Some suggestions here :- 1. the town you are staying now 2. food adventure in this village 3. views around like mountain views, village view 4. your interaction with the people there
Woohooooo...the big Northern Thailand roadtrip has started. Thanks a bunch for bringing us along....hahaha...the first adventure is the " Erotic Garden" with all those erotic structures around 😂😂😂 Amazing drone shots. Wonderful that you have a drone now, bet your coming vlogs will be super super cool. The journey to Pai is full of green and one part of the road looks dangerous with so many curves. Love that village vibes. It looks similar to a Malaysian kampung. Nice accomodation...it looks clean and cozy and there's even a swimming pool...👍👍 Thanks again for showing n sharing with us Day 1 of the roadtrip. Stay safe, always ride carefully as it's the raining season. Take your time, don't rush and take good care, Ken.
Yeah kampung vibes here are very similar to malaysian, thats alao my impression 😅also really looking forward to the trip 😊glad to hear you are excited too. Thanks 💪
yeaaahhhh finally ken abroad has a sponsor 👌 skill share number #1 thank you for sponsoring this channel day 1 of your motorbike journey starts w/ a lot of cool things & i must say that the rain adds flavor into this vlog drone shots are perfect 👌✨💌💘 stunning mountain views & fields that i really like about the northern Thailand i love it 😻⛰🌲🌳 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Ken, I've lived several years in Northern Thailand , mostly in Pai and Chiang Mai. I can definitely say that the rainy season is the most beautiful season for the North. Everything is so green while the air is fresh cool and clean. I've driven countless trips on those windy mountainous stretches between towns and places on that entire famous loop and enjoyed every minute of it. Just take it easy and use the warning horn signal on every approach to a tight curve with limited visibility. Savor the cool ,refreshing ,sweet monsoon rains. It is the season of heavenly blessings that nourishes the mountains of the North.....I miss Pai.
Great video shooting ken. I think it's not easy to capture video while riding. The video on the bike looks great and you intersperse it with the right amount of footage of the other interesting sights. Looking forward to more. Drive safe and good luck!
Probably I'm addicted to your video already. Actually I can't wait every 2 days for your video. Now as you are planning to upload it everyday, it's going to be awesome travelling around Thailand in the comfort of my room.
Hi Ken, thank you for your dedication and diligence making the videos. Glad you bought a drone; they make great content. Ka-num for snacks; a-han is food and he pointed you at the dry noodles since you asked for food :) Rainy season is my favorite season in Thailand; as you say everything is green and blooms, lots of fruits, and some of the thunderstorms are quite exciting.
My knowledge of Thailand stops at Chiang Mai. Therefore, venturing northward is something I look forward to: What's the weather like, popular food in the north, what is the main ethnic group, strength of internet connectivity, any plan to visit border towns or local native villages, etc
Pia bungalows next to the lake in Mae Hong Son are amazing, stunning views over the lake and very cheap. Mae Hong Son is my most favourite place in Thailand.
Super excited Ken. A road trip by scooter is exactly what I am doing when I next get there. I will be interested in how your rented scooter goes as I was thinking of the same engine size. Looking forward to the next 5 weeks. Drive safe, eat well, chat with the locals & above all 'ENJOY' every minute of it.
Hi Ken 👋🏻 nice tour ride beautiful view along the way , good job on flying the drone , yeay really amazing greeneries from above view 👏🏻 hmm..I wonder what is the motive of the exotic garden 😢😬 nice village shop reminds me of my 'kampung' back then 👍 luckily you arrived the destination before dark such beautiful hotel and cheap , we would like to see the mountains , seasides and street food 👍 hope you have a good rest and more exciting places to go 👍
A bit of a rainy start to your road trip but the scenery looks awesome . Woukd love to see your accommodation along the way and I hear that Pai has a very beautiful temple worth visiting. Ride safely and keep the videos coming. By the way the drone footage looked really good for a newbie 👍😍
Ken all the best on your road trip. I am following your channel since Malaysia. And a motorcycle trip in Thailand, Just cant wait to see the next episode. And since you asked, if its possible for to get a proper helmet mount for you action cam, that would be great, as the wind noise in the cam is too much. Any ways be safe out there. Thank you.
Wow great road trip, on the positive side, the rain in between helps to reduce the temperature around so that would reduce fatigue of driving on the bikes for hours.. Stay safe and stay positive Ken.
This series going to be great. A tip about your backpack when you have it on during the ride is to connect something under the backpack so much that the backpack is connecting the seat so the seat is taking weight insted of you. Keep safe.
Very unusual park you found there. Looked like just a small rain shower :D, I am sure you have seen much heavier rain on your travels. The drone is an interesting addition and adds a whole new perspective to your video's. Great if you can find a jungle/Rainforest swimming area, I like to be away from it in the rainforests when we visit Sarawak. The sounds are amazing. Great start to the trip.
Great start to your roadtrip! You have actually listed everything that I would like to see on this roadtrip, and perhaps it would be a great idea to stay about 2 days here to explore the town.
Hai...hello, Ken!! Saya dari Malaysia, your Channel's follower. I'm interested when you expose the local lifestyle and their traditional foods. Ride safely, Ken...
Sawasdee Ken! The wood in the bottle is the local whiskey - they are dried local herbs something like ginseng in Korea then you add the local whiskey into it. I love road trip so want to see more roadside views / quiet local attractions or village lives as I am locked down in BKK 😭 I miss travel so much.
Off to a fun start. Taking the back roads and having plenty of time is really the key for sure. Of course it is going to rain, nice to get it out of the way right off the bat LOL. Only one thing keeps making me nervous..... you don't have gloves. Seriously if you fall off, the first thing you do is put your hands out, you NEED protection.
Well done . Happy Ride on your Day 1 Bike road trip. Nice view & commentary.... Remember to chk tyres pressure on your next long ride to the next town . 😎
My wife and I did a road trip of that area a few years ago - but we did it in our Vigo (HiLux), setting out from home in Pai (about 150 metres from your hotel), then just taking roads that looked interesting once we left Chiang Mai. You should enjoy the experience. There are many lovely places to visit.I also prefer that little backroad route than the main R107 :)
I was in Pai about 4-5 years ago. Enjoyed tooling around the countryside in my moto, very nice, even with lots of tourists. They had piles of foreign food on the street like lasagne. I stayed in a cabin, was very cool. I think you'll want to hang around for a few days
Nice drone shots, just show us everything countryside/food/scenery/people/accommodation/etc: and do please drive safe when it rains. Cam on bike is ok 👌🏼 Enjoy your exploration.
I started watching your videos when I found that you were in my hometown (Perlis), so I watched all the videos about Perlis as I miss my hometown (I’m working in Johor, can’t go back to Perlis due to MCO). But now I think I’m stucked with your ‘journey’ 😅 Can’t wait for the upcoming videos! Stay safe!
Thanks for the daily vlogs Ken. Nice drone scenery ! Interesting to note that there doesn't seem to be a lot of coconut palm trees in Northern Thailand as opposed to Southern Thailand. Must be a temperature, climate thing.
Yeay!!! Finally vlog with drone. Happy n proud of your new vloging development. Keep on posting interesting n beautiful nothern Thailand. Super bagus!!!
I stayed at B2 in Pai a few weeks ago. The 490 Baht price seems a bit high. I paid 300 Baht using the Agoda link from Google maps. You can save some money compared to the walk in price. Also most of the villages, hot springs, parks were shut down a few weeks ago because of COVID. For example, all the restaurants and shops in the Chinese village of Ban Rak Thai were closed. I went from Mae Sariang to Pai and can give you some info on what's open and closed if you are interested. Good luck.
Back on the road..... New adventures.... Wow, you gotta yourself a new drone while Steve ( JetLag Warriors) just lost his... Yeah, a drone will definitely improve production value.... Anyway, Stay safe, ride safely , happy exploring
Great Start the trip :-) On your road trip you should try “ stay wild and cafe “ at Kuet Chang. Stay in the cabins at the top , great view Really peaceful place to stay with a few nice coffee shops in the area
Ken , in most of the travelling vlogs usually landscape and roadside clips are shown but it would be appreciated if you could visit the interior Village side ,valleys and take some landscape drone shot to sum up to know how life are being lived there.
Thank you for sharing the first leg of your journey, Ken.. it’s always good to be able to stop and smell the roses versus rushing and being like that truck🤦♂️.. safe journeys and looking forward to seeing what other wonders you see along the way.. perhaps Patticha?🙄😉🙏
Hi Ken. - love your sponsor's content - look like some great info I can use to learn blogging - very excited to watch your trip to Pai. Lovely motorbike and awesome value. Take care Ken. Kathrine Wilson.
I and my spouse had done Mea Hong Son loop twice,,clockwise and anti clockwise from Chiang Mai ,,,, Chiang Mai to Pai 1864 curves,,,, Enjoy your ride,,,the best scenic ride ,,Pai to Mea Sangriang,,, Stay safe and stay happy 🇲🇾
Definitely, visit the locals on your trip Ken, they're always great craic, plus I love the music at the end, it sounds like Frank SInatra or something similar
@@KenAbroad Great! Do be careful of riding on the mountain roads, especially when it is raining as the roads can become extremely slippery. This reminds me of my solo bike trips from Singapore to the Cameron Highlands!
In Amsterdam, there's usually one or two stalls at the markets selling chocolates shaped like that.. 😂 Everyone takes photos, of course.. From what I've read about Pai, it was sort of a backpacker's paradise, with lots of cheap no-frills accomodations. It's probably more touristy these days. Last night I came across your Segamat video.. I was there some years ago, interesting little town. I even cooked a ramly burger with mozzarella for lunch.. 😁
@@KenAbroad Kind of a weird little town, I thought. Hard to find a hotel that wasn't dilapidated. I visited a couple of abandoned quarries (a lot of the stones they used as ballast for Malayan Railways came from there, and they're weird rocks which shouldn't be there). I found some abandoned railway quarters, too, took quite a few photos. When I visited the town was overrun with "Old Town Coffee" clones (with copycat names like "Old Taste Kopitiam").. about a half dozen within three blocks (this was maybe 15 years ago, though.. it was the latest trendy thing back then). The next town over on the rail line was Kluang, with the famous original Kluang Station Kopitiam (prices were half of what you would pay at the restaurants using the same name in KL malls). I didn't come across the "bawah bowling" food court, I will have to look for that if I ever go back.

Try my best to bring you along the journey the best way possible 💪
WOW! You're sponsored by Skillshare! Well done, Ken!
Hi Ken, thank you for your dedication and diligence making the videos. Glad you bought a drone; they make great content. Ka-num for snacks; a-han is food and he pointed you at the dry noodles since you asked for food :) Rainy season is my favorite season in Thailand; as you say everything is green and blooms, lots of fruits, and some of the thunderstorms are quite exciting.
Ah good to know the difference between kanum and ahan, thanks 😊
My knowledge of Thailand stops at Chiang Mai. Therefore, venturing northward is something I look forward to: What's the weather like, popular food in the north, what is the main ethnic group, strength of internet connectivity, any plan to visit border towns or local native villages, etc
Wow look who have a sponsor!
Congrats Ken!
Looking forward for the upcoming trip, be safe on the road 🙏
Great start on the trip Ken, the drone shots are a great upgrade to the videos buddy 👊
Thanks for sharing, see you in the next one 🙏
Pia bungalows next to the lake in Mae Hong Son are amazing, stunning views over the lake and very cheap. Mae Hong Son is my most favourite place in Thailand.
ken : I don't think I can show these.
Also ken: show it anyways.
love it! hahahah
Of coarse it was....😁😁😁😍😍😍
Thanks for this video n thanks for showing your wonderful start of d roadtrip.
You really look happy and excited. Continue to enjoy the journey.🙏

And since you asked, if its possible for to get a proper helmet mount for you action cam, that would be great, as the wind noise in the cam is too much. Any ways be safe out there. Thank you.
Hi Ken, I would like to see the night markets and more interactions with the village locals!
The village and the view of mountain are great at Pai, enjoy your 1st roadtrip
Wow great road trip, on the positive side, the rain in between helps to reduce the temperature around so that would reduce fatigue of driving on the bikes for hours.. Stay safe and stay positive Ken.
Another good point about the rain 💪😊
I love view on the mountain and the roadtrip...view greens trees .the villages
This series going to be great. A tip about your backpack when you have it on during the ride is to connect something under the backpack so much that the backpack is connecting the seat so the seat is taking weight insted of you. Keep safe.

Congrats on the start of the roadtrip! And also congrats on getting sponsored by Skillshare! That's a huge milestone :D
It is indeed 😊
Love this road trip, it's always nice to travel,for a small town,the hotel looks amazing, good job ken,
Hmmm...Ken's eye's look real glassy after his visit to Erotic Garden! Me thinks the owner sparked one!!!
Interesting Garden art.
Nice road trip with this climate. Always use the signals while riding motorcycles.
Stay safe.
Well done . Happy Ride on your Day 1 Bike road trip. Nice view & commentary.... Remember to chk tyres pressure on your next long ride to the next town . 😎

Great Start the trip :-)
On your road trip you should try “ stay wild and cafe “ at Kuet Chang. Stay in the cabins at the top , great view
Really peaceful place to stay with a few nice coffee shops in the area
Nice view Ken…. Thanks for sharing have fun 🤩
Dear Ken thanks for a superb road trip blog. Wanna to see every excitement during your trip
Ken , in most of the travelling vlogs usually landscape and roadside clips are shown but it would be appreciated if you could visit the interior Village side ,valleys and take some landscape drone shot to sum up to know how life are being lived there.
Yeah I'm going to make stops at villages, talk with people, try food there etc ✌😊
#teamabroad
Yeah, too bad it was wet. If driving on those roads that were dry, you can imagine yourself speeding on Nurbergring, Ken!
Excellent video. Thanks Ken!
Enjoying your travels !
Best channel around.
Thanks Craig, appreciate it 😊
Vielen Dank Ken fur iher lustigen Vlogs und fantastische Drohne.
I am excited to see your daily videos.
what a wonderful journey... so nice places...
hi ken....like your road trip....
Thank you for sharing the first leg of your journey, Ken.. it’s always good to be able to stop and smell the roses versus rushing and being like that truck🤦♂️.. safe journeys and looking forward to seeing what other wonders you see along the way.. perhaps Patticha?🙄😉🙏
Please go on with market and food in the local town also the night life and how the street looks like during the night
View in the mountains
Please drive carefully and stay safe. Cath and Kevs
Hi Ken we love it new series !!!! can not wait for next video:))) stay safe and positive ! of course no positive co19 hahahahahha
Hi Ken. - love your sponsor's content - look like some great info I can use to learn blogging - very excited to watch your trip to Pai. Lovely motorbike and awesome value. Take care Ken. Kathrine Wilson.

I and my spouse had done Mea Hong Son loop twice,,clockwise and anti clockwise from Chiang Mai ,,,,
Chiang Mai to Pai 1864 curves,,,,
Enjoy your ride,,,the best scenic ride ,,Pai to Mea Sangriang,,,
Stay safe and stay happy 🇲🇾
Definitely, visit the locals on your trip Ken, they're always great craic, plus I love the music at the end, it sounds like Frank SInatra or something similar
The raining season can be upsetting, please chill and enjoy some quiet moment in your hotel.
Beautiful.. Nice..and Congratulations ken👍👍👍👏👏👏
Thanks 💪
Sounds like a fun trip!
It's definitely going to be a fun trip 😊
@@KenAbroad looking forward to the videos! The erotic park is interesting tho 😆
It’s my dream to do an exciting road trip in Thailand!
This is so interesting to get pov from riding on the bike with you. Great idea
you should check out paddy doyle's channel.
Interesting road trip and video. Really kind people in Thailand.
Interesting vlog! Do visit Ban Rak Thai which is very near Pai. You won't reget it as the scenery by the lake is very nice. Ride and stay safe.
Will be in one of the next vlogs 😊
@@KenAbroad Great! Do be careful of riding on the mountain roads, especially when it is raining as the roads can become extremely slippery. This reminds me of my solo bike trips from Singapore to the Cameron Highlands!
Maybe consider a mountain village stay and explore their lifestyle? The Akha Julyah guesthouse looks interesting.
If you see any elephant camps that would be very cool. You are in the right area for it. Be careful on the bike.
In Amsterdam, there's usually one or two stalls at the markets selling chocolates shaped like that.. 😂 Everyone takes photos, of course.. From what I've read about Pai, it was sort of a backpacker's paradise, with lots of cheap no-frills accomodations. It's probably more touristy these days. Last night I came across your Segamat video.. I was there some years ago, interesting little town. I even cooked a ramly burger with mozzarella for lunch.. 😁
Ah segamat was a nice town😊
@@KenAbroad Kind of a weird little town, I thought. Hard to find a hotel that wasn't dilapidated. I visited a couple of abandoned quarries (a lot of the stones they used as ballast for Malayan Railways came from there, and they're weird rocks which shouldn't be there). I found some abandoned railway quarters, too, took quite a few photos. When I visited the town was overrun with "Old Town Coffee" clones (with copycat names like "Old Taste Kopitiam").. about a half dozen within three blocks (this was maybe 15 years ago, though.. it was the latest trendy thing back then). The next town over on the rail line was Kluang, with the famous original Kluang Station Kopitiam (prices were half of what you would pay at the restaurants using the same name in KL malls). I didn't come across the "bawah bowling" food court, I will have to look for that if I ever go back.
God bless you and
your family
I love the ride footages
