we're back on the road baby back on dreamy this time we're heading up into the mountains we're still not on the provinces i'm sorry but i think we're gonna be going back on the road very soon guys i promise things are looking better things are on the precipice of the restrictions being lessened a little bit and there are plenty of i'm just trying to figure out where to go let's go this way but i don't know there are plenty of um provinces further north north of bangkok that um are orange and yellow whatever you want to call it it just feels good to be back on dreamy and back exploring new roads and new parts of the country even though we're still on samui i mean look if i just stop here and drive into this coconut plantation you can see what i'm talking about oh there's a dog classic you know just beautiful coconut trees and um oh there's a buffalo sleeping oh here come the dog okay i'm leaving oh they're coming right behind me can you see him enjoy the video my name is paddy doyle and that behind me is little beautiful dreamy i recently quit my job as a teacher to travel all of the 77 provinces of thailand and we were having the time of our lives we spent three months in the south visiting 18 of the incredibly beautiful provinces down there however covert came back and so for safety reasons i came back to koh samui to see out the worst of it and to highlight more of this incredibly beautiful island so welcome to samurai side quest where we're going to be highlighting all of the local businesses on the island and all of the best experiences this place has to offer it's unbelievable really is fantastic little temple incredible place so subscribe and join us on today's samui side quests let's go have you ever seen a baby buffalo because if you haven't i think i just found one you see he has kind of like a white skin tone i don't know if that's because she's a baby or maybe she was born in albino the more i look at her the more i think she is an albino just because she's got a different color skin doesn't she look at her nose look at her ears do they mature and turn black or do they or she and albino either way what beautiful magnificent animals look she's just taking a seat hello mummy she's obviously not bothered how are you you're such a beautiful animal aren't you ah take a little rest anyway not like we have a destination but come on dreamy let's go on the road so i've just seen a cool turning just just before this buffalo hey buddy you good okay don't kill me i'm just i'm just turning around okay jesus um i don't think buffalos kill humans but they might do um if you piss them off so let's not piss them off anyway i just saw this mad like rock formation and like mini jungle and i just thought let's go down this little jungle path i love this area of samui basically you go to maine now and you turn left at 7 11. and then you quite quickly get into this which i love this is the kind of this is the side of samui that i personally love the most i know i've been like doing luxury villa stuff and nice restaurants and things um and i've been trying to show you touristy spots on samui trying to promote local businesses but the real samui is in the inland you know the countryside the muddy trails the buffaloes feeding the random stuff and that's the stuff i love the most try not to get my trainers away on this mud so let's just see what's down here eh wow it's like the surface of mars yeah i just love these little random places that i find with dreamy and this was some sort of in-use quarry half of it was massive but there was no machinery going on and you could see the exposed walls and i flew the drone up and over the jungle edge and you could see the beautiful northern shores of samui there was a few diggers and things but i didn't really understand what they were digging for couldn't figure it out maybe the clearing space for a new resort or something anyway you guys had recommended me to go check out a waterfall in this area and i've been putting it off so let's get back on the road and let's see if we can find this beautiful waterfall you guys have recommended okay i think we're approaching the waterfall so hold on to your butts there's a nice drive up here by the way some lovely posh houses and jungle roads now we're in the dark thickness of it um but i'm not really holding out much for this waterfall because like i said it has been raining a bit but not a massive amount this is gorgeous guys absolutely gorgeous the best thing about having honda as for the honda dream a little while dreamy is um the gears you know you just go down to first and you can just break on the engine going downhill is a lot simpler there's a dusty old sign there let's go up off piste okay dreamy that wasn't your fault that was my fault how am i going to get you up i'm in a bit of a pickle here you see how she's slanted i think i'll be able to get her up here come on the ground is so slippy okay dreamy this this is what's gonna happen we're gonna point you downhill which is stupid and we're going to push you down carefully and we're going to park you we're gonna whoa we're gonna park him over here next to this jesus christ i'm out of practice driving dreamy off piste on these dodgy roads i haven't done that for a long time and i just don't have the skill to get up there unfortunately anyway look where look at this thing this is just like this is not part of the waterfall this is just where i kind of noticed as i was um figuring out where to park dreamy oh there's massive ants wow they're huge and i wonder if this is some sort of uh jungle experience that people used to have to pay money to come and do like a zip line or a canopy walk that's been long overgrown and forgotten about should we go have a look because i want to have a look oh the jungle is climbing this one back please no spiders okay oh look there's like a little staircase and they've got potted plants and it leads up to some sheds i don't know what was that what's up here oh look you see that's what i was afraid of when i was on that bridge the rotten wood there's a motorbike here i don't know what this place used to be there's like a noose a bit worrying but you can see behind me there's a coffee sign you see that so i think this place used to be a coffee shop you know back in the day and then can you see the cool coconut things above me like christmas tinsel but made out of coconut shells stitched together and here's the instagram spot you know the swing and there is a bit of a view out there but it's obstructed now by these plants and look at these little fellas hello it's quite beautiful i mean look the archways and then there seems to be fruit growing off these like they look like raspberries but they're a little bit they're a little bit squished and different than a raspberry that we would know and again look a seat where people used to sit and take instagram shots in the distance and it seems to me that this area is now used for growing veggies the only thing i can see sign of human life now is some tarps thrown over bushes that they're trying to grow and farm some sort of fruit sauce food source i don't know keep going past all these beautiful colors and down there's main am the north shore facing copenhagen in the distance oh look at that there's a tree house cafe kind of thing whoa wow oh it's got a name it's got a sign trees tree bridge coffee wow maybe this will lead around to that cafe wow that's beautiful anyway let's see if we can go find that waterfall the trail to the waterfall is kind of like there's like a tree it's overgrown and then i went up a little bit more there was like a million mosquitoes all over me and i've got spray on big ones so i just don't think i'll be able to get to have a look at it plus as you can see this is what you can't see but this is all overgrown but there's a stream or a bed of a stream along this path behind me here and alongside there's absolutely no water whatsoever can't even hear a drop so i could keep pushing get through the aussies and get through the jungle and stuff but there ain't anything here look at the size of these guys this is kind of a wild part of samui look at those things they're like blue color yeah they're shining blue in the sky in the sunlight i should say and uh just massive mozzies everywhere so i'm not gonna be able to make that waterfall well we're on the top of samui now that was a steep road up from the waterfall this is kind of the roof of samui i just want to stop here look at the size of these things look at these huge things i think they're little yellow and fuzzy stamens and beautiful and uh we've got durian growing here i think they've harvested the durian this time of year i think the season's finished big bunch of bananas all of the roof of samui is quite a pristine tranquil well-maintained farming area basically if you come up here apart from the odd like atv tours and the odd mystical garden stone wall whatever attractions they're they're sprinkled on the mountains but basically it's mainly just roads just like this that just drive through private property and private farm yards and these beautiful trees and there's something interesting growing on those bushes on that big tree i should say i don't know what the hell that is i've never seen that before like a big pod of peas or something but they're ginormous this is actually a viewpoint there's a sign that says the viewpoint but um yeah not anymore nothing here it's very quiet very peaceful it's nice to come up here and get the cool breeze and just kind of relax you know and have a drive and get lost and find cool things and the good thing about being up the top of here is there is no mozzies a bit further down in that jungle it was like a swamp infested but up here nice cool mountain breeze just a few dragonflies flying around as you can see beautiful so wow this is a really fantastic view wow this is incredible i can see everything i can see sail rock in the distance where we went fishing i went fishing like last week here's some drone footage of it actually we didn't take our cameras we just went fishing again and we spent all day i thought i caught a massive eel it was amazing but yeah we were out by that that rock and they're super super super far distance and then that little sticky outy part that's the north east of the island and kind of where where i'm living at the moment and then obviously copenhagen and the northern beaches of maine oh look there's a moth hello hello hello hello hello moth hello little moth oh oh oh he's on the green beans anyway my belly is rumbling dreamy let's go unfortunately it is closed it's closed um i just spoke to the owners they said i can have a little look around they said it's a nice garden and because of covered and there's no customers and nobody gets up here that you know it was a two hour bumpy road an adventure to get here so they mustn't get many foot traffic so what's this zucchini thai zucchini look at the size of it a big thing and they're all just thank you they're all just hanging hanging underneath these vines underneath this thing and uh there's a massive little cat here hello is it bubble why are you such a bubble you like any bone scratch yeah she's like don't stop please don't stop oh geez okay cat be careful i'm i'm trying to make a video are you okay hey living with all these noisy dogs she loves it but uh this one's a bit rotten look i don't think i'll be eating that one but massive oh you got to be careful i'm going to stand on you um look what happens i walk in front you want to come with me hmm you want to come vlog with me make a video for me and um okay you're oh okay fine we want your belly run fine but then will you leave me alone she's big isn't she look at the size of her oh i don't understand cats you do weird things okay okay i have to go i have to go i have to go i have to go oh don't bite me i've been giving you scratches it is beautiful i must say i can see why you guys recommended me to come down here or up here i should say ah i'm just kidding i'm not gonna drink look at these massive leaves oh oh i'm sorry you scared the crap out of me i didn't see you there hello hmm god i don't know what that was i thought it was a massive cat again look at these furry little testicle things what are you furry little thingies oh these ones are orange very cool i have no idea what they are i have no idea what most things are if you've probably watched most of these videos on this channel oh my god look at this don't know what it is but you guys always let me know in the comments like last time i'm from england yeah so this used to be a restaurant uh yeah restaurant and our cooking class yeah so we used to smoke fish here why oh the dog's in there let's smoke the dog oh wow everywhere you look there's berries and flowers and all sorts of goodies thanks mate you're welcome this is cool so he just was like look we're not open have a look around so obviously we got harassed by the cat and then with a little look around but he um he's given me a red banana this is a special species of banana that he's growing here and um he also gave me some passion fruits look at these passion fruits they look incredible don't they um and he's peeled one of these bananas for me look at the fatness look at it it's like a big chode isn't it and i'm starving so that was going to be well received and it tastes delicious it's such a shame isn't it that these people up here in the mountains used to have a decent business and you know behind me he's got pizza oven he's got fire pit smoker another kind of grill outdoors lots of little tables like this you know dotted around all the beautiful flowers and amongst the trees in the forest you know got three dogs three cats and he's still kind enough to give me free fruit you've got to love thai people haven't you we're so resilient so patient you know what i think i'm going to end the video here because i'm going to finish this banana and then i'm going to drive back home i've got muay thai i hope you enjoyed our little adventure day up the mountain into the highlands of koh samui back on dreamy and um stay tuned next week we have the fight the live stream of the charity boxing thank you to everyone who's donated we've raised over 10 000 us dollars which is insane so thank you so much if you've donated if you haven't or you can't don't worry just watch the
