[@rodrigobraden8960]

@Dayton Lennon No problem :)

[@beingcandice]

When you were walking in the empty airport I had flashbacks of when you had to sleep outside the front doors of the airport in one of your previous videos. When you say you have no plan, we know the video will definitely be interesting.

[@CBMedia404]

Being Candice LOL was almost that empty! Thankfully I slept on a plane instead of a sidewalk this day

[@americawalk1154]

@@CBMedia404 Could you visit TRAT province. i always wanted to visit there but no time. :D

[@davidj.7779]

When I first went to Udon, what stunned me was though it was almost 40C, people were dressed like they were going skiing in Maine. Face masks, hats, 3 layers of long sleeve shirts and jackets with long pants. Took me a while to learn that it actually worked. When I motorcycled across the US during the summer several times, I had a motorcycle jacket that had zip vents in the front, under the arms and in the rear so air could pass through. On hot days in the planes and southwest, I'd soak my T-shirt, then put the jacket on top with the vents only partially open. Like air-conditioning, it would keep me cool for a couple of hours.

A number of years ago (90's) - I did a Bangkok, Prachuab, HaadYai, Sadao (Malaysian border), Songkhla, Samui, Surat, Bangkok round trip. On a 1970's vintage Triumph twin. Took a week. Great fun adventure!

My favorite coffee shop / café / breakfast spot in Udon Thani is Dose Espresso. There’s also the much larger Dose Factory for an expanded lunch or dinner menu - if they’re open.

[@suganjnawanpanrae852]

You can come to stay with me

[@DigitalNomadInvestor]

Pro-tip for riding in Thailand. Get some riding "sleeves." The sock like things that go from your wrist to your upper arm. You can still wear a short sleeve shirt with them, get air up in the shirt to cool you off when you ride, but your arms are covered. You can take them off when you are in the shade. All the pros of a long sleeve and a short sleeve in one. Once you get a decent pair, you'll be hooked.

[@lousilvestro9643]

Hi CB media, I’m from Perth Western Australia,my friend John Jambanis owns a house there,I’ve never been to to Udon Thani, but you sure make up for it,thank God for your videos, I can still be in Thailand without leaving home and not risk catching the virus, keep bringing them on , keep safe , thanks.

[@ryanstampke2750]

I am strapped in and ready to enjoy this tour!

[@chriszouroudis7008]

go to a golf store and try the golf sleeves... they protect you from the sun and keeps your arms cool. I use them over there and they're very good

[@var7777]

Thank you for the visit Chad...appreciate it!!

[@priqq1]

Ahhh! You're going to my husbands home city! You will love it there, its much more chill than BKK, just let me know if you want suggestions for food and places to stay, things to do.

Nice desk in the room, made on an old Singer treadle sewing machine base.

[@ZacchaeusNifong]

Might sound silly, but one of the main reasons I subbed to this channel after watching the "American's to Blame for Pattaya, etc.." was because of this dude's camera-work. So many vloggers can't even point correctly at shit behind them. WHY!? I just feel like the camera interaction is solid. Kudos brother. Keep it up.

[@MisterMitchMM]

Absolutely I eat bugs. Silk worm pupae, grasshoppers, tiny frogs, ant eggs, banana grubs. I will never attempt to eat another water bug or a tarantula. I managed to eat a leg but that was it. I hate spiders so it was purely mental. Udon is a great place to live or to boom out from. I've enjoyed my time there. Thank you Chad. Ride safe and have a blast. All the best Mitch

Looking forward to all the future episodes of the NTMT!

[@marcusysm]

Bro, i really love the way you travel. I will probably follow your footsteps when i travel to thailand too.

[@jiminhart]

Are you going to Loei on this road trip? That's a province that stood out to me when I did my Issan roadtrip some years ago. There's a riverside highway that you can take from Nongkhai on the Udon Thani province border with Laos, where the Friendship bridge is. The highway follows the course of the Mekong. The town of Chiang Karn particularly stands out in my memory. I hear it's become a destination since I was there, when it was very sleepy, so now might be a good time for it. How to describe it? It was like a mini-Chiangmai, more like Northern Thailand than Issan.

[@dumbo3200]

dhgemein2 . My wife’s family are outside Pak Chom on that highway. I love it over there and love staying on the farm. Chad if you do go that way stay at Mekong Riverside resort near Pak Niam. Mike and pBen will look after you. Chiang Khan is a good Thai tourist town these days.

[@jiminhart]

@@dumbo3200 Lucky them!

[@jiminhart]

Correction: Nongkhai is its own province, not a part of Udon Thani. It's between Udon Thani and the border with Laos.

[@oonaumabaldwin9290]

I live in Loei province, my home is near Laos 😁😊

[@bucsimon]

Hey man. Love your videos as always. Great information. Learned something new each time I watched your videos

[@mallockyer8901]

For future reference go to Samphan Thamit Alley about 2 blocks going north from central Plaza. That is were all the bars and nightlife are and more options for accommodation. Also check out the Brick House Inn (probably closed) across from the Aussie Sports bar for great meals and value for money.

[@roygoad2870]

[@chaibutler3083]

This video brought me back to memories from a year ago. Hey... This is Chai. I'm the one that lives in Buckhead in Atlanta. I can't believe you are in Udonthani. That is my hometown where I was born. I left there when I was 10 years old and came to live in America. My dad is American and my mom is Thai. He met my mom when he was in the Army. I have a home and property in Udon and my sister still lives there. When I go back to visit that is where my home base is. I still speak, read and write Thai. I finished 5th grade in Udon when I left and came to the U.S. I watched your other video and you are absolutely right about Udon. There is nothing to do much unless you are a native and live or work there. It's not a tourist city or town and when I go home to visit I usually don't stay long in Udon. I am restless and I need to go explore different part of the country. I still remember much of my childhood growing up and it was a happy one. The vehicle that you called " Tuk Tuk " in Udon is called '' Saam law kreaung ". It means 3 wheels motor bike. Udon has developed a lot since I left, but it still has a long way to go. I left Thailand in 1973. I enjoy watching your video and I'm impressed with you and your adventure. If you have any questions I can help answer please let me know.Chai Butler / Atlanta

Don Muang is good. Water, decent seats, good wifi. People slag off Bangkok's second airport, but it's fine. And there's a free bus between the two airports. It's a knackered bus, and you need your check in details, but it's a good freebie.

Always great entertaining content and friendly and respectful , a good example to other visitors to the country. Do make sure you have good health and driving insurance, even if you don’t have a plan. Don’t want to see a video of you on a stretcher on the floor of a corridor! How about an episode on what bits of the language you have picked up, how you learned them and what comes in most handy on your travels in Thailand. Have a great trip, ~ enjoying it already!

[@charlie-rc7mf]

That airport is spooky looking. They're working on some "bubbles" with Vietnam and other S.E. Asian countries and I would be very interested to see a video showing a trip to Saigon. Got a trip in November/December with fingers and toes crossed. Excellent videos!

With Alex and his unrelenting and blind support for the CCP, and Tim K with his subtle support for Hannity and Trump, it's nice to come to your channel and just vicariously enjoy your experiences in Asia and see some cool rides too! You provide an enjoyable refuge in an increasingly politicized KZbin environment. Keep up the great work brohoss!
