Tune in everyday this week as we attempt to cycle across Thailand 🇹🇭
SUBSCRIBE now and never miss an installment of the adventure! 🚲
For weight loss on a long bike trip, I'd recommend going on a KETO diet as well. No Carbs and No Sugar. :)
Fantastic idea Paddy, loving it!
🇹🇭🚴♂️🧳🍛🥳
Im no expert, but i think you should adjust up your seat on your bike, have a good trip man!
Yes, that will be more efficient and prevent knee injury.
Yes ur too low in the saddle be much easier for u 👍😎🇹🇭
Cycled from Pattaya to Laos in 9 days alone too, this brought back some nice memories, thanks for that.
I hope those blessed children are doing well in life. It was an amazing story of courage and inspiration while the whole world was watching.
It 's unfortunately 1 of them was pass away in school in England in last year.
Brave boys! Proof I can do it, won’t say no anymore. Blessings to you!
Yes, one of the boy passed away while attending a school in Britain. However, very limited information was released by the British govt. about what actually went wrong and they ruled it out as suicide but his family did not believe so because he adjusted quite well being there and they talked everyday. So, what really happened we’ll never know 😢
@@koalanotbear oh that is so sad
Me.and my wife went to the cave three weeks ago. It's such a sobering place.
When we left to drive back to Chiang Rai just past the house with the tyre animals, the road does a sharp left. There's a restaurant in a person's garden. It was amazing food cooked by a wonderful family.
The lead diver in the rescue John Volanthen lives in same little town I come from in England, if you watch the film 'Thirteen lives' his son has the school jumper on in which I also went to.
The film is well worth the watch if you've not seen it.
Excellent film 👍🏽
Feels like our good ol Paddy is back. Great challenge in deed. See so much more of this country that we love when we slow down.
Love this awesome video Paddy! Thanks for taking us along….stay safe & be well 😊
G'won Paddy!!
Best of luck matey. Stay safe please.
Enjoy the adventure...
Thanks 🙏
Love this Paddy
Looking forward to seeing the next series ❤😊
Go Paddy! Now that's an adventure! Have fun & be safe! Cheers 🎉
Another Awesome Adventure Paddy Doyle Thank You 🙂❤👍Watching from NB Canada🙂
Good luck on the new adventure and series! I'm looking forward to it brother 👍🏼🇺🇸😎
NIIICE! This is a fabulous intro to this series. Good to see the cave and how that's been fixed up in the past few years. You look like a champ (for now) hahaha
haha cheers Beverly
Hey Paddy,
I don't know if you read this, but it was wonderful seeing you yesterday. I hope your tour to the floating villages today was wonderful. You absolutely made our day. One question we still had is, how often are you being recognized?
All the best for you
Marius and Cosima
So cool, good luck!
Hey Paddy, good luck, you can do it and I hope your videos are as great as the rest, I'm really looking forward to it, but on the bike wow respect dude👌👍
This journey is so interesting! I love it so much! Thanks!
God bless, Paddy be safe on the road 🙏
I love when you go off on a lark! This is a next level adventure!!!
This is fantastic. Your Thailand videos are all time, and this adventure is a brilliant idea. Good luck mate!
รอติดตามคุณอยู่นะคะ ระมัดระวังในการขี่จักรยาน ขอให้เดินทางปลอดภัย ❤ keep fighting!
So awesome, I need to do something like this and get back in to shape myself (well, maybe not across the entire country but you get the idea). Great and inspiring start mate, keep up the good work!
I'm looking forward to your Thailand-Biking-Tour ... 🤗 ... nice to follow you again on your new tipe of trip ....🚲 ! ..... 🚲 .....🚲
ขับปลอดภัยนะครับ ระวังด้วย❤
Best Wishes Paddy..Looking forward to learn about your adventures...👊
Wow, great adventure. I love your adventure stories. I will be following every one of your bicycling adventures. Thanks from Seattle.
This is an awesome challenge! I've been looking forward to this new series. It will be interesting to revisit some places from your earlier travels, as well as some new things. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us :)
Great too see you back in Thailand riding around again even though you will be doing it a bit tough I think your up for it Paddy
Looking forward to this series. I really enjoyed your Vietnam motorbike series. Thanks!
I'm excited to see your bicycling adventure unfold. The tour with Dreamy was fabulous but this is quite daring! Wishing you the best of luck and safe travels!
Love it!! I would love to do what you are doing, so I will be following your journey and experiencing it through you. Well done it’s no mean feat 👊 🚴😁
Good to see you back . I have more than 20 yr relationship with that cave some great pics from deep inside. Nice flat great cycling area. And such a nice climate. Looking forward to the series. Cheers
Good luck Paddy. Love to see all the different series you do in Thailand. Howay the Toon :)
This is an awesome adventure!
Cool paddy enjoy your trip,,,,,peace and happiness on your journey 😊😊😊😊😊😊
You're off to a good start, Paddy!
Thanks 👍
Another fantastic video! The 360 camera offers an incredible perspective! Summer heat and the rainy season are approaching! Be sure to cover up and protect your skin from the harsh sun!
Fighting Paddy!!!
Interesting journey paddy thank you
Welcome back to Thailand looking forward to see more EP in Thailand. Stay safe paddy , I follow you since you travel in Thailand by motor bike . Cheers from BKK.🎉
Awesome ! Mae Say is a great start Paddy, i loved that you enjoyed Myanmars tea leaf salad, it`s the best ! Woowing about your power and your will to endure this new challenge - it is a long distance down to the south ! Keep smiling Paddy your next level is first class and top notch 👍i love it !💯❤
Glad we've met you in that Indian restaurant in Chiang Rai at the beginning of your journey ! Can't wait to see the next episode ! 🙏🏻
I'm so so so looking forward to this series! Well done what a great trip. Also agree with you on cloudy weather, i love it and no one ever agrees with me 😆
Admirable--please be careful the most dangerous things in Thailand are the roads and drivers -play it as safe as you can--2 other things- check you saddle height--looks a bit low and I would highly suggest getting clipless pedals--SPDs with shoes you can walk on pavement and trails etc.. this will conserve and help with leg muscles-- flat shoes is kind of one dimensional pedaling with lots of stress on your quads--- Get them as soon as you can and practice with them-- life changer--Bon Voyage
You are going to be handsome and fit. And we the audience will see magical Thailand. Sounds like a lot of fun❤
Stay safe and keep rolling Paddy.
OMG you made it finally
Pretty cool that you chose the hottest and smokiest time of year to start, LOL. Good luck! I'll be watching.
ขอให้คุณเดินทางปลอดภัย และประสบความสำเร็จ ในสิ่งที่ตั้งใจไว้
Pretty impressive. I've enjoyed your videos since Motorcycling every province in Thailand. It's intriguing and fun to see something different that other aren't doing.
Scenes mate. Looks smoky up there at the mo! Bet in rainy season it's a stunner
Hey hey 😊 cannot wait for this series 👍👍👍✌️✌️✌️
Enjoy 😅
Hey Paddy I've been a cyclist for ~13 years & following your content for 3+ years. It was fun watching you ride Dreamy across Thailand but wow is it a surprise to see you taking on a similar challenge by bicycle! Good luck on your adventure! Cheers!
Excellent healthy choice!
Well done paddy
Good stuff!! Cycling across Thailand is definitely an interesting challenge!
Cheers!
Will watch as well as that is something I wanted to do as well. @@PaddyDoyle.
I love that you are putting this out there. It will be useful, honest and admirable. Can’t wait to see how this lays out👍
Mae Sai was super busy when we were there, beautiful!
Thanks a million
Have a safe journey!
This series is so exciting. But it would be nice to see more of what you see. (More of the road, the cave, and the 360-degree view)
Best of luck, Ihope it goes well. You did make my eyes water at the caves as it got me remembering Lt Cmdr Saman Kuman along with the boys
Hiya Paddy.
Great intro.
Lunch looked good.
You should definitely feel fitter after these adventures.
Perfect weather for riding. That was something else the story of the boys. How scared they must have been.
Good call with the padded bottoms.
I bet you can not wait to See T S.
Great video. I can not wait for more.
Thanks Nicky!
I would say that's quite a challenge! I enjoy biking as well. Good luck and ride safe.
Proud of you,I also went mea sai last Christmas
Nicely done. Hope you’re liking the bike.
Amazing footage that you are able to film yourself on the bike without a selfie stick! Wow! And one thing not mentioned is the talent you need to keep having interesting things to say whilst cycling in stretches of road with nothing new to see nor explore. Well done! Looking forward to episode 2 already!
Good point!
When I cycled across Thailand eventually I got comfortable cycling 100k each day, and trying to get out of the sun by maybe 2pm , but I always liked eating breakfast with the locals in small villages and towns so good luck I hope you enjoy your trip
Good luck with your bike trip. I've been cycling more than 16,500 km in Thailand without any accident so I know it's double.
Geordies on tour! Hope you’ve got some shelter for the next 24 hours as we are in Chiang Mai, about to head to pai tomorrow and it’s currently thunder and lightening! Good luck! Love all your videos!
To be honest, i have not been watching you much because you weren't in Thailand.....that said. I'll be watching now!!😊😊😊
Really looking forward to watching this series . What a beautiful location to start in Chiang Rai in Mae Sai ( I have been fortunate to have been there also ) You looked good wearing your Toons top ..
Cheers Paul!
Once I watched you and Dreamy, look forward to watch your news adventures. Have a safe trip make yourself visible, many crazy driver in the road.
Good on you for having a go , cycling is a great way to really immerse yourself in the countryside .
Just take your time and allow your body to build fitness, dont try and do too much ,
60km on flat is very different from 60km with hills . Watch out for the heat and hydrate hydrate hydrate.
Best of luck on your journey, we will be cheering you on ,
Best of luck Paddy. It takes courage to bicycle in this country even locally, let alone cross country. Stay safe. All the best from Phuket. ✌
ติดตามการเดินทางของคุณ เป็นกำลังใจให้ครับ😊
Oh my!! Paddy, please be careful❤❤❤ I love this, planning to do it too. Perhaps, with E bikes as the body might not be as fit, haha. Good luck Paddy!!❤❤
so looking forward to this paddy....................keep your spirit and soul way up there🙏🚲please get a hi vis sticker on your back/helmet somewhere mate....your toon shirt blends in with the road from a distance🙏
Enjoy your next adventure
😊
Hahahaha! I always catch a new video! Woohoo, let’s GO! Hahaha
Brilliant.....ive done a few little tours on my brompton in Thailand. I can only say i have 3 bits of advice.
- Try to stay off the main highways
- Try to start earlier (around 6am latest) due to the temperature
- And bring something to deter dogs.....they can be aggressive as you probably know. I bring a Dazer II to prevent them chasing me.
This will be epic.....
Goodness Gracious Great Balls of Fire!
Sorry to be cynical, but is Paddy only back in Thailand to try and garner the views that he’s not getting visiting Antarctica or riding a pointless electric tuk tuk around Sri Lanka. He captured something special with his visiting every province of Thailand on that tiny little bike that doesn’t seem to translate to trekking through Switzerland. His motorbike riding in Laos and Vietnam were epic too. I’m not sure he gave Cambodia a truly fair shake though.
สุดยอดแห่งความตั้งใจ ครับ สู้ ๆๆๆๆๆๆๆ
I cycled newzealand a few years back, pedal clips helps if you don’t like cycling shoes, 27 speed gets you over the steepest hills but you do work hard. Good luck, I guarantee it will be you best achievement so far:-)
You’re a great man
I knew a Dutch couple that used to fly to Chiang Mai, then pick up their 'stored' bikes to ride around Thailand for their vacation. One year, they rode from C.M. to Phnom Penh and back. Another year the rode from C.M. to Penang and return.
Hope you will succeed.... not easy....fighting!
60Ks on you first day is a good effort particularly as you don't cycle regularly, awesome work. it will get easier once you get into a daily routine.
Hang on a bit Paddy.! How much training have you done for this? this series is going to be brilliant, you're going to be as fit a F%&K. What a physical and mental challenge for you this is going to be. Good Luck we will be here to gee you on.
Yes those boys are all an inspiration as is the Thai diver that died trying to save them. Thanks to the Aussie 🇦🇺 and British team who remarkably got them all out safely along with the Thai authorities.
Awesome challenge! Make sure your seat is at the best height. Your knee should just bend a little when your leg is fully extended. Most efficient that way.
Good ending dude
Hi Paddy, pretty awesome adventure mare!
Hope it all goes well.
What is the name of the place you stayed at in Chiang Rai? Cheers!
Come on Paddy!! paddle hard!!
Made me think about the sad demise of Duangphet Phromthep, the captain of the soccer team, who survived the cave rescue only to take his own life in London. May he rest in peace.
You can do it. 🤙
Get a bright green reflection vest and some blinking lights . Seriously!
Cycling tips from lifelong ex top road racing cyclist
Tires check daily set at 50 psi
Gears do not push big gears
Eat & drink often to prevent bonk
Cadence very important
What is an ideal cycling cadence?
Generally, a good cadence in cycling is between 80-100 rpm. Beginner cyclists often pedal rather slowly, around 60-85 rpm. Racers and more experienced hobbyists usually average between 75-95 rpm, and pros can sustain over 100 rpm during attacks or more than 110 rpm during sprints.
Good Luck and Keep Safe🙏
Your bloody mad!😂Best of British paddy.. I will be following 4sure!👍
