- In this episode we head down to catch the ferry going to Koh Chang Island. Although the perils of the rainy season are upon us, will it dampen our good time and make this otherwise beautiful Island become our worst nightmare or will we learn that when it rains, it pours. Come along for the ride and find out!

Even though it's raining.. Thailand being tropical..is lush and still warm. I love all the green of the lawns and plants..fantastic.
Anyone who has ever rode a bike for any period of time, has dropped one. A blinker is nothing, thankfully neither of you were hurt aside from a little pride. The room and buffet, for the price, fantastic. Very nice, especially coming of the road on a bike in the rain. Nothing like a hot meal hot shower and hell yeah a nice robe and slippers and good nights rest and sleep... Lucas you have done it again... great post, great adventure and well done show... ok all that food I need to find something to snack on lol...
104 best to drop it then it coming out from under you. ive dumped mine 3 time and worst was a grass field and i got a bruise and didn't even notice it till 3 days gone. And yes it happened in front of lots of people lol
Spent 2 weeks in Koh Chang when i was in Thailand....awesome island...and the main road over the mountain is crazy treacherous
This is my favorite tv show!!!
Rain or shine Rides keeps putting it out there!
Fantastic vlog 🏆
I hope you did not eat that fly @ 16:15 mins 😂😋
Please keep up with the great work 👍✊🏾👍🏻🙏
That hill is lethal after getting off the ferry. We have ridden up and down it many times on 10 inch wheel, 60 year old Lambrettas! It's everyman for himself with no room for error first and second gear only 3rd gear no chance. Besides that it's our favourite place to ride too Koh Chang love it there and a great vlog mate.
I love the rain!! So glad you two weren't hurt from your mishap. That hotel looked nice. Thank you for sharing! Hi Vi👋
Really good Value for a good looking resort. You made good time getting there to!
Absolutely Awesome Room
Another good one....
Poor sods left sun to goto rain..it happens glad ur both safe...vi is loverly.
Nice looking resort, room, breakfast spread and the shrimp soup looked amazing. Thank you for another great video and sharing with us!!!
Even though its raining its still a good trip. I love the way that Thais love to travel in their own country and have a myriad of cheap options available.
Ha that resturant was our favorite, great food, lovely staff. Great to see koh Chang again, stay safe
Glad you made it back to the ferry alive lot of accidents, deaths on the roads on koh chang had 1 on the tight bend going down to lonely beach my poor girlfriend lost a front tooth and badly injured her shoulder, so always play it safe take the sontels very safe and regular if you not experienced Ryder, the island great place white sands got the beer bars, klong prao got best beach,give kai bae a miss unless you like rude Russians, lonely beach great place to chill out, and bang beo great restaurants , can have a few holidays so easy to move around, warapura resort lonely beach is the place to chill out great rooms staff and food.
I've always enjoyed Koh Chang. I'll be back again.
Be sure to check out the quieter east coast. The waterfalls will be awesome in wet season. Also snake season. look forward to seeing your take on Koh Chang. You are in for a shock on the road to lonely beach.
Hey Lucas. Big fan of your vids. I was thinking you should put in google map image of where you are and where going etc. You have done it a few times in different vids and it's always cool to see on a bigger scale. Keep up the good work!
I always end up googleing the places you visit just out of curiosity. I expect others do too.
Looks like a good resort for the price. I look forward to seeing the rest of this trip!
Hope neither of you got injured in your little mishap! Good vid. Looking forward to the next one.
That's a great hotel price. Right now for a superior hillside room on July 14-18 it's about 1,235 Baht without Agoda's add-ons. Papa ain't home....555. Looked like a little beetle was checking out the ham on the buffet. Them taters and beans looked good!
That fly on the buffet.
Looks like the crash protection saved your bodywork in the tip over. If you didn't have the protection the damage might have been worse. The resort looks great, you'd pay a small fortune for something like that in the US.
Its great for me to see this. I was in Kae Bae for a couple of weeks in December and recognise a lot of the roads. The lady at 14:33 organised a fishing trip for me as well as renting me scooter. I am already looking forward to the next installment. Dont miss a visit to Bang Bao Pier.
You are in good place, enjoy and greatful.. I wish I were there
It looks like an interesting place the hotel looks great. Last time I saw Buffet like that was in Shanghai , nice. I love to seawall with the steps that's pretty cool. Thanks again and stay safe. From the US
You are with vee on this trip good one how is the bike going is it done yet.
Thanks again mate for your Video...my Royal Enfield and I dont like the rain....very much fair weather riders
Keep it up Mate
At: 16:14 was that a fly swimming in the ham?? Hahaha, i love Thailand, good job.
fon tok mak mak. enjoy the rainy season. happy 4th
That breakfast looked good ..
The food looked good , until I saw that fly crawling across it 🤔😖😖😖The rest of the place is great 👍
There were also a lot of mosquitoes there, the first stop should be to the 7eleven to buy some of the repellent cream. They were some of the largest mosquitoes I'd ever seen 🤣
The roads in Koh Chang are infamously dangerous. Probably my favorite island. Prices generally are higher there though.
Good video mate ,maybe add a Google maps might help some of us not in Thailand .The motel looks good
Be careful
6:45. Did you list that roach as one of your room occupants?
Have a home on koh Chang cannot wait to get back but don’t know if it’s will happen.
I’m looking forward to Thailand next year towards the end November/December
Hotel looks great for what you paid, anywhere to go for a drink nearby?
so you'll mate Chuck..notime2bsad at the place?
Would be fun to see if the Turskish dude still has the beach huts in Bang Bao (beach after the long pier).
And if Paddy Palms resorts is still alive in white sand beach.
no rain here in rangsit
Drive safe on the wet roads of Koh Chang, they are slippery as hell
KC has certainly changed since I went in '99.
Can only imagne. One boring thing with Thailand is that coming back to a place after a couple of years, nothing is like you remember it.
kinda odd watching this vid and seeing same sites that i watched from another vlogger a month back , they were there before it all kicked off , im sure you know which channel )
Nice vid, can I ask the name is spooky resort, as I can see it there is not a normal beach or I just not see that, is it possible to take a taxi from the pier and do you think its a place for people without car or motorbike...........
I Think the tide was way in when the video was made. I noticed when I went that some beaches got almost disapeared at high tide. I got a taxi from Pattaya to take me right to the hotel on my trip. was expensive at 3500 baht including ferry. Came back on a small coach that held a round 15 people and cost me 950 baht including ferry with hotel pick up.
There is baht busses running around the island if like me you do not hire a vehicle.
Yes, you can get a taxi from the pier to go to any of the areas, there is enough right there to sustain a trip, but I would recommend one of the larger beaches maybe, I go over that in tomorrows episode.
@@Rides4Kickz thank you very much
@@shaggytech1562 thank you I never drive anything in Thailand, little afraid for acident..
I have a odd question .. i understand it's almost always warm/hot but when it's raining is it still warm or gets chilly... so is it a warm rain or cold
it is a warm Rain
The high temp for the rainy days was 26-27 degrees Celsius. I still would call that warm but much cooler than normal.
Cheers from Melbourne
MyThai wife makes soups to die for. I know what you were craving.
koh chang during rainy season is not so fun. Compared to Samet that is pretty close is a big difference
Gee that creek water @ 10:45 looked good, almost as good as Pattaya beach water. Hey did you feel safe riding down to the ferry point from your home town? Could it be done comfortably on a medium sized scooter (150cc) from Pattaya? Cheers.
Why are you doing this?
OMG don't know if anyone caught the cockroach crawling on the hotel counter?! Room was nice but if I saw that checking in I'd check out. Also just saw a towel laid across the TOILET in the room? Ugh yeah this place is a pass IMHO.
Lucas we have been informed in Syd later in the year or next Asia has said we are welcome if we quarantine for 14 days at our cost NO way that will cost heaps that is a joke if after 14 days and we the traveler have picked up the Covid another 14 days at our cost NO way.
Breakfast looks good but the big cockroach walking in the food shocked me
Hey R4K,
I hate to sound like a cry baby.. but I'm sad, angry, pissed off and disappointed that the U.S. is so far behind the C Virus curve, that there's NO WAY I'll be welcome and able to return to Jomtien until NEXT YEAR sometime. Sooooo sad about that! BUT I ENJOY YOUR VIDS.. Thanks.
All the rest of the planet can't get it about the US... I feel so sorry for you.
Love this guy lol
💦💦💦
''Pro Tip'' get a car !!!
TV was pathetic, but not very often a priority for me, so i'd give it a pass. Have better things to do than watch TV in Thailand, or any other place for that matter.
Good price for Koh Chang on the room 900 baht. You're smarter than you look lol.
I am regular visitor to Thailand, unfortunately its very hot sweating, similar to my place in India, except change of place thw wheather is same in Asian countries hot hotter hottest, yes rains are heavy but normally its saltery everywhere.
Funny how the rain doesn't bother me when I'm in Thailand. In fact I find it very relaxing and refreshing. I'm glad you and vee are ok after the biking incident. Shit happens. :)
Nice room with a good discount, internet price 1200 and over 2000 in high season.
Horrible to see Elephants chained up
😂😂
Good trip though so far 👍
Pretty common there ...
Despite the weather Lucas, looks like you were both enjoying yourselves. I'm looking forward to the next one!
Yes, we had a good time overall. Thanks
This hotel room looks the most authentic Thai so far that I've seen. I'm now watching your videos on loop..haaa.
Great place I love Koh Chang. There was a lot to do. I hit the parks, and enjoyed the nightlife. I do not have a bad word to say about the place.
Looks like a great place to stay. I, m hoping when we can finally travel to Thailand again. I fancy doing some of the islands.
Why did you promote the elephants? Chained at the feet restricted, that’s no way to live.
yeah can't believe that stuff is still happening around the world
hay lucas is that your girlfriend i think you told us a while ago she .was just a friend staying with you ..you sly fox lol
Spent 6 days on Koh Chang at the start of feb. Lovely place and as you say it is big and the roads between the main beach areas is very steep with tight hairpin bends and I understand how you managed to drop the bike in that heavy rain. Did 3 days at the Santhiya Tree Koh Chang Resort. Got a good deal for a pool villa otherwise it would be way out of my price range. Spent the last 3 at Paddys palm hotel. Clean basic room for £30 a night but the food from the attached pub is great and good value.
A Visit to the Mango swamp walkway was my highlight. Well worth a visit if nature is your thing.
Yeah, there was a sign at Paddy's saying they moved. Don't know how long the sign has been there though.
I think you have chosen the right time to go. No Chinese tourists you lucky man. Good luck and happy independence day
Rainy is fun for sleeping and eating and no fun for swimming krub.
I am in pattaya this weekend. Its paradise. No crowds, no Chinese and beautiful rooftop pool to ourselves. What a day. Hope everyone is enjoying themselves.
Koh Chang, is my favorite island in Thailand, and favorite roads. But I never go there in the rainy season. I hope the China virus is gone soon so I can go back.
Great video, you do start to realise why wet season is low season. people tend to forget its not always easy travelling in wet season .
Elephants in Koh Chang are abused, I would recommend staying away
Thanks for video. You must be a really good motorcycle rider. I lived almost a year in Patong beach back in 2004 never got on a bike too many accidents. Rode in California for a few years had a Yamaha 1100xs cafe racer with 4 in 1 compaction system, custom 4 barrel carbarateurs and bleed off the gear box, parelli racing slicks, drilled disc's back and front. Loved it was a monster, guy who built it worked for Yamaha I bought it used. Like your Kawasaki, be safe. Jeffrey Stecher Henderson Nevada
That ferry looks like a sardine can death trap, HA! 900 baht for the room including breakfast for two is very good value. July, August and September are the three rainiest months in Thailand so many of the locals don't do a lot of island hopping. November through February are the best months to hit the islands. That fruit spread at the breakfast buffet looked outstanding. Oh how I miss the delicious Thai fruits. As for the fly? Lest we forget that Thailand is one big jungle. Could have been a cobra for God's sake. Great vid mi amigo. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah like koh chang, been quite a few times now. Got quite a few people i know who live in chi Chet I think it's called. Very beautiful place when the sun's out. Things are usually a bit dearer there. Nearly all supplies come on the ferry. Watch the roads they can be a bit treacherous. Enjoy your stay, bri and frei east Yorkshire.
2 types of bikers, those that have laid bike down & those that will,the main thing, no one was injured, & bike only suffered minor damage. I have dropped a few, most embarrassing was turning around in my driveway on hill, after it rained all night, yep, foot slipped, & nothing I could do, bent a mirror stalk.
food looked good, other than fly walking around, lol.
I do really like tropical rain though, after living in southern California for long times....
Koh Chang is one of the Favorite destinations but Come there in december januar per febuary June is ok but some rain. I love that irland...
Oh dear poor bike, it's not called rainy season. I noticed it was shown as Green season for hotel bookings. As I mentioned we were there the week before this. But had a car luckily for the hills.
I rode to mae hong song from rangsit on the vmax, going up the mountain is over a 1000 turns, they are some of the craziest I've been on. you do get a certificate of accomplishment from the tourist centre.
Hi.. whats the name of the dishes you order? Specially the chicken one, i want to try next time when i'm in Thailand. Cheers
I was there about the same time and it rained and rained and rained some more.
Great room for B900 looking forward to seeing breakfast.
Stop in & see my friend Rich at Morgan Bar & Restaurant in Kai Bae, just next to AWA Resort!
Awesome Video
Very beautiful place you are having good time with V there
Thank you for the video. Thumbs UP👍.
Did you go to see elephants the day after? How do they treat these animals?
Yes Curvy steep crazy road I was not a fan of this island
I would say the first 10 minutes I hated the place, but it did grow on me. I will probably return.
Expensive also I discovered everything that comes across on a ferry has a price increase.
Lucas have u tried at your cafe that Almond Flat White extra hot yet.
Nice vid Lucas does not matter if it rains or shines in Thailand.
Haha we see when we can go there...
06:43 | The House Fly sure is a big bloke
Love Koh Chang! Best place in Thailand!
