  • In the December of 2022 I began a bicycle tour starting in Bangkok Thailand, cycling over 1,200km to the Laos border crossing in Chong Mek. My route followed the coastline southeast of Bangkok over the course of several days before heading north to Ubon Ratchathani province. From Chong Mek I will be crossing into Laos which will be featured in a another video.🚴🏻‍♀️🤓💕🇹🇭

    Hi there, I'm retired and living in Thailand and with a mate have cycled all over Thailand, Cambodia and Laos. I must complement you on your videos. Very professional and entertaining. I will try and emulate your technique. Cheers Ken.

    I live in Nakhon Ratchasima and have cycled the opposite way when I rode to the narrowest point in Thailand. A fun area to ride. I am currently cycling up the the northern most point in Thailand. Nice video. Take care JP

    Very cool videos! I'm currently planning a bike tour thru SE Asia - flexible but thinking of starting in Hanoi around November, riding south to cross into Laos and then ride back north thru it and then into Thailand.

      Sounds like an amazing trip! In Vietnam the Ho Chi Mign Highway is the best option I am told. I didnt take it as I was short on time due to visa issues. Nice time of the year to cycle for you as well!🚴‍♂️❤️

      It worked great and was nice as I could carry all my gear with me walking around the villages. I dont always feel comfortable leave stuff in a guesthouse. I just finished a big tour in South America and used the Digital Holster and individual lens cases to make things more compact. Your products are the best. I have quite a few of their bags for different reasons. Happy yoi enjoyed the video. The Bolivia, Argentina and Chile to be posted in the next month 🚴‍♀️

      @@JeremyEll - I'll ask our social media guy to give you a shout out for your EP2 video that shows the backpack clearly. I lived in Vietnam for six years and biked many backroads, on my trusty Surly Longhaul Trucker with 26" wheels! Looks like you have the Disc Trucker. I still come to Vietnam for 2-3 months a year, and here currently. Are you based in Bangkok?

    I would skip the body-hugging lycra in hot and humid SEAsia. Plus it makes you look like a clueless, alien dork when pulling in to a far-off place. Light, loose and airy, with no more than 50% cotton is what you want in the region. Teva-like sandals too cuz your feet will get wet.

      @@JeremyEll I've highlighted possible ways of doing things differently and/or better. You disregard the suggestions and come back with a blanket "my way is great" without engaging with what has been said. You are set in your ways and not worth engaging in discussion. Let that be a caution to your viewers. Good luck to you.

      @JeremyEll great job.. I think we're a lot of content creators make the mistake of putting loud music in the background when I think most people would prefer to listen to the rainfall and birds singing that's my only quarm 👍

    • @JeremyEll

      Do you think I should use less music in the background? Sometimes with wind noise I need to replace the audio with music or voicovers...
