3 Must See Places On South Thailand Motorbike Tour EP5

Another very hot day on the South Thailand motorbike tour! Perfect day to explore some hidden deep caves and then take a swim in an amazing hidden swim spot that was beyond words. Let's ride in the heat and explore! These caves were such a treat, and much deeper than I dared to fully explore. The Sa Kaeo swimming hole was not only one of the bluest natural swimming holes I had ever seen, at 240 meters (780 feet), it was also the deepest! This place is a treasure that few people know about or explore. Other KZbinrs have tried to hide it, but I wanted to share it so you can all enjoy it. The cold water in this secluded swimming hole was so refreshing on yet another 39°C (102°F) day. I will also take you to Thung Khai Botanic Garden where we will walk on a skywalk amongst the canopies of trees and just enjoy nature. Such a fun day on yet another episode of my South Thailand motorbike tour.

Serg, you are officially hardcore man! You are so brave to get deep into those caves. That swim was SO well earned.

[@LifewithSerg]

Yeah, man, I really wanted to explore more of it, but it was just too creepy to go in there all alone. I noped out of there. Ha ha

[@TheThaiLife]

@@LifewithSerg You did way more than most would have, especially including me :)

[@nncadi1]

Way too many elephant pants😂😂😂

[@tjyoung701]

Another great series. I never miss a video. Thanks for all the hard work putting them together.

[@LifewithSerg]

Glad you like them! I’ve got two more videos from this series coming in the next week.

[@hamburger--fries]

Enjoyed the longer video editing style. The adventures and activities and multi days. Good times, :-) 95% of your videos I like. But these adventure videos are my favorite. I'm not a car fan, so really enjoying this adventure series. I live in Japan and come to Thailand about 5 months a year, so I appreciate your hard work, so I can take my family to some of these spots.

[@LifewithSerg]

Very happy to know that you’re enjoying it. I absolutely am planning to visit Japan, hopefully later this year.

[@hamburger--fries]

@@LifewithSerg I watch your videos with my morning coffee. BTW - I am originally from California. I've been in Asia for 25+ years.

[@benlee6500]

The journey to happiness continues with Serg to Surat Thani/Krabi....exploring the caves by the pools, quite scary when you're alone!!. But the bigger and deeper caves are interesting too!!... the swim 🏊‍♀️ in the nature's best stream looks great 👍 the hotel looks great at BHT1k is kind of fair and square ⬛️ 😀...the forestry visit is by far the best with a path to walk until you reach other parts of the thick forest..thanks Serg for bringing us along this unusual journey....😅😮🎉😂 elephant 🐘 pants are common sights everywhere in Thailand 🇹🇭 😅😂

[@LifewithSerg]

There was definitely a lot of things to see on this day. I’ve got two more videos from this series coming, I hope you enjoy them.

[@Stephen.Palmer_666]

You're a braver man than i going into those caves Serg! Loved that swimming hole with the stunning blue water. Thanks for another great vid!

[@LifewithSerg]

Well, you’ll notice that I turned around pretty quickly in that cave. It started getting tighter and tighter, and since I have my backpack with me, I just didn’t want to go too much farther (aka: I hit a bit nervous). Lol

[@mayukhbarua]

The scenic beauty of the road is beautiful. As always another great content Serg.

[@LifewithSerg]

Many thanks!

It’s been such a fun trip. Glad you are enjoying it as well.

[@Peacekeeper1966]

The high-pitched sounds of cicadas singing, almost ubiquitous in SE Asian scrub and bush.

[@LifewithSerg]

It was very loud! I actually had to edit the background noises pretty heavily otherwise it would’ve been overwhelming in the video. But such a cool sound to hear.

[@PassportBroThailandSteve]

wow nice spot you found would love to take a dip there :D

[@LifewithSerg]

It’s an absolute gem, especially on a hot day like right now

[@TheThaiLife]

You are looking like a pro on that bike man, love the 360 footage. Man, it really rained hard at your hotel!!! That was something. I could live in that blue water.

[@LifewithSerg]

It rained ferociously! Fortunately, I had gotten back about 20 minutes before it started. The water and that swimming hole was so refreshing. And I couldn’t believe the blue color.

[@TheThaiLife]

@@LifewithSerg Really beautiful and the caves were interesting.

[@rastaph]

For a minute there, I thought you were going to get lost/stuck in that cave! 🤣That swimming hole was pretty cool as well as that canopy walkway!

[@LifewithSerg]

I don’t know how deep that cave went, but it was getting much too crapped for my tastes. That’s a big hole was just perfect on such a scorching hot day.

[@elund408]

Thanks for taking us along, Too much heat and humidity for me, I'm happy to see it through your lens.

[@LifewithSerg]

The heat and humidity is definitely no joke. I would not recommend this to most people in this time of the year.

[@gerardbeck457]

That canopy walk was pretty cool Serg.

[@LifewithSerg]

Yeah, I really enjoyed it. I’ve got something similar in one of the upcoming videos as well.

Rain is a problem all over Asia right now. High temperatures are a nightmare. I might be back in Thailand in the summer. Great place to rest and relax.

Hello Serg...Thought I had the traditional Thai McDonalds meal, yes a bucket of McFried Chicken. Good job swerving around the cows, only in Thailand huh. You said you were home, enjoy the air conditioning, it's starting to warm up here in Arizona too.......Mat in Scottsdale

[@LifewithSerg]

Yeah, there are cows all over the place here, so you definitely have to be careful. I’m still on the road, but I spent every night in a nice little hotel or resort. No complaints.

[@jke360]

Krabi my favourite place in Thailand

[@LifewithSerg]

Nice!

[@Paweenachannel5145]

It’s so fun adventure with the video. And I can’t stop laughing at the first cave, it’s like a hole. 😅

hi serg, awsome video seeing you ride all the way, i just came back i rode from khaolak to koh sok, and then to phangna , i t was awsome ride i hired a 125cc honda click , as you say people will complain, if you ride your dammed if you dont ride your dammed so riding is freedom enjoy the ride and stay safe, will be back in bkk later to ride again loved the roads fin thialand man cheers

[@LifewithSerg]

Sounds like you had a great time! Some of my most favorite rides in America were on small bikes like the 49 cc Honda Ruckus, or the 125 cc Honda Grom. It’s just about enjoying the ride.

[@sanwa2000]

Pak Meng beach. The island you can notice it like human lay down or sleep.

[@LifewithSerg]

Oh thanks!

[@tallthintom]

Nice video Serg! The canopy walk looked very cool!

[@LifewithSerg]

It was great! This has been very much a nature trip. I’ve got two more episodes from this series coming up.

[@eddybluesteel9058]

A long journey did you never think of getting a 350 ADV more comfortable and speed going up the mountains 😊

[@LifewithSerg]

Since I live in Bangkok, the 350 would be too big. Besides, that point might as well just get a real motorcycle. I will most likely buy 500 cc, or bigger, motorcycle later this year and just keep the 160 for small trips.

[@eddybluesteel9058]

@@LifewithSerg Real motorcycle 😁

Oh yes, if I lived outside Bangkok, I would’ve bought a completely different bike. The scrambler is really cool!

It's deeper than the gulf of Thailand sea , which is only 80 meters deep.

[@hikikomorigaming2419]

I read from someone comment that temperature used to raise 1 degree in 2 years but now It's raise 1 degree in 1 year and Thailand reach 44 celsius degree this year and It will be hotter every year. I don't even know is it real or not but one thing is sure >>> It's SO HOT. Lucky me, I stay at my home not wearing my shirt.

[@LifewithSerg]

I’ve only lived here for two years, but this is definitely the hottest so far. A lot of my friends who were born here say this is also the hottest year they’ve ever ever experienced.

[@christhai2508]

Cool vid, please double check the maps link you provided for the cave and pool, seems nowhere near Surat or Krabi. Ride safe and keep cool.

[@LifewithSerg]

Good eye!! I accidentally picked a similarly sounding cave. I have fixed the link.

Hi I can feel a humidity

What kind of flashlight do you used and where did you buy ?

[@LifewithSerg]

It’s a Duracell 380 compact flashlight. I think I bought this two years ago and it was right around $10. I’m sure there’s something better and cheaper now.

I realize these were not the healthiest choices, but I needed places with air conditioning. At the same time, I would say that 75% of Thai food is extremely unhealthy because it is all fried in oil and loaded with sugar. I’m looking forward to getting back to Bangkok and making my own healthy meals in my condo.
