You'll find a lot of little shops in villages have fuel. It's usually in old glass oil bottles. It's perfectly safe. Filled up like that hundreds of times. For food in rural areas, look for a tin shed with a grill and a few tables. Usually the best food you will get all trip. Again, I'm begging you, stop eating convenience store food. There's so many great restaurants, even in the tiniest of villages.
@ontheroadadventure Actually, I'm surprised you haven't been invited for dinner by a local in those rural areas. If they offer, do it. It'll usually be the highlight of the trip. You'll probably end up being offered to stay. I've been invited home for dinner half a dozen times. They are just keen to find out more about you. If they do, leave them a generous financial gift. It's nothing to us and everything to them. ❤️
Enjoying the vids, have i missed the episode that explains y no plates? I know in the past dealers were running out of temporary red plates, but the boys in brown don't like no plates. 1 very good advise I can give you, park your bikes in a shade at every stop, that temperature in your seat cannot escape once u sit on it, and it will increase ur body temperature. I even park by the pillars between pumps if no other shade available. Also don't worry about parking outside ur room, work out where the sun comes up and work out where the shade will be when it rises, that way u start your morning on a cool seat
Rich & Ewa. So, your gastronomic “Russian roulette” continues! Really looking forward to the episode when you stumble across a truly delicious meal…! Looks like I’ll have to wait a while for that episode! Makes me very grateful that I have a spare Ginsters pastie squirrelled away at the bottom of the fridge!! Another great video. Just what we need in the West Midlands where it’s wet, dark, miserable….and forecast for a light dusting of snow! ❤🩷
Opened the curtains to about 3 inches of snow covering everything this morning, you two deffo ain't missing anything being in Thailand, an entertaining watch, big thanks
Since mentioning Mad dogs and Englishmen, the songs been going around in my head. Not heard it for years. Was sung by Noel Coward and found it on TH-cam. You need to listen to the words, very appropriate for your Adventure. You never fail to keep us entertained with your exploits. 😂
I'm not sure it originates with that song though. I think it dates back to colonial India. But it's true; in most hot countries, even places like Spain, locals sleep in the middle of the day while British tourists are out sunning themselves.
Ewa seriously likes that bike. You look like you lost weight rich! Most 2 strokes have an oil tank and autolube so no messing with mixing oil and petrol
i love watching your Thai travels, I've been going since 1966 and I still can't get on with most of the food. See those lovely roads you like? well they were predominantly dirt till well into the nineties, trail bikes or 4x4s were the order of the day. Anyway, enjoy, chok dee cap.
I thought our local KFC was pretty dire but now I know what it's been modelled on! This tour is amazing and lovely to see the sun especially as we have snow outside.
That's great glad you're enjoying the bikes, I had an Enfield Bullet back in 2001, I'd swear that it did 80 mpg. Thank you both for keeping me entertained on a wet N ovember's evening in the UK, many thanks.
Regarding two stroke mix, in Europe it’s been mainly autolube since the late 90’s, so you have a 2 stroke oil tank and separate petrol tank. The autolube pump gadget mixes it for you. Even proper enduro bikes like KTM use that system nowadays although they are fuel injected now. Ride safe guys👍🏼
@@ontheroadadventure You wouldn't like the costs, nearly £30 p/litre in uk esso garage mobil 1 fully synthetic racing 2T,.! and in april 2022 it was £27.99,.
I love the fact that you are enjoying the E/R Super Meteor 650. I brought myself one back in April of this year, and it's the same red and white, as you are riding, and I love it. It's a bit different from my usual ride. A Yamaha FJR 1300ea. I am still riding and enjoying that motorcycle. Thumbs 👍
(10:07) not two strokes, but winter fuel mixes, based on temps & fuel additives, so the fuel does not separate, and clog the fuel lines, since you guys don't ride in the winter months. we add, dry gas, to our fuels of sea form additives, to help with water content in the gas.
(17:34) what's nice about our sleep number beds, every room in the house, has one (4 bedrooms) and the Coach bus, has one in the master, but the pull-out couch bed, is not set up with one yet.
Mad Dogs and Englishmen" is a song written by Noël Coward and first performed in The Third Little Show at the Music Box Theatre, New York, on 1 June 1931, by Beatrice Lillie. The following year it was used in the revue Words and Music and also released in a "studio version". 😊❤
Roundabouts are funny in Thailand, the people not on the roundabout have priority, which is super weird for us from the UK. But I still love it, everyone is super friendly, never had road rage in Thailand but in the UK it is a daily occurrence - not sure what people are smoking here LOL
Great video, we chuckled at you sitting on the wooden mattress, softest bed we ever found is in Austia. Louise described it as being like a cloud. You guys seem to have acclimatised brilliantly
I must say! What fantastic accommodation for so little money in those Hotels 😳 probably around the £125 a night mark here 🤔 although the mattress would give me back ache 😂😂 bit puzzled about the KFC though, thought all country’s had to follow strict guide lines on the way it was cooked and presented????? That road sign immediately made me think of some poor blind person , walking along unknowingly that he/she was about to be cloths lined 😂😂 great footage guys as always 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Im really loving your Thailand tour, reminds me of when i first turned up in Thailand 20 years ago. Lotus used to be Tesco Lotus and changed it's name to Lotus a couple of years ago.
@@ontheroadadventureTops supermarkets sometimes have a deli counters and possibility some Makro outlets, but only the bigger ones that you find in major cities. Tops supermarkets are usually within Robinson malls. It'll be ££££ though😅
we spent few years in Far East and I will never forget the first evening: we went to the restaurant and everything was in Chinese (Taiwan). But, their menu is not only written but also with pictures. Then it came to cutleries - of course only chop sticks. This is how it started and lasted for few years. These were one of the best years in our lives. I am not sure what we were eating - who cares as long as we were ok. But yes, it requires one to be open minded. Lots of good memories from there (other countries there as well). You will be recalling your trip for ages - you will always laugh and be happy about this trip. Make as much as possible out of it - time passes too fast! Ciao
Warning about retiring in Thailand, your State Pensions doesn't increase as there's no reciprocal arrangement with the UK. Go to the Philippines if you rely on your State pension. Glad you liked my reference to Noël Coward's song *"Mad Dogs and Englishmen."* I was always told that the phrase _"Only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun"_ was coined by Rudyard Kipling who was born in Bombay, though this may not be the case. Glad to hear you've acclimatised. It used to take me about 3-4 days after I had been back to the UK. Wait till you get to the humid jungle areas... 🤣🤣🤣 Though, Bangkok is quite humid... You need _mosy coils_ for the mosquitos and flies. Due to sweating, try not to use much sugar (you won't feel so sticky) and to _slightly_ increase the amount of salt you use, especially if you start to get muscle cramps.
Great to watch your adventures with food too. Thanks Richard to confirm me thoughts of going there as a no no because of the food I think I’m worse then you rich Did you rent the bikes or holiday loan from royal enfield ?? Keep the adventures good and your good work of showing the really place not just tourism sites
Rich, please say Sawat Dee KRAP as you are greeting Thai people. Krap is the polite form of greeting for men. It is Sawat Dee KAA for women. Looking forward to the next episode of your bike trip. Thanks a lot. 👍 Enjoy and be safe on the road.
@@ontheroadadventure I hope you don't mind me telling you the correct form of greeting people. Thai people never only say Sawat DEE without using the polite form Krap for a man speaking or Kaa for a woman speaking. Oh, btw try to order fried rice - not spicy! Khao pad is fried rice. Khao pad gai is fried rice with chicken. Give it a try at a small rural restaurant. It's jummy 😋
The one and only time i got selmanellor food poison was KFC Pattaya 2006 but thai pain killers are awsome though i was soo spaced out took 3days to recover it was the little chicking balls that were under cooked.
Really enjoying your adventures in Thailand, although I’m not sure, (in fact I’m certain!) I’d not be as adventurous when it comes to food and drink. The weather looks great and it’s so beautiful. It’s just snowed here in the UK!
In hot sun you get a small white towel, tuck down in between the front of the seat and under the seat strap. It grips and keeps the seat cool and stops you burning your inner thighs on the black seat.
@@ontheroadadventure I spent a lot of years overseas and some years with 26 week no rain days and 40°c + days. Towels on our seats were an every day thing for European's
Hi guys, we love this journey you are on including the food challenges that you go through (understatement!) Would you have a RE interceptor at home to go with your Africa Twins? Enjoy the roads and avoid elephants if you can 😂😂 cheers. Andy & Lyn.
When are you guys planning to return to Blighty? It would be nice before you leave to show everyone the route you have taken in Thailand from start to finish 👍
HI THERE , Listen you to, stop, and find a Thai who speaks English, tell the person what food you like and how you like it cooked . they will give you some ideas on what & how to ask street vendors who make bloody good food. Rich be more adventurous on the food side. Stop going to 7/11 its just crap packaged food. Fruits are good for energy, YOU two crack me up, great Videos , Thailand is a great place to explore. Keep me Laughing, cheers enjoy
was the road with the elephant on the centre resivation a trunk road 🤣🤣 i thought that Kfc in the uk was rank but it looks amazing compared to Kfc Thailand 👍
Today I just have to give you my thumb up just as I begin watching your presentation. You two are so loveable. You guys really are excellent at including your viewers in your adventure with the way you talk to us as if we are actually present and the three of us are visiting. I think you get my drift. Also, Ewa, you have such lovely eyes full of good cheer. As for Rich, he is that mad dog Englishman, I know it. I can tell from looking at his eyes. There is madness. Good madness. There's some madness coming at you from Alberta where it is becoming increasingly colder as we head into a late winter. My bike is under cover with stabilizer in the tank. It will have to sit there for the next five months, or so. Is there someway you can do a portal or something so I can climb through my screen and join you in the warm sunshine? If only, eh? Ride safe, you guys. Big hugs coming at you from Red Deer.
Strange, KFC is normally pretty good in Thailand, well cooked and not oily. One thing you should try is charcoal BBQd salted whole fish, usually a tabtim (talipa) fish. Quite often seen at the local night markets and really delicious with a chilled beer. Are you guys headed for Hua Hin and Prachuap Khiri Khan?
When you are in Thailand you want too stay there's don't want too go back too the UK don't let youre keys inside the bikes there the make whiskey from rice snakes taste like chicken is like in the south you will see many palm oil farms a waste walking four 5 days through the jungle in the north with 6 people and see the villages in the mountains and sleep there and the see the golden triangle the border with Burma and see the Karin and the longneks you are walking through rivers and pools and bloodsukers the are in the water waiting four french blood always check your lecks after going through water pools
Those things are lycee fruit the are crowing on threes my father hef them in his garden you hef too try those is like rambutan both the are the same size but red with spikes the are zweet
They cook the chicken wel only the differents is that they use real chicken without to much growing hormones and antibiotica thats why the color is different (here in the caribean kfc is the same we use diffrent chicken than europe. Like when we fry up 100 gram chicken we ending wit 94 grams of chicken. Instead of the water injected stuff in the us and europ)
I hate kfc in uk or thailand, the only thing i do like is the ice cream on offer in the thai kfc's, i dont know about pizza hut, but i can highly recomend pizza company, exelent menu and fair prices, your buying inedible grub and leaving half or most of it, "buy cheap pay twice",. Have a look at the suspension on those beafed up pickups, in uk their rated to carry a ton approx, thais must put at least 2/3 ton + on theirs, they have truck springs and helper springs and usually 6 shock absorbers and heavy duty wheels and tyres,. Another thing thats great in thailand is the lack of police presence out on the roads, they ocasionaly have speed traps and check points, also speed cameras on busy fast routes, but if you get knicked its a few hundred bht and jobs jobed,. Not seen you sample the coconut water (green top) yet in 7/11 those creamy tasting bags/tubs of dennis the menace hazlenuts are addictive,. cheers,.
All the fast food taste different is all real Mac burgerking Domino's and KFC every country you go it's taste different the Thai like pork like the Chinese and chicken good beef or a good steak is hard to find see those skinny cows al the beef is imported you can see a good steak in the big city's the Scottish steakhouse there
Eww man, the food to me is hell 😂 stick to pizzas chips veggie stuff if poss but I imagine u have no choice,,, Nice digs though,,, Anyway stay safe and go for it 👍👍 Biker to biker
if sun is the true source of light then how come you human slaves can only look at the sun during sunset times as if the sun burns with less intensity but that can't be because sunset at one location is morning afternoon evening sun else where ? if sun is the true source of heat & light then how come it gets darker & colder the more you rise in altitude instead it should get brighter & warmer because you would be getting closer to the sun ? if sun is the true source of heat then if the sun moving few degrees north & south become the difference between summers & winters then why winter days are colder in the presence of the sun while summer nights are warmer in the absence of the sun ? if sun is the true source of heat and the earth is tilted on it's axis then how come summers in the arctic & antarctic regions are far colder than the tropical regions if the arctic & antarctic regions are facing the sun during their summers ?
Are you pair kidding me, driving around trying to find food? There are little stalls on streets n roads, theres a food court in every mall and every supermarket. You're never more than 5mins from noodles. You need to be more adventurous. Try Papiawan Gai (sweet n sour chicken) Khaphoa Gai or moo (spicey) Say "ped nit noy" and they will cook with less chilli Khoa Pad (fried rice) Gai (chicken), moo (pork) Lad na (big thick noodles) The food in Thailand is most expats 2nd biggest love of living there

The "Virago" is definitely not a Virago.. That size it would probably be a 535 XV.. And most 535's have a driveshaft..
No I was doubting it too, possible a Kawasaki
You're such a dietary whimp :) , good thing your better half is with you !
Your not wrong 😂
was the road with the elephant on the centre resivation a trunk road 🤣🤣
i thought that Kfc in the uk was rank but it looks amazing compared to Kfc Thailand 👍
Yes a trunk road! 😂😂
Today I just have to give you my thumb up just as I begin watching your presentation. You two are so loveable. You guys really are excellent at including your viewers in your adventure with the way you talk to us as if we are actually present and the three of us are visiting. I think you get my drift. Also, Ewa, you have such lovely eyes full of good cheer. As for Rich, he is that mad dog Englishman, I know it. I can tell from looking at his eyes. There is madness. Good madness. There's some madness coming at you from Alberta where it is becoming increasingly colder as we head into a late winter. My bike is under cover with stabilizer in the tank. It will have to sit there for the next five months, or so. Is there someway you can do a portal or something so I can climb through my screen and join you in the warm sunshine? If only, eh? Ride safe, you guys. Big hugs coming at you from Red Deer.
Well hopefully we can keep you warmly entertained through your winter months. Great to have you with us
Strange, KFC is normally pretty good in Thailand, well cooked and not oily. One thing you should try is charcoal BBQd salted whole fish, usually a tabtim (talipa) fish. Quite often seen at the local night markets and really delicious with a chilled beer. Are you guys headed for Hua Hin and Prachuap Khiri Khan?
We have been to Hua Hin already you’ll see very soon 👍
@@ontheroadadventure Great, I'll be there Dec 13th. Follow the coastal/beach roads going south, lots of great places.
@@ontheroadadventure Oh BTW if/when you are heading back north consider a visit to Baan Song Nook, just north of HH.
Sounds like a good plan
Thanks we will look it up
When you are in Thailand you want too stay there's don't want too go back too the UK don't let youre keys inside the bikes there the make whiskey from rice snakes taste like chicken is like in the south you will see many palm oil farms a waste walking four 5 days through the jungle in the north with 6 people and see the villages in the mountains and sleep there and the see the golden triangle the border with Burma and see the Karin and the longneks you are walking through rivers and pools and bloodsukers the are in the water waiting four french blood always check your lecks after going through water pools
Cheers but we won’t be walking through jungles 👍
I think that you should research "Flanders and Swan" for "Mad dogs and English men ... " 😅
Yup we found it today
Those things are lycee fruit the are crowing on threes my father hef them in his garden you hef too try those is like rambutan both the are the same size but red with spikes the are zweet
We tried some made into juice, not too bad
They cook the chicken wel only the differents is that they use real chicken without to much growing hormones and antibiotica thats why the color is different (here in the caribean kfc is the same we use diffrent chicken than europe. Like when we fry up 100 gram chicken we ending wit 94 grams of chicken. Instead of the water injected stuff in the us and europ)
Who knows what we are being fed half the time!
@@ontheroadadventure haha tru. Thailands famous mistery foods. But its a great experience
Exactly right, it’s the overall experience we remember in years to come
I hate kfc in uk or thailand, the only thing i do like is the ice cream on offer in the thai kfc's, i dont know about pizza hut, but i can highly recomend pizza company, exelent menu and fair prices, your buying inedible grub and leaving half or most of it, "buy cheap pay twice",. Have a look at the suspension on those beafed up pickups, in uk their rated to carry a ton approx, thais must put at least 2/3 ton + on theirs, they have truck springs and helper springs and usually 6 shock absorbers and heavy duty wheels and tyres,. Another thing thats great in thailand is the lack of police presence out on the roads, they ocasionaly have speed traps and check points, also speed cameras on busy fast routes, but if you get knicked its a few hundred bht and jobs jobed,. Not seen you sample the coconut water (green top) yet in 7/11 those creamy tasting bags/tubs of dennis the menace hazlenuts are addictive,. cheers,.
Oh ok we will look for it in 7-11 and try then 👍 Yes very rare to see police and those truck guys are crazy with what they stack up on board!
Sunny again? You not bored of that yet 😂
Not yet!
The food situation looks dire I'm such a fussy eater I'm not sure I would survive a 2 week tour
It is hard I can tell you 😂
Beanz doesn't mean heinz then?
Ride safe 👍
Not always it seems!
ive only just watched you both for 45 minutes today, now whats happened?????? lol
Are you hooked yet?
@@ontheroadadventure of course, love the bikes btw..........eat more local food for christ sake, its delicious
We will see what we can find
Would av been pizza deffo that was not chicken 🤣🤣🤣🤣
We wish we had now..
That wil be spice KFC but verry cheaper than in Europe you think you are eating chicken
God only knows what that is but it is horrid
(10:59) well, that's a true statement, Awe, most guys bags hang on the right. (Did, she blush yet? (demonetized)
😆
The best travel review on Thailand ever !
Cheers!
I wonder what is the first thing you're going to eat when back home 😂
Simple roasted potatoes in the air fryer with a bit of oil and lots of herbs 👌
@@ontheroadadventure sounds simple but delicious
Simple is often best! Ewa makes amazing Turkish Eggs with Chorizo and sour dough bread! i miss that one!!
@@ontheroadadventure ooooh getting hungry, when you're back home it all tastes extra special
Won’t be for a while yet!
Hello

Noodles m8,can;t go wrong.
Plain ones 😂
Fab
Cheers man 👍
(00:53) bugs, snakes, chicken feet.
On repeat…
I don't know about you, but I would have parked my arse, at the DQ, and ate ice cream all night.
It is hard not to eat crap here the whole time
All the fast food taste different is all real Mac burgerking Domino's and KFC every country you go it's taste different the Thai like pork like the Chinese and chicken good beef or a good steak is hard to find see those skinny cows al the beef is imported you can see a good steak in the big city's the Scottish steakhouse there
Yes we are finding this out… things you think are a safe bet often are not as they are at home
Raw meat won't kill you.
That’s good then!
Did you get this off a local tombstone?
LOL
How many times?????

Thanks bud, yeah options are often slim!
Hey guys, nice one, they eat dog there don't they lol
What’s funny about that
They eat everything here!
Poor doggos
if sun is the true source of light then how come you human slaves can only look at the sun during sunset times as if the sun burns with less intensity but that can't be because sunset at one location is morning afternoon evening sun else where ?
if sun is the true source of heat & light then how come it gets darker & colder the more you rise in altitude instead it should get brighter & warmer because you would be getting closer to the sun ?
if sun is the true source of heat then if the sun moving few degrees north & south become the difference between summers & winters then why winter days are colder in the presence of the sun while summer nights are warmer in the absence of the sun ?
if sun is the true source of heat and the earth is tilted on it's axis then how come summers in the arctic & antarctic regions are far colder than the tropical regions if the arctic & antarctic regions are facing the sun during their summers ?
We hope you find the answers you’re looking for!
@@ontheroadadventure we enjoy & admire your inspiring videos
please continue
Thanks so much for Joining us
Are you pair kidding me, driving around trying to find food? There are little stalls on streets n roads, theres a food court in every mall and every supermarket. You're never more than 5mins from noodles. You need to be more adventurous.
Try
Papiawan Gai (sweet n sour chicken)
Khaphoa Gai or moo (spicey)
Say "ped nit noy" and they will cook with less chilli
Khoa Pad (fried rice) Gai (chicken), moo (pork)
Lad na (big thick noodles)
The food in Thailand is most expats 2nd biggest love of living there
We have found some real gems, but some real rubbish too! It’s a lottery!
