Sunflowers And Microwaves Make A Strange Day In Thailand
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 лис 2023
- Day 4 of the Mae Hong Son motorbike tour brought some amazing sights! Sunflowers and a Hmong microwave village are on the list of things to see today. Yes it's another strange combo day in Thailand. Join me as I venture into the wild blooming Thung Bua Tong sunflower fields for a once a year experience to see these wild sunflowers bloom. I have never seen such a wild display of color in nature at this magnitude. You can only see this once a year, and I was lucky enough to be here at the right time. Next we visit the Hmong Microwave village where over 600 Hmong people live. Not only was it an interesting village to see, but the view from the viewpoint was defintely the most amazing mountain top view I have yet seen in Thailand. As always, I provide more fun on bike footage from my trusty Honda ADV 160 motorbike. Let's GO!

The flower garden was very beautiful. I'm a real Thai person and have never been there before. Thank you for sharing the video clip.
It’s like the Thai version of Japanese cherry blossoms. What a beautiful place for a bike ride. I’m glad you didn’t have to park a car up there.
It was absolutely amazing up there. And yes, I was very glad I was not in the car.
0:31 Sun Nov 19th, 2023 Good Morning Serg From Gilbert Arizona USA. I am really loving your tour. The Sunflowers are so breathtaking and overwhelming. I have to say that I have never seen that many sunflowers in my life. I'm glad you enjoyed yourself there. I'm glad you enjoyed your lunch, it looked really tasty. Yeah those roads are pretty twisted roads. You know those kids have never seen an Xbox or PlayStation just play with each other. The chickens are definitely Cage Free. You are definitely enjoying your adventure everyday. 711 yeah. Your hotel 🏨 was definitely was amazing. I hope that you enjoyed your day. Until your next video Healthy Blessings and Happy Adventures. 19:28
Good morning to you as well. I have never seen so many sunflowers in one place either. And you’re right about the kids, they’re outside, playing with each other instead of sitting at home playing video games. I think they are very fortunate in that regard. See you soon!
Wow, the valley of yellow flowers is wonderful.
It was truly stunning
Beautiful place 😮😊👍❤️🎉🎊🌼🌻
It really is!
It may be too early in the season but there are some remote villages in these mountains where wild poinsettias grow. it is absolutely breath taking. There is a night market in Mae Hong Son. Also near Mae Hong Son is a Chinese village where they grow many varieties of teas. There’s a large lake surrounded by businesses. I had the best Papaya Salad ever there. It set my mouth ablaze.
Yep, just keep watching the videos from the series. I think you might see some of those things. 😉
@@LifewithSerg I’m guessing the Chinese Tea village
The flowers on the hills , WOW! That meal looked delicious. So fun watching you zoom through those curvy roads! 🙈 LOL
I’m looking forward to your new adventures & videos!
Thanks for watching!
Wow! That as an epic ride up to the view point on that farm track. Nice 👍
Yeah, the views up there are amazing
ว้าว ธรรมชาติมาก ขอให้คุณเที่ยวบรรยากาศเเบบบ้าน เเบบนี้ก็สนุกไปอีกเเบบนึง เมืองไทยมีหลากหลายบรรยากาศ ฉันเป็นคนไทยเเต่ฉันยังไม่เคยได้คไปแม่ฮ่องสอนเลย อยากไปเหมือนกันเเต่ฉันยุไกล ฉันยุทางอิสานตอนบน บรรยากาศป่าเขาก็สวยไปอีกเเบบ เเละฉันก้อชอบ อีกไม่นานฉันก้อจะไปเหมือนกันนะคะ🎉🎉🎉🎉👍👍👍🤜🤛🇹🇭🇹🇭
You should definitely go. I will come and visit your region soon. I’m actually starting another trip on Tuesday, but this time I will go south to the beaches.
Enjoying following and reliving my trip 5 wks ago on the loop in the opposite direction....you're going to absolutely love the roads from here to Pai and beyond, fantastic riding and scenery. 19:27 19:27
Yes, it’s a wonderful trip
ปกติหน้าหนาว คนไทยมักจะลาพักร้อนไปเที่ยวรับความเย็นที่สดชื่น ที่ภาคเหนือของไทยค่ะ ไปกางเตนท์ นั่งดูหมอก และดูพระอาทิตย์ขึ้น/พระอาทิตย์ตกตามที่ท่องเที่ยวภูเขาทางภาคเหนือของไทย
และอีกหลายคนก็ไปทะเล หรือเกาะต่างๆทางภาคใต้ของไทยค่ะ
Yes, it is very beautiful
You've chosen the perfect time to ride the loop. The weather is perfect and getting cooler. Many riders take opportunity to take on this loop during this time. If you have time to explore, there are many hidden gems on this loop you've just to find them. There are loads of waterfalls and viewpoints, also many types of flowers starting to bloom during this time. Enjoy the sceneries and safe ride.
There’s so much to see on this loop, you were very correct. There’s no way I can see all of it on this trip, but I’m having a wonderful time.
Looks like you had a great trip
I’m having a great time. I still have about three more videos coming from this trip over the next week. Stay tuned!
The road to the view point beyond the Mong Microwave Village would be a bit much for a backseat rider. Ha ha. Thanks for the fun-filled journey as usual, Serg.
Yah that “road” was a bit rough. Lol
Nice video Serg! The countryside up there is very beautiful.
It’s simply stunning. Wait until you see some of my other videos that I’ve been recording up there. I’ve got three more from this tour series coming up throughout the week.
The Hmongs grow vegetables on hillsides and transport their produce to low land in those pickup trucks.
Yes! I should’ve taken some video of that as they were definitely growing quite a bit of produce on the hillside.
I love your Northern bike trip..Brings back lots of memories....I worked in and around Lampang area for several years 1972-1975 (Vietnam conflict)...I rode my AJS motor bike all around Chang Rai.. Mai Hong song... Mai Sai..Chaing Mai...Jea Hom...a bit into Burma and Lao....(back in the day some areas were a bit dangerous).
Cheers from Huay Kwang..
WOW! That must have been such an amazing (and dangerous) trip! AJS?! Wow those are very cool bikes.
เดินทางควรมี คู่บัดดี๊ ขอให้เดินทางด้วยความปลอดภัยครับ เยี่ยมมากครับ
It’s a lot easier to travel solo. I’m having a wonderful time.
Very verygood.
I loved the sunflower field and that view from the top showing the valley was amazing. Keep up the good work.
Thank you! Will do!
Very cool adventure. Trust me when I tell you a ADV 350 would be ripping through those twisties ..Hint Hint 😆😆
I’m sure it would. If I decide to step up from this, it’s going to be to a standard motorcycle. I’m starting to eyeball something like the Honda Transalp or the CB 500 X.
@LifewithSerg I have a Suzuki Burgman 400 and it's very comfortable with plenty of power for long journeys.
@@LifewithSergAre the roads good enough for sustained higher speeds?...any animal crossings? Other than dogs ...
The view at the top of the mountain ⛰️ is stunning . The villlage looks very peaceful and so great to see kids just having fun no phones needs . Another great vlog enjoy the rest of you travels Serg 👏👏👏
This was such a fun day. I think you’ll really enjoy the video. I have coming out tonight.
@@LifewithSerg roll on May next year when I return !!!!!!! Than I can enjoy !!!😊
ขอบคุณที่มาเที่ยวประเทศไทยครับ อยากให้คุณมาเที่ยวทุกจังหวัดในประเทศไทย
I will try!
@@LifewithSerg อยากให้คุณลองเข้าหาผู้คนไทยให้มากๆ แล้วคุณจะได้ความสุขมากกว่าเดิม ได้ความอบอุ่น เข้าไปพูดคุยกับคนไทยเยอะๆคุณไทยรักคุณแน่นอน
Great video, and lots of fun trying to get your bike up the hill on those bumpy roads. Best of luck on the rest of the trip, I'm really enjoying it.
Glad you’re enjoying it! I’ve got three more episodes planned
Wow😮, what a view, the sunflowers looked great
Amazing views!
Unbelievable hill 😮 hopefully next time together , enjoy it
This was absolutely magnificent Maty!
Another great one...your narration and explanations are excellent. Amen with the crazy world....if you dont know its crazy, it doesn't matter...eat clean, live clean and keep your mind/soul clean
Glad you like them! Thanks.
Loving this tour Serg! Highlight of my day. Surprised you didn’t bow a tire! Be careful!
Fortunately, that little bike has weathered everything pretty well so far!
2024 Honda Nx500 it so nice bike for adventure like this i wana see you ride it don't miss serg it so nice
That is a nice looking bike. I’m going to go and look at the Honda big bikes at the Bangkok motor expo next week.
Interesting video Serg. I've enjoyed watching it :)
Glad you liked it. Was such a fun day.
As always, it's so cool to watch your videos!
Kisses from Argentina 🤗
¡Muchas gracias!
Un placer 😊 @@LifewithSerg
Another great video Serg. Loving exploring Thailand through your videos. Just FYI check the spelling of Bangkok in your channels description, not a biggie but you forgot a K. Enjoy the rest of your loop tour, hanging out for the next videos.
Glad you’re enjoying the video, and thanks so much for catching the spelling mistake!
Look forward to seeing next video 😁
It’s coming in less than seven hours.
The views is fantastic !
It’s so beautiful.
Watching your video everyday, you just living in my dream !
Very happy to know you’re enjoying these videos. More to come!
Ready enjoying this series do far. I envy you.The north of Thailand is really beautiful, I toured around there as well some years ago.
It really is gorgeous. I’m glad you’re enjoying this series. I should have three more episodes from this series coming up.
@@LifewithSerg cool!
i wish one day i would drive a convertible sport car on the road like this. Thanks for your inspiration. 🤩
This would definitely be a good road for it!
so beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
Keep it up!!😊❤
I will!
It would have been nice to see you walking in the fields and singing, "The Hills are alive."
Ha ha ha. My allergies absolutely destroyed me after going up there.
I am a quit small town person, I would so prefer to live in one of those small towns over Bangkok.
I really love visiting and staying in the small towns. Bangkok is not the perfect place for me, but I definitely could not live in one of these tiny towns.
Great view, has a Hawaii look to it
Yes! It does remind me of Hawaii
nice video❤❤❤ welcome to Thailand❤❤❤
Thank you! 😃
Tom Claytor is America who love Thailand. i knew him at Airshow at Nokorn pratum province that time Read Arrow from England Air shows from that time around 1989. If you're interested, if you do't it is ok
Thanks
Mae Hong Sorn province is Thailand’s top rating in Happiness Index by national survey. You will agree after your touring ride.
Yes, it is absolutely gorgeous
ทุ่งบัวตอง...
สวยงามมาก
Yes, it was amazing.
the road trip that close to this lope near BKK is Bortong Chonburi
Ah thanks.
Beautyful flower .you too hand some.no 7 for serg.😊😊😊
Many many thanks
@@LifewithSerg 🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭
If your still in the area North to Nan, Phu Chi Fa and the Golden Triangle. No regrets.
Not on this trip. That’s a separate trip in the future.
Wow! Beautiful🎉🎉🎉
So amazing.
Khao Yai national park might be another option for you and it's close to BKK
I’ve already been there on a prior motor bike tour
Wow soo cool ❤
Such a fun day!
Hmong has their own language but majority of them also speaks Thai and Lao.... I am Hmong myself but I was born n raised the the US since 77... My plan b or c is to move to Thailand when i Retire in a few years.... I've been watching your channel and The Narrow Gate for Info on my relocation if i do when i retire...
Ahhh thanks for the info!
Amazing!
This was a really fun day. I think you’ll really enjoy my next video as well.
looking forward to it
Love the field of dreams reference. I have severe allergies so don't think being there would be too much fun...lots of sneezing, swollen, itchy dry eyes.
This absolutely put my allergies into overdrive and actually ended up putting me down for a day. But it was worth it.
Beautiful place 🎉 please take care for driving on the road 🎉
Thank you, I will
I wish many tourist will go find another amazing in another provinces like you did.
Yes I hope so too.
Beautiful flowers 🎉🎉🎉
Yah so nice!
Wow, that was cool experience, riding on the mountains. 😅
So amazing!
So much beautifully place, I want to go there
It was amazing!
love your bike trip, one day i will do it too :)
You should, I’m sure you will love it
Yeah 👍, you made it to one of my dream places, Thung Bua Tong. I was there in 2019 before pandemic hit. I want to go back if I can. Hmong has their own language but they can also speak Thai. I have a Hmong friend who owns a resort in Phu Chee Fah, Chiang Rai. How about natural hot spring, Sai Ngam for next stop? Thanks for a fantastic video!
That flower field was truly breathtaking!
You should try selling the chickens life insurance 😁
Seriously! Lmao
Life is about moments...Serg took us to quite a few little towns by bike 🏍, the sunflower flourishes well on nice weather...surprisingly it grows well in Asian region...the Microwave village looks interesting, looks like they're luving a simple lifestyle with basic amenities..children are happy folks...hills region are nice to be...thanks for sharing this places...fun time ahead
I am loving this trip so much! I think everyone will really enjoy the next video
ยินดีต้อนรับสู่แม่ฮ่องสอน ขอให้คุณมีความสุข❤❤
Thank you so much for your kind words
Wow ❤
So amazing.
Serg you;re living the dream, two wheels and the open road...
I would want to do this one, and later the Viet trip, up into the mountains near China and back of course.
I can’t tell you how much fun I’m having on this trip. New video tonight.
Enjoy🤗🤗🤗
Thanks!
"This road is just delicious" Haha 😁 This decribes all this trip.
He he he. Yes so much fun. More to come!
Have a safe ride🙏
Thanks!
อย่าลืมไปเที่ยวเชียงรายมีงานแสดงศิลปะนานาชาติวันที่9เดือนธันวาคมและไปเที่ยวกว๊านพะเยาด้วยนะครับและวันที่26一27มีงานลอยกระทงทุกจังหวัด
That’s not going to happen on this trip. I’ll save it for another trip.
Take care yourself Serg...Be Careful...........From Bay Area Daly City
Hello Foggy City! Hope all well!
Thailand have many beautiful places that foreigners don’t know. We have beautiful nature and cultural places to visit.☺️💕💕 not only Pattaya, Lady boys and prostitute.
Yes, I know, that is why I’m traveling to visit all these different places
@@LifewithSerg I just subscribed your channel! Your videos is amazing 💕 Thank you so much for showing a beautiful place in Thailand. I enjoy it a lot! ☺️💕
❤Travelling by moterbike so the best and have checked view aroud very good beautiful unseen😅😊
Thanks a lot 😊
Welcome to the North thailand.
Love it
Love it
You run on Road No. 4009, a rural road in Mae Hong Son. It is quite winding and steep, but the nature on both sides of the road is very nice and the views are amazing.😂❤
Yes it’s so beautiful.
TOGETHER FIND.
TOGETHER COUNT.
Sounds good!
Thought you were talking about seeing 7-Eleven in that village
LMAO
สวยมากค่ะ🎉🎉🎉
Oh yes it was amazing
It must be very cold especially in the early morning years ago I came back to pattaya from Chan my I started at 5 a.m. I remember the date as it was the 5 December and it was the coldest I've ever been in Thailand
It’s been about 27 to 28° during the day. The coldest I’ve experienced was one morning in the mountains going through the fog at 18°.
Do you plan to visit Ban Rak Thai? It is so beautiful and interesting.
Absolutely!
ไปตอนเย็น ค้าง1คืนบนนั้น ดีสุด เคยไปเลยบอกได้
Great, thank you so much
Khun youm is japanese base in WW2.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ohhh. Interesting
Hey Serg there is indeed more then massages and beaches to see in Thailand. The north and mainland are also real gems.
I couldn’t agree more. I’m really loving the scenery up here.
@@LifewithSerg I saw no speedbumps Lucky you. Some roads are very sketchy. You must be concentrated on the road i think
สวยมาก ฉันไม่เคยไปเลย
It’s such an amazing thing to see. And it only blooms once a year, and just for a few weeks.
Yes, we need some source of adventure making our brain exercises!
Totally agree
On the road to Pai. Sunflowers tomorrow!!
You’re in for such a treat!
mini sunflower is so cute (buatong)
Yes this was amazing!
Doi Mea UKo district in Mea Hong Son is the only one that you can view Bou Thong flowers full field in short period around 3weeks afterthat the flowers will down. Good luck you have proper time to see the flowers in time.
Yes! I got very lucky that I happen to be going through this area.
Serg, you are living the life!!! I hope to retire there someday. Is Ayutthaya on your list? It’s known for their temple ruins.
I’ve been there several times. Look at my older videos from last year.
Changmai to Maehongsorn is 1,864 curves and must fill up gas at Maehongsoorn ,Pyle,and chaangmai because there are not too many gas station.
There are plenty of gas stations all along on this loop. I never had any problems finding gas.
how cool would it be to be there before sunrise in the morning :D
You’re absolutely right, that would be amazing. I’m just too lazy to have done it. Lol.
yeah me too :X @@LifewithSerg
That B2 hotel is well worth every penny.
$37 per night in NY or even countryside will get you nowhere as nice as that.
I staid at two of the chains hotels on that trip, and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality on the price
Loved the video, where did you end up eating at....Matt
I couldn’t find it on the map and I forgot to drop a pin so unfortunately that one has lost
Sorry I haven't seen your videos before, really interesting and informative but most of all you appear to be enjoying yourself which is portrayed on your video. Another sorry I didn't catch your name. Thanks for the vibe.. Les from Brisbane Australia.
Hello Les! Welcome aboard. My name is Serg, hence the name of the channel “life with Serg”. I’m glad you’re enjoying my videos, and also very happy that you can see how much I’m enjoying myself.

Phitsanulok is my hometown. It's beautiful and worth visiting!
We call these flower vaivakawn or bawngpu par here in our local
Ah ok
I wish I can go to there one day
You should go. It’s amazing.
Braised pork leg in soy sauce and egg? I am so jealous of you. Have a sage.ride Serg.
Yeah, that was delicious!
