Cycling Southern Thailand // Satun to Surat Thani // World Bicycle Touring Episode 35

[@Velo_Safari]

Thank you for 1) not having annoying music and letting the natural sounds of your environment come thru the vid. I enjoy that. 2) for being informative and providing needed practical info. You guys have a great channel. Plz don’t change.

[@RollingExistence]

Thank you so much! We really appreciate the kind words and are glad you enjoy the videos 😊

[@Kluang1234-p6b]

Yes..agogo twist.

[@Hajirahimibrahim]

Nice video....luv from malaysia.

[@Alan-Tang]

I'm Malaysian but like Thailand a lot. Thanks for sharing for us! 👍🥰

[@j.k.6148]

What a great feeling to stay at affordable hotels! Really enjoying the ride!

[@adventuresofafatman]

Thanks! This is handy. 🚲👍🏼

[@JohnLvideos]

Love watching you guys cycling round the World. Some great scenery and places to see.

[@w5glsgary919]

Sawadee Kawp! I took private Thai language lessons for 6 months and the admin at my office still didn’t understand me when I greeted her in the morning.😅 enjoy your journey. The Thai’s are the most gracious and tolerant people I have come across in my lifetime.

[@RollingExistence]

That's too funny 😂 The people of Thailand were so welcoming and kind, it's definitely one of our favorite places in the world!

[@VeloObscura]

The outdoor bathroom is excellent! More places should have that! We once stayed with a guy who had an outdoor shower. He'd built a sort of brick "cubicle" so that you were concealed on 3 sides, but the open side faced out into the forest - it was beautiful! My favorite tactic for aggressive dogs that get too close is to squirt them in the face with my water bottle. Their reaction is actually pretty hilarious and we've been chased by dogs that look like they've been raised on a diet of steroids and hatred, but a quick squirt of the bottle and they have no idea what just happened to them. 😂 Really beautiful scenery in this one, guys!

[@MrJx4000]

Add a couple of shots of vinegar to that water bottle (for dog repellent only) and see how quickly they back off.

[@RollingExistence]

That sounds awesome! Agreed that they should be more common 👌 Luckily the dogs in Thailand gave up pretty quickly, but the water bottle sounds like it works really well! We'll keep that in mind for the future 👍

[@tonypaddler]

Another great video, thanks very much for that 👍

[@sorrawitsriwan892]

ยินดีต้อนรับ​สู่ประเทศไทย 😊

[@littleaussiepedaller7508]

[@bunterngkhemwong]

[@ChesstoImpress]

Another great video.

[@supot8367]

Will come to Thailand

[@briantyhy4880]

Thanks for posting, I dream of cycling of Thailand. We have had 1 1/2 feet of snow in the last two weeks. Enjoy the food and because of your videos I live the experience through your lens. cheers

[@AbidSheikh-oz7zg]

A dream😀

[@vkingsak]

Welcome to Thailand. I cycle a lot and I really enjoy watching your channel. Please take caution for riding in Thailand though. Lots of motorbikes here are going against traffic flow and on the shoulder of the road which is very dangerous for bicycle. Sometimes, cars or pickup trucks could also run on hard shoulder of the road too. And they could be on any side of the road, and on any direction.

[@DavidHughes-cy8lh]

It doesn't feel that long ago since I watched you both cycling through my hometown Ayr on the West Coast of Scotland and you're now in Thailand. Its been an amazing journey watching your channel. Thank you.

[@RollingExistence]

It doesn't feel long ago for us either! Thank you for watching 😊

[@Daltesq]

Thank you for your insights on how you create routes!

[@RollingExistence]

Glad it was helpful!

[@rabh6746]

That was a beautiful ride through Thailand, nice videography once again guys👍

[@ART-qw9ds]

👍

[@MrJx4000]

This was a good tour. I've never seen the backcountry of Thailand.

[@VladimirSaneeh]

I am a native Thai but haven't been to the places that you have haha! Good job and soooo inspiring!

[@winsongan3281]

Best regards

[@jazzsc79]

Saw you guys from other channel! 😊

[@paulm2666]

I’m getting inspired from your videos 🙏 How often are are chased by dogs 😳

[@dandydon6049]

Those dogs were the same dogs as in the previous video?

[@asmrnaturecat984]

Your choice of route in malay peninsula is the same that i planned, However, i would prioritise passing through satun-hatyai-patani and further up Satun-krabi-phuket is nice too, both side of thai coast is good choice

[@johnsimms9015]

Excellent video. Enjoy Thailand. Since mango season is approaching, maybe you can get some mango and sticky rice (khao niew ma muang). It is so tasty and flavorful especially when the mangos are ripe and fresh.

[@RollingExistence]

Mango and sticky rice is definitely one of our favorite desserts! 😋

[@craigboddice4951]

Did you have any issues crossing boarders with your bikes? When we went from chile to Argentina and then back into chile they wanted proof of ownership. Our bikes were second hand so it was tricky but we sorted it.

[@bertski60]

it's my experience most of the cheaper hotels have beds that are really quite hard. after a hard days ride maybe it makes no difference. maybe i should watch a few more episodes before asking but have you tried durian in thailand? (the stinky fruit) great episode...thanks.

[@RollingExistence]

The beds in Thailand were very hard most of the time, but we got used to them! We tried durian in a dessert which took the edge off a little bit...still need to try it by itself and get the full experience!

[@devdroid9606]

Have you tried durian fruit Jenny? I've heard so much about it! I wonder if the flashing LED lights are attracting the dogs. I have one too but found that turning it off as well as removing dark sunglasses whilst riding around dogs can help.

[@RollingExistence]

We tried it in a dessert to take the edge off 😅 The smell is off-putting but it tasted pretty good!

[@noysaykhambundith8669]

👍👍👍🚴‍♀️

[@Velo_Safari]

Do you have a figure of how much you’ve spent touring as far as transportation, lodging, food, etc to date?

[@ติ่งน้อยติ่งน้อย]

Super big budget. I used 600-1.000 bath Thai./day for 85-110 km. ( 18-28 usd. per day in Thailand my country.)

[@glenswada]

Your video shots are really great. I remember releiving myself at road edge of jungle in thailand and was warned to watch out for cats. Was trying to work out what they meant by cats when the realization of tigers came to mind when I was half through my business! They only kill one to two people per year in Thailand so its not too dangerous. Thai food is amazing.

[@brettmeikle]

I visited Tibet in 1988, and Lhasa particularly was full of feral dogs. Apparently they are reincarnated monks who didn't quite come up to snuff in human form - might explain the bad attitude of the ones you met at the temples.

[@mattbryan8535]

Great stuff guys!!How do you plan on transporting your bikes from Vietnam to South Korea? Will you pack them in cardboard bike boxes?I am assuming you'll basically ride all the way Vietnam? Safe travels🙏👍

[@RollingExistence]

Yes, we got some cardboard boxes from a bike shop in Da Nang and took them on the plane as checked baggage 👍

[@RusselNoy]

Hi can you make a video about the set up of your bike thnaks

[@RollingExistence]

We have a video about our bikes and luggage here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHSXlp-Pacp7htk

[@2697sara]

Hello ! Do you know if the trip you did by motobike can be done by bus? How long is it?

[@2697sara]

Satun to surat thani

[@Velo_Safari]

What are you using for navigation and cyclo comp?

[@RollingExistence]

We use OSMand for cycling navigation. We also have a Garmin Edge 830, but we only use it to record our route every day and keep track of mileage.

[@supot8367]

พิษณุโลก

[@kaziexplorer]

what size of your bike wheel??

[@RollingExistence]

They are 29" wheels 👍
