- In this episode, Oscar (@Longaguu) and I travel to Chiang Mai, Thailand for a cycling trip. We had to wake up really early but thankfully we were only a 3-hour flight away from some great weather and food. The airport transfer was seamless even with the bike bags. We checked out some of the food and coffee places before going on an evening ride to finish our first day.
Prior to the trip, I heard a lot of good things about Chiang Mai as a cycling destination so I decided to see for myself what all the hype was about. Stay tuned for the following series of episodes to watch our adventure in Chiang Mai!
Check out the route we did: / strava
A special thanks to Longaguu for making this video possible.

Welcome to Chiang mai and Thailand Bro!! 😉
I have been the fan of your channel for 2 years.
Hope you enjoy this trip. Waiting to watch next ep in Chiang Mai.👍👍
Recommend you stay at Vanilla Residence next time where most visiting cyclists stay.
Agreed.
been waiting on a new video! definitely worth the wait
As always, great choice of backing tracks.
Great new video, I like the general style of your videos the music just a real good watch. Keep them coming 👍
Naise. Prolly the next one you could try the Nan to Bo Kluea Loop - quiet town with minimal if not, no traffic
Yesss another vid 😂👍🏻
Can plan for the Mae Hong Son loop ride , it's an epic ride to Northern Thailand and back to ChiangMai
Did it on a motorbike 😂 no way could I peddle in that heat! 😅

wow cycling on Thailand 🇹🇭🙌🏻💪🏻👍🏻💯😁
the red truck you rode is called "Song Taew" it's a public transportation better than Tuk Tuk 😂😂😂
Thanks! I am clueless about such things hahaha
Amazing place for cyclists. I was there for Inthanon Kom. You should try next year
Welcome to Thaialnd ^^
Very nice quality video like it
ya man gotta dump that tuk tuk and get on the grab for sure!
very nice video...... love riding in CM.
I'm retired. Retired in Chiang Mai because of the cycling.
You guys made doi suthep look like a piece of cake
Love your vids 👍🤝
I hope to see you on Doisuthep 1 day soon
Your friend's bike. Looks like ti-carbon bike. What bike brand is that?
Incredible!! I'm literally in planning mode for my cycling trip to Chiang Mai in November. I've been researching hotels in Old City. The place you're staying in looks great! I'm going to look into that too.
Are you going to do the 55 group ride on Saturday?
I’m afraid the ship has sailed for that; this video was filmed in Feb!
there are many accomodation to choose in all Thailand province, in Chiangmai not necessary to stay in the old city because of the busy traffic especially in the evening. You.may try the University area or alittle out of the central city near the chiangmai Central shopping mall. That area has many small clean resort ranging 600~800 baht to choose. The Chiangmai university area has more to offer during day or night especially in the evening more interesting rather than the old city weekendnight market. Also there is a hidden gem thai resturaunt at the hill top outside the university, only the locals know where is it which you not found in mainstream recommendation not even google. You may found in google hill top reservoir garden resturaunt but not the other resturaunt in the hidden mountain road. I had stay in northern Thailand 5~6months every year, most of Singaporean very rarely travel to the most northern town nor even the central part province or north east town. Bangkok is not the center part in Thailand, it just a busy capital city. Try travel Phetchabun province and go to Phu Thap Buek and Khao Kho district many will surprise. For cyclist try cycling in the northern province the road is fantasic for bicycle. I rode my road bike in Thailand for hoilday traveling trips and Chiangrai has the best riding experience and also the central part and the east along the mekong river.
@@tovinpoh WOW! Massive thanks for these thorough tips! This is very helpful and I'm looking into what you've mentioned. Thanks again!
welcome to CNX
Appreciate it
Looks to be great trip already; what do you use to plan your route for wahoo, Komoot or RidewithGPS?
I use strava as well for the routes, but wahoo has the added function of behaving a bit like Google maps when I suddenly decide “ok I want to go to this cafe now”, I just type in the shop name and it routes me there. Whereas for Garmin I’d have to actually create a course
Chiang Mai is that unique cycling paradise in the world. In January 2025 my 4th time there.
It’s great for us Singaporeans who live 3 hours away!
@@thewinsty yeah, I am envious 😁 I need 15-17 hours alltogether.
Try Da Nang, Vietnam for cycling as well! Also only 3 hours from Singapore. I was there last month. Great there.
PNS is very popular in Chiang Mai. a very big group there
Ah big PNS group
Did you detach your rear derailleur when using your scicon bag?
Only the first time I ever used it. After that I’ve honestly gotten quite complacent using the bike bag, merely removing the wheels and that’s it.
You never sold your Lab71? Heard the group riding Chiang mai is really good!
Bike market is pretty slow post-covid 😢
But I’m happy to keep riding it anyway! Still my best option for traveling
@@thewinstyreason for me asking is im getting this bike here tomorrow(hi mod), so been binging your channel :D but what i want to do is the same as you. im thai but live in denmark, so i need a bike i can take with me around the world, been on the TCR for that until now, and it was a good traveler also. Thank you!
let me know if you want to come ride in North Europe for tips and stuff :)
Really want to go to thailand but as a 33yr old US citizen I cant get any long term visas except the 150k$ elite visa....
Nice hard case, may i know what's the price and where to get it?
It is called BikeBoxAlan, can buy online direct from UK
Im rider in chiangmai next time you can go to my house in Sameong area
Hi did you get checking for bring cash bath?
Cash bath?
@@thewinsty yep, im google it in imigration they checking if ppl bring bath miney or not. im planing to go chiang mai but then im thinking again abut this checking bring money
how much airline charge for bike luggage?
Same price as normal baggage, for most airlines
Looks like its hot there
Is that a new bike ??
Hmm nope! Will definitely let you know if it was 😉
Next stop Da Nang, Vietnam?
Maybe after a few more times of CNX 😬
Risking your fortune bike like that in thailand maybe is not worth it
Are you been affected by the pollution ? Was in the news today.
We were there 15-19 Feb 2024
Pro, can I follow you on Strava?
