    My first trip on my Troll was BKK to Cha Am i thought i could do it in 1 day, had to pull up 30km short. That was more a lesson in hydration than a tour but i loved it, my Favourte part of Thai is West. Planning to get a packraft next year so many beautiful waterways to bikeraft. Take care guys love the channel

    • @weridebikesplaces

      How good! Heading south from BKK is an absolute dream! Yeah we love the west coast too, so many nice little islands to explore. I was thinking a bikeraft trip would be epic in Thailand! I'd be interested to see where you end up. Cheers, glad your enjoying the vids 😀

      @weridebikesplaces  5 днів тому +1

      Hi, thanks! Yeah, we rode straight out of don mueng airport, which was pretty easy. It might be a bit harder if you're landing at Suvarnabhumi, but they do have the SkyTrain, you'd have to check the bike rules for that.

      It's not as bad as you'd think. From Don Mueng, you just have to do a little bit of freeway, then you can cross on an overpass, and get to some quieter back roads that take you down to Khao San area. There's a route GPS link in the video description 👍

    I stayed at Kra Buri Pier the other night... what a shithole lolol, no fridge rock hard bed with a bedbug ridden throw over no sheets, it was a fisheries wharf with a narrow street of slum like shacks and stalls.. In Chumphon tonight heading along the coastline to HuaHin over the next 3 days.. Chiang Mai and follow the border down to the bottom and cross through Cambodia and follow the borders all around Vietnam, then same Laos then of to Nepal ...
