Not telling parents you ride is big SEA energy. Did the same before I had my license finished. 🇹🇭 Mom’s reaction was priceless; “Uh, motorcycles are dangerous. What bike have you bought then? Yamaha? I had a Vespa GTS as I had style. You are a simple man like your uncle.”
Thank you for sharing this experience, i also ride an MT09 and its not really meant for long haul rides. The crosswinds really takes a toll on ur body and i know how u felt on that trip. Me personally id would have taken a day or 2 to rest in between while moving up north. Anyways kudos to you bro and ride safe always.
Thanks for sharing and inspiring bro. I should get out of my comfort zone and confront my fear of riding that distance alone. It’s definitely time. Ride safe my friend!
0:37 The singer of this beautiful song had died 6 months ago. His voice express the feeling of missing beloved one really well. Thai songs in this video are really nice. Welcome to Thailand brother.
Hi Ben, I really enjoyed living vicariously through your solo touring video. I quit riding for a few years and actually just purchased an MT09 to ride because I missed the feeling of riding and the freedom. Glad to have found your channel! Hope to bump into you on SG roads one day.
@@Notsurewhattoputlol Would have love to go riding again if not for my wife. Enjoy and have a safe trip. Btw, your spoken Thai is good. Think I lost mine a long time ago. Haha
I want to ride to my hometown from SG. east of Bangkok at a rural place in the province of Sisaket. Seeing you ride like that.. I feel like I can. just need proper planning
I went up in end October 2023, solo too. All the way to Chiang Mai. Took 5 days to go up to CMai. I am a caveman , I don't ride at night. Too dangerous. Rode 4 day from Pai/MHS area. Great fun. Took 5 days to come home to SG. Thanks for sharing!!
if i had a month to travel up north i'd stop and check out a few places in malaysia too! makes the entire trip alot more fun without that first 900+kms 😇. thanks for sharing the vid!
Subscribed! Love how you show us your bike journeys. I hope to travel outside of SG with my husband on his e-bike. Not sure if Thailand has chargers for e-motorbikes. Plus, language barrier. I wonder if both me and my husband can wander over to Thailand with our e-bike
i did the ride up last year oct. it was great but abit rush because i only manage to take 6 days leave from my workplace. awesome video bro ! ride safe !!!
@@sornglor555hi Ben great video. I’m heading up next week to Thailand. It’s my first trip on a bike and solo. I have a question. at the Thai border do we need the true copy log card from Lta with the stamp , or can I just print from onemotoring. ?
Since 2002 all my trips Thailand & beyon r solo except on 2 occasions. Prefer to ride alone, I get to stop whenever I want, eat at any venue I prefer & stay in any location I wish. Singapore to Hat Yai on the 1st day is pretty standard for most SG riders, don't really enjoy highway riding on NSH.
Nice video and ride bro! I just did KL trip recently. Next will plan Thailand. Can you let me know which border crossing you took from Malaysia to Thailand. Thanks!
bike setup nothing much, only one duffel bag on pillion seat. then a top box. As for what I pack maybe I will do a video on it for next trip. Hard to type hahah
i have filled up petrol in Malaysia my whole life and never once i need to pay deposit. Weird. I normally just wave at them to "open" the pump and fill then pay
before the custom will have many insurance shop. can settle everything there, including sim card. hotel all book on the way as didn't plan for the trip so not sure where I will end up each day
I don't know how you do it, that your parents don't know you ride, and you have an MT09? LOL.🤣 This is not some 2B bike... this is nearly 3 years of secrecy. Hahaha... Stay safe on the roads!
hmm if is the sleepiness due to hot weather, i stop every 1hr for petrol and freshen up there. If the fatigue due to riding long hours, recommend just stop at a town, chill for the night and continue next day haha. Shouldnt rush for a road trip. For me, cause i didnt try before so didnt know how long it takes. When I came back, i took a stop at Ipoh.
Good vdo bro. Can I ask how u get the motorycle insurance covered in Thailand? (Not the Thai 3rd party), cos most insurers in Singapore cover till West Malaysia, from 50/80 km border of Thai/Malaysia
Bro, why no gloves ? It’s a crucial part of safety gear. If you fall, your natural instinct is to put out your palm to protect yourself. With gloves, it will save you a potential hand surgery
@@sornglor555 thx man!! Looking forward for your upcoming videos! Came across your tiktok… you’ve changed to tracer 900 now, time for another ride up north soon? Hehe
woa is tiktok and youtube linked? yes just changed to tracer because this trip made me realise i needed the windshield hahaha. Maybe end of year another ride up? 🤭@@asyrafsalam4214
5555 😂 just a random uncle riding harley. i thought i made a mistake so i didnt argue. Only when i went to pay, then i realise he couldnt even pump yet 😅

My ride to Thailand was at year 2001. We spent a total 6 month. The best experience of my life.
I envy you, man. 6- month travelling is heaven and definitely unforgettable experience!

Nice that you are back to riding 🫢👍🏻 see u on the roads

Tenang sangat video ni 🤗
damn so far 😭 last time i stay in malaysia and takes only 2 hours to reach Hatyai. Good times. Every week go hatyai, sometimes to betong.
woww sounds like quite fun 😆
Amazing bro! Always wanted to ride up to Thailand but didn't have the courage. Hopefully, I'll do it one day!
nice video! thanks for bringing us along. love the BGM lol
Well done, dude. All the best in your future trips
Nice ride. I did a solo in 12 hrs back in '84. Then no NSHW but the old roads.
old school... no GPS also haha. respect.
@@Notsurewhattoputlol Would have love to go riding again if not for my wife. Enjoy and have a safe trip. Btw, your spoken Thai is good. Think I lost mine a long time ago. Haha
I ride solo every month to IPOH on my Tracer 900 GT and that's already tiring. You went to Thailand in a day...hats off to you bro.
When i came back i stopped by Ipoh 1 night. Going there in a day only because I didnt know how tiring it would be 😂
I want to ride to my hometown from SG. east of Bangkok at a rural place in the province of Sisaket. Seeing you ride like that.. I feel like I can. just need proper planning
You should do it! really an experience for me 😊
@@sornglor555 wait. U are also Ben. So are you also thai? Haha

@@sornglor555 aye... I saw your tiktok. Your pronounciation can pass for a thai man... Good job

This deserved a subscription! I have short attention span BUT i managed to watch your video till the end! Nicely done sir.
Thanks for the subscribe! Hope you enjoy the rest of the episodes too 😊
Rode once to hz in group qnd took a few days to rch as we stop by afew places in Msia... I should try one solo trip too... Thank you for the video
6hr from Sg To Thailand boarder is fast. Tat means average 160km/h. Some more every 100+km need pump petrol.
i don't think he did it in 6hrs haha. Technically impossible LOL.

I freaking love this POV. I can sense the excitement when you reached TH!
Thanks for the encouragement 😊🙏🏻 better videos coming up!
Seeing your excitments when you enter Thailand exites me as well as a Thai person! also great music choices.

@@djkitsg1611 Hi, I also read that online. but don't need. I just print logcard. no stamp or anything.
Knew a guy who did 1 day trip SG-sadao-SG in his FZ1.
Lol

i dont enjoy the NSH the most 😂
Nice bro!
Next time bring wise debit card. Pay at pump, like that your bike will not be unattended since you do solo ride.
OH MY GOALS can I go with you on your next trip pls!
vroom vroom 🏍🛵? hahaha
YOLO...nice video!
Yeah that is a long way on a naked bike man haha. Windshield makes a big difference to how tired the body gets.
Nice video and ride bro! I just did KL trip recently. Next will plan Thailand. Can you let me know which border crossing you took from Malaysia to Thailand. Thanks!
bukit kayu hitam, since its the easiest and my first time 😅
mind sharing the song that starts from 2:00 mark?
Awesome Bro! Happy for you.. :)
Nice song. Can i know what is the song name on 1.48😀
Would love to know your bike setup and what you pack for your long trip
bike setup nothing much, only one duffel bag on pillion seat. then a top box. As for what I pack maybe I will do a video on it for next trip. Hard to type hahah
i wanna do a solo trip...
Nice video. Should have put up a night in Dannok and enjoy your life there 😂😂😂
Is there noch coastal road in Malaysia with some scenic views and curves?
Im sure there are but Im not too sure exactly where too haha
When will u be going for your next ride
Hi ben, if you ever ride to the eastern Thailand/Cambodia,can you check if the access to Cambodia preah vihear temple via inside Thailand. Thanks
Hi, did u follow the Google map direction or any alternate route to avoid the KL jam (when u pass by KL).
@@joshwong78 I got advice from a seasoned rider to just follow the Ipoh sign board, then you will skip the KL jam
@@sornglor555 thank u very much.
Interesting music, can you add links to it please?
Can check out my playlists:
Camping by the River
or
Take me there
i have filled up petrol in Malaysia my whole life and never once i need to pay deposit. Weird. I normally just wave at them to "open" the pump and fill then pay
Woah how many hours did it take to reach Thailand?
1 Day Hatyai, 5days to reach Chiangmai 😅 This trip purpose was to enjoy the cold season in the North 😁
Insurance cost? Was that Sadao/Padang Besar Checkpoint?
Hey, what phone mount are you using? Your phone camera seems to be working fine with this long rides
@@klzx5277 mwupp octopus
Hi bro can share the tip for purchase insurance for bike to thai and did u book the hotel b4 u went there ? Tks
before the custom will have many insurance shop. can settle everything there, including sim card. hotel all book on the way as didn't plan for the trip so not sure where I will end up each day

haha I think I will maybe show them this playlist once all the videos are out 😂 reveal after 6years of riding 555
If u don't mind, lets ride to thailand together next time brother..
why your entrance at Tuas checkpoint so good while many other riders (malaysian) lining up to go Johor??
i think they are coming in, 6am in the morning 😅
do you feel safe over there with you bike ? honest unloaded question
Thailand yes feel safe. Malaysia sometimes will worry 😅
what camera for such long battery life?
DJI Action 4, I added the link in the description 😊
can link up with u ben next time. im from jb btw...
Sure, u can DM me on other socials in the description below 😊
hi, along the way, if feel sleepy, where do we nap?

I got all my insurance and paperworks done at the shops right before the msia thai custom haha
@@sornglor555 ah, that's good to know. Khob khun krub
Using Paywave at the petrol kiosk saves so much trouble. Just tap, pump and go.
Going solo to Phuket on my VFR in 3 weeks time.
You ride so long and yet managed to keep from your parents?? HAHAHA congrats for making this trip.
🤫

Nice simple video..I dont ride bike but bicycle and enjoy doing trips like this on it

Jealousy here from the Philippines! Ya'll can literally ride to another country and visit other cultures!
wow bro what do u work as can take 1 month leave hahaha.
Episode 7 has reveal 🤭
Hi! Can please share documents needed for solo rider entering thailand? Is it just TM2 form, logcard and vehicle insurance? Thanks!
Hello, preparation wise just the physical logcard. All the other paperworks the insurance place settle for you and tell you what to do.
love this bro, thank you for sharing. would love to join the next time you decide to do something "stupid" like this haha!
Just being your partner in crime
Whats the total budget for the whole trip sir? Thought of doing the same but maybe around 14-15days instead😂😂
Hi, around 2K all in 😊
@@sornglor555 thx man!! Looking forward for your upcoming videos! Came across your tiktok… you’ve changed to tracer 900 now, time for another ride up north soon? Hehe
woa is tiktok and youtube linked? yes just changed to tracer because this trip made me realise i needed the windshield hahaha. Maybe end of year another ride up? 🤭@@asyrafsalam4214
Can i ask how did your parents not know you ride? Your helmet would be a dead giveaway
😅helmet lock on bike
Invest in a pair of riding gloves
Mind said yes but my ass and back said No.,
Back and butt must hurt like hell
who scold u sia for collecting change first then moving bike, really no patience and a disgrace to bikers
5555 😂 just a random uncle riding harley. i thought i made a mistake so i didnt argue. Only when i went to pay, then i realise he couldnt even pump yet 😅
@@sornglor555 ya exactly...what a joker
wow
i myself dont even know how to enter JB Via bike
actually first time for everything surely more anxious. but just take the time to look around. this was my first time crossing this border too!
