Im gettimg anxiety just watching you ride on thise roads😱 lol

[@AStupidTourist]

@7:25 the exact moment you jinxed yourself 😎 PS - if you haven’t heard of it , checkout the Pai Land split . Cheers Chad

[@khunjohn1054]

Notice that Index helmet was wrapped in a Shoe logo. Gott love Thailand

[@droppinghertz9922]

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 🚚

[@bossdvd567]

I want to go on a trip like you.,👍👍

[@philrobinson4052]

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.

[@Mrfrontrow]

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.

[@joeystories6946]

Thanks for keeping me company Chad during the situation.

[@alaboutnothing]

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.

[@unclefnjimmy439]

No plan, check. no place to stay, check. Weather takes a dump, check. Yep. Its a CB Media motorbike tour! I absolutely love this! Looking forward to tomorrow!

[@garyhoffmann1615]

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.

[@rontaylor7927]

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.

[@sachu4352]

FANTASTIC CHANNEL. I AN BINGE WATCHING THE WHOLE MAE HONG SON TRIP. I HAVE DONE IT FEW YEARS AGO WITH A BUDDY OF MINE. WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE - the views. Roads. Mountains. Nature. Wildlife - incredible. Brings back a lot of memories Keep up the sick work and sick channel bro. You got a new subscriber in me!

[@cipheraka5536]

These videos have been bringing my old heart for traveling back. Def getting out there.

[@alho9231]

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.

[@thanaang1455]

This is the beauty of freedom, no need to be rushed because of limited vacation. There are many local home stays if it has good view, 500 THB is quite normal. Of the beaten path is the characteristic of your channel! Have a safe and cautious ride!

[@vojtec]

You've helped me get through the pandemic with Your travel videos. Thanks, dude!

[@neelulingan]

Beautiful places wonderful temple great nature of Thailand 🇹🇭. Great road tour 👍

[@danescottstephens]

The spur of the moment aspect of these videos is one of the many things that make these videos so much fun! Keep up the great work!

[@RetosSpace]

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 !!!

[@abdeenn3]

That is what is so exciting about your trip, the one that didn’t go as planned. Because you are different!

[@cameronparker5314]

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.

[@dc6958]

Thanks for blazing the trails dude! Watching you zipping through Thailand just puts a smile on my face. Enuf said.

[@gwdrew86]

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

[@TheCatchtwentytwo]

"Mai Pen Rai" - This is the attitude to have when travelling.

[@leolattanzi1226]

Your welcome krap

[@marcjtdc]

00:40 sincere emotional moment. A guy feeling so lucky he can do this.

[@mauricezaner8237]

Chad sometimes actually many times when things don’t go right makes the video so cool - the way you explain it and handle it - great stuff

[@tuamorgraciano]

As always you were lucky to find cover just in time.

[@samraj3179]

I particularly enjoyed your motorbike ride all the way, when you decided to stop for the night. Riding motorbikes in the monsoon season is a challenge without the rain gear in South East Asia. Getting drenched in the rain and the wind chill makes one really feel cold. The good side to this is, you would build some immunity of catching a cold. It is such a dreadful feeling coming home totally drenched and rushing to the bathroom, remove the clothes and then have cold shower. After which, getting into warm clothes and enjoying a warm drink takes you to high heaven reminiscing the journey. What a great feeling.

[@beast0882]

Badass video as always! Thanks man.

[@markingelkins]

Things that happen like what you just went through is what makes your trip that much more fascinating thanks for the video

[@jimjanlekha891]

Glad to on another motorbike tour with you again, Chad. My friends and I in So Cal are big fans! Was almost like being on the bike with you on those curves. Unexpected obstacles make for a great, funny and entertaining video. Including closed destinations and heavy downpours :-). Be safe brother!

[@76guzzi78]

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!

[@ckmoeller9233]

The adventure begins when things stop going as planned. Looks like this one is going to be epic !!

[@namelessjoe1788]

Hey, when you have crazy stuff happen...it is fun, amusing and entertaining for us. A perfect trip is not fun.

[@ReverendBow]

CB Media motorbike adventures, see beautiful Thailand, and all of the days not to go to the attractions. Great video

[@mje19D]

Because of you and a couple other people, I am selling everything I own and hitting the road in the motorhome I just bought. Time to explore and I can't wait to experience Thailand as well!

[@carraider]

Good old rainy season, let's see what tomorrow brings, keep up the good work

[@Anderson1992]

WOW... At 5:00 min... nice trick that one. I LOVED it. Coolest ever. Lol.

[@AmitSharma-cg7qr]

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.

[@gumbomudderx7503]

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!

[@ShoelessNomadThailand]

How can anyone give you the thumps down. Thailand's vlogger of the year 2020. For content and style. Early start good idea.

[@orasagersztoff7134]

That road is crazy!!! I’m so glad you stop. Start again tomorrow when it dry.

[@cungwang149]

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 .

[@FirstLast-bi8xi]

Drift car tour might be the ticket for rainy season...that road would be awesome!

[@peteagraanjr.9404]

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.

[@jeremyr6679]

7:41...I feel yah. With the family in the SUV on my way to Mondulkiri a few days ago and ended up on a dirt road across an unguarded border that took me into Vietnam. Two minutes in I realized and did a lightning fast u turn.

[@petergorm]

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.

[@AKSkeeterEater]

I did the Mae Hong Son loop on a 500cc Honda and loved it. I would recommend at least a 250cc bike. Wait until you hit the really tight mountain hairpin curves, that's where the extra power helps with climbing around those corners. Love seeing your adventure! Enjoy and be safe!

[@HamNoytheDutchGuy]

Thanks for the amazing tour video, enjoyed it dude, take care 💪

[@KurtWinters]

Another great Video Chad ! Keep giving those PRO TIPS.............. It really ADDS VALUE

[@worldrevsup]

You have inspired me to leave the country and start my own adventure, always have wanted to leave and do something like this. Really cool

[@paulpattaya1522]

Did that Chiang Mai to Pai. Once by car and once on the back of a bike. Luckily not wet. Definitely do it again out of rainy season. Cold up north through them there mountains.

[@franktaylor7617]

Being a long time rider in the Pacific Northwest, rain and wet slippery roads are always part of the adventure. It becomes part of the tale years later. Those skinny little tires would worry me too. Good luck brother, stay safe and keep the rubber side down. ✌️👊👍

[@mickbotcast]

Watching you made me feel like I'm going on adventure too Good work I'm Thai and still on my "Work@Home" schedule in my home in Bangkok

[@skacel7]

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?

[@garyclark8944]

Enjoyed it.. lovely countryside...but understand the weather just got beyond being safe on the bike... safety is paramount..

[@area49g12]

Nice editing on the shorts to jeans change-up, loving your content, keep it up, stay safe. ;-)

[@sloppystooly5439]

I really enjoyed the trip down the supermarket conveyor belt, lol good stuff

[@wavincewavince394]

That's what we like chad always expect for the unexpected. that's what make it so awesome to travel

[@cliosandles235]

You are a god to bucket list junkies,thank you brotha,live long and prosperous..sincerely..Clio.

[@larsvargstrand6749]

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.

[@jaycochran2983]

You’re right Chad you have to take it as it comes. I’ve travelled China extensively the past 20 years and you learn to roll with it. Tomorrow will be a better day👍🏻

[@liamjordan7639]

I’m @ coffee hill now thanks to watching your videos.. On route to Pai now

[@jukeboxjedi1928]

I think your videos are great, entertaining and educational, I'm learning a lot from them, getting lost is all part of the fun and Thailand looks like an awesome place to explore and get lost in , I may have to go there one day. I'm planning a motorcycle trip with some friends though parts of France , Spain and Portugal next year 🤞 and hope to make some content of my own. hope the weather is better for the rest of the trip.

[@stephenhassenger8442]

Good call on plan to continue tomorrow. Hoping for dry roads and good weather! Get some video of the place you stay. It is all about the adventure.

[@Dan-qm7ho]

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..

[@Christopher-pe6zj]

Wet roads are super super sketch... definitely made the right call there! I was puckering on a few of those for ya!!!

[@elffuns]

If you want to have fun riding motorbike in Northern Thailand you should go in December. That's end of raining season and everything is still green and fresh. And it's a high season for northern too.

[@faifaa]

December is the best time for Pai, it's dry and cool!

[@phreenom]

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...

[@thekidless7682]

Great twisty roads. Bikers dream! Ride safe,dude!😎😎😎

[@paulpicone1121]

CB media keep the videos going brother

[@JasonAl]

105K!! already ? Chad for president!!! I would vote for him:))

[@GeneFever]

Chad had four hundred turns on the bike before he even left Chang Mai! Great failures today CB thanks for taking us along.

[@golden166]

This episode is very fun I have been through that road.

[@rakmanyt]

Hey Chad, it does get cold in the mornings in Pai.. hope you have some warm shirts.

[@littlefishinggoat5409]

That bike with the umbrella though! 14:30

[@ComedyKraze1]

Thanks for showing us how to be safe!

[@brendanduffy6145]

Great video I hope the weather improves for you Chad😎👍

[@borgata23]

As always Chad , your videos never disappoint. This video was good except the rain sucks...lol . Look on the bright side , you could be stuck here in the USA in total lockdown. I will be flying out to Thailand shortly , I heard the 14 day quarantine has been lifted.

[@waldopepper1572]

Chad. Your respect for Thai culture,Temples. Respect.🙏

Chad don't stress ......it is what it is ....Thailand ......still good content ...stay safe

[@1320fastback]

There was a company nearby that used to put modular Ford V8s in Miatas. Think they were called Monster Miata and were out of either San Marcos or Escondido, Ca.

[@guygourley2411]

I had to chuckle some. I've ridden the Pai road several times, and just about every time you run into rain as you climb into the mountains. Same as when going to Phitsanulok. We were caught in a downpour one time going to Phitsanulok, and eventually I just told the group let's go, it will dry out in about 15 minutes. Sure enough, once we got out of the mountain area it was beautiful and sunny, and we did dry out. I like your adventure character, because that certainly is needed in Thailand. Did the Mae Hong Song loop as well, a beautiful ride, but I was also on a 300cc Sym scooter, made a big difference. If you haven't gone to Phayao, I recommend it, and the older temples on the far side up in the mountains.

[@JG-ke7gj]

Always great content. How about those uv-protection arm sleeves? Don't fool yourself, in the rainy season the sun still burns.

[@chawapontha.4977]

I am Thai people.I like this video.

[@DaystateFox]

On my tours I use a Forza 300cc, good for the hills. Having said that I don't hammer it round the bends but its nice to have a bit more power. Stay safe Chad. Tomorrow's another day.

[@mbvalency]

1:32 I don't see it the same way. If I had a motorcycle, I would make the trip to the north and then go on with the Mae Hong Song. Another plus would be to have your own helmet and other gear for the tour. As far as the islands go - maybe for some islands I would not take the bike with me.

[@JasonWh]

Bro, your videos are kick ass.

[@gwdrew86]

Mate- make sure you go up to Doi Inthanon on way back to Chiang Mai and Wachirathan Waterfall

[@phustonhuston]

You drive the bike like a local thru town, great video

[@timc1966]

Good job, another good one......

[@globetrotter683]

Did it in 2015. Was an wonderful trip.

[@sswmastering]

packable rain suit get one, it can fit into one of the little pockets in your back pack

[@billybob7522]

Oh boy, no fun in the rain especially on two wheels! Pick up some waterproofs at the next Tesco Lotus. Failing that, maybe an umbrella like that guy on your vlog...crazy!

[@hollyminer7009]

I love love all your shit wow keep it up please don't stop my favorite so far I will be getting shirt thank you for the great content

[@JamesStBlues]

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.

[@longbeachcomedy4481]

Every episode you put out makes me want to jump on an airplane and tour Thailand on a motorbike!

[@randymack1782]

a few years back a V8 Miata club went by me, doing mountains of VA, looked like fun. lol. sorry, but I agree, rain can take the fun completely out of mountain carving, the oil dangers exist everywhere. but above all be safe! will you post a clip of what room looks like? sounds very primitive.

[@ayankinthephilippines1416]

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

[@d.bcooper7819]

"I don't WON"T to ride this road with it completely soaked" :) Good ol' southern boy accent. Hello from the Pacific Northwest dude haha. Great video even with the rain.

[@johnjasins8113]

you drove past my condo around the 1 min mark lol. Was supposed to go to Pai this weekend...heard its totally dead

[@chrisbird2458]

Blast,was so looking forward to that.😎 🇬🇧🍺
