      Thank you! It was such a nice route. Good to take a break from our usual touring to do some proper bikepacking

      Thanks. Ha we always feel a bit awkward filming when we're not riding, but have tried to do it more in some of our other videos. Thanks for watching

    You should try it in Indonesia. Crossing strait Mallaca, cycling around Sumatra island, sailing through Sunda strait to Java, after that you will get to Bali.

      Yes we are heading to Indonesia at the start of next year. Currently in Cambodia

      Note that Java is among the most densely populated parts on the planet. I'd take the train to Yogyakarta and start from there eastwards via the southern cost. You have been warned

    This looks incredible. Did the dogs give you any problems?

    • @weridebikesplaces
      @weridebikesplaces  Рік тому

      Some of the dogs in the rural areas get a bit barky, but we've learnt that if you stop on your bike and don't give them something to chase they give up pretty quickly

    Great video. What month were you in Thailand?

      Hi, thanks, glad you enjoyed it! We rode this section in March, which is when it's starting to get really hot. We came back back and rode south in October, which was a much nicer temperature

    Wow! Just discovered your channel and subscribed straight away! Lovely videos❤ But they also make me curious. How do you navigate? Use your phone for that too? How do you find these beautiful quit back roads? Anyway, I look forward to your next video!😊 Stay safe and enjoy!

    • @weridebikesplaces
      @weridebikesplaces  Рік тому +2

      Thank you! We navigate using an app called komoot, which is made for bike touring, to find the quietest roads.
      We are currently in Ho Chi Minh, just finished riding the length of Vietnam, so will be putting together our video from here soon :) Glad your enjoying the videos

    • @SlowMovingSaddles

      @@weridebikesplaces thanks for your reply!🙏🏼 Komoot is an app I use on my phone for hiking so I’ll check this option out for bike touring. Thanks for the tip.
      Vietnam is a nice but quit a busy country as I remember. But most people are friendly and the food is delicious which helps a lot. Hope te see the next video soon😊

    Could you have gotten away without camping and cooking gear? What percentage of nights did you camp out?

    • @weridebikesplaces
      @weridebikesplaces  Рік тому +1

      I'm not sure what you mean by that? We only camped out a few nights in Thailand, probably around 15%, as it was so hot, and was also burning season so we wanted to get inside and escape the smoke. In other places we camp almost all the time

    This route is made by Google map or you just modified?

    • @weridebikesplaces
      @weridebikesplaces  Рік тому +1

      We made the route on komoot, by adding in waypoints that we wanted to stop at, and making sure we avoided main roads as much as possible. We almost never use google maps, it's not a very good app for bike touring

    Kommot is ok for bikepacking off line?

    • @weridebikesplaces
      @weridebikesplaces  Рік тому

      I think you can only download maps for offline use if you pay for the premium version. But I think you can get a free trial to try it out for a month

      I was using my phone and a DJI drone to film for this and my other early videos, but am using a go pro now
