Hi Daren. I have followed you for a few years and have always enjoyed your content. I have lived in Thailand for 32 years, although like you I still love England, but Thailand is my home. My point is I have noticed a change in your overall attitude and your sense of well being, with a sense of calmness. Enjoy your new found self. Hope to run into you sometime. Cheers.
*Perfect tune for a ride out.* That coastline. Beautiful. What a ride. Happy Days. A windy day. Thailand. Beautiful. But brings out the trolls. Ignore those that do not matter and enjoy your journey.
Happy New Year Darren love the content and please continue to do the vlogs you're way its all about discovery. Im amused everyone tells you how to do it 😅
As you're a rider I recommend you do the "Mae Hong Son Loop" Up in the mountains between Thailand and Myanmar is outstanding. You can do 3 or 5 days (normal). Fly up to Chiang Mai, rent a bike and set off. Mae Sot to Mae Sariang/Mae Lanoi and from there to Pai are 2 of the best roads I've ever ridden. 👍
Hi Darren, staying in Hua Hin at the moment and decided to take a drive down the Thailand Riviera and a night in Sam Roi Yot, then a couple of nights in Pratchup Kiri Khan, when you get a bigger bike you really should have a trek over here it’s amazing the coastal drive is fantastic 😂👍🍺
Hi I am doing ok DJ , Great you got a bigger bike you wanted in the first first But test the scooter and the road first before you decide to get a bigger bike I understand So great the along the beach and sorry you pick the wrong day while it very windy and I love the music call Rain Quail a brilliant song
Hi i am not surprised you feel the need to escape pattaya, i am not sure where your base is, but my own experience was this, not being a boozer and seeing guys proping up the bar at ten in the morning, i looked at pratumnak, and jomtien much quiter locations,lived here six years all told.
I recommend Ban Ampur beach too as not as far as Bang Saray from Jomtien….nice beach with some good seafood restaurants & cafes & nice condos around there too…plus others recommend the beaches at sattahip navy beaches…👀🤔😎
Just started watching your channel, which I have enjoyed. Pattaya is not for me - my least favourite place in Thailand. I like Chiang Khan, Khon Kaen, Hua Hin, Hat Yai and Kanchanaburi
Tried to find Bangsaray on Google Maps but not sure it came up for me. Any chance you could show a Map with each Video, so we can see the area and location you are visiting. Is this Bang Sare on the map as spelling looks similar ?
Darren you content is great and really enjoyable to watch , never let the haters get you down there only living in there own sad world to hurt others .
Now you got proper wheels , Thailand is yours to explore and blooming lovely it looks , I think we will get minus 2 degrees tonight in Essex so spare a thought for us …Thanks for showing us around , keep them coming.
Be careful on that bike Darren. It only takes someone to pull out from the side and it’s game over. The don’t take road safety as serious as we do in the UK.
Hi Darren it is about 320 km approx 4 hours or so by road. I am a U.K. expat living a little outside Hua Hin. If you would like a few hints to the area feel free to reply and maybe chat by private message
I remember, a few years ago, watching a Vietnam documentary by the great Ken Burns. The meticulous research, the poignant imagery, the perfectly balanced soundscape all combining with the beautifully assembled narrative to form a body of work that I thought would never be surpassed. How wrong I was.
On a really warm day... I bet that sea breeze coming in feels absolutely fantastic my friend... Here over the weekend... We could see up to 40cm of Snow Darren... But you'll be in sunny Thailand getting a nice tan... While we're all sat here shivering in the subzero temperatures pal... ❄🥶🤣 Many thanks for the video Darren... All the very best... Cheers mate. 🍺
OTC - Almost 13,000 views in 9 Hours is Amazing and the count is growing. You are smashing it DJ. Many other Channels who have covered Bangsaray get - 2K - 5K - 10K views. You must be doing something right. Well done DJ.
I am starting to really want to visit Thailand since you have been posting from there. Nice bike, weather looked ideal. I bit dryer than when you took Daisy down to Tenerife. Did that ever rain..
Love seeing this new content Darren - even though I'm not into bikes, I still watch every vid that you put out since being in Thailand. Keep em coming DJ.
Before you get the drone out, there are a lot of permits and licenses you need to fly a drone in thailand, if you don't have them you'll lose the drone
DJ, I think tides do not go out as far in Thailand since it is closer to the equator, so the effects of the moon are not as large. But i may be wrong. V
I love Bangsaray some great seafood restaurants, if you want to sea a really beautiful beach near Pattaya try Sao Kaew beach it’s on a naval base and there’s a small entry fee but well worth a visit
Really enjoying your videos thanks Darren. I've been thinking about retiring there, albeit it will be a few years yet before I can, but you're doing it exactly how I envisage doing it 👍 BTW I think they pronounce it 'Hoy Hin'
Darren I might be wrong (& no one cares either way) however my observation of late is that you seemed happier with your life choices! Last few vids I’ve watched you appear to be more concerned with what others are saying? Get back to doing what you want & don’t let negativity concern you!!! To use your own quotes “Life’s To Short”
The tide times very during the seasons this time of the year the tide comes in closer and can be a bit choppy. During the summer months it goes right out and weather permitting it’s like a milk pond
Hi Darren I can see the weight of worry and stress has been removed from your shoulders Have a great life thank you for taking us with yo cheers Andy 👍
HI Darren Another excellent video really looking forward to your venture,just forget about all these people who must be jealous on what you are doing,you have worked hard all your life and now is the time to enjoy. I know one think Darren I would rather be .in Thailand where you have great people good food and a great climate and its cheaper, Ok you miss family but hope they can visit you or you can return back to the UK for a visit. I loved it when you were on your bike seeing that lovely countryside in the hot weather ,last night in the UK it was freezing temperature went down to minus 7 degrees. Enjoy your journey,thank you for sharing.

*Perfect tune for a ride out.*
That coastline. Beautiful.
What a ride.
Happy Days.
A windy day.
Thailand. Beautiful. But brings out the trolls.
Ignore those that do not matter and enjoy your journey.
Worth hiring a bike just to enjoy them lovely quiet wide open roads! 👌
G'day Darren love the videos mate thank you Shane in Sydney 🦘 🇦🇺
Thanks Darren for a great ride and video too but please take care on your bike! ❤🎉
Hi Darren getting to know Thailand quite well just watched Geoff Carters vlog where he has flown to Chang Mai….Brilliant both vlogs.❤
Smart bike that Darren 😎 looks nice there Mate 👍
Nice ride
Waves??? It was windy...55
Also you came on very busy day for Bang Saray....
Sum Wave
Happy New Year Darren love the content and please continue to do the vlogs you're way its all about discovery. Im amused everyone tells you how to do it 😅
Morning Darren,
How’s the new bike. Enjoy the freedom of the road. Nice video.
See you soon, Paul
Looks lovely mate , when we’re over in February we’re looking to find a place to buy a bit further south in Ban Phe areas
Are you going to try The Biker Cafe, Sattahip, Thailand?
Shall see where it is
Doing a great job and will get better , everyone is different as you say , it can’t be easy putting these together “ I wouldn’t know where to start 👍
It’s not very tidal, just slightly. Very muddy bottom & very shallow. Have to go out very far to get any depth. Normally very calm sea there.
Easy Rider comes to mind D J Happy days 🥰 from Madge
Big thanks to you mate the that funky dance Track Sum Wave by 'Purple Lilles'
As you're a rider I recommend you do the "Mae Hong Son Loop" Up in the mountains between Thailand and Myanmar is outstanding.
You can do 3 or 5 days (normal). Fly up to Chiang Mai, rent a bike and set off.
Mae Sot to Mae Sariang/Mae Lanoi and from there to Pai are 2 of the best roads I've ever ridden.
👍
Hi dj nice scenery nothing like a ride out of town good to see they drive on the left the bike looks good too. ❤❤😄😄
Great seafood restaurants in Bang Saray. Also try the Big Buddha mountain (Khao chi chan), that's worth seeing too 😊
Darren , take that bike back and swap it for the triumph speed triple 675 I think you'll be impressed regards Jim.
They didnt have one for hire
Hi Darren, staying in Hua Hin at the moment and decided to take a drive down the Thailand Riviera and a night in Sam Roi Yot, then a couple of nights in Pratchup Kiri Khan, when you get a bigger bike you really should have a trek over here it’s amazing the coastal drive is fantastic 😂👍🍺
Great reccomendation that one 👍
king tides, lots of erosion on the East coasts. Just assuming its an East coast
Nice to have that extra power on throttle now 👍
Bang Saray is tidal, it’s a beautiful place, good food at the Little Mermaid 👍🙏
Hi I am doing ok DJ , Great you got a bigger bike you wanted in the first first But test the scooter and the road first before you decide to get a bigger bike I understand So great the along the beach and sorry you pick the wrong day while it very windy and I love the music call Rain Quail a brilliant song
Hey up Darren thanks for your video looking forward to the road trip, how much is fuel in Thailand
Hi i am not surprised you feel the need to escape pattaya, i am not sure where your base is, but my own experience was this, not being a boozer and seeing guys proping up the bar at ten in the morning, i looked at pratumnak, and jomtien much quiter locations,lived here six years all told.

This is more like the dj content we like to see
Please explain what this visa is you need to get.Is it a 30 day extension to your 60 day visa exempt entry?Best wishe.s pal
i will
Difference gear wise between UK & Thai biking, in Thailand it's just pot helmet, shades & flip flops..!
Just started watching your channel, which I have enjoyed. Pattaya is not for me - my least favourite place in Thailand. I like Chiang Khan, Khon Kaen, Hua Hin, Hat Yai and Kanchanaburi
Didn't go for a dip?!
Tried to find Bangsaray on Google Maps but not sure it came up for me. Any chance you could show a Map with each Video, so we can see the area and location you are visiting. Is this Bang Sare on the map as spelling looks similar ?
Yes.. Bang Sare. Another one of many different spellings used.
Think I'd prefer Pattaya beach but a change is as good as a rest. Hows the Yamaha running
Yamaha not bad, miss my V2 ducati
Loving this channel Darren thank you 🎉
Glad you enjoy it!
Darren you content is great and really enjoyable to watch , never let the haters get you down there only living in there own sad world to hurt others .
Have u been 2 NANG RAM BEACH DJ? I think u would really like it!x
What a lovely place. Thank you for showing us. 😊
Loving these videos. 👏🏻😘
Now you got proper wheels , Thailand is yours to explore and blooming lovely it looks , I think we will get minus 2 degrees tonight in Essex so spare a thought for us …Thanks for showing us around , keep them coming.
WOW! Incredible place. Loving the channel.
Looks fab. X
Moto gp Thailand 28th February-2nd March Chang International circuit, not to be missed Darren
Absolutely.
Another great vlog DJ, thank you my friend!
Explore sai kaew navy beach...great place to relax. cleanest water and calm... no sellers pestering you.
Keep up the work.
Awesome govnor 🖤
I thought it was mediocre
Be careful on that bike Darren. It only takes someone to pull out from the side and it’s game over. The don’t take road safety as serious as we do in the UK.
Yes that is what I thought too hate to see him have a horrible accident
or a soi dog.
That must feel amazing jyst riding through by the beach. No traffic. Not crowds. Love it.
Hi Darren it is about 320 km approx 4 hours or so by road. I am a U.K. expat living a little outside Hua Hin. If you would like a few hints to the area feel free to reply and maybe chat by private message
Nice video showing us around Thailand 🎉
Go to an agent for your visa, it may cost a bit more for commission but you'll be done in an hour
I remember, a few years ago, watching a Vietnam documentary by the great Ken Burns. The meticulous research, the poignant imagery, the perfectly balanced soundscape all combining with the beautifully assembled narrative to form a body of work that I thought would never be surpassed.
How wrong I was.
Some bloke in a brothel town with a phone. lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Makes me eager to visit Asia
On a really warm day... I bet that sea breeze coming in feels absolutely fantastic my friend... Here over the weekend... We could see up to 40cm of Snow Darren...

i have them
@@DarrenJohnfast reply😂, have to ask if your condo is just a base why spend so much on a 2 bed, could have got a nice one for half the price
@@smrriles5668it's for when his family comes to stay with him
@@smrriles5668 For friends and family to visit
Do not disagree or you will be asked to show ze papers!
Do check the Drone permits out and the laws before launching:-)
The fines are high
I have what i need
I’m enjoying your content…please keep it coming, but let’s not play silly buggers with click bait.
i'm not
Happy New Year Darren !! You are going to be the best in Thailand absolutely love your content .. the Best way to travel on a Motorbike for sure . 🎉🎉
Happy new year!
You should get yourself over to koh larn mate it's a beautiful island and only 30 baht for the ferry or 300 baht for a speedboat
How was the XSR 700. Could you have done with the 900?
700 is enough
DJ, I think tides do not go out as far in Thailand since it is closer to the equator, so the effects of the moon are not as large. But i may be wrong. V

Genuine question why do you have your name on your crash helmet?
And don't forget the catchphrase on the side too.....😊
Why not?
It's called advertising his channel, what's the problem with that
In case he loses it
@@Marypoppinshtcdd don't watch then
Hi Darren what a lovelly place wow beautiful😂
BTW way mate you pronounce Hua hin like this sound ,,,, Hwuua hin if that helps
Really enjoying your videos thanks Darren. I've been thinking about retiring there, albeit it will be a few years yet before I can, but you're doing it exactly how I envisage doing it 👍 BTW I think they pronounce it 'Hoy Hin'
what a lovely place bet its nice to be back on a proper bike again Darren ever thought about wearing a mesh amour jacket ?
Darren I might be wrong (& no one cares either way) however my observation of late is that you seemed happier with your life choices! Last few vids I’ve watched you appear to be more concerned with what others are saying?
Get back to doing what you want & don’t let negativity concern you!!!
To use your own quotes “Life’s To Short”
*too
@ 😂
Who cares what people think Darren, you are living your dream life so do what you want when you want 😊
Thanks Darren👍
The tide times very during the seasons this time of the year the tide comes in closer and can be a bit choppy. During the summer months it goes right out and weather permitting it’s like a milk pond
😊👍🏼🙏🏼
I think the saying is ‘ like a mill pond’
Looked a bit choppy out there DJ 🌊🌊🌊
Looks like tide is in & windy probably not the best time to visit
Good to see you out and about & thanks for sharing DJ 😎💨🌊
Nice to see the bike this time she’s a beaut 👌
Ment great
Hi Darren I can see the weight of worry and stress has been removed from your shoulders

HI Darren Another excellent video really looking forward to your venture,just forget about all these people who must be jealous on what you are doing,you have worked hard all your life and now is the time to enjoy.
I know one think Darren I would rather be .in Thailand where you have great people good food and a great climate and its cheaper,
Ok you miss family but hope they can visit you or you can return back to the UK for a visit.
I loved it when you were on your bike seeing that lovely countryside in the hot weather ,last night in the UK it was freezing temperature went down to minus 7 degrees.
Enjoy your journey,thank you for sharing.
