FUCKIN SICK VIDEOS DUDE. IM BINGE WATCHING ALL THE PLAYLISTS - brings back a lot of memories of my years in Thailand. Honestly bro. The content. Editing and general videos are fuckin sick !
When we did this loop it was in May. It was smoky AF. Most of the vistas were non existent. Seeing your video during monsoon season looked much better. The rains cleared the air beautifully. Thanks fir posting these types of videos you do a great job.
What a great tour. Thank you, Chad. Your contributions are invaluable for just the right types of people. The "ambassadors," if you will. Long may you run (I don't give that blessing to many).
Hey Chad, “hands down” the best series of travel Vlogs about Thailand I’ve seen. I was so looking forward to this episode and now the series is over, I’m sort of sad. The adventure, excitement, your great commentary and enthusiasm were fantastic. Thanks very much for all the great filming, editing and hard work you put into this series.I think I’ll binge on the whole series again. Now I can’t wait for your next high adventure. Totally addicted to your channel. Thank you for bringing Thailand to us, since we can’t go to Thailand. All the very best to you. Peace!!✌️✌️✌️
P.S. Are you sure while your there, you don’t want to grab that bigger bike, have some me time and do the loop clockwise? No work, just enjoy those “sweet curves” and have another slice of Pai !! 👍👍
Agreed, this series put Thailand on the radar for me as an awesome vacation spot and a motorcycle tour with a good friend is definitely on my bucket list!
Your going off the beaten path has become my favorite thing that you do. Your experiences and observations about them are the heart and soul of your Thai vlogs. Thanks, Chad! More please.
I’m Thai and live in Las Vegas. I love your videos and the comments. You’re definitely getting the most out of being there. You’ve seen and done more than I ever had. Good for you. 👍👍👍
Getting off the beaten path is solid advice. On our travels we have done that several times. One of our best times in Thailand was a little 3 bar city center way off the beach. No where near a tourist area. So fun.
Chad, I'm a FEMALE and love your videos! My husband and I are both subscribers and enjoy your content: cars, travel, off the paths, night life and of course the many dogs you've met! Keep it up!
I would recommend that you used a Honda Fozza or similar these are automatic large type scooters 300 cc and up to 500 cc but not easy to find places that rent these scooters and also they cost a lot more than a 125 - 155 cc to rent and also to repair if you crash or damage one.
The Forza 300 is a great bike, and perfect for that loop, as it’s nicely balanced. There are quite a few shops that rent them around the moat in Chiang Mai.
@@CBMedia404 I can tell you are a very experienced motorcycle rider and I agree that the Forza 300cc is the way to go for the extra power needed on those snake like mountain roads. I have ridden similar roads in Thailand and as you said before you got be aware of rounding a bend only to meet a pickup head on on your side of the road on a larger bike you might be going a little bit faster which reduces your time to react to the situation and the bigger bike is also heavier and less nimble. Something worth thinking about I really love your you tube videos some of them are very thought provoking especially the ones showing the local villagers lives and how you don't need tons of money or possessions to be contented all the best to you.
I enjoyed watching the Mae Hong Son Loop Series. Brings back memories! I did the loop in 5 days, and I agree, spending more time near the towns Mae Hong Son and Pai is a great idea for some exploring and actually getting some rest. I did the loop clockwise and the first day from Chiang Mai to Mae Sariang, a stop at Doi Inthanon included, took me 8 hours! Looking forward for your next vids!
I really dig your no-nonsense, practical, common sense advice. You give a tip and then explain the reasoning behind it. Superb. And you're really well spoken for a hillbilly lol. Doing great brother, keep it up.
Great video as always and I agree...slow touring is the way to go! Take time to see the small details, nooks and crannies that others pass by. Because those are the things I remember the most fondly.
Anybody in their 20's-30's and going to visit....this is the best channel. Excellent trip and perspective...Wonder if you ever met Harold Baldr as you both have great attitudes with...the visits.
Finally watched this series. This series was incredible. Amazing views and roads. I love that you show all the things that don't go as planned. Keep up the awesome work!
I enjoy every video. If you rush things, you'll miss a lot. Your point of taking time is a very valid one. Stay safe and I can't wait to see what you have planned next.
It"s been said but the Honda Forza 300 would be a nice coup....probably hard to find a rental...great vid, great series as always...you be careful and stay safe...I'd offer more travel tips but I can't remember...no. 3 or no.4 ??...later...
Great advice on going clockwise...💯 Also the advice on 10 days. Been in the bike for 5-6 hours before...it rough. I hope to be in Thailand by my Birthday end of October to vlog...if it opens up 👣
I love how you always have a “Plan B” up your sleeves. It’s all about improvising. Safe trip back to Bangkok and look up “coffee girl” near Icon Siam 👍
Hey Chad, a Subscriber from the Philippines! Soo stoked to be able to binge watch this motor trip series of yours. As a previous Sales Manager I get to travel by land for my work and I get to go through almost the same scenery, roads, turns, bad weather, and craaaazy drivers on blind turns as you just did and man has it helped me alot as because this "situation" actually got me down and like I'm now stuck at home almost 24/7. Such a bummer. But dude as I watched you ride your motor bike and it's like I was immersed on being in a road trip with you, cruising along the hi-way (to hell, lol) and just enjoying the trip. It is amaaaazing! Again, Thank you for the content! Love it! Cheers to your channel!
Thanks for doing our thing! ...I loved this series, inspite if the mishaps lol. My wife and I visit Thailand annually, and after watching we BOTH added the drive to our list of things to do in the future! Great job, my friend!
Greetings from Melbourne Australia! We stumbled upon your channel a few weeks back and found your videos very entertaining. We love Thailand and are happy that even though we aren’t able to travel at the moment, at least we can see Thailand through your videos. Looking forward to see where you go to next - cheers!
Great trip, glad you took us along. You are so right, the trip from Mae Sariang to CM sucks, that is why we just ride to Pai now & spend a week there as we have done the loop a few times. The view you got to enjoy by yourself above the Micowave Village is far better that the view from top of Doi Ithanon with the crowds. You didn't miss a thing. Safe travels !!!
Great advice, bro. I can feel it that it is coming from your experience and the bottom of your heart. Awesome job with the longer videos also. It was a real treat. I am glad you made it safe through the trip.
Love your work Chad, best vlogger in Thailand by far. A great variety of content and always entertaining. I'd love to buy you a beer when the "situation " is finally over.
Great series. Looking forward to whatever you've got planned next. Whether it's another trip, or just randomly walking through Bangkok, it's always enjoyable.
Loved the entire tour, even when things went wrong, it's was better than what most of us are experiencing. This was a great escape for those of use stuck in US with the insanity of America today.
So disappointing that you couldn't go OR take a photo! Wow. That's crazy. The "Microwave " village was very touching and makes you realize how lucky we are. Thank you for sharing.
Chad next trip hire yourself a honda forza. I used one when i did my chiang mai trip and it was awesome. The forza is 300cc and has way better suspension and seating and also disc brakes front and rear. Had no issues sitting on 130km/h on the straight roads. Loving the videos btw. Keep the content coming
Always best content with you Chad, even when you have fails. You can always turn it around. Glad you were able to knock something off your bucket list. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
11:05 Chad, The North Coast 500 in Scotland (UK) is exactly the same, Anti Clockwise always...Never end a road trip on a low, always end with the best scenery and roads. Thoroughly enjoying your journeys.
Love your emotion and humor! Can't wait for your next trip. Bummer about Inthanon park. I was there about 20 years ago. Epic views! But, some of your other scenery and views a couple episodes ago were right up there with the best. All the best to you from San Diego, CA
Thanks for a great series. Totally agree re Pai. We went there for 3 days and ended up staying 10. Looking forward to doing the whole loop in a couple of years.
Great Vid, my wife and I have been to Thailand 22 times but never seen the places you show us, we are talking about going over as soon as “The Situation” allows hiring a 4 wheel drive ( shed love to motorbike but I’ve never driven one and at 65 too old to start) and doing this exact trip, but clockwise like you suggest. Good luck and keep it up, an evening with CB video is something we both enjoy and look forward too.
Nice ...I enjoyed it...love the little temple right in the middle of "somewhere"..the filming when you are whizzing around the roads & bends in particular is enjoying..feels like I am on the bike for a moment..safe trip back to BKK.
Chad is a minimalist and only uses his iPhone, which is amazing in itself. But yeah, a wireless lav mic with a dead cat would go a long way to bringing up the production value. (Comica BoomX-D)
Thanks for this tour video's Chad, just started watching your old video's, since i am only subscribed for the last 3 months, thanks for al the great stuff dude 💪

CB thanks for the mini vacation. You said it was 12 days but for me it felt like a couple hours. he he. Hands down mother trucker fails or not some of the best travel vlogs I have seen anywhere. Great content dude.
Honda Forza 300cc .... wonderful cruiser ... had one in Koh Lanta and it was fast, powerful for hills but I wouldn't want you to 100% throttle one Dude
Just finished the whole playlist and listened to your top 5 tips. I've done the MHS Loop maybe a dozen times, always on proper bikes not scooters, so going a bit faster on the roads than you. Longest was 4 days, usually 2. I look at what you saw, and in total from 12 laps I think you've seen more than I have. I'm time limited because I'm have limited time off work. Now, I've explored right out into the Golden Triangle a lot, but definitely something for me to consider for future trips.
Just binge watched this entire road trip. Thanks for the incredible content and your unique perspective. I'm going to go check out your Issan tour now.
You are making very cool videos- thank you for that! I used to live in Thailand 10 years ago and when I'm nostalgic- I'm watching your videos:) In 1 video about Koh Samui I recognized a person I know, it was so sweet:)
Friend of mine just did Mae Hong Son on a Honda Forza. 300cc, much more comfortable, more storage & super modern bike. Still automatic, 0-60 in 6 seconds, top speed nearly 100mph. He managed to rent for 400 baht per day
Hi Chad great vid again!! Dude bang the gong!! its good luck and it tells the "spirits" your here.. this is why you hear vehicles beeping when they go past those "little shrines" its to wake up the spirits and tell them you remember them...also remember "never ride faster than your angel can fly"...
These motorbike tours are legit. Seriously makes me want to try one once the borders are opened again for tourists. The "situation" seriously has me pissed and missing Thailand.
I did the loop last November and one stop was the Doi Inthanon peak. You didn't miss much, it was very anti-climatic. There was no scenic view because there are trees all over the place. The only thing to do was to take a picture in front of a sign that says it is the highest spot in Thailand. I agree with you that Pai was the highlight of the loop. Great video and great tips. Thanks!
This was a blast, you’ve inspired me to take a motorbike tour. Can’t wait to get out there. Keep up the great work Chad! How about making some videos in Chiang Mai for a bit?
@@matrimonyfilms November is definately the ideal time, to much into January and everything is starting to die off an go brown, the waterfalls are drying up. I don't know how you can message from within TH-cam, but happy to help if you can get any questions to me.
I did the loops on honda pcx 250, pcx 125 and forza 300, which are all fine for the job. You only might need more power if you are riding 2-up. You really don't need/can't use power of big bikes, our average speed was around 40 km/h, lots of stops and used from 3 to 8 days per loop.
Chad another high quality video, a great camera u use i assume. I gotta get to Pai one day to the Nui Mexican Cafe. I’m Just stuck in canada with “ our situation” and unable to travel and wishing i could be in Thailand travelling. Two of ur great videos is the hang glider and the power boat in the river in Bangkok those two episodes are epic . Your channel is the highlight of my days thanks for the great videos
Just got back Bangkok to 2 videos after the long weekend spent in Ao Yong in Phuket! Some lovely winding roads and hills and beautiful beaches! Thanks for the vids Chad, its nice to find someone on TH-cam not vlogging about gogobars and walking streets!
I was there maybe 10 years ago driving through the hills with a lower layer of fog with maybe 50' visibility slowly making our way up hill when all of a sudden we broke through the fog and into the sunshine and pulled over to take some of the best pictures of my life, mountain tops sticking up from the fog with gilded temple spires glistening in the sun. Truly Magical.
Cheers Chad, another great vlog, stay safe on that bike, I'll agree about meeting locals on your trips, great craic and you learn something new every day, brilliant
That trip was great shows and interesting places , sorry it’s over , but I’m sure you’re next adventure will top any of them !! Great channel lad , thanks for the hard work allowing us to travel with you !! 👍👍👍
Thank you for your posts, I'm actually living through your videos for outings while in lock down here in Melbourne Australia. Missing Thailand lots though.

Love the Mae Hong Son tour. Surprisingly, one of the things standing out for me is those thousand 'hello' from the mountain school kids.
Hahha same it was awesome
Thanks for being my vacation Chad. You really are helping me get past the “Situation”.
I was literally sitting ready with a beer refreshing myself and TH-cam waiting,hoping, on a new video! Cheeers !

I've done the MHS Loop maybe a dozen times, always on proper bikes not scooters, so going a bit faster on the roads than you. Longest was 4 days, usually 2. I look at what you saw, and in total from 12 laps I think you've seen more than I have.
I'm time limited because I'm have limited time off work. Now, I've explored right out into the Golden Triangle a lot, but definitely something for me to consider for future trips.
Awesome, thanks for watching dude.
Just binge watched this entire road trip. Thanks for the incredible content and your unique perspective. I'm going to go check out your Issan tour now.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching 🙂
You are making very cool videos- thank you for that! I used to live in Thailand 10 years ago and when I'm nostalgic- I'm watching your videos:) In 1 video about Koh Samui I recognized a person I know, it was so sweet:)
Friend of mine just did Mae Hong Son on a Honda Forza. 300cc, much more comfortable, more storage & super modern bike. Still automatic, 0-60 in 6 seconds, top speed nearly 100mph. He managed to rent for 400 baht per day
Hi Chad great vid again!! Dude bang the gong!! its good luck and it tells the "spirits" your here.. this is why you hear vehicles beeping when they go past those "little shrines" its to wake up the spirits and tell them you remember them...also remember "never ride faster than your angel can fly"...
These motorbike tours are legit. Seriously makes me want to try one once the borders are opened again for tourists. The "situation" seriously has me pissed and missing Thailand.
I did the loop last November and one stop was the Doi Inthanon peak. You didn't miss much, it was very anti-climatic. There was no scenic view because there are trees all over the place. The only thing to do was to take a picture in front of a sign that says it is the highest spot in Thailand. I agree with you that Pai was the highlight of the loop. Great video and great tips. Thanks!
This was a blast, you’ve inspired me to take a motorbike tour. Can’t wait to get out there. Keep up the great work Chad! How about making some videos in Chiang Mai for a bit?
Do it! You won’t regret it. And I would love too, I’ll be back there after rainy season. Expect some videos on Chiang Mai in November or December
CB Media OK!! Can’t wait!! If things open up I’ll be there in November as well!!
@@matrimonyfilms November is definately the ideal time, to much into January and everything is starting to die off an go brown, the waterfalls are drying up.
I don't know how you can message from within TH-cam, but happy to help if you can get any questions to me.
I subscribed a couple weeks ago and can only enjoy your trips from my chair. health stuff going on. Very good stuff. Be safe.
I did the loops on honda pcx 250, pcx 125 and forza 300, which are all fine for the job. You only might need more power if you are riding 2-up. You really don't need/can't use power of big bikes,
our average speed was around 40 km/h, lots of stops and used from 3 to 8 days per loop.
Chad another high quality video, a great camera u use i assume. I gotta get to Pai one day to the Nui Mexican Cafe. I’m Just stuck in canada with “ our situation” and unable to travel and wishing i could be in Thailand travelling. Two of ur great videos is the hang glider and the power boat in the river in Bangkok those two episodes are epic . Your channel is the highlight of my days thanks for the great videos
Just got back Bangkok to 2 videos after the long weekend spent in Ao Yong in Phuket! Some lovely winding roads and hills and beautiful beaches! Thanks for the vids Chad, its nice to find someone on TH-cam not vlogging about gogobars and walking streets!
I was there maybe 10 years ago driving through the hills with a lower layer of fog with maybe 50' visibility slowly making our way up hill when all of a sudden we broke through the fog and into the sunshine and pulled over to take some of the best pictures of my life, mountain tops sticking up from the fog with gilded temple spires glistening in the sun. Truly Magical.
Cheers Chad, another great vlog, stay safe on that bike, I'll agree about meeting locals on your trips, great craic and you learn something new every day, brilliant
Went Chiang Mai, & Chiang Rai a couple of years ago, loved it! Will have to go back and check out the route you took on this trip! Thanks Chad!
That trip was great shows and interesting places , sorry it’s over , but I’m sure you’re next adventure will top any of them !! Great channel lad , thanks for the hard work allowing us to travel with you !! 👍👍👍
Loved your Mae Hong Son Motorbike Tour series mate. Cheers
Thank you for your posts, I'm actually living through your videos for outings while in lock down here in Melbourne Australia. Missing Thailand lots though.
