Thank you so much for watching 😃 we love traveling Thailand, be sure to watch out other Thailand videos😊

[@stevenherberts968]

I've done Chiang mai to Pai at least 15 times on various different bikes and cars, I remember how quiet it was in 2002 when I first visited, there was only half, probably even less than half the amount of tourists and guesthiuses, you vould get a bungalow at mountain view for about 100 baht or something very close to that price, you could get noodles or any basic Thai dish forv20 baht no problem, we used to go to the famous waterfalls where people would run out offering all sorts of refreshments 😁 The drive up to Pai is still, and always will be so beautiful see whilst driving, hope you had a lovely time guys❤

[@K8andGustav]

Sounds wonderful, I wish I could see Thailand in that era, less touristy, less built up. Have you tried the Nan motorcycle loop? There’s no tourists, beautiful roads for big bikes. No traffic😄

[@eddiejaoude]

Great video! We just booked Thailand for winter, and we will spend the first 2 months in Chiang Mai, I can't wait to do this road trip to Pai - thank you for sharing. Subscribed!

[@K8andGustav]

Thanks so much for watching 😊 Winter in Thailand is really lovely and the weather comfortable. Make sure to do the whole Loop 😃 Also check out the Nan loop Gustav did (longer driving and less touristy)

[@eddiejaoude]

@@K8andGustav thank you for the suggestion, I will definitely check it out - I am researching places to rent a big bikes already HAHA

[@K8andGustav]

@eddiejaoude nice, just drive safe. And C&P big bike has been really good with new bikes that have been serviced😃 they have all the motorbikes you could want😄

[@eddiejaoude]

[@MrEye4get]

Good advice on riding in Thailand. You will notice ZERO police on the roads, except for a few money-grabbing checkpoints. It's the wild west on the roadways!

[@K8andGustav]

Thanks, we try to be safe now because we saw what tarmac can do to skin😅 thank you for watching😄

[@Max-oe7dn]

ขับขี่ปลอดภัยนะคับ ขับช้าๆระมัดระวังกันด้วยน้า😊

[@kleerogers]

3 friends have been killed in motorcycle accidents in Thailand in the last 3 years, very sobering

[@K8andGustav]

I am sorry to hear, the roads are really dangerous on a motorcycle. Be safe👍🏽

[@paulreportingliv]

By the way, how many days do you get as a tourist visa when you enter the country?…

[@K8andGustav]

Depending on your passport, most people get 30days visa free. You can extend it 30days at immigration or you can fly out and back in for another 30. You can also apply for a 60day visa at a Thai embassy before coming.

[@stevenherberts968]

It was better 20 years ago, too many Farang, sticky shit, ki neouw😂, I'm from England myself but Farang have no respect when drunk.

[@K8andGustav]

You should go, its a beautiful Valley

[@K8andGustav]

Go check it out 😃

[@K8andGustav]

[@painaipaikan2020]

Don't miss Songkran in April.

[@K8andGustav]

We did Sonkran last year, but will miss it this year unfortunately 🥲

[@painaipaikan2020]

@@K8andGustav Year 2025, you still haven't missed it.

[@ORIGINOLINDIVIDUAL]

How is the smoke ?

[@K8andGustav]

When we went it was clear skies, but at the moment it is really bad. Usually from Feb-May it gets smokey.
