- In this episode we head down to catch the ferry going to Koh Chang Island. Although the perils of the rainy season are upon us, will it dampen our good time and make this otherwise beautiful Island become our worst nightmare or will we learn that when it rains, it pours. Come along for the ride and find out!

Even though it's raining.. Thailand being tropical..is lush and still warm. I love all the green of the lawns and plants..fantastic.
Anyone who has ever rode a bike for any period of time, has dropped one. A blinker is nothing, thankfully neither of you were hurt aside from a little pride. The room and buffet, for the price, fantastic. Very nice, especially coming of the road on a bike in the rain. Nothing like a hot meal hot shower and hell yeah a nice robe and slippers and good nights rest and sleep... Lucas you have done it again... great post, great adventure and well done show... ok all that food I need to find something to snack on lol...
104 best to drop it then it coming out from under you. ive dumped mine 3 time and worst was a grass field and i got a bruise and didn't even notice it till 3 days gone. And yes it happened in front of lots of people lol
I am in pattaya this weekend. Its paradise. No crowds, no Chinese and beautiful rooftop pool to ourselves. What a day. Hope everyone is enjoying themselves.
This hotel room looks the most authentic Thai so far that I've seen. I'm now watching your videos on loop..haaa.
I love the rain!! So glad you two weren't hurt from your mishap. That hotel looked nice. Thank you for sharing! Hi Vi👋
This is my favorite tv show!!!
Nice looking resort, room, breakfast spread and the shrimp soup looked amazing. Thank you for another great video and sharing with us!!!
Despite the weather Lucas, looks like you were both enjoying yourselves. I'm looking forward to the next one!
Yes, we had a good time overall. Thanks
Love Koh Chang! Best place in Thailand!
Thank you for the video. Thumbs UP👍.
Thanks for the video!
Another good one....
Love Koh Chang we were in Trat at the same time.
What a calm voice
Enjoy.
Absolutely Awesome Room
Rain or shine Rides keeps putting it out there!
Spent 2 weeks in Koh Chang when i was in Thailand....awesome island...and the main road over the mountain is crazy treacherous
Very beautiful place you are having good time with V there
Looks like a great place to stay. I, m hoping when we can finally travel to Thailand again. I fancy doing some of the islands.
Great vid Lucas, glad to see you guys are finally able to " go on tour". I have only ever spent 5 days in Thailand (2008), but with changed circumstances and having already been armed with some knowledge garnered from you Vlogs during our lock-down, I intend to spend about 3 -6 months checking it all out.
Just waiting for the "curtains to be lifted" then it's " don't get in my way , it wont be pretty" as I get off the plane and take in all Thailand has to offer I in particular , natural beauty, beverages and food.
Thanks again for the sights and knowledge
Very nice resort, hope you have a great time.
Really good Value for a good looking resort. You made good time getting there to!
Fantastic vlog 🏆
I hope you did not eat that fly @ 16:15 mins 😂😋
Please keep up with the great work 👍✊🏾👍🏻🙏
Even though its raining its still a good trip. I love the way that Thais love to travel in their own country and have a myriad of cheap options available.
Great place I love Koh Chang. There was a lot to do. I hit the parks, and enjoyed the nightlife. I do not have a bad word to say about the place.
Food looks great
I stayed in PhangNa during the rainy season 3 times and it was really enjoyable. I even went to the many waterfalls in the area while it was raining. Just like you, Thailand in the rainy season doesn't stop anyone from having a good time.
I've always enjoyed Koh Chang. I'll be back again.
Ha that resturant was our favorite, great food, lovely staff. Great to see koh Chang again, stay safe
Looks like a good resort for the price. I look forward to seeing the rest of this trip!
Great room for B900 looking forward to seeing breakfast.
nice bike and wonderful buffet : that is life
That hill is lethal after getting off the ferry. We have ridden up and down it many times on 10 inch wheel, 60 year old Lambrettas! It's everyman for himself with no room for error first and second gear only 3rd gear no chance. Besides that it's our favourite place to ride too Koh Chang love it there and a great vlog mate.
Hope neither of you got injured in your little mishap! Good vid. Looking forward to the next one.
You are in good place, enjoy and greatful.. I wish I were there
Awesome Video
Nice looking breakfast, look forward to the next time, 😁👍
Sounds like a real adventure to get to the island. Constantly impressed by your exceptional content. Seriously, best channel on youtube and I look forward, stuck in covid, to every video. Thank you
Thanks a ton!
Great vid thanks for sharing. You’ve got a great voice for a late night easy listening radio show. Ha.
Poor sods left sun to goto rain..it happens glad ur both safe...vi is loverly.
It looks like an interesting place the hotel looks great. Last time I saw Buffet like that was in Shanghai , nice. I love to seawall with the steps that's pretty cool. Thanks again and stay safe. From the US
Had a great time visiting there a few years ago, yeah, the roads are crazy steep and the switch backs, phew!!
Great video, you do start to realise why wet season is low season. people tend to forget its not always easy travelling in wet season .
Very nice hotel. You did well at that price. The weather reminds me of some days I spent in Cornwall quite a few years ago but we never let it stop us getting around. Nice video.
Always a pleasure to watch your videos..
I stayed next door to the Awa Resort a few years ago.. The Chill Resort.. Very expensive, but fantastic facilities for a few days... Look around if you have time.. Cheers.
Be sure to check out the quieter east coast. The waterfalls will be awesome in wet season. Also snake season. look forward to seeing your take on Koh Chang. You are in for a shock on the road to lonely beach.
Nice vid Lucas does not matter if it rains or shines in Thailand.
Thanks again mate for your Video...my Royal Enfield and I dont like the rain....very much fair weather riders
Keep it up Mate
Its great for me to see this. I was in Kae Bae for a couple of weeks in December and recognise a lot of the roads. The lady at 14:33 organised a fishing trip for me as well as renting me scooter. I am already looking forward to the next installment. Dont miss a visit to Bang Bao Pier.
That breakfast looked good ..
Rain; thought that only happened to me....! Looks like you scored on a good hotel though....the adventure continues....
fon tok mak mak. enjoy the rainy season. happy 4th
Those Castrol Bike Points are really handy. They are everywhere here in Vietnam even up in remote mountain towns. Superfast oil change when you have to keep moving.
Looks an alright place there
It’s raining here now the same as there
We have had more than half an inch in twenty minutes
All the drains are full and water laying everywhere
Nice lunch 👍👍😍😍
That ferry looks like a sardine can death trap, HA! 900 baht for the room including breakfast for two is very good value. July, August and September are the three rainiest months in Thailand so many of the locals don't do a lot of island hopping. November through February are the best months to hit the islands. That fruit spread at the breakfast buffet looked outstanding. Oh how I miss the delicious Thai fruits. As for the fly? Lest we forget that Thailand is one big jungle. Could have been a cobra for God's sake. Great vid mi amigo. Thanks for sharing.
Take it easy riding there mate especially on a big bike like you have and in the rain! Not good.The roads on the other side of the island from when you get off the ferry and turn left are better.Have a good trip Koh Chang is great.
Love Koh Chang, though sadly my last visit was 10 years ago. Rained then too but doesn’t look much different. Great for the adventurous motorcyclist. Lonely beach wasn’t so lonely, I preferred Long beach though back then the ‘road’ was very steep. Your friendly tour agent can arrange a great snorkelling trip.
Nice room with a good discount, internet price 1200 and over 2000 in high season.
Yeah like koh chang, been quite a few times now. Got quite a few people i know who live in chi Chet I think it's called. Very beautiful place when the sun's out. Things are usually a bit dearer there. Nearly all supplies come on the ferry. Watch the roads they can be a bit treacherous. Enjoy your stay, bri and frei east Yorkshire.
That fly on the buffet.
I was there about the same time and it rained and rained and rained some more.
Hey Lucas. Big fan of your vids. I was thinking you should put in google map image of where you are and where going etc. You have done it a few times in different vids and it's always cool to see on a bigger scale. Keep up the good work!
I always end up googleing the places you visit just out of curiosity. I expect others do too.
the Hotel was very nice and breakfast included good deal for least than 30 bucks .I can't even stay at motel six for that price happy 4 0f July good travels
I bet you'll be enjoying the breakfast in the next episode.
Can wright off the day driving there and start afresh tomorrow.
Little Eden, Lonely Beach, have a nice lay down,"on mattresses" resturant.😊
Koh Chang is one of the Favorite destinations but Come there in december januar per febuary June is ok but some rain. I love that irland...
Nice to see that Koh chang never disappoint .... i was 3 times and 3 times it was raining the most of the time LOL
I guess i know perfectly what place you did get the accident .... many appening there.
AWA is a must stay
Gee that creek water @ 10:45 looked good, almost as good as Pattaya beach water. Hey did you feel safe riding down to the ferry point from your home town? Could it be done comfortably on a medium sized scooter (150cc) from Pattaya? Cheers.
Thanks for video. You must be a really good motorcycle rider. I lived almost a year in Patong beach back in 2004 never got on a bike too many accidents. Rode in California for a few years had a Yamaha 1100xs cafe racer with 4 in 1 compaction system, custom 4 barrel carbarateurs and bleed off the gear box, parelli racing slicks, drilled disc's back and front. Loved it was a monster, guy who built it worked for Yamaha I bought it used. Like your Kawasaki, be safe. Jeffrey Stecher Henderson Nevada
I’m looking forward to Thailand next year towards the end November/December
At: 16:14 was that a fly swimming in the ham?? Hahaha, i love Thailand, good job.
I rode to mae hong song from rangsit on the vmax, going up the mountain is over a 1000 turns, they are some of the craziest I've been on. you do get a certificate of accomplishment from the tourist centre.
I think you have chosen the right time to go. No Chinese tourists you lucky man. Good luck and happy independence day
Glad you made it back to the ferry alive lot of accidents, deaths on the roads on koh chang had 1 on the tight bend going down to lonely beach my poor girlfriend lost a front tooth and badly injured her shoulder, so always play it safe take the sontels very safe and regular if you not experienced Ryder, the island great place white sands got the beer bars, klong prao got best beach,give kai bae a miss unless you like rude Russians, lonely beach great place to chill out, and bang beo great restaurants , can have a few holidays so easy to move around, warapura resort lonely beach is the place to chill out great rooms staff and food.
Wow, That is a nice Hotel! I would rather be there in the rain than here anytime!
That's a great hotel price. Right now for a superior hillside room on July 14-18 it's about 1,235 Baht without Agoda's add-ons. Papa ain't home....555. Looked like a little beetle was checking out the ham on the buffet. Them taters and beans looked good!
You are with vee on this trip good one how is the bike going is it done yet.
interesting vblog, thanks for that ..
Horrible to see Elephants chained up
😂😂
Good trip though so far 👍
Pretty common there ...
I do really like tropical rain though, after living in southern California for long times....
Would be fun to see if the Turskish dude still has the beach huts in Bang Bao (beach after the long pier).
And if Paddy Palms resorts is still alive in white sand beach.
The food looked good , until I saw that fly crawling across it 🤔😖😖😖The rest of the place is great 👍
There were also a lot of mosquitoes there, the first stop should be to the 7eleven to buy some of the repellent cream. They were some of the largest mosquitoes I'd ever seen 🤣
Spent 6 days on Koh Chang at the start of feb. Lovely place and as you say it is big and the roads between the main beach areas is very steep with tight hairpin bends and I understand how you managed to drop the bike in that heavy rain. Did 3 days at the Santhiya Tree Koh Chang Resort. Got a good deal for a pool villa otherwise it would be way out of my price range. Spent the last 3 at Paddys palm hotel. Clean basic room for £30 a night but the food from the attached pub is great and good value.
A Visit to the Mango swamp walkway was my highlight. Well worth a visit if nature is your thing.
Yeah, there was a sign at Paddy's saying they moved. Don't know how long the sign has been there though.
Looks like the crash protection saved your bodywork in the tip over. If you didn't have the protection the damage might have been worse. The resort looks great, you'd pay a small fortune for something like that in the US.
The roads in Koh Chang are infamously dangerous. Probably my favorite island. Prices generally are higher there though.
Haha we see when we can go there...
Hi.. whats the name of the dishes you order? Specially the chicken one, i want to try next time when i'm in Thailand. Cheers
Koh Chang is beautiful and i also got rain when i visited... :D
900 THB is very cheap man.. i paid almost 1800 THB when i visited maybe its because now they are restarting now.
Rainy is fun for sleeping and eating and no fun for swimming krub.
Wrong time of the year to visit Koh Chang. Chonburi is perhaps the driest place during the rainy season, but Koh Chang is one of the wettest. Great deal on the hotel though!
Have a home on koh Chang cannot wait to get back but don’t know if it’s will happen.
Is there a good weather app for your area?
Good video mate ,maybe add a Google maps might help some of us not in Thailand .The motel looks good
Be careful
Did you go to see elephants the day after? How do they treat these animals?
Hotel looks great for what you paid, anywhere to go for a drink nearby?
Drive safe on the wet roads of Koh Chang, they are slippery as hell
6:45. Did you list that roach as one of your room occupants?
06:43 | The House Fly sure is a big bloke
I could easily spend a whole month there.
no rain here in rangsit
