To us this is just the worst. We put so much effort and and everything we have financially into making these videos and so to come all the way here and lose the drone so early on is just a disaster. People love it so much as do we 😞.
I’ve noticed this happens quite a few times on this channel. The title and text on the thumbnail say something like “Disaster!!”, or “This is the end!!”, “That’s it, we’re quitting!!” And then the video is nothing of the sort. I’m sorry but it is just a clickbait effort to try and get views, and it will turn people off.
@@peakrider4886 Sorry to agree but yes you've over played the drone incident to the point of it smacking of clickbait, you don't need to go down that road, your videos are entertaining enough to bring viewers in.
What a shame that you felt that you had to resort to such crass overstatement - if you were to be kidnapped by the local Padong tribe and disembowelled with a blunt spoon, you can then claim to be gutted. You've lost your toy helicopter, so buy another one - they must be cheap out there.
It cracks me up, your comments on the food and the faces pulled. I'm like you Rich, I wouldn't be too adventurous looking at some of those stalls. Glad you found the restaurant. Shame about the drone; never mind, you're still able to have a great adventure that you can take us along with you.
Awesome video Rich & Ewa, thanks for sharing this awesome trip! PS I think Rich needs to do a complete food tour around Asia to get used to some things. 😁👍
I would be gutted about the drone too. Just make thats the only thing that gets damaged. I’m so glad you’re enjoying the Royal Enfields. You’re both becoming TH-cam stars and why not. You make a great team! Hopefully we will meet one day. Ride safe 😊
Rich I’ve only just got used to the heat living in Alabama for 7 years, we’ve had almost 3 solid months of 95 to 100f (37c) with 80% humidity, coming from the UK it’s been brutal, riding in full gear in that type of heat absolutely drains you. We are now in November and it’s a nice 75f (23c) with full sun, great riding weather! 👍🏻 keep safe out there both!
crazy isn’t it, spent years of my life riding in the UK in the cold and rain, then when you are faced with real heat and humidity it’s brutal, actually harder to ride in than most weather conditions, hydration is the key, when you think you’ve drunk enough to burst, drink some more. 😂
As i have lived in Thailand for 7 years now i found your reaction to things very amusing to watch and will follow your journeys, however it would be helpful if you mentioned exactly where you are on your travels!
we have spent few years in Far East and the most funny part was: you eat what they bring you - and all of that was so good. Of course: you need to be open minded. Of course expecting English breakfast in the middle of Thailand might bring some frustrations but ok, Rich has to show ;-) I was not surpised seeing Ewa eating everything - different blood ;-)
Great video! Your adventures look like so much fun! Enjoy Thailand it is amazing. I think you will prefer Chiang Mai - we are heading there in 3 weeks to escape the London winter and will be hiring big bikes to go on some adventures
Wait until you get to mid north of Thailand and onwards the roads just get better and better. Loved riding in north Thailand. Try and do she Mae hon son loop.
Best to pilot a crashed drone than pilot a crashed drone😂. Great series. The petrol attendants remind me of my dad’s petrol station/garage in Birmingham in the 60s. Uniformed attendant served fuel. Had a little kiosk, was a funny little old retired guy that loved his job. Check tyres and oil and screenwash with such enthusiasm
Rich your face was classic with the chilli 🌶️, Sorry to hear about the drone, Thailand is very resourceful maybe someone can fix it for you. Finally got a decent meal great episode
Great blog guys sorry to hear about drone but it’s small part of it Hope you can get it fixed there or when you get home I couldn’t go out and eat there that why I couldn’t go there Good on rich to take it all on Enjoy your adventures and can’t wait for next ones
You Rich make me laugh 😅 l love Tie food have a good green curry with rice 🍚 ! Love your videos & the Royal Enfieldes . My best wishes to you from the Philippines ❤️💋🌹👍😉😀😁🏁🛺🏍️🐑🇵🇭🏴⭐
Thats the key to getting good hot fresh food, if you can see them make it for you on the grill you know you are getting it at its best and not just reheated for example or cooked some time ago. Food in Thailand from our experience was a bit of a lottery
Yes, and it’s because of the British… I believe queen Victoria gave one of the first motorcars to Thailand and in honour they decided to drive the same side as the uk
Come on you two dive in … we are over protective back home and those street vendors do lovely food ..best tip go to the stalls with queues … if the locals are prepared to wait in line you know the food is going to be good .. loving the journey ..safe riding
I love this trip with you guys, poor drone. Never mind, at least you found some food for poor Rich . Take care, guys, and I'm looking forward to seeing the next one
I can appreciate how difficult it can be when you’re traveling in a completely different country/ culture/ heatwave etc . Especially if you haven’t been nourished properly.
Lovely video. Just a couple of things. We live in Chiang Mai. I really like heading out on my PCX at 7 in the morning. The kids are going to school just yet, people aren't going to work so much and it is not so hot. This may sound a bit strange but I find that there is a bit of a quiet spot in the traffic at about 9.15 and 9.30 as the early morning commuters are now at work. When Thai food is too spicy I get hiccups. However, my wife claims that really spicy food can be like a drug as it can feel like it is "clearing" your brain. This may or may not be true, I just pass on what she said. I have never ridden in Europe, so I do not know the situation. However, big bikes are really expensive here in Thailand. So if you see someone on a big bike, you know that they have money. However, a nice Vespa is not cheap. You see them about, but they seem to be a fair bit more expensive than other "scooters". However, I love the idea of loading up a Vespa and traveling across the world. Our motto would be "Not too far and not too fast." All the best and keep up the good work.
Thanks so much, we noticed just how much attention our bikes get when we stop somewhere, in the uk the royal enfields are budget bikes, here they are very premium indeed
I would of thought doing all these tours rich, you would be more open to trying new food, ewa has definitely brought out a brilliant side to you, ride safe guys and enjoy it
I was riding all over Vietnan in 1993 and have lived and ridden all over southeast Asia since really tough hard riding back in those days no place for TH-cam Tourists then.
So sorry about your drone, hopefully it can get fixed. Just wanted to ask you about your motorbikes not having the number plates at all, why is that? All other cars and bikes seem to have white ones at the back
Thanks, we will try to repair it but no luck so far. The bikes belong to Royal Enfield and are press bikes and we are told they are therefore not registered privately so don’t need plates 🤷♂️ We were confused too but RE assure us it’s fine
Should of packed some Army rations Rich😁loving the street food options, your face is to die for buddy. Thankfully you were saved in the restaurant Rich - food looked great.
With you all the way on the food Rich !!! Think I’d lose a shit load of weight if I went there 👍🏼😂😂 gutted for you on the Drone though😵💫 was some great footage till that happened! Hope you have some luck in sorting it 👍🏼
Yeah this is the winter diet plan! I’ve had a go to fix the drone but no joy, I don’t think I can do anything about it until we return home and can send it away
Great stream so funny . This is your best trip so far . Rich you have to try more different foods mate . You would enjoy your trip even more lol. But I agree that most meats have to be treated with respect so i get it lol . Love to both stay safe 👍👍👍❤
Sorry about your drone. Thankfully, you had the intelligence to get it insured. On a much lighter note, Rich, you made me laugh walking through them food markets, but I get where you're coming from fella, raw or cooked meat in them temperatures I wouldn't have risked it either, especially as the food wasn't under a heated source to keep the bacteria away, and the raw meat wasn't refrigerated. It was as always, great to see you guys doing what you both do best 👌 Thanks for sharing, and see you both on your next adventure 👊 🤙 🤘
Ewa's face knowing she's filming YT Gold!😅😂😂 Papaya Salad. Change your life! It's not available commonly in Aus but the Thai are proud of it. The ghekkos are cool, the bikes are cooler. Loving them. Great series so far. Well done, and I'm glad you're having fun!
Don't worry about the drone mate, we're just here for the personalities... and of course the upcoming durian scene. You will be trying the durian, won't you? It's a local delicacy.
Don’t listen to the haters! Love the video, thumbnail is accurate to the situation and I think it is a disaster that you lost your drone, it is quite serious
It certainly is for us! We are not just sad about the value of it but because we know how people like to watch the drone shots, we really want to show people places in the best way possible. Thanks so much for your continued support and being with us on the road 👍
It’s a big no from me on the bugs pick a mix 😱 😂 Shame about the drone, but that’s only a small part of the footage. Can’t help laughing at the faces Rich pulls looking at the various meaty offerings, as for cheese popcorn….ummmmmm. Did the RE guy show you the USB charging plug under the left hand side panel? Just in case you weren’t aware…
Gutted about the drone but if it’s any consolation I’ve done the same myself and writ mine off 😊 I don’t know how u are coping with the food /bugs situation mate, it’s the one thing that gives me the creeps and worries me for our up coming trip. Despite the drone mishap… another excellent clip and a long one too 😊👍 I appreciate the work that goes into one of these uploads so thank you. We are Sad to hear that the red dress was left behind in the last hotel, my girlfriend was just commenting on how well ur lady looked etc. Stay safe out there guys looking forward to the next one 👍😊
So guys, how do you like or dislike the Royal Enfield 650s in comparison to the 400 Triumphs...? Are they to be compared or are they in a league of their own due to the 250Cc more...? I used to own a 1983 Yamaha XS650, which is a fantastic motorcycle, but so incredible slow. It does force you to slow down and enjoy the ride at slow speeds, which is better for your driver's license and your bank account to begin with...;-) To eat: in countries like this avoid eating meat and avoid drinking local water at all times. How about some noodles and vegetables, maybe slightly seasoned...? That should be doable... It is going to be a challenge to get something to eat, which is not a threat to your health. For me personally, another reason not to go to countries like this, since eating is something to should be able to do without any risks... and let's face it: eating is something one does at least 3 times a day and that should not be 3 times a day trying to avoid a potential hazards foods... And spicy foods: remember, they will always be spicy twice... entering your body and leaving your body. And on a motorcycle you will be sitting on the burning exit which had to deal with spicy foods that morning... My advice would be: leave the spicy foods for what they are and eat milder foods. Your exit will thank you for it ;-)
I'm quite lucky with food. I can just about eat anything and seem to have a cast iron stomach. Although this might get me flamed, I'm not keen on cheese on toast, but if I'm hungry, I'll eat it. Roads look mental but kind of fun. 😊 well done, guys.
Rich & Ewa. I appreciate Thailand is exotic…..but you think you’d at least be able to get a large chunk of Cathedral City or Pilgrims Choice, a few strong pickled onions and a wedge of pork pie? It’s not much to ask for……!!🤭 Hats off to Ewa for trying the local delicacies!! A great episode! Keep it up!
Bangkok city has the hottest *_average_* city temperature in the world. Think about in the past when there was no air conditioning, just fans. How did everyone cope? Easy, they acclimatised. If you want to acclimatise, you need to stay out of air conditioned spaces as much as possible. Oh, and _"Mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun."_ Plan your days so that you are in the shade (not the air-con) between about midday and 4 pm (ish). Oh, how do I know? I used to go for a 5 km run everyday in Malaysia at 4.30 pm everyday. Also,we didn't have air-con when we lived in Bangkok... Final thought while you are riding, Buddhists believe in reincarnation. The Thai driving/riding style reflects this...
Rich: I'm proud of you. finally a decent meal!! And ewa: hot food gives you 2 x fun! the first time of eating and and second time on the toilet 😉 and the gecko's are so cute. They make a special sound .Maybe you hear that
You really need to see, if you can find Bean cakes, normally done, with cashews or a fix nut, Cashews has a yellowish-green color, and the mixed nut, is more of a brown color. I prefer the Cashew bean cakes
My drone was the same but as there was no sensors on the bsck it clipped a branch over the lake I was filming our rc boats and ended up down in the depths of the lake. When I phoned the insurance they kindly informed me it was 3 days out of date :( 😞
I sleep really well in hot weather so Thailand is perfect for me. I don't have the AC on at night. April and May are the hottest months. I like to go in November, just after the rainy season. Thais do love their chilli. I went to a restaurant that had 'mild 1-3 chillies, medium 4-6, hot 7-9'. I like spicy food, so went for medium....I couldn't eat it! I make a point of not eating any western style food in Thailand. I have owned quite a few cruisers and have been considering adding one to my garage, to go with the Scram. I might have to try the Super Meteor now?! The Thai MCs have always been very friendly in my experience. Harleys are very expensive in Thailand, a lot more than they are in the UK.
Hi rich n eva.thats bad about the drone.im one to try diff foods.well at least as they said in ep before youl come home not like a budda 😂.great vids stay safe guys 👍
Interesting to see someone on their first time in Thailand, especially when you're squeamish about your food. You might want to consider only eating at restaurants as the night markets will be full of local foods, which you don't seem to be very fond of. Those chicken bits that you thought were liver were probably chicken entrails which is quite popular in rural Thailand. Mango and sticky rice you mentioned is a delicious dessert, you'll enjoy that. Watch out on the roads and just assume everyone is out to kill you, you can never tell what anyone else is about to do, and keep your eyes peeled 360 degrees around you as they can come at you from anywhere. Enjoy your trip guys.
@@ontheroadadventure Not to scare you but just to emphasize how vigilant you need to be on the roads, I just watched this news vlog about 25 deaths and over 2000 injured per day on Thai roads on average currently. th-cam.com/video/6ecGpALy3zU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ovfZfJVAPLly-ERb
They would probably cook the drone for you if you ask. Sun came out today here for the first time this month, last trip out for 2024. Posted a poor image quality short on my channel of my Harley,maybe see you guys out and about next year. My sense of adventure falls way short of your trip. Happy days from sunny Devon.
Fab video and can I just say you pair look awsome. Both of you have lost alot of weight and can see you both have alot more energy. Well done guys. What's the secret diet you've been on :)
@ontheroadadventure well we'll done both of you :) I take my hat off. I can't even work out if a dji mic 2 csn connect to my 360x4 with out adding recievers lol so not good with tech:) love watching you 2. You keep it real and show the crap with the good so we get a good sense of what actually it's really like 👍
I don’t know Rich,you always every time as Eva talks you into eating something that tastes bad so that is funny. Glad you found something good. Thank you for sharing can’t wait until the next one
To be honest guy's I don't think I'd enjoy that type of heat in Thailand way too hot and humid for comfortable riding, for myself anything over 24c is too much 😮
Got to say I'd quite like it. I feel the cold. Anything below 14 is winter gear for me, despite the laughs from others. Have walked abd cycled in Japan and that was mid 30s. You need to keep hydrated. Pokari Sweat is a fine drink for that.
I really liked the videos of you touring Spain, Portugal and the rest of Europe.But to be honest, there is absolutely nothing that attracts me to Asia. I'm not a big fan of the food there and I would freak out about the traffic and how they drive over there. But you definitely still have a lot to discover down there and I wish you a great adventure. Oh... and I really like those Super Meteors. I think they are quite good bikes.
Great video thank you. You Brit’s can’t handle any capsaicin that’s for sure! Lol I feel sorry for you. I enjoy peppers and spicy foods. That’s all I eat.
You can hold google translate Thai to English and walk along the shops and it says what’s what doodle there’s tons of food. Honestly it’s a doddle you hit one button on the photo
Yes they have upgraded that one massively but they are not cheap things. I can’t buy one here and insure it in Europe it seems, buying insurance here only covers for Asia
@ I’ve had inspire and mavic2 pro … currently running a mavic 3 pro and an mini 4 pro ( I own a drone film company ) and without a doubt my go too drone is the mini4 pro … picture quality is amazing , it’s 249g so let’s me fly it anywhere and with sensors everywhere I simply fly for the shot and let the drone sort itself out obstacle wise … well worth looking at in the future
Thanks bud, I really would like the new one. If I could buy it here with the insurance in case I crash it then I’d do it but the insurance wouldn’t cover me in Europe only Asia if purchased in Asia, they weren’t particularly good at finding a solution for us

Thought something serious had happened. We were so worried by the title. Me wonders if it was "click bait" as you are both better than that!

Hi Both. Brilliant vlog. Poor Rich having difficulty with the food. Glad you found something in the end
Thanks for being with us bud
Good start team.
Looks like you're in the groove straight away.
Just put a pin in the menu and go with the flow...
Ride safe 👍
Lucky dip style!
Awesome video Rich & Ewa, thanks for sharing this awesome trip! PS I think Rich needs to do a complete food tour around Asia to get used to some things. 😁👍
Slowly we are doing that! Our food expectations and standards are reducing daily 😂
just Brilliant had me laughing all the way through ....carnt wait for the next part
Won’t be long ☝️👍👍
I would be gutted about the drone too. Just make thats the only thing that gets damaged. I’m so glad you’re enjoying the Royal Enfields. You’re both becoming TH-cam stars and why not. You make a great team! Hopefully we will meet one day. Ride safe 😊
Thanks so much! Poor dronie 😞

We are now in November and it’s a nice 75f (23c) with full sun, great riding weather! 👍🏻 keep safe out there both!

@ yep we have learnt that one. They have really nice drinks here though so not a bad thing to do…
I'm loving this adventure, Rich is making me smile as my reaction to the food would be exactly the same!
Thanks so much for joining us, we can leave the spicy taste testing to Ewa!
As i have lived in Thailand for 7 years now i found your reaction to things very amusing to watch and will follow your journeys, however it would be helpful if you mentioned exactly where you are on your travels!
Welcome aboard! We will try but most of the time we have little idea ourselves! We travel without any real plan or direction 😂
You guys are so awesome. I'm an old Texan now but you are inspiring me to buy another bike. You bring so much joy to my life, thank you. -Jojo
Do it, you are in an amazing place of the world to ride
Rich's face he pulled with chilli... EPIC !!
🥵🥵🥵
we have spent few years in Far East and the most funny part was: you eat what they bring you - and all of that was so good. Of course: you need to be open minded. Of course expecting English breakfast in the middle of Thailand might bring some frustrations but ok, Rich has to show ;-) I was not surpised seeing Ewa eating everything - different blood ;-)

Great video! Your adventures look like so much fun! Enjoy Thailand it is amazing. I think you will prefer Chiang Mai - we are heading there in 3 weeks to escape the London winter and will be hiring big bikes to go on some adventures
Sounds like the perfect plan! Your in for a treat
😂😂😂😂 chilli man almost fell from my bed laughing, your face 😂😂😂
I enjoy your videos so much thanks for taking us along
Glad you like them!
Wait until you get to mid north of Thailand and onwards the roads just get better and better. Loved riding in north Thailand. Try and do she Mae hon son loop.
Thanks we will try to get there 👍
So glad you got a meal in the end I’d definitely stay away from street food lol 😂 gutted about your drone
Yes us too, such a shame. We really wanted to show the Thai islands etc from the drone
loving this episode. can you give details of where you stopped ... there are lots of repair shops around... the banana rotis are really good ...
We are trying to find a way to repair dronie but no luck yet sadly
Best to pilot a crashed drone than pilot a crashed drone😂. Great series. The petrol attendants remind me of my dad’s petrol station/garage in Birmingham in the 60s. Uniformed attendant served fuel. Had a little kiosk, was a funny little old retired guy that loved his job. Check tyres and oil and screenwash with such enthusiasm
Yes you used to be still able to find those small stations with a old boy serving fuel in Devon villages too. Those days are gone now
Rich your face was classic with the chilli 🌶️, Sorry to hear about the drone, Thailand is very resourceful maybe someone can fix it for you. Finally got a decent meal great episode
Thanks we are hunting for a repair place but no joy yet
Great blog guys sorry to hear about drone but it’s small part of it
Hope you can get it fixed there or when you get home
I couldn’t go out and eat there that why I couldn’t go there
Good on rich to take it all on
Enjoy your adventures and can’t wait for next ones
Thanks so much bud. You can do it if I can!
Is it the mini 3 or 4 Pro you have...was just wondering I've the 4 Pro. Great vid...👌
Mini 3
Great vlog … cannot wait til the next part…Rich’s face is a picture looking at all that food on the market stalls …enjoy Love ya Bye
Love you bye 👋
What an adventure guys, what a culture shock for you. Your both doing great!
Thanks so much, we must say, we prefer the grub in Netherlands!
Tofu/bean curd with Veg and noodles/rice is always a good option, most will know what no meat or veg only means, good luck have fun.
We had a good vegan meal last night, a bit spicy but very good
You Rich make me laugh 😅 l love Tie food have a good green curry with rice 🍚 ! Love your videos & the Royal Enfieldes . My best wishes to you from the Philippines ❤️💋🌹👍😉😀😁🏁🛺🏍️🐑🇵🇭🏴⭐
Glad your enjoying it, the royal Enfield 650’s are proving to be nice machines for this tour
Great videos guys keep it up 👍
Thanks Phil
Hmmm, I'm with you in that food market. Their stomachs are probably used to it. Unless as you say, you see it cooked from fresh.
Thats the key to getting good hot fresh food, if you can see them make it for you on the grill you know you are getting it at its best and not just reheated for example or cooked some time ago. Food in Thailand from our experience was a bit of a lottery
You need to do a series of Rich trying all manners of exotic and minging food from around the world, his face cracks me up, so funny guys
Rich isn’t so keen on that idea!
Yip, same as you Rich, I’d be coming home a few stone lighter 😂 keep the vids coming 👍👍🏴
I will be a new skinny man!
Wow! Never knew Thailand drives on the sensible side of the road, every day's a school day👍
Yes, and it’s because of the British… I believe queen Victoria gave one of the first motorcars to Thailand and in honour they decided to drive the same side as the uk
Come on you two dive in … we are over protective back home and those street vendors do lovely food ..best tip go to the stalls with queues … if the locals are prepared to wait in line you know the food is going to be good .. loving the journey ..safe riding
This is very true we are looking for restaurants full of locals, we have found some good ones now
I love this trip with you guys, poor drone. Never mind, at least you found some food for poor Rich . Take care, guys, and I'm looking forward to seeing the next one
Thanks for watching!
I can appreciate how difficult it can be when you’re traveling in a completely different country/ culture/ heatwave etc .
Especially if you haven’t been nourished properly.
It’s a challenge for sure, but we love it here
Lovely video. Just a couple of things.
We live in Chiang Mai. I really like heading out on my PCX at 7 in the morning. The kids are going to school just yet, people aren't going to work so much and it is not so hot. This may sound a bit strange but I find that there is a bit of a quiet spot in the traffic at about 9.15 and 9.30 as the early morning commuters are now at work.

I was riding all over Vietnan in 1993 and have lived and ridden all over southeast Asia since really tough hard riding back in those days no place for TH-cam Tourists then.
Glad you can join us 👍
😂 Boil it, cook it, peel it, or forget it! This adage served me well, when traveling in Asia.
Good sensible advice i say! 😄
32c is not that hot but when it’s humid. That’s something else.
It’s sticky for sure!
Motto should be " We go, so you dont have to (eat bugs)" 🏍️💨💨💨😸👍
Took Rich some convincing before we bought flights to Thailand!
Hi guys. Just found your new travel video. I have the same bike as rich is riding but in blue. Great bikes.
Welcome James, we are enjoying these Royal Enfield 650’s very nice machines
Thanks for the great entertainment, ehehehehe, you must try the roaches, just like prawns, or so I heard, I haven't tried them myself.
Well that doesn’t sound very appealing! 😂 Great to have you with us
So sorry about your drone, hopefully it can get fixed.
Just wanted to ask you about your motorbikes not having the number plates at all, why is that? All other cars and bikes seem to have white ones at the back
Thanks, we will try to repair it but no luck so far. The bikes belong to Royal Enfield and are press bikes and we are told they are therefore not registered privately so don’t need plates 🤷♂️ We were confused too but RE assure us it’s fine
nice bike turning technique (see at 6min 00)
I used to do that with my GoldWing, I was a bit fitter back then though.
[
It looks cool but not good for the stand surely
That’s a good effort!
Should of packed some Army rations Rich😁loving the street food options, your face is to die for buddy. Thankfully you were saved in the restaurant Rich - food looked great.
Yeah it’s not all bad!

Yeah we have to be careful not to get ill and waste days stuck in a hotel…
Sorry about your drone. Thankfully, you had the intelligence to get it insured.
On a much lighter note, Rich, you made me laugh walking through them food markets, but I get where you're coming from fella, raw or cooked meat in them temperatures I wouldn't have risked it either, especially as the food wasn't under a heated source to keep the bacteria away, and the raw meat wasn't refrigerated.
It was as always, great to see you guys doing what you both do best 👌
Thanks for sharing, and see you both on your next adventure 👊 🤙 🤘
Thanks so much bud, really appreciate your comments
Ewa's face knowing she's filming YT Gold!😅😂😂
Papaya Salad. Change your life! It's not available commonly in Aus but the Thai are proud of it.
The ghekkos are cool, the bikes are cooler. Loving them.
Great series so far. Well done, and I'm glad you're having fun!
Ewa tried the salad, it was very spicy! Yes we have to say the Royal Enfields are a real pleasure to ride
Awesome vid makes me want to visit Thailand stay safe
Go for it!
Great video guys! I’m glad I’m in little England in the south of Spain! Can’t beat a full English 😂
Haha we need to go there
I love how you two are polar opposites in the food department
I’m pretty sure Ewa just eats horrid things to watch me be disgusted 🤢
Yes, next time fly up to Chiang Mai, pick up your bikes & head north. You will be on the great mountain roads in 20 minutes.
We may do that yet
On food stalls always check colour of oil they are cooking in if its dark dont touch it
Good plan 👍
You should be able to get your drone repaired in Thailand ask around.
We are trying but no luck yet
Spicy foods keep you cool in hot climates.
Rich is screwed then!
Don't worry about the drone mate, we're just here for the personalities... and of course the upcoming durian scene. You will be trying the durian, won't you? It's a local delicacy.
Ohhh god
Don’t listen to the haters! Love the video, thumbnail is accurate to the situation and I think it is a disaster that you lost your drone, it is quite serious
It certainly is for us! We are not just sad about the value of it but because we know how people like to watch the drone shots, we really want to show people places in the best way possible. Thanks so much for your continued support and being with us on the road 👍
I really like your thai adventures. I feel like this place is not really on my bucket list. But maybe i am wrong.
Our of the cities it’s getting pretty epic!
It’s a big no from me on the bugs pick a mix 😱 😂
Shame about the drone, but that’s only a small part of the footage.
Can’t help laughing at the faces Rich pulls looking at the various meaty offerings, as for cheese popcorn….ummmmmm.
Did the RE guy show you the USB charging plug under the left hand side panel? Just in case you weren’t aware…
Ahhh amazing! We needed a charge plug! Why would it be hidden down there?!
No tools buy a Leatherman wave+ and a adjustable spanner.👍
I was worried to come through the airport with a pocket knife
Buy one out there and send it home !
Not a bad plan
Gutted about the drone but if it’s any consolation I’ve done the same myself and writ mine off 😊
I don’t know how u are coping with the food /bugs situation mate, it’s the one thing that gives me the creeps and worries me for our up coming trip.
Despite the drone mishap… another excellent clip and a long one too 😊👍
I appreciate the work that goes into one of these uploads so thank you.
We are Sad to hear that the red dress was left behind in the last hotel, my girlfriend was just commenting on how well ur lady looked etc.
Stay safe out there guys looking forward to the next one 👍😊
Thanks so much, yes there’s huge bugs and all kinds of animals I have never seen before here, often on your plate for dinner 😂
@ 😂 No thanks.
Respect to ur girl for trying it but I’d be on ur lines…Thanks but no thanks 😀
Ewa will try almost anything once!
@ I tried camel tongue once in Tunisia… didn’t end well 😂 🤢 🤢
Geckos are cool, they eat flies and mosquitoes…be thankful!! Ride safe Rich and Ewa 🏍️👍🇿🇦
We are used to them now and actually miss having them when they are not in sight 😂
Rich you have the same culinary spectrum as my 4 year old grandson 🙂
LOL but we are happy with what we got!! Simple is best
Mrs Big Andy is now a fan too…brilliant once again both been pissing ourselves 😂😂
Awesome! Welcome aboard
I go to Thailand every year, the ice in the coffees is made with bottled water so you should not get any upset stomachs
Thanks bud, we have now given up in no ice, it’s just too hot to be that worried about it
So guys, how do you like or dislike the Royal Enfield 650s in comparison to the 400 Triumphs...? Are they to be compared or are they in a league of their own due to the 250Cc more...? I used to own a 1983 Yamaha XS650, which is a fantastic motorcycle, but so incredible slow. It does force you to slow down and enjoy the ride at slow speeds, which is better for your driver's license and your bank account to begin with...;-) To eat: in countries like this avoid eating meat and avoid drinking local water at all times. How about some noodles and vegetables, maybe slightly seasoned...? That should be doable... It is going to be a challenge to get something to eat, which is not a threat to your health. For me personally, another reason not to go to countries like this, since eating is something to should be able to do without any risks... and let's face it: eating is something one does at least 3 times a day and that should not be 3 times a day trying to avoid a potential hazards foods... And spicy foods: remember, they will always be spicy twice... entering your body and leaving your body. And on a motorcycle you will be sitting on the burning exit which had to deal with spicy foods that morning... My advice would be: leave the spicy foods for what they are and eat milder foods. Your exit will thank you for it ;-)
I like your play it safe style!! The bikes are fantastic, perfect for cruising around these roads out of the city, we are really enjoying them
I'm quite lucky with food. I can just about eat anything and seem to have a cast iron stomach. Although this might get me flamed, I'm not keen on cheese on toast, but if I'm hungry, I'll eat it. Roads look mental but kind of fun. 😊 well done, guys.
Thanks Chris, see you in the next one
Rich & Ewa. I appreciate Thailand is exotic…..but you think you’d at least be able to get a large chunk of Cathedral City or Pilgrims Choice, a few strong pickled onions and a wedge of pork pie? It’s not much to ask for……!!🤭
Hats off to Ewa for trying the local delicacies!!
A great episode! Keep it up!
Oh mate that sounds delicious right now! Washes down with a nice proper zero cider
Bangkok city has the hottest *_average_* city temperature in the world. Think about in the past when there was no air conditioning, just fans. How did everyone cope? Easy, they acclimatised.
If you want to acclimatise, you need to stay out of air conditioned spaces as much as possible. Oh, and _"Mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun."_ Plan your days so that you are in the shade (not the air-con) between about midday and 4 pm (ish). Oh, how do I know? I used to go for a 5 km run everyday in Malaysia at 4.30 pm everyday. Also,we didn't have air-con when we lived in Bangkok...
Final thought while you are riding, Buddhists believe in reincarnation. The Thai driving/riding style reflects this...
I love that saying about Englishman and mad dogs! 😂
Rich: I'm proud of you. finally a decent meal!!
And ewa: hot food gives you 2 x fun! the first time of eating and and second time on the toilet 😉
and the gecko's are so cute. They make a special sound .Maybe you hear that
Thanks! Yes the geckos make a little noise, there’s big ones here too but we haven’t found one yet
You really need to see, if you can find Bean cakes, normally done, with cashews or a fix nut, Cashews has a yellowish-green color, and the mixed nut, is more of a brown color. I prefer the Cashew bean cakes
We will keep a look out for them
Toby Carvery legend and on my wavelength and I agree most of that meat I would question if they even wiped its arse
😂😂😂
Chilli fruit!! That was so funny 🤣
Why on earth would they do that 😂
Those chicken hearts looked delicious 🤤. You need to be a little more daring Rich lol. Great video.
Oh Noooo 🤢
The fear in Rich's face over food is priceless 😂
We have gone rural now and things have got much worse 🤣
Can't believe you passed on the Duck faces 🤣
I told them to put it on the bill
My drone was the same but as there was no sensors on the bsck it clipped a branch over the lake I was filming our rc boats and ended up down in the depths of the lake. When I phoned the insurance they kindly informed me it was 3 days out of date :( 😞
That’s just typical 😣
I sleep really well in hot weather so Thailand is perfect for me. I don't have the AC on at night. April and May are the hottest months. I like to go in November, just after the rainy season.
Thais do love their chilli. I went to a restaurant that had 'mild 1-3 chillies, medium 4-6, hot 7-9'. I like spicy food, so went for medium....I couldn't eat it! I make a point of not eating any western style food in Thailand.
I have owned quite a few cruisers and have been considering adding one to my garage, to go with the Scram. I might have to try the Super Meteor now?!
The Thai MCs have always been very friendly in my experience. Harleys are very expensive in Thailand, a lot more than they are in the UK.
Try out a super meteor it’s a smooth delivery from a nice motor 👍
Hi rich n eva.thats bad about the drone.im one to try diff foods.well at least as they said in ep before youl come home not like a budda 😂.great vids stay safe guys 👍
Thanks, yes dronie is gone now 😔 Never a good time for stuff like that
Interesting to see someone on their first time in Thailand, especially when you're squeamish about your food. You might want to consider only eating at restaurants as the night markets will be full of local foods, which you don't seem to be very fond of. Those chicken bits that you thought were liver were probably chicken entrails which is quite popular in rural Thailand. Mango and sticky rice you mentioned is a delicious dessert, you'll enjoy that. Watch out on the roads and just assume everyone is out to kill you, you can never tell what anyone else is about to do, and keep your eyes peeled 360 degrees around you as they can come at you from anywhere. Enjoy your trip guys.
Thanks we must try the mango sticky rice! Great to have you with us 👍
@@ontheroadadventure Not to scare you but just to emphasize how vigilant you need to be on the roads, I just watched this news vlog about 25 deaths and over 2000 injured per day on Thai roads on average currently.
th-cam.com/video/6ecGpALy3zU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ovfZfJVAPLly-ERb
@@ontheroadadventure So stay safe!
We will. Thanks
I read a statistics - 80% of all road fatalities in Thailand are Motorcyclists...
Rich soon need a new bottle of blinker fluid 😂
😂😂👍
It's not Pilgrim's Choice! Love it. A Brit abroad, ha ha ha.
😂😂
They would probably cook the drone for you if you ask.
Sun came out today here for the first time this month, last trip out for 2024.
Posted a poor image quality short on my channel of my Harley,maybe see you guys out and about next year.
My sense of adventure falls way short of your trip.
Happy days from sunny Devon.
Thanks Theo, we knew we had to leave the shire if we wanted to film 4 episodes a week over winter, the rain is relentless in the uk
Eva's great! You on the other hand..😅
It’s all about balance! Salt and pepper, sweet and sour 😉
Fab video and can I just say you pair look awsome. Both of you have lost alot of weight and can see you both have alot more energy. Well done guys. What's the secret diet you've been on :)
Nil by mouth I would think is their diet 😂😂😂😂
Thanks Lisa, we wanted to look better for the videos so making a real effort. We are literally putting everything we have into this TH-cam lark!
@ontheroadadventure well we'll done both of you :) I take my hat off. I can't even work out if a dji mic 2 csn connect to my 360x4 with out adding recievers lol so not good with tech:) love watching you 2. You keep it real and show the crap with the good so we get a good sense of what actually it's really like 👍
I don’t know Rich,you always every time as Eva talks you into eating something that tastes bad so that is funny. Glad you found something good. Thank you for sharing can’t wait until the next one
See you in the next one bud, thanks ☺️
To be honest guy's I don't think I'd enjoy that type of heat in Thailand way too hot and humid for comfortable riding, for myself anything over 24c is too much 😮
Got to say I'd quite like it. I feel the cold. Anything below 14 is winter gear for me, despite the laughs from others.
Have walked abd cycled in Japan and that was mid 30s. You need to keep hydrated. Pokari Sweat is a fine drink for that.
It is a challenge
Yes lots and lots of fluids is essential here
Rich we need to talk about cancelling indicators mate. Lol
Yes! 😂
I really liked the videos of you touring Spain, Portugal and the rest of Europe.But to be honest, there is absolutely nothing that attracts me to Asia. I'm not a big fan of the food there and I would freak out about the traffic and how they drive over there. But you definitely still have a lot to discover down there and I wish you a great adventure.
Oh... and I really like those Super Meteors. I think they are quite good bikes.
Thanks so much, we knew Asia would be a challenge too but it’s affordable and hot in the winter so we decided to take it on!
You lost some timber there Rich. You been dieting? Looking good mate.
Thanks Stu, yes been making some effort but I think the Thai diet will finish the job off!
I am with you on food stalls, not worth the risk ,ewa face 👀 when u won't eat anything 😂😂
Rich is hanging on for a cheese n beans jacket potato
Great video thank you.
You Brit’s can’t handle any capsaicin that’s for sure! Lol I feel sorry for you. I enjoy peppers and spicy foods. That’s all I eat.
Ewa loves it but not for me!
You can hold google translate Thai to English and walk along the shops and it says what’s what doodle there’s tons of food. Honestly it’s a doddle you hit one button on the photo
Thanks bud, we must remember to do that more!
@ you need to go to one of the big shopping centres for scran
Yes we discovered those, good place for food halls
Did you take your own helmets on the plane? Wondering if I can do the same sometime 😊
Yes just carry them on 👍
Get a mini pro4 and enjoy the crash sensors 😂😂😂😂😂
Yes they have upgraded that one massively but they are not cheap things. I can’t buy one here and insure it in Europe it seems, buying insurance here only covers for Asia
@ I’ve had inspire and mavic2 pro … currently running a mavic 3 pro and an mini 4 pro ( I own a drone film company ) and without a doubt my go too drone is the mini4 pro … picture quality is amazing , it’s 249g so let’s me fly it anywhere and with sensors everywhere I simply fly for the shot and let the drone sort itself out obstacle wise … well worth looking at in the future
Thanks bud, I really would like the new one. If I could buy it here with the insurance in case I crash it then I’d do it but the insurance wouldn’t cover me in Europe only Asia if purchased in Asia, they weren’t particularly good at finding a solution for us
@ then change your insurance company when home , be a shame not to have a drone whilst out there
It’s DJI care, you’d think they could offer world wide coverage
Street food in the far East is great, tuck in you might surprise yourself
Perhaps… but not necessarily a good surprise 😂
Check your life insurance policy before you eat anything there.😂👍
We took out travel insurance
Yep stick to restaurants, food markets are a little dodgy from my experience but remember the sick and shits only last 24hrs😅
Oh well then 😂
