Koh Samui is my favorite Island for sure in Thailand, What I love about Samui are the cool ocean waters unlike the very warm coastal mainland waters of Thailand. How safe is Thailand? I went to Koh Phangan for a visit, rented a motorbike. I was out all day. Then stopped to eat. I was horrified, my wallet was gone. No money, No credit cards. Lost on the highway somewhere. Went straight to the police station to report the lose, then my phone rang. Someone found my wallet on the road. Phoned my home in the USA, got my Thailand number. Meet up. Not a dime was missing. I bought them and their family dinner. Trip was saved. Great video Paddy.
✌️
Your comment makes me cry tears of gratitude. 🇹🇭😇
When I was in Thailand I went to a restaurant. We sat at a table and a better one became avalible so we were moved over. Had food and drinks then went to pay, no wallet. Panic set in when one of the waiters came over with the wallet, nothing missing. So lucky and grateful. :) A very good tip for a great person and place!
It's so nice to know good people still exist
Iv had a similar thing happen great people honest
if you put a nice small side map would b great to guide our sense of direction and place
Brilliant idea!!!
Agreed! Paddy's are simply the best videos out there on Thailand. We are big fans. Trying to put a 25 day itinary together, but I find it difficult to get a sense of distance and direction, in what order it makes sense to go to maximize our time, between islands and mainland....
Planning my first trip to Thailand this winter and I’m finding your videos to be SO helpful! Thanks for making them to include so many different aspects of travel so they inform so thoroughly. 😊
Super great compilation of islands!! Love this "Best of Series" Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing.
Loved your vlog, hoping to get to Samui soon. Think it will be my favourite to as it has so much to offer as you mentioned plus international hospitals. Great idea grouping it up into islands, restaurants, places of interest etc. You never run out of content.
Nice work Paddy, I really enjoyed that review! Great narration brought the whole thing together! A few more spots for the bucket list for sure!
Very good review mate, well done!
These are great Paddy! You should sell these to the Tourism Authority of Thailand... As always, amazing footage, and fantastic narration. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the videos in this series!
Wow, thanks
This is class 👏 this video series is a great idea, and you can continue to revise them for years to come.

I'm *SO* glad I happened upon your channel! I fly to Thailand for the first time in January and there is tons of useful info in your videos that I'm using to make a rough itinerary with, thankyou so much! It will be my first time travelling solo and I'm a little nervous but watching your videos is making me feel really excited! :)
I'm so glad!
Same
Thanks for sharing! So useful to make a decision on where to go next!!!
Koh Samui, here we come! Thank you Paddy for the informative video. My hubby is Chinese Thai but he sees himself Thai so we go to Thailand almost every year to visit my in law who moved back to Thailand. We have never been to any place but Bangkok and Chiangmai. I subscribed to your channel and binge watch your videos to plan our next trip in Thailand since it’s opening. Thank you for not sugarcoat in your videos but honesty.
Forget about Samui’ it’s a boutique island. It was meant to be an island for the rich. Pretty boring, some decent hotels and beaches. This dude clueless
I spend ages researching Thailand looking through all sorts of vlogs …… I’ve just watched a few of yours and I’m hooked! Cheers mate! Learning a lot ready for my 3 months backpacking at the end of this year 👍
Great vid my dude! I see you and the cook are still traveling together. I’ll be traveling to a few of these just based on this vid. Thanks!
This vid was great Paddy!
Awesome stuff! Thanks!
Thank you for this content, it’s really made it easy to choose 😊
Nice video we love it! Love the places !!
Soooo beautiful 😍😍 Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻❤️
Thank you! Cheers!
I have been waiting for this video and I am glad you made it. I haven't been to most of these islands as I have only been to Thailand twice for two weeks each time, but I feel like every video of yours I watch, I add to my list of places to visit. I didn't expect Phi Phi and Phucket to be on the list, but I knew Koh Samui would be #1 from watching your videos. I have been to Koh Chang, Phucket, and Koh Lanta so far. Koh Samui and Koh Lipe are coming up next!
A year well spent and a great series, well done. Spot on-Koh Samui No 1, back in the day I lived in the village of Lamai for 7 years. End of this year, early next year I plan a two month + visit to Thailand and the most part will be spent on Koh Samui.
Thank you, your footages are amazing. Thailand has many beautiful beaches that we want to visit. Your information help us to narrow down which islands that we want to visit on our first trip to Thailand.
Thank you so much, great information, it really help us to decide which island to go. Thank you.
Thanks Paddy for all your hard work in making these lists. They definitely will be useful when I go to Thailand for at least a few months next year.
My pleasure
Been fortunate enough to have visited most islands mentioned. Glad you mentioned Koh Mook...probably my favourite. Combine it with a short stay at Koh Kradan and Koh Ngai a short speedboat trip away...you won't regret it 😎
👍❗Top ☀
Very professional and informative video- many thanks!!!!!
Thanks paddy for your nice vlog👌
Beautiful again Paddy! I am really enjoying these top 10's. So many places I need to see on my next trip! Be well my friend.
Glad you like them!
Hiya Paddy, Koh Samui is my fav for sure. Nice to have the mountains and the beaches. Great video. Loving these travel guides. So informative put into sections. Thank you for sharing. Have a great Friday and weekend.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the video 👍👍
We definitely agree! Koh Samui is the best island in Thailand ❤️🏝😊
I visited Koh Samui 5 times, and I will again & again!
Really!? What about Krabi?
It looks sooooooo quite.
I free too
Love your videos !! ❤
Unbelievable that vlog was awesome and yet again you have opened my eyes to so much beauty. Koh Samui is hands down my favorite. I lived there for over 3 months and i had an amazing time and i cant wait to return . Looking forward to the next vlog . Great Job Paddy ,
Mine too!
I’ve now got a new Thailand bucket list. I haven’t been to a single one of these islands, in my nearly 3 dozen trips to Thailand, YET! 🤩
Great vid!
Incredible islands! Thank you for showing them in such an ineresting way!
Dankeschön für diese tolle Video ich fliege zum ersten mal nach Thailand ! Bin gespannt was da mich erwartet 😍
Great info 😀🙏👍
You really are inspiring me to travel more when I'm over there. I must admit I've not heard of some them . But they look stunning, every one of them. Cheers Paddy
Similan island, Surin Island, Koh Rok, Koh Raya are amazing too
Wow! What an amazing review you gave to all those beauties, I really enjoyed. Never been there, but it feels like have to!
Thanks Paddy, great content, Koh Samui sounds great, i may try it out on my next visit to Thailand.
Wow this video is amazing 😍
Loved your choices ❤
many thanks paddy. very inspiring for the next trip… hopefully end of the year. take care and keep vlogging
I love all the island that you shared! 😊
I never been in Thailand. Just by watching all these youtubers, so far right now my choice is Koh Phangan. One day I'll will go to Thailand and then my choice may change. I love so much the beaches the sea waters & rivers... most clear waters for sure of course... TY again Mr Doyle, I enjoy very much this video,

I may have to go back to koh samui as when i was there it didnt really get that same feeling i wasnt a fan
Hey Paddy! I love your videos and I’m planning on visiting Thailand next year. Could you do a video of best boat tours, activities you recommend to do and how did you book them online or in person? Thanks again!
Love your video Paddy. Useful video. Informative. Thank you.
Very welcome
I love your Top 10 series :) of course, such a list is always subjective, but I can see your reasons! Have you actually been to Koh Phayam? I havent but many people swear on that one. Anyway, continue your great work, cant wait to visit Vietnam with you :)
It's funny Paddy. I've been watching your complete travels. I'm planning on going in November. On my rough draft itinerary, I'm planning on most of the islands on this video. Thank you 💓
WOW WOW WOW MEGA VIDEO ONCE AGAIN !!!
Looking a bit slimmer Paddy! Great videos and very informative. I'm too a teaching casualty of being overworked with online plus in school and then no holidays. Thanks for the vids.
Thank you I’m planning ten days in Thailand and a week in Singapore we’re leaving November 9th!! Your video was awesome I can’t wait to watch more! 🙏 😊
Awesome as always. Koh Lanta is always a fav of ours. Plus Koh Jum near Krabi is great. Quite and locals great.
I plan to go around Thailand near future ... Thanks for all your videos Paddy ... all infos will help me 😁
Great video Paddy can’t wait till November,,,peace
Fantastic shots.....
Thank you for this clip. Follow you !!
omg， I can't image how you can make so many good videos in such a short time, all those landscape are so good
Nice to see that my favorite island Koh Chang ended up so high on your list🏝😎👌
Koh Chang is my favorite too.
Cool Dude Kho Chang and samui are mega.
Phuket it is for me for the moment, i have yet to travel and find out about the rest mate 😉 Thanks for your POV on the islands 🙏 And as always, C Ya in the next one, cheers 🙌🍻
Koh Samui wins every time in my book. Great video.
Amazing! Again xx love what you do xx Samui for me, but to be fair not seen the rest like you xxx
I am Thai ,I think no.1 is Similan 2.PP 3.Phuket .Good visibility under water must book your sea-trip 4-5 days before every full-moon and after every full moon 4-5 days as that's day strong current take the bottom sand to the surface then bad visibility.
Bang up video here, treacle. Shall attempt to feast me peepers on some of these in the future, cheers. Spiffing!
This video makes me miss Thailand so much❣😊
🇹🇭❤️🇹🇭
All is so beautiful island in Thailand, Thank you so much my friend,
paddy, i just want to say that when i first came to this channel i know this was my type i liked it and enjoyed and watched it every day. Let's hit 100k subs!
Great presentation champ, I really appreciate your unpretentious, and chirpy approach towards your presentation, totally got me inspired to leave cold Adelaide. Thankyou
Glad it was helpful!
I hope the Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (TCEB) collaborates with you somehow, someway for these fine tips, Paddy! It's important for us professional planners to know these information from you, "an attendee" who may be foreign to the country. Thank you so much for your videos. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Many thank you for review koh in thailand. very nic erykoh.
Reilay Krapi is the best place for me. Really a great place and beautiful But tank you for showing us all this beautiful places.
Awesome video ! Next, we need the top 10 things that went wrong with Dreamy 😎
I loved Koh Samui, not surprised it is #1 island on your list
i'm at khod mook right now, cause of your vdo. My first time at Trang
Nice to see your video
A very good summary of some beautiful places. I think the criteria must vary by time. It's not the Top 10 Beaches, so it has to be more than 1 day. The periods could be 1 week, 3 months, ... 1 year ... life & retirement. The small islands are picture-perfect for an instagrammable week. As the time period goes up, so must the size of the island, the population, and hence, services available. Samui and Phuket have the size and variety for a long stay, including east/west coast sunrise/sunset beaches, mountains, waterfalls and jungle hiking, as well as the intl airports, large towns, medical facilities, magnificent temples, festivals, shopping malls, diverse restaurants, expat communities (pro or con :) watersport activities and entertainment districts. The main drawbacks are too many tourists in high season, and high prices, partly to prey on that tourist demand ( _Eat, Prey, Love_ :) but enacted by monopolistic local family mafias (e.g. only one airline flies to Samui; only one taxi co. in Samui; the infamous Phuket taxi mafia, min fare 200 baht even for 1km).
Thanks for the video!!… we are going to Koh Samui in mid-June. Any advice on restaurants that are a must? We’d love to taste some real local cuisine. Thanks again.
Wonderful video Paddy, but no Koh Samet, was a huge surprise. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I'm glad I visited 5 out of 10 your list, already. 5 to go
Thank you for an excellent presentation here. I am looking forward to becoming an expat in either Thailand or the Philippines and I would like to enjoy these islands you pointed out. My ETA is sometime June 2024.
Similan Islands I think most beautiful islands I’ve seen in Thailand
Ik ben Thais en ik ben echt heel blij dat jij naar lopburi bent geweest
I’d put Pangers at 2, but agree with you about Samui at 1. I live there in Lamai for 4 months each year. Just left there 5 days ago to avoid 12 days of torrential rain. Been in sunny Dubai since, hate it here, but it’s always sunny.
Hey not sure If you're going to read this love your videos and I found it really helpful, just 1 thing it would be amazing if at the beginning you flash the location on a map in future videos.
Great list, but it is unfortunate that Koh Similan was closed when you went out there. When I went to Thailand, the islands of Koh Similan and Koh Surin in the Andaman Sea were absolutely paradise on earth. A few of the best days of my life was when I was there.
Ofcourse similan island it is number 1
Do you have a instagram to message you on? I’m going out in December and want some advise
Kkk
I agree! Surin has a special place in my heart!
yes Koh Similan is great but thers no hotel on the small island its just a daytrip at least when i was there.he is talking about island that you can stay on for some days
Loved the video. Thank you for this, it's helpful. Are there any options where we can go on a boat trip at night (after sunset) privately?
Ko Racha Yai ... amazing place!
Amazing video Paddy thank you so much. I am planing to visit southern islands next July. Any recommendations? Is it a bad idea because of the weather? BR
Amazing video Paddie, we are heading over in July. What islands would you recommend to visit? I know it will be wet season but we are celebrating a big milestone birthday on full moon 😊
Attitude of gratitude for who you are and all you share.
Thailand is so beautiful.... 😍
Great video! Just found your account, i will be watching your other videos since i am going to thailand for half a year. Do you maybe have tips for when you can negotiate about the price and when you stick to the one that is given? And how much lower you can go?☺️
❤️🙏🏻Paddy! We left Koh Samui as so many tourists. Koh Phangan was more laid back. Zen Beach has amazing sunsets & was great atmosphere. Much cheaper as well(2020) maybe more expensive now. Can recommend Dragon Huts if you are ever there again.💞💋
NICE VIDEO
Hey Paddy great video, great information. I’ve got one question as I’ve just watched a video about murdious Koh Tao, have you heard anything about that? We were planning on going there as it sounds fab but now I’m put off with so many tourist’s deaths.
Samui has it all. Great island . Probably the best one to live on if u want to live on an island in Thailand.
Great choices Paddy. Having been to Thailand 4 times, the islands I have been to are Koh Lipe twice (the first time was a day trip from Langkawi in Malaysia), Phuket, Railey (although this is really a peninsula), Koh Muk once, Koh Phi Phi on day trips and 3 nights too, Koh Samui, Koh Tao, Koh Phangan, Koh Yao Noi, Koh Lanta, Koh Kradan, Koh Hong and Koh Ngai. I'll be honest that I'm not a fan of Phuket although Similan Island is nice though but I love Krabi. My favourite Thai Islands are Koh Phi Phi, Koh Lipe, Koh Samui, Railey and Koh Tao I want to do one more visit to Thailand and go to Chiang Mai as well as Koh Chang and Koh Kood
Hi brother, im going to Thailand in 6 months I’m 52 years old and i love music,good food, relax, boat rides I’ll be there for 10 days could you please tell me where would you go for this trips? would love to visit at least 3 islands. Thanks
@@sergiomeza7525 Hi Sergio. I would start with 2 days in Bangkok for food, music, tour sites, culture etc, then 3 nights in Koh Samui (can do a day trip to Koh Tao from there) then you can either spend the 5 nights in either Phuket or Krabi (Ao Nang). Phuket has a lot of beaches, can do island trips such as Phi Phi Island and Similan Island for snorkelling as well as entertainment and shopping, and visiting tour sites like Big Buddha, Wat Chalong, Karon Viewpoint and Promthep Cape. Krabi or Ao Nang is more quieter and more relaxing but can do boat trips to Hong Islands, Phi Phi Islands, Railey, and 4-Islands tours as well as kayaking in the swamps, rockclimbing in Railey, climbing 1237 steps to the summit of Tiger Cave Temple and also visiting the Hot Springs and Emerald Pool - food and shops are plentiful and less commercialized compared to Phuket
Thank you so much for responding brother ..
If you head to chiang Mai lookup Pai as well. 3 hours away and paradise. Stay away during burn season
@@colindart4895 For my 5th and final visit to Thailand, I am planning to see Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Pai, Koh Kood and Koh Chang
