    I cycled 7500 miles just doing laps of Thailand last march. Was the best time ever! Wish I could go back

    Thailand is an amazing country and i enjoyed livin in Cape Panwa Phuket for a year which best time of my life on a boat.You make cycling look easy but must be tough in heat,traffic,dehydration😊

    Thanks for sharing! 👍 Makes a nice change from the thousands of lookalike TH-camrs vids on Thailand 👏 Really enjoyed parts of Thailand that seems to be frozen in time and hardly touched by tourism. Good on ya

    My first trip on my Troll was BKK to Cha Am i thought i could do it in 1 day, had to pull up 30km short. That was more a lesson in hydration than a tour but i loved it, my Favourte part of Thai is West. Planning to get a packraft next year so many beautiful waterways to bikeraft. Take care guys love the channel

    • @weridebikesplaces
      @weridebikesplaces  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      How good! Heading south from BKK is an absolute dream! Yeah we love the west coast too, so many nice little islands to explore. I was thinking a bikeraft trip would be epic in Thailand! I'd be interested to see where you end up. Cheers, glad your enjoying the vids 😀

    Great video. I'm thinking of cycling southern Thailand from Bangkok in Jan 2025. Did you guys get off the plane at Bangkok airport, assemble your bikes from bike boxes at the airport, and then ride off?

    • @weridebikesplaces
      @weridebikesplaces  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hi, thanks! Yeah, we rode straight out of don mueng airport, which was pretty easy. It might be a bit harder if you're landing at Suvarnabhumi, but they do have the SkyTrain, you'd have to check the bike rules for that.

    • @weridebikesplaces
      @weridebikesplaces  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It's not as bad as you'd think. From Don Mueng, you just have to do a little bit of freeway, then you can cross on an overpass, and get to some quieter back roads that take you down to Khao San area. There's a route GPS link in the video description 👍

    I stayed at Kra Buri Pier the other night... what a shithole lolol, no fridge rock hard bed with a bedbug ridden throw over no sheets, it was a fisheries wharf with a narrow street of slum like shacks and stalls.. In Chumphon tonight heading along the coastline to HuaHin over the next 3 days.. Chiang Mai and follow the border down to the bottom and cross through Cambodia and follow the borders all around Vietnam, then same Laos then of to Nepal ...

    Hi guys, your vids are great! I’ll be arriving in Phuket end of October and had intended to ride back to Bangkok on the east coast. But this video has inspired me to consider the west. Are your rides public on Komoot? If so what’s your profile name 👍 Cheers
