I finally payed my house and land off yesterday so now I can save to come join you in paradise .I love all the motor sports can't wait to watch so many motor sports. Long tail boats and I'm hanging to see yours .
I really enjoy what you put out, real life on the road, not all things come out the way you like it to but if you make it back home safely then its a great ride.
You'd love the coastal roads in Phuket, from Naiharn in the south all the way up to Nai Yang in the north. EPIC bendy roads, inclines, declines & amazing views. Have you been?
chad you were born to do what you are doing! i feel the 3 top you tubers are in Thailand or anywhere on you tube 1CB Media 2. Thai girl gift -n- Foreigner Joe.3 Ride 4 Kicks
Ya take your time it's not about the destination , it's about the journey ! Not like your boss is going to piss and moan , have a beer and chill dude, be safe ! Cheers !
Another good one! Wow! That landscape is lush and green. I particularly love the spinning put your pants on move. LOL. And the “bacon on the hoof“ in the truck. Yum Yum. I’m sure tomorrow will go better for you. All the best to you from San Diego California. Love traveling with you.
4:57 Holy cow Chad!!!!! How did you just do that??? I've tried it six times nowwith three different types of blue jeans and I can't get a single one to go on like that. Now I'm dizzy. I'll try again at the end of the video....... LOL Okay....... video is done, let's try this spin trick again............ uummm, nope. SMH. Guess I'll leave it to the professionals. LOL
Mate- done that road a few times in rain, not fun on any bike After Pai the next village is Pang Mapha. At the end of the village on the left is a good coffee stop After MaeHong Son the next major town is Khun Yuan. Good coffee shop on left on way into town
You made the right decision dude. Better safe than sorry. And there isn't no hurry anyway. Too many farangs in Thailand have scooter accidents. Stay safe.
Coffee 10 years ago was that Nestle stuff in a tube, now you can get really good coffee just about anywhere along the road. BTW it rains in the rainy season LOL.
Great vid dude but if you are worried about oil slicks, you should also be worried about crossing those white painted lines in the wet ESPECIALLY when cornering. They can he as slippery as a madams hand in a drunk farang pocket! Be safe dude!
Entertaining vlog Chad. But!! May I point out the way you say route is wrong man..you say it like the word out but the e on the end of route should be said as if you were saying root.yes I'm from the UK..lol..I like what you do very much.rides for kickz is copying you though..so you may cross paths on your ROOT..lol
It's bringing back fond memories for me. 8 years ago I was on the same roads, although going in the opposite direction and on a push bike - it rained hard on me as well.
Stay in the moment where everything is great and your wisdom is refreshing. At the end of the video your comments were perfect thank you. See you tomorrow. Stay safe.
It’s not a CB media video if everything goes to plan beautiful temple though and such a shame we didn’t get to see the erotic park I hear the shafts are epic
Yessss , brilliant,the only thing keeping me sane in Lockdown,yes Cape Town still in Lockdown as is the entire country!!but CB saves the day!! We want more...We want more !!!
I laughed, I cried and even cheered. Chad that was awesome. Not another fail but just one more experience most never have. Man I was glad you didn't have a better bike because that turn outside of Coffee Hill you could've laid down.
Temperature drop drastically as you climb the Mae Hong Son loop. Not much daylight too, by 5:00pm it will get dark! Good to have extra clothing like warmer jacket, rain coats, more riding gloves to keep warm, your fingers gonna be frostbite with all the cold air coming if your bike doesn't have any handguards. How cold can it be, it's only Thailand, let you have a go, then you'll know how cold it be in the coldest part of the country. In Thailand majority of the Bigger bikes will start with 300cc and above. Other countries will have the 250cc variant due to DL classes but in Thailand majority are all 300cc and above. Can you survive the Mae Hong Son loop with only 155cc Yamaha Aerox ? Yes you can .... slow ride and real difficult to climb, as some roads are so steep, but you will enjoy your ride. What's the best bike for this Adventure? Minimum 300cc, comfortable somewhere around 500cc, Superb for 800cc, 1,000cc and above can be done. Khrap 🙏😻
Dude! That short cut you took would have me turning around immediately! I don’t know how you have the balls to push forward in situations like that. Now that you have your own personal helmet you need to find an air brush artist or vinyl wrap place to pimp it out all CB Media style!
@@philiploydrecto1043 they're 6 ton tyres, all trucks here add 20 extra spring leafs, 2 - 4 extra shocks and steel back wheels with truck tyres so they can carry upto 6 tons.
is it sad that with just the mention of "a garden," i knew exactly what garden you were talking about? 😆😆😆 Also, phuket has some awesome twisties, but the trouble is being able to hit them when traffic is low (which is hard to judge and kinda rare)
I agree Chad, Temples in Thailand are so beautiful and serene. No Matter you are religious or not but once you go inside and sit there for a while, they start to draw you towards them. It is just an unexplainable thing which I have experienced too.
😎👍 Thats one of the many reasons i enjoy your vids..... Its relaxed and "normal"..... (S**t happens to you to)😂 besides its Thailand !!!! Great City vibes and Countryside Keep up th good work 🙌 🐯👍
That was some solid rain... I live in Chiangmai, and have been wanting to do the loop for months. It will be soon, maybe next week. I have a Yamaha NMAX 155, and had originally planned to ride that. However, I just returned from a long trip down south to Ko Phayam, with stays in Hua Hin and Bangkok. Almost 3,000kms on that thing, and I am certain it's not for long rides. It will do it, but damn uncomfortable. So, for the Mae Hong Son ride I've decided to rent a V-Strom 650 or CB500. More comfortable and way more fun. No struggling up the hills for me! It'll be cool to see how the rest of your ride goes. I'll be watching from the comfort of my condo in Chiangmai...
just wanna let you know that how much i enjoy your videos bro and wanna say that anytime you are back in pattaya let me know i buy you , your favourite liquid , and no i dont mean M150 lol, and what i appreciate most is that you are ligit , not like other fake assss youtubers just say or do someting for likes
DO GOOD BE GOOD AND EVERYTHING WILL BE oK ! thai proverb too ! do it like this and you everyday life will be more nice, great fail, but it's the journey, really enjoy follow you, I had the same view of travel.
I paid £375 for a Shoei helmet in the UK...You pay $18 for a helmet with a Shoei shaped Index logo on. Chad just buy a $2 Tupperware box, it'll be stronger.
I drove a Benelli TNT 300 to the mountains north of Chiang Mai, it was really nice to have real tires and brakes there... Especially with packing of 320 kg / 705 pounds. One problem though was my lady that were afraid I would drive too fast, so back I was driving slow, downwards. Which led to overheated engine x-) , and it shut off! Had to cool the engine down 1.5 hours. Good lesson.
When I saw the pig truck, and he reacted to the odour, all I could think about was Charlie Daniels "Chicken Truck" 😆😄😂😆😄😆😄😂🤣. It's rainy season, man up, and "git er done". After the winder, I was wondering how long it would be, till he went back to do it in a car lol.
CB MEDIA, thanks for sharing your experience living in Thailand. I am a US citizen and my question is there US citizen can buy any piece of land in Thailand..? Cuz I'm planning moving to Thailand. To open a small business in Thailand and enjoy my new life in Thailand. Thanks brother.. Drive safe..
I know you fly in and rent a bike, I watched your video explaining all that….but just think HOW different this experience COULD have been…if you were on a Honda Monkey bike. Think about it. Ok. Now go buy one!
TESCO and Big C just like a Super Walmart or Target. I would ride a motor bike out on Rama 2 where I am. Traffic isn't all that bad, but to ride where you are in Bangkok...nope. Won't ride on Sukhumvit...couldn't pay me enough. On Nut same same...not gonna do it.
Took my travel girfriend from chang mai to pai on what we thought was a 250cc bike.... Construction trucks on every corner, not enough power to get us up the windy mountain roads. We get there and one of the locals fills us in on our bike, they put a 250cc sticker over the 125cc sticker. Thing couldnt get out its own way with 2 people on it going uphill for 100 miles
That Tyrone II has a little bit of the Jeep Wrangler stylings as well... India makes a Jeep like vehicle also Suzuki... Your Vlogs are a great escape during these Snow storms in the Mountains of California.. Great job keep them up..
Epic sights there. Architecture, the countryside, the beaches and nightlife... Bangkok or small villages. Is it difficult or expensive to rent a car there?
thanks fro bringing us along; BTW Bangkok, I jump the Motorbike Taxis, they are pros and always get it done, no problems , no conflicts. Walking in Bangkok is another thing altogether, while walking down the sidewalk, you may well be over run by a speeding motor bike short cutting a traffic jam, then much like being in a Jason Borne movie, instantaneously you will need to develop Ninja skills in order to survive.
just did the ride today and got nailed Chad style with two downpours, luckily i got under shelter just in time to avoid any big soakage. Also luckily, they were two relatively short downpours and i eventually made it to Pai before night fall.. There's a rest stop about 30 k from coffee hill. Just barely... There lots of good snacks at the few but friendly stores on the way... and some truck was dropping alot of cabbages because there were cabbages every few km... a few villagers even picked them up and had them ready for cleaning on their table. Let's be frank about this scenic but dangerous route. You gotta do it as dry as possible. it's got more hairpins than a 1970's curler bag. I wasn't gonna look for homestays in the middle of nowhere so I had about 30 minutes of inching my way around the wet corners. The locals on bikes lead the example, puttering along when they do the mountains in the rain. They know best.
Mate - if you have time back in Chiang Mai- go up Doi Suthep, see the temple and all that. Then keep going up past Royal Palace and then go down to Doi Pui Hmong village. Walk up the alleyway a little bit to a small shop on left. Has the best Kho Soi in Chiang Mai. They are Muslim, man has a Muslim hat. Then go up hill to beautiful flower gardens. Coffee Shop with great view at top. Enjoy. Drew
Stop moaning Chad 😂 ..you are in Thailand!! Think of a lot of your viewers who are stuck in the US and ..the UK with no hope of getting back to SE Asia anytime soon.
What time of year was this, I am planning to do Mae Hong Son next year and was planning end Sept/beginning Oct, but don’t want to have to take heavy riding gear. Planning to hire a Honda CB500X for the trip.
Hi Chad, i think its time to invest in a 360 camera. It is massively not safe to ride a bike with 1 hand holding a camera. With 360 camera just pan to the desired scene in post. Seriously consider this.
Come on Chad, That fluid on the road thing only works when rain is infrequent When its all the time, no biggie I'm in Southern california, yeah, thats the the thing here because it rains about 15 days a year here so when it rains... your screwed, oil is happening
You've got over 100000 subscribers you selling merchan dice and you've just gone and bought a tissue for a crash helmet I think riding a bike in Thailand you're going to regret it the heads two most important part what are you thinking RIP
Been to many South East Asian countries and, yeah, I wouldn't want to ride a motorbike in any of those cities??!! I also stay away from the motorbike taxi in Thailand?!! Although had to ride those twice because had no choice?
if you like really curvy roads with hills you can try highway 11 out of Kirksville,Mo., its like driving your car on a roller coaster but with lots of curves!. btw just so you know, its considered one of the most dangerous and deadly highways in Missouri!.

Notice that Index helmet was wrapped in a Shoe logo. Gott love Thailand
That Truck looks alot like the Toyota FJ 4x4 it was like 4x4 of the year in like 2015 or 16 i belive cool trucks 🚚
I want to go on a trip like you.,👍👍

Hey, when you have crazy stuff happen...it is fun, amusing and entertaining for us. A perfect trip is not fun.
Ya take your time it's not about the destination , it's about the journey ! Not like your boss is going to piss and moan , have a beer and chill dude, be safe ! Cheers !
"Mai Pen Rai" - This is the attitude to have when travelling.
Your welcome krap
Hey Chad, it does get cold in the mornings in Pai.. hope you have some warm shirts.
Another good one! Wow! That landscape is lush and green. I particularly love the spinning put your pants on move. LOL. And the “bacon on the hoof“ in the truck. Yum Yum. I’m sure tomorrow will go better for you. All the best to you from San Diego California. Love traveling with you.

Mate- done that road a few times in rain, not fun on any bike
After Pai the next village is Pang Mapha. At the end of the village on the left is a good coffee stop
After MaeHong Son the next major town is Khun Yuan. Good coffee shop on left on way into town
You made the right decision dude. Better safe than sorry. And there isn't no hurry anyway. Too many farangs in Thailand have scooter accidents. Stay safe.
As always you were lucky to find cover just in time.
You drive the bike like a local thru town, great video
Coffee 10 years ago was that Nestle stuff in a tube, now you can get really good coffee just about anywhere along the road. BTW it rains in the rainy season LOL.
There is a waterfall about 10 km. outside of town.
Great vid dude but if you are worried about oil slicks, you should also be worried about crossing those white painted lines in the wet ESPECIALLY when cornering. They can he as slippery as a madams hand in a drunk farang pocket! Be safe dude!

Well dun c all way positive,good man🇮🇪👍👍
Curvy mountain roads are what we motorcycle guys call “twisties” ✌️
Stay in the moment where everything is great and your wisdom is refreshing. At the end of the video your comments were perfect thank you. See you tomorrow.
Stay safe.
Chad had four hundred turns on the bike before he even left Chang Mai!
Great failures today CB thanks for taking us along.
How can anyone give you the thumps down. Thailand's vlogger of the year 2020. For content and style. Early start good idea.
It’s not a CB media video if everything goes to plan beautiful temple though and such a shame we didn’t get to see the erotic park I hear the shafts are epic

Beautiful places wonderful temple great nature of Thailand 🇹🇭. Great road tour 👍
That is what is so exciting about your trip, the one that didn’t go as planned. Because you are different!
I know there's no manual clutch, but does that bike have manual gear selection? I would think that could help quite a bit on the climbs.
Thanks for keeping me company Chad during the situation.
'That truck has a blow off valve', just as you said that i knew you were about to notice that truck had 10 organic dump valves facing right at you.
Hahaha. They do really stink. And yes, that truck definitely is modded. Seemed to run a drag slicks in the back
@@philiploydrecto1043 they're 6 ton tyres, all trucks here add 20 extra spring leafs, 2 - 4 extra shocks and steel back wheels with truck tyres so they can carry upto 6 tons.
You ride as crazy as me. I love it!!
Hey mate, I live in Phuket and have been following you now for a few months. Loving the content and giving me inspiration for more local travel.
$18 for a helmet? I'm thinking their R and D department is non-existent for that price. Even in Thailand. Just buy a Shoei and take it with you.
Actually Index Brand has passed Thailand industrial standard. So it's good quality and can actually protect your head.
See ya tomorrow dude be safe 🍻
is it sad that with just the mention of "a garden," i knew exactly what garden you were talking about? 😆😆😆
Also, phuket has some awesome twisties, but the trouble is being able to hit them when traffic is low (which is hard to judge and kinda rare)
Brilliant Chad! 👍
I agree Chad, Temples in Thailand are so beautiful and serene. No Matter you are religious or not but once you go inside and sit there for a while, they start to draw you towards them. It is just an unexplainable thing which I have experienced too.
“Later Piggos” - Chad Bee 😂😂😂😂
5:06 perfect 'piggy' banks! 555, sure smelly!
18 on headgear is much better than none
😎👍 Thats one of the many reasons i enjoy your vids..... Its relaxed and "normal".....
(S**t happens to you to)😂
besides its Thailand !!!! Great
City vibes and Countryside
Keep up th good work 🙌

Hello Chad I can't find next clip that you're continued to Pai
Did the Mae Hong Son loop on a 125cc Honda click with my gf, so I know what you mean when you say not enough power lol
Absolute minimum 300cc needed
just wanna let you know that how much i enjoy your videos bro and wanna say that anytime you are back in pattaya let me know i buy you , your favourite liquid , and no i dont mean M150 lol, and what i appreciate most is that you are ligit , not like other fake assss youtubers just say or do someting for likes

What are you shooting your motorbike rides with? And the sound?
I really like that you say my name multiple times per vid.

DO GOOD BE GOOD AND EVERYTHING WILL BE oK ! thai proverb too ! do it like this and you everyday life will be more nice, great fail, but it's the journey, really enjoy follow you, I had the same view of travel.
I paid £375 for a Shoei helmet in the UK...You pay $18 for a helmet with a Shoei shaped Index logo on. Chad just buy a $2 Tupperware box, it'll be stronger.
รถบ.ไทยรุ่งฯ... แต่เครื่องยนต์Toyota...
The thairung is actually a toyota hilux underneath, they just give them a new body.
cool trick chad
Chiang Mai is crazy to drive around on a motorbike. I did it a few times, but it is not relaxing. Outside the city it is a bliss. Love your video's.
When it rains, try not going too fast.ทางโค้งอันตรายมาก
Enjoyed it.. lovely countryside...but understand the weather just got beyond being safe on the bike... safety is paramount..
Should have bought a helmet at CMB Chiang Mai Bike Shop at 107 Mahidol Road Chiang Mai , not far from the airport
I drove a Benelli TNT 300 to the mountains north of Chiang Mai, it was really nice to have real tires and brakes there... Especially with packing of 320 kg / 705 pounds.

Talk about 'challenging'.

Stop moaning Chad 😂 ..you are in Thailand!! Think of a lot of your viewers who are stuck in the US and ..the UK with no hope of getting back to SE Asia anytime soon.
What time of year was this, I am planning to do Mae Hong Son next year and was planning end Sept/beginning Oct, but don’t want to have to take heavy riding gear.

You are a god to bucket list junkies,thank you brotha,live long and prosperous..sincerely..Clio.
You should buy a set of rain gear with waterproof jacket, pants and a waterproof backpack for your gear. This is Thailand, expect the unexpected !!
Come on Chad, That fluid on the road thing only works when rain is infrequent When its all the time, no biggie I'm in Southern california, yeah, thats the the thing here because it rains about 15 days a year here so when it rains... your screwed, oil is happening
That's a fancy new brain bucket! It would look better with some CB Media stickers though. You run out???
You've got over 100000 subscribers you selling merchan dice and you've just gone and bought a tissue for a crash helmet I think riding a bike in Thailand you're going to regret it the heads two most important part what are you thinking RIP
Did you buy the helmet at Lotus?
Where about is the store?
I will be in Chiang Mai in November and will need to buy a couple of helmets.
Thanks
