[@robertmaddelena7890]

Thailand is so unique. They have taken racing to a new level with Thai style. Thanks for showing us

[@TheEndlessVoyage]

Amazing. These are the things that foreigners never see!

[@kaiserm357]

Been to many of these events whit my brother in law. Really cool

[@theatre_pigs]

If you're just a tourist then yes it's difficult to find events kind this. 99% of people never go to real Thailand.

[@MrTheHillfolk]

My buddy went there last year ,and I'm like you're a fool for not going on a ride, you putz.

[@jameshoffa7085]

@maxpower1492 All that means is that you saw a video about it first. Moron.

[@Rosakru]

Some of us see them... Some of us even join them.. 😉

[@Mawandarmawan]

The amount of creativity Thailand people have are just amazing. Best in south east Asia!

[@sandiegocountydashcamspy1814]

“Thailand is just, Thailand”. Chad, that is the most definitive description I’ve ever heard! Love your video adventures, you’re experiencing much more of Thailand than I had opportunity to do when stopping over in Pattaya or Phuket with the Navy years ago. Keep up the excellent adventures!!

[@grubbytech]

There’s nothing the Thais won’t race or gamble on. Love that country.

[@isaacwilson9825]

I was definitely born in the wrong country

[@mfseed9682]

That's accurate af 🤣

[@user-bs4vb8vh6m]

You may not know yet Jetski Thailand is also a multiple world champion. There used to be Thai people who were F1 world champions 3 times in a row in the past. A girl is a two-time world drone racing champion.

[@thomasblueschke6938]

The amount of detail the Thais put in there builds is insane and mindboggling. You can look where you want but nearly every part fit to the others, it's like a musical composition.

[@streetrider1977]

If it wasn't for the screaming PA , every time Chad tried to speak. This video would only be half as funny! Thats what makes it so real and unique. Dig the rice planters!

[@CBMedia404]

Glad you got it, I was frustrated but got a great laugh out of keeping it in the video instead of editing it all out lol

[@cboincalifornia]

This kind of event is what I miss about Thailand. Just awesome, wholesome event after awesome event. No matter where you go in the Country, there is some kind of celebration, tournament, or otherwise fun things going on. You rock Chad, keep the videos coming.

[@Byron4RollTide]

Love the way the 2 strokes sounds versus the 4 strokes. The 2 strokes reminds me of the old days at Road Atlanta with the SCCA Formula 440 cars. Sounded like a bunch of chainsaws running through the mountains of Braselton. 😂

[@brianlaudick6762]

Love the content, been following your channel since November 2019 after a 10 day trip to Thailand. Love Thailand and Thai people ! I will be back !

[@user-ni2dj5ui1b]

รีบกลับมานะครับ ❤🇹🇭 จากไทย

[@destroytheilluminati770]

All i can say is that the Thai people are ingenious, gotta love them and their creativity

[@anthonyantoine9232]

That launch mechanism thing that they have is super neat. It completely prevents anybody jumping the start and keeps it perfectly equal. The ingenuity here is so cool to see, and I think it'd be hard to ever see something like this in America with all of the ridiculous regulations we've got. It'd be shut down so quick.

[@WhuDhat]

Lmao the rice injection machine is crazy, you absolutely have to make a video visiting their shop Chad. And soon please. 🙏🏿 brings a whole new meaning to ricer. should edit that racing use sticker to say "for ricing use only" Oh and the boats were tight too but that machine stole the show, especially with the P.A. struggles lol. And man do I wish I could just walk out to my front yard spectate some races and get wasted with the crowd, would probably invite the cool/hot ones to come in and have dinner afterwards lol. Not to mention the fishing amd swimming possibilities! although idk if I'd eat anything that came out of that particular river

[@whollymindless]

+1 - You said everything I came here to say. I still can't believe that these boats haven't been adopted by "Florida Man" or perhaps a more radical element in Louisiana.

[@CBMedia404]

Headed to their shop to check out a twin turbo diesel rice machine this week! I’m excited

[@SharpiesAdventures]

@@CBMedia404 nobody love me

[@SharpiesAdventures]

Thanks for the amazing content. Keep up the good work fellas! It was so awesome seeing yall downtown Bangkok. Much love ❤

[@whatshedonenow1226]

Well said

[@davidbenham3517]

I can't wait to get back home. Isan rocket festival is where you should go.

[@yikesomg3423]

Never knew Thailand was like this awesome! Coming there on April and I am so excited now!

[@retiredinthailand24]

Love it man….no worries on the sound…your voice comes through fine….you don’t even have to yell….👍🏼🇹🇭

[@CBMedia404]

It was actually much clearer than I expected when filming, in real life it was ungodly loud lol

[@AlexofCharmCity]

Yeah was thinking that the on location sound is probably 10 times louder than the mic is picking up.

[@pmp1337]

The perfectly timed PA interruptions had me rolling. 🤣🤣🤣

[@nuttynate797]

How do you find these races in Thailand? We were planning to visit soon.

[@trekm91]

Racing here in Chanthaburi province - 5km from Thai Mai, Khlobg Khut on 29 January and 5 March 2023. We've been attending since 2012, missed a couple due to Covid but all on again to this year, difference here is that it is up to six boats racing at a time, they go around a buoy to race back to the start-finish line.

[@sMASHsound]

would totally dig a weird agro machine vid. all the unique stuff they came up with.

[@Richard-nb4iv]

Another great video jam packed with some awesome content! I visit Thailand briefly back in 1999, i didn't have the best experience, but now i know i need to come back and checkout all these events. 👍

[@white_truck3820]

I really like the girls style- she starts completed backwards. Amazing!

[@thetravelingtrio4544]

Love the kid with the "In weed we trust" sweatshirt. Great content Chad. Keep it coming. Can't wait to see the rice injector at full speed.

[@radamus210]

That is some pretty insane racing! But Bruh - the rice transplanter? Holy hell! Is there anything they do in Thailand not to show car extreme? I'm looking forward to see how that works. Speaking of farming, there is still that mud tractor in bikinis grudge match to follow up on.

[@andyrbush]

Thais love their PA systems. So often you can't even go into a store its so loud with some one having a great time screaming into the microphone.

[@patlad8433]

Yeah man when I was over there I was wondering how half of Thailand isn't deaf everything is so loud.

[@nemoatlantis7148]

it's just another kind of racing, PA system racing it is

[@guzzijack9714]

Chad, this is one of your best videos. Hang in there with all that's going on for you. You are still making unique content and your channel will continue to grow.

[@jamescunningham541]

I need one of these purely just to cruise through no wake zones at 75 🤣. Things barely even touch the water. No waves at all

[@skip728]

Love these 2 strokes! The smell must be awesome. This is an event that I will put on my bucket list. It’s right up my alley. Stay dangerous, Chad!

[@cartergarnon6299]

The fulfillment I got when you FINALLY called out the PA system was tremendous. So spot on, including how they love to scream into while simultaneously swallowing the microphone. Also, can’t wait for the mini boat giveaway. Oh and whatever name it receives.

[@67Svenski]

This gives me new purpose when I visit Thailand again. I have to watch some of this stuff live. Thanks Chad, without this channel I would not know this existed.

[@chrisdunham2911]

This must 1000% be the inspiration for Brian O'Connor Supra in F&TF! They are laying the same way and holding on with the splash behind them!

[@larrybaker5316]

I was in Thailand 1971 (after leaving Nam), they had some long boats with v-8 engines and the long propeller shaft out the back, and those things could cook!

[@Sam-ss2lo]

So the rule in Thailand is, "If It moves, we customize it." I'm looking for an upgrade to my grandma's Rascal scooter and a resto mod forklift. What's available?

[@AlexofCharmCity]

🤣 🤣 🤣

[@modelnutty6503]

more power to her if she can handle her rascal doing +25 mph!

[@Vulcan650Vampire]

I’m more of Ruckus guy myself 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@logannewman4532]

In the first shot where there are two boats and then a closeup of the boat on the left it has a Kawasaki 650 engine but they ditched the pulse driven carbs and looks like it has motorcycle carbs with a fuel pump driven off the PTO. Really interesting setup. I want to see the ignition setup on that thing.

[@Mr.clintontoney]

Every time you drop a video I get excited. Thailand is one place I hope to visit someday. Thank you for the content chad. 🇺🇸 ❤️ 🇹🇭

[@larrybaker5316]

daniel, when i was there 1971, the whole country smelled like pee.

[@riffraff8426]

Good to see you out and about Chad enjoying people and their events and the sun. Your vlogs are always full of great content.

[@meathook2448]

Now I know where the teacher from Charlie Brown retired to…she’s a PA announcer in Thailand!

[@henryhillebrecht9589]

Racing is a life style, doesn’t matter what you race, it’s in you blood👍🏻👍🏻 Love this Bro😁👍🏻👍🏻

[@brianhammond2832]

Wow that looks fun! Great job on a very difficult shoot Chad.

[@Tgnz7]

I Love how much attention to detail and the colors are awesome!❤

[@sethgt1234]

Love your videos! You bring us a totally different culture than we would normally see. 👍

[@olm89]

It is so cool ,the tiny boots with this power and sounds amazing.thanks from Germany

[@todeotodeo140]

I'm quite sure they would get significantly more power with expansion pipes instead of what they are using. I built a go-kart years ago running a straight exhaust pipe and a year later I put an expansion pipe on it and it nearly doubled the power

[@pmp1337]

Someone needs to show them those Italian dudes that tune the shit out of the 2stroke vespas.

[@JustinWimpey]

Was thinking the exact same thing. Open pipes have no helmholtz resonance!

[@markturner6823]

The pipes are very strange. Like they built half of a nice expansion chamber and then just stopped. Two stroke expansion chambers are common and proven technology. I would like to understand what they are thinking.

[@mattmitchell9130]

They probably have rules in place banning them for one reason or another....Much like auto races in the US.....

[@Stoshua.81]

Yep those exhausts are complete garbage no expansion pipe, even though they are just basic piston port engines they would still benefit from a proper pipe.

[@ratthpat1381]

There is still a Thai rocket race that I haven't seen yet.

[@vuongnguyen-fh6ge]

I think in Isan region they have Boun Bangphay,very close to rocket racing

[@KING-FU]

“These things use tractor engines that are single piston”and later ‘turbo”… immediately features pic of a normally aspirated Kawasaki, twin cyl. eng. (prbly from a jet-ski). 🤣✌🏻 Still cool boats, regardless!

[@guitarsender]

Amazingly unique content as always Chad 👍

[@turnnburn9008]

this stuff is so great! love the ground level authentic racing, pure motor heads

[@nickvrdoljak1685]

While the rest of the world drowns in bureaucracy the Thai's really are living their best lives 🤣 oh and so is Chad 🤣

[@edpetrocelli2633]

Yes i could hear you clearly over the PA. Their workmanship is astounding, I had no idea.

[@SharpiesAdventures]

Great video, you have an amazing team 👏

[@Chewygsxr]

That’s basically putting a Engine on a Surfboard, just insanity, but like you said, it’s Thailand. Fun video. The Fiesta Flash 🤙🏼🍺🍺🍺

[@Alsinsin]

I never knew that one day I would want so badly a rice planting machine. That thing is just insane. The boats are crazy too. Anything interesting going on around Pattaya on Friday 10/Saturday 11?

[@danielcline7413]

I can just imagine how many people bounced off the river before they got the design perfected on the boats !

[@prutkul]

The engine(s) you see in this video is rotax engine (1cylinder) and Kawasaki 750cc 2troke 2 cylinders engine.

[@zach_chad]

We need more of this content! Cant wait until the Thaitanic is in the water!

[@mw2filmmaker]

I'm pretty sure most of us don't speak Thai. When the commentator comes over the pa it's just sounds like background noise because I can't understand what he's saying. I can still hear and understand everything you're saying.

[@gordonfreeman3072]

from rice tractors to miniboats.... Never been to thailand but DAMN love and respect!

[@michaelmcclure8673]

Chad , where they held the SDBA races by our area, it was the same. River Bank and summer homes . Some of those boats are 5000+ HP. And why they lean forward is to keep from blowing over.😉

[@LwB72]

The Frustration in your face the moment he started chip chip chip... I laughed soo hard. Love your videos.

[@robbibobbi6]

The PA is amazing, its like COW BELL.. 👍

[@timjordan8911]

Thailand is possibly the drag racing capital of the world

[@digimalone]

Some of the best content I've seen lately. Thanks Chad.

[@radioactivegarage6967]

Guy on the pa system sounds like the aliens from Mars attacks. Awesome video as always!

[@cr3083]

I do like it it is insane , unique , brave and not afraid to get hurt or die by accident. Crazy Thailand.

[@jonny5714]

6:06 ''ok this speakerphone guy is getting out of line'' OMFG that's funny

[@waylanddavick9459]

Dude. So cool. Don't worry about the PA system, it seems like you nailed the audio so long as you're not to far from your mic. It can never be perfect, but you're giving us a glimpse of things we'd never see otherwise and that's something special.

[@KawiAddict46]

Man, being a good ol Georgia boy, I'm totally fascinated by some of the stuff they come up with! So cool! Looking forward to more stuff like this brother!

[@Sizzler1174]

That kinda racing style is so freaking cool dude. I would love to try that some day. 🤜💥🤛

[@TaekwondoFitForLife]

Sir, I think that those machines are awesome! I love the fact that the prop shaft is so long, and they have such a torque advantage upon the water surface, making it almost impossible for those boats to flip! Very cool idea, part of the reason why I have liked the video is those because I am a mechanic and also of my finding it funny over the PA system being so loud, ha ha but I could hear you just fine. I’m sure everyone else could too. I’m sure being there it was very deafening.😂

[@bcg462]

Love the content this is so much different than the Thailand I experienced in the seventies when I was in the military there Iwould like to go back and experience it all again thank you for the inspiration

[@larrybaker5316]

what base were you at?

[@bcg462]

@larrybaker5316 wasn't stationed there. I went there on R&R a few times

[@AntWhiten]

I lived in Chiangmai in the 90’s and saw these “hooligans” racing their boats through the markets. Had me hooked to speed since then

[@McGutschy2]

For the algorithm, dude, we know, you do your best. And you are a great entertainer.

[@sharonnicholson3393]

Jesus Christ that PA 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 you getting mad at the speaker made a whole new level of entertainment you didn't realize🎉

[@mikeknuckles6430]

I spent a year in Thiland 1968. Loved the place and people

[@cryptout]

Man those race boats and drivers are awesome. So cool to see! Thailand is definitely one of the most creative countries when it comes to racing classes.

[@r8421]

I'm amazed at the skill of the racers, especially their ability to make themselves low and aerodynamic whilst hanging on at those crazy speeds all while being so restricted by all that protective clothing and safety gear.

[@droch121]

Chad you need 2 channels. All the motor sports and a 2nd for some of the crazy stuff like girls and ladyboys. Also I think so many people love the longtail boats ever since the James Bond movie Man with the Golden Gun- you need to try and recreate a scene from that. lol

[@01DOGG01]

100%. I miss the motorbike rides and sunset beers etc. That really should happen. People can subscribe to either channel based on their preferences and he can push out double the content.

[@CBMedia404]

Girls and ladyboys is dangerous line to dance with how KZbin is, getting to crazy is not worth the chance of being demonetized.

[@CBMedia404]

That said, I have a car video with a special guest being released Friday you will like a lot…

[@barryiwashita6352]

Been watching these 2 strokes go at it really interesting…I know it’s insane but it would be really cool to have a US top fuel hydro there…I’d really like to see their reactions to it..lol

[@lesteraizlewood8457]

What a great sport ..... both for the spectators and particularly the competitors.

[@emeliealegonero4043]

Thai are the best, Philippine are so far beyond when incomes to engine modifications their engineering know how are so advanced...❤ 😮

[@DanielGarcia-kp1qf]

These videos help me when I'm feeling pretty sad..

[@Thairieskaterat]

P.A. system aside...completely enjoying this 🤘😘💨💨➡️

[@nathansmith4950]

I can only amagin you n a little boat chad..this was a sick upload..love how the locals are cool with u ..much respect..

[@spacebike420]

I need to see that rice tractor in action that's crazy looking!

[@wmden1]

Looks like super fun and not terribly expensive to participate. Maybe a little danger, but not as risky as some activities.

[@northcentralindianawx]

I love Thailand racing boats!

[@fredm1519]

This is what I want to see when I am in Thailand in 2 weeks

[@73Bugman]

Chad, I think I actually saw your face getting red while trying to talk over the PA. Great event. 👍

[@mudachuka12345]

If I was Thai that’s exactly what I would be doing for fun 🤩

[@CARRIERGUY]

Everytime you goto an event its awesome! Looking forward to the video on the rice unit deal! Looks cool

[@Howardhandupme]

That was awesome. Want more please.

[@buddyywilsonn]

Thailand has such a sick style to there vehicles

[@gourmetgarage8418]

Right when Chad thought he got a break from the loud PA system. Then Comes on the loud PA system again! Lol 😂

[@jeffduncan02]

The Hellcat being a boat comment had me immediately rolling 🤣

[@steventrostle1825]

YHANKS-Very much fun. Just like most drag races the winner is whoever gets off first, the whole race is at the starting .

[@tonyschmidt8741]

It looks like the right lane is a little better traction wise

[@weldscientist]

Also- been watching since the OG days. Crazy how much the production quality has evolved. Dialed👌🏽

[@jaskew1848]

AHHHHH!!! The beautiful sound of the only true international language... THE LANGUAGE OF YEEEETTTTT!!!!!!

[@jamesbeemer7855]

I can’t imagine pushing a boat that tiny ,that fast !

[@Alehyn666]

the rice planting machine takes the term ricer to a whole new level, love that piece would totally rock this machine 12hours a day

[@duhduhlovo1670]

Hahaha Chad when the PA went off and he was trying to show us that ROBOcop Rice Injection Machine had me rolling when he dropped like FFFF@(×ING AAAAAA REALLY🤣🤣🤣🤣dying laughing dying. Lotus style boat dope by the way man. Damn how far do they race that river looks so long
