I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT FOR TOO LONG. It’s been so hard living in Australia and not able to go home to visit families/my home country. And your videos have made things a little bit easier, you are coming up to provinces near my home town!!!! Love your videos, keep doing what you’re doing. You have become a daily routine for my boyfriend and I, we watch you during dinner every.single.day!

555 my wife’s aunt had a som tom shop in BKK and I learned very early on about only asking for som tom thai as compared to the Issan one.

Paddy. In the pork larb, that is pig skin not tripe (you would only get tripe in beef larb).

[Stephen-pchh]

I've lived here in isan for 10 years and i love it.

The reverse dogs were hilarious. Nice synchronization of the drone footage with the music too.

[larshultberg]

Please don’t rush through Isaan. Isaan is what I have looked forward to most. There is soooo much to see in Isaan. Especially in the border provinces to Laos. They are just wow!

15:19 Hahaha, those two swings beside the river have two Thai words on the board are quite interesting and creative.

ขึ้นคาน and ลงคาน . If you literally translate the words they means "clime up to a beam and clime down from the beam". But we use the beam word as being a single status in Thai.

Therefore ขึ้นคาน (clime up to a beam) actually means "be a spinster" and ลงคาน (clime down from the beam) means "No longer single"

Love Isan. Love the people. The landscape. The food. The culture. ❤

Somtam plara is class. Granted it’s an acquired taste, but it’s really good once yiu get into it.

[petermckinnon]

I laughed at the bit where you got off your scooter and the dog was walking backwards and you looked at it, then a girl walked down the road backwards and I thought oh she’s teaching her dog how to walk backwards, then I looked at a guy over the road and he was walking backwards. Ha ha ha

Loei is beautiful back in the 80’s n still is today. Ate in a quaint wooden restaurant just like the one you ate in. Thank you for capturing this moment. Definitely missed Isaan SomTam, it is an acquired taste Paddy. I love it. Cheers

[jomontanee]

I love “reverse” technique. The doggies seem mesmerized. 🤣

[AmbientWalking]

Such a pleasure to go on a trip with you. Thailand is huge, Paddy!! I can't believe how many places I've never been before and possibly will never get the chance to go!

[bodilsoldeberg]

Every time you said "Fiji" I died a little inside. It's mount Fuji not "Fiji" 😃.... Fiji is a country 😉

[goodtripsonly]

Lol that was extremely entertaining watching you eat that crab salad 😂😂

[huwthomas]

Paddy, do what I do, ask for Som Tam without 'old fish' (bor plaa tow - no old fish, in Essan Thai). Loei is a beautiful part of Essan, I spent a great few days in a village near Dan Sai with me Thai family and friends (we raised money back in Ban Sam Rong nr Khon Kaen to help my brother-in-law's home village nr Dan Dai build a temple). Great party and Buddhist ceremony. Enjoy

[AyeeeItsCam]

Northeast/Eastern Thailand to be honest feels like a totally different country. You did it again, Paddy! Crazy awesome content.

[miarena]

2021 and finaly a completley honest foodreview on youtube !

[paulharrison]
