Thailand's Benidorm - Is Hua Hin Really the Best?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ก.พ. 2025
- The Thailand Motorcycle Tour leads us into the Town of Hua Hin, Thailand. Hua Hin has been called Thailand's Benidorm due to the amount of expats and western tourists who love the area. We Ride our Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 Motorbikes to stay at a shared Work space for Digital Nomads in Thailand. We want to see what its like Touring Thailand and living as a Digital nomad as we Travel the Area on our Motorcycles. Join us as we Visit the Markets, Beaches, and Observe the madness that is Hua Hin, Thailands Benidorm

Ohhh Ewa, stereotyping is very dodgy. I'm approaching 66 and my idea of a perfect trip would be a month on my bike, with a tent, stooging around the mountains and less occupied parts of Europe... or maybe Norway. Anywhere that has interesting roads and not too many people. Loving this series.
We fancy doing Norway too, we missed the weather window this year. Don’t fancy camping much in Thailand though!!
Roads look absolutely chaotic, but it works somehow and without people tooting incessantly. Amazing 🤷♀️. Thoroughly enjoying your videos and appreciating your hard work!
Thanks Jane, Yes the Thai people are really Chill
Oh wow that looked like an amazing day! Those roads and especially the roundabouts are crazy 🤣 I bet it’s great fun! There’s a distinct lack of helmets being worn and I think I saw expats not wearing them too!!! Great episode guys 👍
Yes very few people wear protective gear here even though it’s like to ride without a helmet! We are melting in ours but we won’t ride without it
I just spotted on your good lady's bike the chain looks very rusty . Might be worth checking . Great stream again both great fun on great little bikes. Take care ride safe and enjoy .👍👍👍👍
@@cbrider726 You are a detective I’m guessing?🕵️♂️🔎
@@neilurquhart8622 No lol just saw it and wanted to let them know lol
Yes, you’re not wrong! The chain isn’t in great shape but it only needs to do a few more miles, I was worried if I lubed it, it would get too slack and I have no tools with me, as I say only needs to hang on a little while longer…
It’s good to see that people are aware of these things 👍🏻
Don’t worry bud, I’m staring at it by the mile lol
Great video, the burger looked awesome. Sometimes I think a little bit of home really helps when you're away. Looking forward to your next adventure
Absolutely it does wonders for morale especially when tired and hungry
Another cracking episode guys 😊😊
Thanks Dave 👍🏻👍🏻
Loving watching your trip thanks for sharing 🍻👍🫡Ride Safe 👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Great episode guys, the look on Rich's face when in father son and the burger, the place looked chilled out 😎. The traffic looks so scary as f and you both seem quite at home on your RE cruisers 👍 on of my work mates has just gone out there and just been to the same elephant sanctuary place. Amazing and so cool. Enjoy the warmth because the temp at home has just dropped 😂
Yes, you have no idea how good a burger like that looks after a few weeks of food you don’t recognise 😂
@ontheroadadventure we could see from the look on your face 👍
@ontheroadadventure also sad news back home, Plymouth Harley, triumph and yamaha have closed 😢
Found it interesting when you showed your hotel rooms and mentioned the price paid.
Yes we saw that, awful for all involved. Times are changing in the motorcycle industry
What an awesome trip you have in Thailand. Really enjoy to follow your journey 👍
Thanks so much, great to have you with us and show you a little of Thailand
Love watching your travels 😀😀living the dream 😀
Glad you enjoy it! Thanks for being with us
What a ride. It looked crazy, but you both did well to find yourself around. Well done, Rick. I would have got lost.
Oddly getting lost is rarely a problem for us, but probably because we just wing it most the time
A fantastic video stay safe you two
Thanks so much, What a crazy place to be
Another great vid guys 👍🏼👍🏼 Those roads, you certainly need eyes everywhere there ! I did shudder seeing that very young kid drinking his bottle of milk with I presume his mum on the scooter 😳😳 but as you say!!! There’s a surprise on every street !!!! Rich !!! Eating a burger with knife & fork ??? Can’t be done mate 😂😂😂😂👍🏼 Enjoying every minute of your adventure! Thank you guys 😉
Yes madness around every corner here bud! It’s concerning for us to see at times but that’s just how it’s done here
Great episode gang. Nice to see you hooking into some great Aussie Beef. Take care out there.
Oh yes that was amazing!!
Living the dream . ❤
Thailand is the Land of the dreams
You two are becoming seasoned pros on the mad streets!! The burgers looked amazing, ride safe
Thanks so much, we are doing our best to stay out of trouble!
When you get back to the UK & look back at the madness & craziness of the roads in Thailand, you will miss it. When you are sitting in gridlock traffic, Thailands roads will make sense. I have been spending the winters in Thailand since 2000. When I return to the USA, I am amazed on how insane the traffic is here. I think it is because the government is involved in every action you make on the roadway, thinking their control will make things better, it just makes things worse. I have never had anything stolen in my stays in Thailand.
We have been debating this and weather all the rules and regulations in the uk are far to over the top actually beginning to hold us back as a country
That burger looked the business😋 love the content👌🏾 Thank you!
It was a beauty!!! Glad to have you with us
Honestly your vids are great all the best from Newcastle uk
Glad you like them! You got the snow there yet?
Ha I'm over 60 and have never been on a bus tour with the cauliflower heads and blue rinse brigade i will have you know 🤣🤣
Traffic looks horrendous over there ! you will be growing eyes in the back of your head soon
Keep up the good work guys ,just loving the tour 😍
lol we knew that comment would get people talking 😂 We mean no offence, just that we are old and sensible for our age not drinking and partying etc
@@ontheroadadventure none taken 😂
See you in the next one then 👍👍👍
I'm looking forward to my over 60 holiday next year, the Thailand of the UK , SKEGNESS. great video many thanks.
Watch out for the seagulls though….they pinch your food! Let us know if there’s a good Thai restaurant
Is Butlins still a thing there?
I’d stick to proper sausage and chips!!
First time here…what a lovely couple. I’ll be back. Love the ExPat comment.
Welcome Christopher, Hit that Subscribe button and enjoy the ride
Fairly tame traffic - a gentle Sunday afternoon! 😁 I learnt to drive in Kuala Lumpur quite a few years ago now and that was, erm, very interesting. Imagine trying to learn to drive in wall-to-wall traffic with nearly no rules forcing your way out of junctions etc... The Arc de Triomphe roundabout in Paris (Place de l'Étoile) is a walk in the park to most Asian cities.
That scooter following you to the guest house was behaving a bit "suss".
Yes once you learn to drive in a place like this everything else is easy!! Can’t say we noticed the scooter?
as always fantastic
Thank you so much 😀
Another brilliant vlog,,, looks like u guys are having so much fun 👍👍
Thanks so much, The Thailand adventure tour is one we will never forget for sure
Love this!
Thanks for joining us on the road
I love your show, keep it going!!
Thanks so much Mike, it’s great to have you with us on the road!
Hi Rich Eva another great one. Itchy Boots and then you two what a great day. Seeing all those riding bikes in casual clothes no helmets got me thinking about here in the UK. We can get nicked here for riding an EBike with a throttle and we're being taxed heavily to get to Net zero before any other country and yet our level of pollution is one of the lowest. No wonder one of my mates chose to live out there. Eva great question ex pat or immigrant ! What the answer is I don't know either. Stay safe you two . Ted
We have been asking ourselves the same questions. There’s no emission laws here! Not much healthy and safety either lol But you have to wonder has it all gone too far in the uk to the point of being detrimental to us all?
spot on both
Thanks Allan
Cannot believe how calm you guys are on the roads, I think i'd have to turn my microphone off lol, really enjoying your adventures, and dreaming of the weather, Snow here today in the New Forest!
It’s just how it is here, gotta accept it and move with it I guess… I bet it’s so pretty in the new forest with snow
Wow good food and amazing elephants. What a wonderful place. They are doing such a great thing for the rescued elephants. You 2 have had the best day. 👌
Yes amazing keepers they really cared for the Elephants there. Glad you have joined us on the road in Thailand
Another great episode, that burger was unbelievable nice restaurant. The joys of traffic and roundabouts. Worse in India this year as they all bib their horns the whole time. You need eyes everywhere but all good fun 🤩 love a market with all that fresh fruit
Yes no need for the stress of loud noise and beeping horns here, everyone is happy and content in the madness
I’m guessing your reference to Benidorm was Spain? When I was in the Navy we were the first US Carrier to anchor there. What a fantastic place. All Europeans on holiday. I still keep in touch with a kid who family owned a pub there. He was 15 at the time and that was 1981. How time flies. I would love to revisit there. He and his wife now own their own pub.
It’s a home from home 👍
Hi guys, just ride 20klms North on the beach road to Cha-Am or South to Pak Nam Pran.
Loads of places to stay and great restaurants opposite the beach. The foreigners on scooters were most likely tourists, like yourselves.
We will explore the beaches more later in the tour. Yes lots and lots of tourists in these areas and it’s still very early in the season for Thailand
Enjoy the weather Exeter is covered in snow wish i was there
How crazy! Rare that happens in the uk
Great stuff guys and you have finally found some grub you like Rich. How you ate that lot though I don't know. I am still wondering where are all the snakes!😄✌🏍
I’m sure there about!
Motorcycles and great food go together.and a whole lot of crazy people on scooters 🤦♂️you two are brave can’t wait until the next video
Thanks Ron, it’s scary at times riding here but the rewards are massive!
Man, those two way walkie-talkies in your helmets. Those are just brilliant! The only way to go have a wing man or woman!
Yes these are Cardo we use and they are brilliant 👍
Loving the journey with you guys so far, watching the madness on some of the roads, including railway lines with No warning signs !😮, talk about health & safety, what health and safety 😂
There’s no health and safety here at all, we were watching guys yesterday up electricity poles fixing lines,they had no harness, no hard hats or gear, no cones to move the traffic away from them… I wouldn’t be surprised if the cables were still live!
Love your trip . Would love to consider doing some of these places myself . Would you mind detailing the trip , roads , towns , motels etc a little more
Hi Carla, You should come to Thailand, its an amazing place to ride! We will try to give you more details of where we are etc. Feel free to ask any questions, we will help in the comments if we can.
No matter where you are, you don't have to worry too much. In Thailand,
That does seem to be the case. Very impressive respectful country
Hey guys if you are still in HH or are passing by there on your way back north, you should try Steak Sudsoi just off Soi 10, Soi Bon Kai on Soi 94/88. It is the best steak in HH and I think the best in Thailand. The chef used to be at the Anantara Hotel and the steak is sublime!
Just watched your entire video, steak sudsoi is walking distance from your accommodation.
If you are in HH again try Panisara Pool Villa. Much nicer than where you guys stayed, but has a restaurant, no shared kitchen.
I'll be in HH on Dec the 14th for a whole month.
Sadly we have moved on from there now but we may well pass through again, if we do we will stay there for sure
Hi Guys
Spare a thought for the less fortunate
It's a Whole 1°c now in Epping with a dusting of snow yesterday.
Croc on 🏍
But... You do still have access to Jacket potatoes and Pilgrims Choice... So Swings and roundabouts...
@ontheroadadventure Indeed 😋
this really made me laugh "tourist area but not for piss heads" HAHA LOL - that was brilliant, I love the authenticiy of your videos so much
Thanks Eddie 👌
@ I just discovered about Pattaya Bike week in mid February, are you both going to that? I am trying to convince Sara at the moment 😂 wish me luck 🤞
We will run out of visa by then I’m sure
@@ontheroadadventure last year we do 2 visa runs to extend our trip to 6 months lol - but it was super easy to get the digital nomad 5 year visa and I think only cost £200, so this trip will be easier for us
We have to say, we have began to look at the options... The uk in winter is not very appealing
You need to get yourselves up north into the mountains and off those highways. It'll be so much cooler.
Cheers bud… on our way 👍🏻
My oh my and we see half of what you see in traffic complete madness and the noise 🤪
It seemed peaceful and quiet in the B,&B with that lovely fruit.
Sleep tight
Yes once you escape the main streets and put the air con on it’s a different world!
I have just spent 21 days riding in the mountains of northern Thailand
Get yourself up there
Best riding i have ever done
Thanks bud, on our way 👍 What’s your recommendations, must see places?
@@ontheroadadventure head for Pai
Then get yourself on the Mae Son Loop
Which ever roads or direction suits you
I promise you wont be dissapointed
Sounds like a good plan
Not really a burger fan Rich, but that looked awesome!
It sure was!
if you like epic beaches without tourist & expats checkout Nakhon Si Thammarat Provinz. The road between Sichon to Khanom is spectacular. Until now, a hidden gem.
Thanks I added it to our maps 👍👍
From Thailand you can drive too Singapore and Malaysia many houses and small businesses were destroyed by the tsunami close too the beach and people dying there some years ago from Phuket you can see Indonesia bright weather have a good time there
Are there physical borders there? What are the rules about bringing bikes across here, is it simple like in Europe to cross countries or lots of paperwork and visas?
Hello Great video!! You moust try The best food fore farang pad kra pow moo gai Dow. I know you like it! Keep upp The good work!! Take care.
Thanks bud 😁✌️✌️
I'm not particularly picky about food but i sure would be struggling similar to you Rich. Donna my wife recons i wouldnt eat mango apparently it's like peach.🤑
Haha mango is sweeter 😉
Love HUA HIN. Was there in July. That was HOT :)
I bet! must of been in the 40's then? How did you cope?
I don't know if you already answered this question before, but how do you guys connect your mics while you ride. With Bluetooth on one camera, or do you spent a lot of time editing. When you Rich and Ewa talk to each other while you are filming when riding. How is your setup?
Greetings Pat and Jimmy from Norway
Hi, yes we spend allot of time editing! We use lav mics when riding
Monkey temple is good to visit in Hua Hin. There’s also a small cafe/restaurant called Yummy Corner in the Main Street, they do great food.
Thanks we will take a look 👍🏻
Just been in Sicily recently it is a bit mad isn’t it
Yes! Our TH-cam journey started there! If you go to our channel and look at the oldest videos you can watch them although they are not nearly as good as they are now..
Try the dragon fruit,subtle and very refreshing
Yes we tried that, delicious 🤤
Riding with all those maniacal scooters is like riding in Cambridge with all the maniacal cyclists that totally ignore the rules of the road.
At last…..proper food🍔🍔
Yes, not many rules of the road are followed here!
Nice video, so did you guys like it in Hua Hin or not?
Yes absolutely, it’s a busy area but very nice to spend a few days
@ontheroadadventure oh, but a bit like Benidorm isn't it?
It is full of westerners for sure, but this does mean you’ll find food you like
@@ontheroadadventure Next time give me a buzz, and i'll show you the backcountry and some amazing greenlanes👍 happy holiday season
Cheers!
According to google: An expat is a person who lives outside their native country, usually for a limited period of time, and may or may not intend to return to their home country. On the other hand, an immigrant is a person who moves to a new country with the intention of settling there permanently.
I would class an expat as somebody that lives abroad and has the funds to keep himself without having to claim asylum and benefits, an immigrant on the other hand...
an expat is someone who arrives with the correct visa and the financial means to support themselves whereas in the uk an immigrant is someone who floats in on a raft without any identification and proceeds to bleed the benefits system dry whilst trying to hide their criminal past and hatred of the west!
Ah interesting
You've gotta try a Honda with a DCT transmission. Let us know how you get on.
I will try that when I get chance to do it, I’m curious too now
Oil the chains, I noticed they were rusty
The traffic is mad and 3 up too lol
4 up is common here, i havent seen 5 yet though....
Those burgers looked amazing! Do you have chain lube with you? The chains are looking a little cripy… 😉
Luv ya, bye
Love you bye 👋
Could you do what itchy boots does and pen a map so we can see where you are heading
We have different styles of travel, we don’t plan every detail in advance, we like to just go as the road takes us which means not only do we not own maps but half the time we don’t know where we are 😂
@@ontheroadadventure you'll have a timeline on Google maps at the end of the day. Could may be use that in some way.
We haven’t used that feature on our phone before but we will try it out tomorrow and see if it tracks us 👍
You are so brave! Would ever, never ride a bike there!!!😂😂😂
It can be scary but you just have to relax into it and go with the crazy flow
So where are you staying in Hua hin
We stayed right in the centre, a lovely Co working space. We really enjoyed Hua Hin
Must be hard work, video a day thanks
Thanks John, we edit until early hours each night after riding and go again in the morning. We love to do it 👍🏻
(11:30) Father & Sons, is well known in the USA.
It was a awesome feed 👍🏻
I was laughing at most of the comments you two made. I actually live right next to where you had the burger. I have ridden around most of the country in my 5+ years here, but I am interested in knowing how the Enfield was?
The Enfields were very good, plenty enough power for the riding here, comfortable and reliable 👍
have a house 45 min south of Hua hin you can use if you want at sometime.
Thanks so much, we are heading north right now but we will be back south and going down the coast in time, you can email us if you like ontheroadcontactus@gmail.com 😊
good old greggs is what's missing😂
Yes imagine if you opened a franchise here!
I know what you mean about Chilli Levels... I ordered a standard Thai Chilli Basil....and it had 50 bits of chilli in it.
That being said, if we don't see Rich eating a plate of chilli this tour, we'll be well ripped off.
I'll kick it off... $50AUD for a proper go at a Thai Stir-fry! 😊 C'mooon!!
Haha it will cost you allot more than that 😂😂
lots of cut and thrust on the roads; but you notice the Thais don't get nasty...no road rage.
Yep all very chill here, it’s great
A culture where stealing is almost unheard of.
How refreshing.
How sad we have declined the way we have in so much of the rest of the world.
Ride safe 👍
We agree, we can all learn from the Thai way…
Wouldn’t really call Hua Hin Benidorm not that many Brits there or Irish bars😂
lol not quite that bad
Hang on! Im 61 and still a kicking ass biker. Mind you the helmet does my pink rinse no favours 😊
Rock on 🤘
Why am I always hungry after watching your vlogs? Are you doing market research for creating “On the Road Burger” range when you get back? Looks like the main danger in town is other bikers coming from all sides!!
Haha perhaps one day! Who knows, we do love our food! Yes the scooters can come out the hedges and all sorts, you gotta keep your eyes open here
@@ontheroadadventure yes we prefer trying food to buying souvenirs, an important part of the overall experience.
Yeah we never buy the Tat your suppose to bring back
Love you, bye! 😂
Love you bye 👋
Hi guys great vids again the shoe thing was similar in Iraq I think it's more to do with your feet are dirty feet in shoes it's religion when they pulled the statues of sadam were pulled down the locals took of they're footware and hit the statues with them biggest insult going
Stay safe out there
Hua hin !!! On dat ting..🤣
Just another day in Crazy Thailand! What a place to ride!
Hua Hin is a poor example of Thailand, try the northern towns of Sukhothai. Phrae, Nan And many more in the region.
Thanks we will take a look at these and head that way soon
I can't believe how many 711's are there!😂
It’s a ridiculous amount of them but we sure are grateful for them!
Did they tell you about the Thailand tradition that bikers every Tuesday between 9 and 9:12 sacrifice a chicken.
On a bbq?
@ I think it’s something to do with pleasing oden the bike god 🤷♂️
Well we better get the chicken then!
There is also a beautiful national park just south of Hua Hin on highway 4020...say hello to the monkeys
Going to the south many fish too eat good four ewa stay out of the toerist places
We will get there in time we hope 👍🏻
By the way, the shoe thing isn't a thing
Not taking them off to go inside you mean?
Black riding clothes in hot tropics!😮
The pando moto top is mesh so fantastic but yes the trousers are a mistake, we talk about why it is in the second episode of the tour. We will cope though ✌️
Another great video guys. Very interesting! You mentioned about seeing white people… out of interest have you seen any black people yet? I haven’t noticed any in the videos so far..
Oh wow you’re right… I wonder why that is?
@@ontheroadadventureBecause they’re elsewhere 😂……JOKE, NOT BEING OFFENSIVE😎
@@ontheroadadventure Yes it's curious. I think I'd be like a walking attraction! 🤣. My other half went to China about 20 years ago and they were looking at him and following him around sometimes because they weren't used to seeing white people.... He was like a celebrity!
Plenty of Black people in tourist area.
Awesome. China is a interesting looking place we would love to visit
no use coming to Thailand and expect to make money...they have a saying....'the only way to make a small fortune inThailand is to arrive with a big fortune'.
Yeah we heard that one ☝️ Very true it seems too
I really enjoy watching your videos because you are such great people but as soon as you blasphemy in the video I switch it off. I don't expect everyone to have my belief but rather edit it out.
Sorry it upsets you, we are 100% authentic and so we don’t edit these out
Your bikes will be fine
I leave my keys ,helmet and jacket out all the time
To us being from the uk it’s mind blowing 🤯 You just can’t trust anyone back home, it’s so refreshing being in Thailand
@ontheroadadventure im English but have lived in Australia over 20yrs
Same there i wouldnt leave anything out
Different story here in Thailand but you still hsve to have your witts about you
Yeah still better safe than sorry
Hi. Riding is morocco is way worse i can tell you!
City riding you mean? How is the food situation there? Is it easy to find food we recognise?
@@ontheroadadventureI rode to Morocco in 2005. I’m a picky eater, and didn’t go hungry👍🏼
I miss simple food like Bread and Potatoes most when away!
@@ontheroadadventure Don't forget Pilgrims Choice😂👍🏻
Naturally 👌
oh and ex-pats are usually retired and move abroad with their money...immigrants usually move with nothing and look for a job/handouts ; so are usually younger.
Well you can’t blame either of them coming to find the Thai sunshine ☀️
Immigrants are normally fleeing with nothing, a big difference, and they do not seek handouts, but humanity and support.
It’s important to be kind 👍
Show some respect to the beautiful Thai people, U both should learn to at least greet & say thankyou in Thai! Really lazy & disrespectful
Most friendly people we have met who appreciate our Thai efforts 👍
Chiang mai is my favourite spot because ur surrounded by perfect mountain roads, but for beach life, u cannot beat Krabi or the islands. If you can get up north get urselves up Doi Intanon, Thai highest mountain, i warn u tho, the temp will drop, in December expect 5-10c daytime at the summit, and yes you can drive right to the summit, criminal I know, but a bikers dream, 2.5km above sea level
Where is good to be in Chaing mai? Somewhere that’s not too busy
The roads in Thailand are mad.. 😂
Yes crazy! But we loved riding here! What an experience
You need some mince & tatties down you, Without the 2 killos of chillie, I have to laugh at threir Mad surfboards with truck engins on them with turbos doing 90 mph going down the canal water ways, Now thats something to see..
We are constantly surprised and in awe in Thailand! You never know what you will see next
