welcome to prana nakankiri palace home of the great king rama iv let's go check it out
okay we're here about three hours south of bangkok how you feeling on the roads it was a
quick three hours yeah yeah how's your butt give you a 2000 baht 2 000 baht if you rub it for me
wait i'll do it for free i'd rub your ass get right in there um so about another hour before we
get to hawaii and right on the side of the main road is this place it was a palace built for i
think it was built for rama iv but then i think by the time it was finished rammer the fifth moved in
and you can actually go and see the royal quarters and uh the private estate is absolutely gorgeous
are you a vlogger now what's going on with this i'm sending stuff to my wife on facebook
he's gonna start a youtube channel by the end of this trip not paddy doyle.com
where's the safety rope yeah right
yeah absolutely just as beautiful as last time so we you go through this actual building which
is where he uh the king used to sleep and you can go into his bedroom where he used to get a shave
washroom hangout room games room and uh just can't film inside unfortunately but it's really
nice it's cool to be able to actually go inside a beautiful old royal palace michael says he's
sending messages to his wife but i'm not convinced i think he's uh the next vlogger to hit the scene
excuse me are you a vlogger yes i'm not paddy doyle.com what did you think about
being able to go inside there the little palace i looked on airbnb yes uh 16 000 baht per night
no aircon but we should do it
we're ballers
right lovely lovely little stop but uh we're on a mission
me and michael to get to hua hin find a nice place to stay
dump our stuff get to the beach should we get back on the road sir yes sir let's do it
right we've checked in to the b2 premiere these hotels are always just such a reliable
cheap option clean centrally located and they do exactly what they say on the tin
which is nice firm clean bed nice hot shower and uh they never include breakfast but you're
normally looking at 500 to 800 baht we paid 800 baht because it's the weekend
and michael's lovely isn't he he's a really sweet nice guy and um it feels strange to be
sharing the road with someone you know check in the mirror to make sure if they're still following
and uh just having people to share little experiences with along the way so
it's different for me i've never really done it before um invited anybody to come join me yet
at the beginning of the trip i was planning to do loads of ride-alongs but then i've just kind of
got stuck in my ways and i quite enjoy the solitude or lonely traveler single solo travel
life kind of thing but um it is really nice to have someone um so hopefully we don't butt heads
yeah it's been three quite terrible days
let me take you somewhere a little bit quieter and i'll explain everything
right so
beautiful sunset beautiful weather in hua hin when we arrived and we had a few beers
we had a nice vietnamese dinner and we had an early night the next day
it was like a whole different country it was like we just transported ourselves back to england
on a rainy miserable day there was a huge um change in weather across the whole of the south
of thailand even as far as bangkok it dropped from 35 degrees celsius to 20 and it was so cold and
the weather was windy and rainy and miserable so we said okay we'll just take a day off in hua hin
and we'll wait for the weather to blow over and then michael had an accident
and ended up at the police station so he went out uh on his own to explore one of those temples in
hua hin and i was just um in bed actually i had food poisoning and i had diarrhoea and it was
terrible and then michael text me and he said i've just had an accident and the police are coming
so the first thing i said is a are you okay and how is the bike and he said he was fine but the
bike had had some damage to it the front panel had popped out and he had smashed a little part
of the wing mirror and the front mirror and that the thai police had been had been called
and he ended up going to the police station um luckily he was in the right they cut him
they cut him up and crashed into him it wasn't the other way around but because he didn't indicate
the police gave him a fine of 500 baht but the other two people who had called the police
uh they got in more trouble so when the truth came through and the reenactments
uh were played and he was there for a couple of hours and then michael got out of the police
station with a selfie with the police a story to tell and thankfully no no injuries and then i had
another night of just fever and diarrhea i think it was the food we had or something i don't know
what happened i was just dead and the weather was terrible and so yesterday we just braved it
and we drove all the way here to champon and the weather was terrible and it took us five six
hours and the ride was miserable and i was in so much pain because i hadn't slept
i had to stop quite often to go to the toilet just real miserable real a real miserable few
days and then today miss p has arrived and uh we were planning to get the ferry to koh tao
however the waves and the weather is so bad and last night when we were having dinner luckily
someone told us that they had gone to the pier to pick up their friends who had come back from koh
tao and there was three ambulances waiting at the pier because the weather was so bad wiped
everybody out on the boat and three people were rushed to hospital because they were so sick and
there was sick everywhere and apparently the whole ferry ride was just an absolute misery
so with today we were basically going to cancel going to koh tao however we've just called the
the ferry company and they've said that they're not going to be doing the smaller speed boat today
they're going to be upgrading to the bigger ferry the catamaran which we're thinking is still going
to be miserable but it's it's hopefully going to be less miserable than a small speed boat
getting absolutely battered around by the waves you see the thing is my court had booked
a really nice place in koh tao um on airbnb a big villa very expensive and we felt bad for him
you see one of the things michael told me was you know he's never been on one of these trips where
nothing was planned you know no no itinerary just let's drive and let's see what happens because
that's how i travel because uh if i'm sick or if the weather's bad then we just stay in the town
and you know you just play by your weather you play by your mood you play by your health
and so i was like this is the whole point about now that i'm traveling
with someone i have to adapt and change my travel style he wants to book things
and so he booked kotao and at the time i i i was said okay fine that's that's okay i mean
we didn't expect the bad weather we didn't expect the wind we didn't expect diarrhea in sickness
um so i i dragged myself to here i dragged myself to code to chomp on sorry
uh yesterday and i passed out last night luckily i got about six seven out eight hours sleep
and then today with the news of the ferry changing to the bigger ferry i think we're going to brave
it because i don't want him to lose out on this expensive booking he can't get a refund
michael had an accident i had diarrhoea the weather's terrible
and now we're going to go town we don't know you know if if we're going to get there in one piece
just bumped into some subscribers who just got the ferry from koh tao to jump on and
they said it was brutal and everybody was being sick so we've taken our medicine and
i think we're just gonna suck it up for two hours and hope that it's all gonna be worth it
yeah things were not looking good for this furry ride to koh tao we were dreading it the faces
on the people who got off this ferry guys just said it all
we were putting ourselves up for a few hours of hell in misery but was it going to be worth
it is koh tao the jewel in the gulf of thailand what will happen will this road
trip get back on form will michael have more accidents will i get more diarrhea
all of these questions and more will have to wait until the next adventure so thanks for watching
and we'll see you in the next video from koh tao on the journey to phuket see you in the next one
