It's soo funny that you'd need to explain why you are using the Dream as apposed to upgrading. Hahaha, even if you had the money, part of the experience and draw is using what's available, being budget conscious etc. etc. It's also a clever choice as it makes it a challenge/memorable/experience (especially if things go wrong & how it's initially stressful but then you problem solve. And after that stress subsides, it becomes very rewarding & a memory.) Obviously some ppl are oblivious to A) The Budgeteers B) Backpacking on a budget/without a time limit C) Who you are as an individual. 😉 I hope you have the exciting nerves ready for the journey ahead, I am glad for you to move beyond the condo tours. 😇 Also last thing I understand why you say & the reason for it but I still can't get over all this "we" stuff. Hahaha there is not enough room in the basket for me to come along let along all of us. 😥 All the best Pads, thx for reading 👍🏻
Hi Paddy, seems like your big trip is happening soon. Please keep this Thailand emergency numbers handy, just in case: 1. Tourist Police - 1155 2. Police (General Emergency) - 191 3. Ambulance and Rescue - 1554 4. Fire Brigade - 199 5. National Disaster Warning Center - 1860 6. Crime - 1195 7. Narenthon EMS Center (Nationwide) - 1669 8. Erawan EMS Center (Bangkok area) - 1646 I wish you an enjoyable and safe journey throughout Thailand!!! (Also, if you ever in need of emergency shelter and/or water+food, find the nearest Wat (Thai temple) and ask any of the monks there for help. I believe they will try their best to help you out even if they don't speak English.)
I wish you good luck as someone who has done over 100km in Thailand by motorcycle I can say it’s going to be epic. The good old Honda we’ll be slow, safe and reliable. Most my travels here were 20 to 30 years ago on a 750 Honda. Just retired here last year and my wife had keep an old Honda Phantom for me it 200cc 16hp and 20 years old. Last month I drove it on a 1000 km trip from UdonThani to Nan Lots of back roads TopSpeed usually was around 80Kph. I was quite surprised how well it performed up in the hills just like you I had to put quite a bit of money in it to get it all dialed in it hadn’t ran in a few years so I completely went through the bike and replaced everything total cost was about 50k baht. I have been to 68 provinces and was based out of the south back then. Yala was my home base, you’re going to be pleasantly surprised when you get way down there next to the Malaysian border. When you make your way back up to Isaan we would love have you stay in a small Isaan village with us we’ll leave the light on for you..the only thing I’d have advised you to do is get a white helmet instead of black. To add character you’ll probably have that thing completely covered in stickers by the end of your trip. Maybe start with a nice reflective sticker on the back of the helmet for now, can’t wait to see your itinerary.
This is awesome, Paddy! Kudos for sticking with the old girl and prepping her for your big journey. Congrats and best of luck. Stoked to follow your adventure!
Hey Paddy, I saw your video on the budgeteers and came here, wish you the best on your journey. I'm watching this on Sunday so I suppose you're on the train. Can't wait for the videos. Godspeed and good luck.
Ignore what others say about your bike. A nice slow 100cc Honda Cub is perfect as it allows you to "stop and smell the roses". Also riding slow allows your mind to react to dangers sooner. Been there and done that on a small bike in Thailand. You'll love it
Bike’s lookin’ good! Great outlook on the next adventure ... it’s YOUR Dream! Live it as YOU choose! With you all the way! Can’t believe it’s only a week away! I’m getting really excited to see the country through your eyes! Thanks, Paddy! Going to join Patreon now! 😊🙋🏻♀️
Paddy I started watching you by accident and now I am totally hooked... Love your Honda dream and I totally agree it's the right way to travel slow and with many stops in between.
The bike is just fine. I’ve spent lots of time exploring India on a 50cc scooter. You notice much more detail driving slow!! I think it suits you. Happy Travels.
The Honda Dream will be fine Paddy. You will be able to get her fixed in ANY town that you pass through and parts are cheap and easy. It’s one of the main reasons I have not upgraded my Toyota as I can get it sorted from North to South of Thailand and up to 180 000km now with no issues.
Loving your videos and really looking forward to following your journey through Thailand's province's. Great job on the bike, bit of advice for someone who lives in Greece where temps hit 40+ in the summer get yourself a mesh seat cover, best thing, keeps you cool, protects the seat and stops you from burning your ass when getting back on the bike and it's been parked in the sun..best thing we ever put on our seat.
The title made me sad, video had me smiling ear to ear, love the pampering you did to the dream. So glad you didn't cheat on her, such a long relationship lol
Hey Paddy. I'm absolutely with you on this... The Dream is your bike, your style and is perfect for what you're trying to achieve. A big peeve of mine is that western mindset of 'newer, bigger, better'. You take that Honda and create some memories man ;)
Paddy, excited for you trip! I also love a 125cc bike, it's my preferred size overall, call me crazy. I love the upgrades you made and I think the plastic boxes are the right choice, they are a bit more bump resistant. I would like to voice two concerns if you don't mind... The first is to please get your brakes serviced, I noticed your Dream has a front drum brake, which is not the greatest option, so just to be safe please get them checked and service to make sure they are optimal. The second would be to get a full-face helmet or at least a modular flip-up. The vast majority of impacts during a crash are on the front of the face, if the worst-case scenario happens and you do have an accident it would be ideal to have that area protected. I know chicks dig scars, but you also need to protect your money maker. ;-) Other than that, have an awesome trip, be safe, and I look forward to hanging out when you get to The Big Mango!
@@PaddyDoyle. agree fully with idea studio, please get the brakes serviced or even upgraded. Members of my family used to ride these cubs, the brakes were always dodgy especially in the rain. And of course good luck for your adventure.
I think she looks fantastic! I‘m totally with you on the matter to travel with her instead of with a big bike..! The boxes, the usb, the helmet..all adds up to it being an awesome package. So cool - I‘d join you instantly. Can‘t wait for all the videos. Have a great time and travel safely 🙃✌🏼
One thing honda dream has more advantage than big bike is that every bike shop in thailand can fix it even in very rural area. If you have some problems in the rural area with your big bike, you may have to bring it to fix at a big city.
Whoop! She's lookin' proper flash. What a great explanation about why you're making this journey on a smaller bike and fab to understand your point of view. 👍
If you want to clean up that exhaust and make it look better, you can get some steel wool sos pads, add a bit of water to them and scrub the rust off. It'll definitely improve it, but the rust looks pretty bad, so it may not make it look new again.
Hey Paddy, I totally understand what you mean about not having a big expensive bike.. I would have done exactly the same.. I also love a rugged adventure.. Best of luck!
Man, I don't need to say a thing but slow travel and taking your time is the most rewarding and beautiful. Using a big Long Way style BMW touring bike would take away the fun and the challenge right? We grow most from a struggle and challenge so take that beautiful fucking bike and watch every pebble of dirt pass you by...every sunset flickering through the trees and every crazy bastard with eggs on a stick... And have the best time ❤️
New subscriber here Paddy, all the best mate on your tour, i like the bike, sometimes folks won't understand that you have to make the best with what you have and you have a good bike. Take care.
Paddy, you've just earned yourself a new subscriber from CHICAGO USA. I love watching new adventure biking (big or small bikes) on TH-cam. This is gonna be Awesome. Cheers for now!!
Congratulations on your newly upgraded bike, Paddy! Looks fabulous! Excited to virtually come along on your adventures! Next up - your own TukTuk! Budgeteers Series 4 showed you are a natural in one!
My dream would be a Honda Dream like bike with ABS brakes. Unfortunately for me, once you get used you breaking with it, you'll just crash without (front tire blocking up) :/ In addition to another comment: I would also recommend a full face helmet, helps a lot with keeping the teeth in place. Also proper gloves, because of the reflex to support oneself if crashing. Anyway, looking forward to the series!
Those bikes are amazing. They never die. I had one of those bikes and it was great. Have a great trip. Can't wait to watch your trip. Dan from Australia
So excited to see you finally getting to the start line , Charlie boorman and Evan McGregor will be looking on dissapointed they weren't asked to join you 😂, have a great adventure mate were all jealous as hell , show us what the parts of Thailand we never get to are really like 👍👍👍
I just came back from a 6854 km trip around Thailand. I did it on a 100 cc Honda Wave, which has now 377,000 km and is nearly 19 years old ( or young )... I didn't do the whole country. The deep south is still on my list.
sawadee krap Paddy, I can expect your sub numbers soaring during your upcoming epic trip through that wonderful kingdom that so many of us love and also miss. ;-]. Safe travels. I'll be watching for sure. ;-]
Yes, it's an adventure and more importantly, it's your adventure! Do it how you think best and we'll tag along for the ride. While I honestly don't wish you any problems, I'm interested to see how the bike holds up and how you keep her on the road or deal with any mechanical issues along the way. I may even be inspired to follow in your tyre tracks one day... Thanks for another great video, I'm looking forward to the planning one too.
@@rightshipping3600 motorcyclists are human flesh wrapping metal vs (other vehicle types) metal wrapping human flesh. Paddy might be a safe rider but it just take one crazy driver to send him flying.
She looks amazing ❤️ 2 suggestions for you Paddy , Firstly a net to cover you’re basket because we all know what happened to you’re hoody ...... this way you’ll keep everything safe in your basket 😊 You know what element would look amazing? Paddy Doyle logo running down the length of the front fairing 😉😉😉😉 Absolutely love the upgrades she looks really cool .
Psshhh don't listen to the haters about the bike!! Our first bike in Thailand was a Honda Scoopy little 125 thing with 2 of us on it!! Perfect ride for Thailand screw the big bikes!! We have never needed more than 175 CCs in Thailand!! The dream looks great!
It’s almost a super club, I would’ve gone for the click 125i just cause the fuel tank is bigger for longer distance. Either way your bike is super, I like it’s classic looks.
I totally agree that it´s much cooler and nicer with old and small things. Me and my friend drove from Sweden throw 18 countries in an 30 year old Nissan Micra. (One of the smallest car in the world) I have never had so much fun in my life.
Looks great. I am looking into shipping my bike over so it is there when I move as soon as I can this summer. I am heading to Chiang Mei a 3 - 4 month test of living there as I told you in your condo review with Ice. I want something more substantial and the one I own is too expensive to buy in Thailand so shipping my bike makes sense. I have the BMW c650GT.
Be careful with the USB port, if its wired straight to the battery it will drain it believe it or not, best wired to the ignition. good luck on your journey.
Yay! This is going to be so exciting. I'm so happy for you, and can't wait to see the life changing experiences that are awaiting you along your journey. Don't forget to pack a Rain Coat, and some Toilet Tissue as well. 😉 Happy trails, Paddy! Be safe, stay happy, and most importantly have the time of your life! BTW: We're all here with you, so if you need anything along the way, don't hesitate to ask... We got your back!! 😊
Hi Paddy, love your vlogs! Just found your channel and you’ve convinced me to want to visit and or possibly live there. Regarding your bike above all it’s inexpensive to maintain. Live within your means it’s what’s been instilled in me by my mom. Just wondering in all your travels and adventures, where or what is recommended to own and live, condo or house that’s decent and safe, not too expensive and may be close to everything. Clubs not important. Street food places, local markets, beach close by but not overly important. Thanks!
Really enjoying your channel and look forward to seeing your trip . Are you planning to head to Kampaeng Phet there is an amazing historical park . Safe travels
Nice adaptations, looks good. The seat really did need changing didn’t it 🤣 Good luck with the final prep, and that last day at school is going to feel weird I bet - the adventure really starts then 🙏😎😎
Bloody love you Paddy. I’m so excited for you and can’t wait to see your journey. Man, I wish I was back there... Thailand really feels like my 2nd home... anyway, ride safe and looking forward to your awesome content ❤️
I seriously cannot wait to start watching your vlogs on your next travel around Thailand. Really looking forward to you showing/visiting those hidden gems of provinces that exist that I’m unaware off. Bikes looking great 👍 Question for you, if your talking about doing a bike tour around Thailand, why you starting off the journey on the train haha, why not just bike it? Think of the adventures and shenanigans and great undiscovered places, towns and villages you could be missing out on by sitting on a train.
The USB port is going to flatten your battery 🔋 bikes on barely charge themselves as it is. Any drain on it can only be in emergency 🆘 or your going to wake up to leave somewhere frequently in the morning and the bike will be flat.

Good luck mate, I've done every province by bicycle, try that next !
Nice one!
Paddy highly recommend a full face helmet, that helmet won’t do any protection if your going at speed.
In 40% of crashes, you will hit chin area. Keep your chin and get a full face helmet.
good advice!
His max is 20 MPH, so not to worry 🤣
Stone protection

Looks great Paddy. Do as you see fit mate. Can’t wait for the journey. Take care 🙏
Cheers 😌
Love the tortie cat in the video 🐈❤️
I do too
Hi Paddy, love your vlogs! Just found your channel and you’ve convinced me to want to visit and or possibly live there. Regarding your bike above all it’s inexpensive to maintain. Live within your means it’s what’s been instilled in me by my mom.
Just wondering in all your travels and adventures, where or what is recommended to own and live, condo or house that’s decent and safe, not too expensive and may be close to everything. Clubs not important. Street food places, local markets, beach close by but not overly important. Thanks!
Really enjoying your channel and look forward to seeing your trip . Are you planning to head to Kampaeng Phet there is an amazing historical park . Safe travels
Eventually
Can't believe you're having difficulty 'getting your leg over' in Thailand... LOL
Nice adaptations, looks good. The seat really did need changing didn’t it 🤣 Good luck with the final prep, and that last day at school is going to feel weird I bet - the adventure really starts then 🙏😎😎
it really does!
Bloody love you Paddy. I’m so excited for you and can’t wait to see your journey. Man, I wish I was back there... Thailand really feels like my 2nd home... anyway, ride safe and looking forward to your awesome content ❤️
Can't wait! thanks Emma
The best small bike. Honda Dream.
we wait and see your new video in thailand😍🇰🇭
tomorrow :)
Looking forward! Love your style!
Thanks 😌
Gorgeous philosophy Paddy! We all like being comfortable and rushing through shit. Take it easy, enjoy the ride. The bike looks great!!
thanks so much!!!!
I seriously cannot wait to start watching your vlogs on your next travel around Thailand. Really looking forward to you showing/visiting those hidden gems of provinces that exist that I’m unaware off. Bikes looking great 👍
Question for you, if your talking about doing a bike tour around Thailand, why you starting off the journey on the train haha, why not just bike it? Think of the adventures and shenanigans and great undiscovered places, towns and villages you could be missing out on by sitting on a train.
don't worry the train is just the means for us to get down to the very bottom and THEN it begins!
Awesome dude!
Thanks 😊
The bike looks great Paddy! But I think it is missing one thing....one the side boxes...Paddy Doyle stickers!!! (just saying) 🤞🏍
Coming soon ☺️
The USB port is going to flatten your battery 🔋 bikes on barely charge themselves as it is. Any drain on it can only be in emergency 🆘 or your going to wake up to leave somewhere frequently in the morning and the bike will be flat.
Lookin’ good👍🏻
Thanks dude
Im going to rent one next time I come.
Good luck ☘️ , man. The Dream’s looking the business. Never had man more love than for his trusty moto-steed
🤙
Looking forward to your journey paddy.not long now the bikes looking good
You and me both!
