The second half the Bikers travel to Northern Thailand where they visit Chiang Mai (aided by K. Ann's excellent culinary knowledge), then go elephant riding / communing in Mae Taeng / Mae Taman.
Finally they head to a picturesque tribal mountain village (Lisu), Ban Na Lao Mai in Chiang Dao. Lisu locals Alema, Nata (blink and you'll miss him), Sam, Sam's Wife, all feature. Wicha from Chiang Dao Nest ( www.chiangdaone... ) also appears briefly in the Lisu village segment.
Pretty much all of the footage of the bikers riding on mountainous / forested roads was filmed in the Chiang Dao area. This is dotted about throughout the program.
Unfortunately a part where the Bikers are filmed emerging from their cabins and enjoying a rice soup breakfast at Chiang Dao Nest 2 (where they stayed) didn't make it into the final edit. Oh well, maybe it'll appear in the directors cut!
(The first half of this episode sees the bikers head to Southern Thailand beaches in Phuket with K. Mom Tri, and then onto Koh Yao Noi.)
