cambodia and through Kep to Delightful Kampot. (You can cross the border with your bike). After that drive up to Phnom Penh and you can then finish your trip in Siem Riep and sell your bike before getting the bus back into Thailand.

So nice to see the One Pack Wanderers in the video! Safe trip, looking forward to watching this road trip in Vietnam!

Great video Paddy! Love your honesty about the egg coffee….perhaps it’s not for everyone but at least you tried it! Bon voyage on your adventure in Vietnam and thanks for sharing this vlog! Cannot wait to watch the next one 😊

Can’t wait for each episode. The technical quality , is just amazing and as always your personality beams, keep it up Paddy.

Don't think I didn't notice the second comparison you did to Thailand when you mentioned that foreigners and locals pay the same fee for tourist sites. LOL Actually it doesn't bother me that in Thailand they charge foreigners more to visit national parks etc. It's their country and I'm just a guest.

@onalonan

2 жыл бұрын

Lol, I'm just thinking the same. As a Thai I think it's really not fair too when you have to pay different fees but probably it's the way the government want to charge to the foreigners. I have these experiences too when I went to studied in Christchurch Newzealand when I was a teenager(25 years ago) and I had to paid more than a million baht per year(us$ 30,000+/year) just to studied in a very very local school while the local students studied for free or nearly free.

Been following Paddy for years and I've been excitedly waiting for this series to begin. I was even more excited to see Tia & Cheveyo on this episode. I started following their channel earlier this year and they've become one of my many favourite travel vloggers to follow.

The @onepackwanderers are the best. Tia & Chev Rock!!!!! 👊😎

Your editing and cinematography is absolutely top tier. I've been to Saigon years ago and I think I'd last maybe 30 seconds scootering around there so huge accolades to you for doing that.

Paddy you got this Ricky Gervais vibe about you. Almost same hairstyle, cheeky humour, characteristic laughter, you're a alcoholic. What else. Naaa nothing you just have to work on you're "I don't give a fuck" attitude. I mean it as a compliment with all my heart !

Challenges not problems Paddy. You will be fine now you are on the road. Not getting booked/having the Dreamster impounded shows good fortune is on your side. Looking forward to your travels. If they are anything as good as your Thai travels we are in for a treat. Take care and have fun 😀

We love Tia, she is always smiling. Excellent comments from them comparing Thailand and Vietnam as we are trying to decide which to visit next. Take care Cathy and Kevs x

Enjoyed the videos so far. Already know you're going to give us a good one paddy. Felt a bit weird knowing you were taking us away from our beloved Thailand but you're doing a fab job! Can't wait to see what's in store. Take care!

🤣🤣🤣 I'm not going to compare Vietnam to Thailand in the rest of the series. Next shot: "the entrance fee for foreigners and Vietnamese is the same" 😉😉😉 I know it's difficult Paddy 😄

Haven't finished the video yet, but when you talked about making only one comparison between thailand and Vietnam, and you promised, I was so relieved. As you said, both places should be allowed to stand on their own merits, and I am even more intrigued now that you've defined your lens even more. Thanks for sharing!

Loving it. Don’t know why but these Vietnam vids just weave together so much better. Plus I think you’ve really come into your own as a presenter, not apologising if things go a bit shit. Because, hey, that’s life. And god knows, you’re living it, man. Tip of the hat.

Hi Paddy, I like your helmet, it's very nice, but if I were you I would take it in white because black attracts heat, that's why you are hot, you can paint it white, it's cheap in Vietnam, have a good trip. Eric

Loving the format of these videos. The right amount of travel and culture and history that I want on my videos. I also can notice youve been in Asia for long. Its cool to see how effortless you adapt to the social structure of brother asian countries.

This series might just have inspired me to travel Vietnam by bike one day. Excited for the rest of the episodes!

Absolutely love that you meet up with One Pack Wanders. Been watching them for about a year (you since budgeteers season 1) and love seeing the vlogger meetups. Can't wait to get back to southeast Asia myself.

The collaboration part, I felt that! All the collabs ppl see are the big youtubers who all live in LA and New York, etc. Which is why people feel obligated to move to those places. I'm so glad you touched on that! Awesome start to series!

Great video I'm enjoying this series as I used to live in Hanoi before moving to Bangkok just before COVID happened!! It's nice to see the old Quarter again and the Vietnamese food and sidewalk, outside the old Quarter of Hanoi is soo beautiful it has soo many lakes and old French architecture!! If anyone is reading I'd definitely recommend exploring outside the tourist parts 👍👍👍

Another super video. Exited for the next. Thanks Paddy. Stay well.

Fun to see you guys meet up. One pack wanderers are great. Great start to the trip Paddy. Second go pro on the handle bars is cool but the angle was a bit wonky

Take Care Paddy ♥️ Sort of busy recently and I watch this vlog late today-now. Be careful on the trip 👌

Good work Paddy. 👏 im heading over in November so good to see your journey unfolding. Looks amazing to be fair. Stay safe.

I'm so excited for my Hanoi trip next year after watching this video :) Safe travels!

I must admit I had lost interest in your channel recently, but these first videos in Vietnam have me hooked again.

Hi paddy looks like being another great and fascinating journey look forward to seeing more 👍😎👌🙏

So glad to see you in Viet Nam with One Pack Wanderers, who I follow! Dreamy is taking a well-deserved rest. New motorbike? Remey? R.E.M (actual dream cycle) Good luck and have a blast!

Such improvement on the video composition and storytelling! Great work Paddy!

PADDY ME BOY!!!!! Just calm down. Things will be okay. Yoou will get through this and be successful. I am backing yuou all the way. Cheers mate.

Salut Paddy, we agree so much with One Pack Wanderers - Da Lat is awesome! ☺Enjoy Vietnam to the fullest it's really amazing!

What's great about Paddy's channel is that you can tell it's honest and real. Alot of KZreadrs are 'always happy', always smiling or being 'crazy', sticking their tongues our, open mouthed, fake stuff just for the camera. You know when Paddy is happy or not, as we all do.

Wow.. i think this adventure will be fun... Take care Paddy!!!

Great vid. Getting better and better. Very well edited again dude!

Wow Paddy, just wow what I love your videos, keep going man!

Haha … what a start to your trip! It always intrigues me as to why when one has responsibilities the next day, has a big night the night before! 🤪 😇 have done it many times. However, having said this, I’m not usually riding off on a road trip on a bike in a new country. 😊 So looking forward to your adventures in Vietnam. Make sure you visit Sapa….and take something warm. We did a home stay and trek in the mountains… highly recommended this. Cannot remember the name as it was about 8 yrs ago, but I guess if you ask around on your arrival someone will point you in the right direction. Keep them coming Paddy, we so look forward to your videos and your infectious personality.💥👌👏

Watching both of your channels and now you joined them both, Vietnam is now on the list for next years travel. Paddy how hard is it to have a deeper conversation or ask to film locals out their?

I couldn't believe... you ride in Vietnam with out any scratch! 👏👏👏 you are a pro!

Paddy ….. I am so excited to start the journey with you and get to know better Vietnam . 🌸

Been there. Done that. Hahaha. A shot of whisky mixed with a strong cup of coffee and breakfast is the instant cure. It's a good thing you are already a seasoned road-veteran. Really looking forward to the next-level roller-coaster ride of life. Very much looking forward to some of your special historic approach. I think this is going to be a challenging experience. Taking joy as I sit here in my comfortable studio and bask in your rough&ready adventures / our armchair adventures. First class journalism. Thank you, sir. dcb

Hey nice to see your video.wtchong ths one light funny..ad egg coffee..very strange feeling😄

I’ve craved Bun Cha every since having it in Vietnam some years back. I’ve never found anything that comes close even in Vietnamese restaurants here. The smell of the marinated pork being grilled was like something from a cartoon where the character gets a sniff of it and just floats to the source of the smell :-)

Love it, Paddy. I remember looking for some tunnels in Vietnam in the wrong place with my girlfriend on the back of scooter, we broke down in the middle of nowhere, some old boy who spoke not a word of English, put his foot on my foot rest, told us to sit and pushed us along for about 20mins to get us to a garage, then just left us there and refused to take any money, and he didn’t even smile once, just went about his Bussines helping people. I agree with the Americans, Na Trang was also my least favourite, didn’t even stop there more than a night.

Hi Paddy - I am really happy they said Bun Cha was they're favourite food! I got a tip from a local in Hanoi and it's honestly amazing. Also please please go to Hoian - the place feels like a little bit of luxury in Vietnam, great old town, great greek restaurant near the Japanese Bridge (random af to eat Greek food here, but worth it) great beach etc etc etc. Lastly, great content. Can really see some TV-like presenter skills too! (BBC in the future! lol)

Wow, you met Tia and gang. I followed them from South to North. And you're actually the one who bought them the gadget they can't find in VN. Unfortunately they left without going to Sapa. I like to know more about Sapa.

Omg I love One Pack Wanderers! Been following then since their Thailand trip. I'm finally here in Thailand because you Paddy and them. Riding the sleeper train right now from Bangkok to Chumphon then taking a ferry to Koh Tao. Thank you both for the motivation to do this!

Trials, tribulations and a little hang over, sounds challenging!!

People gonna love you Paddy because you dont compare countries, this is the hate of Asian people when youtubers compare their countries to others especially their borders. Keep it that way!

Thanks for the insights Paddy. The French influence is apparent in the architecture and proliferation of bakeries.

Ive just arrived back in Thailand after the covid thing hit 2+ years ago so i'm feeling the heat.. And i'm really feeling for you, having to get packed and organised and feeling all hot and hung over!! Plus do the vlogging thing. Obviously you put yourself in that situation, could have got to bed earlier you naughty boy!!. But yeah I do feel for you!! Makes me realise how hard you and other vloggers work to entertain us. So thanks Paddy. Love your vids! Just watching todays vid makes me want to revisit Vietnam. ESpecially as theyve stopped wearing masks!

Im Thai 🇹🇭 and subscribed. Im following your vdo from Thailand. Hope you enjoy in Vietnam.🇻🇳

I'm reading the comments about how people have been inspired by Paddy D. And yes I have to say the same. Not just bout Paddy although I've been very inspired by his Thailand trip. What a great travel guide! But I also listen to and watch many other podcasters and vloggers and they have changed my life and beliefs in so many ways. I've done things and gone to places I never would have thought of doing or going to without them. What an awesome world we live in! 🙏💖

Loved seeing One Pack on your channel! Safe ride 🥂 (and I vote “Extreme Dream” for your bike name 😂)

That 'only comparison you did' is a VERY important one, and the reason I recently spend a month in Vietnam instead of Thailand.

Hi Paddy. I bumped into One Pack Wanderers in Da Nang in May. Lovely, warm, up-beat people. But I didn't get wasted with them. Hey, I found a place in Saigon that restores old Honda Dreams. I'm trying to locate it on a map, thought you'd like to go and have a squiz. Thanks for the great videos and helping to keep me sane since the start of the pandemic when I couldn't travel for 2 years, I did it vicariously through KZread. Cheers, Simon from Melbourne

One Pack Wanderers paid a visit? They're one of my favorite channels. Great series thus far too!

Confirming some of what I've been told and thought about TH vs Nam .... ease & infrastructure (TH) vs chaos (Nam). That and legally driving, owning, parking MB is a bit of a turn off. Think I'll stay here, TH. Looking forward to the rest of the 'Nam' series.

Can't agree on the Egg Coffee. Absolute incredible 🥰

Comparisons are fine Paddy, it's how we evaluate things. It's a frame of reference, and many of your viewers are farangs in Thailand.

i have to say this doyle fellow has great camera work. Bio says hes a teacher, but that could be anything really. Very few youtubers put this much effort into editing. Well done. Us audience reward quality, you'll hit that subscribe milestone long before december for 100k
