Exploring Rural Thailand - 45 Minutes from Pattaya

[@gibbs2799]

Yap, back breaking work for peanuts. That's why those farmer's daughters end up in Pattaya.

[@greyhound1957]

I want to give minimum 3 thumbs up: showing the real Thai way of living in the country is so much more interesting than the night life in Pattaya, and there you see the true face of the friendly Thai people as they welcome you in their habitat.👍👍👍

[@Rides4Kickz]

Yes, Everyone we meet out in the rural areas is always very welcoming and friendly.

[@testgadget42]

These are my favorite kind of video too. Seems like everyone is filming the same things. R4K shows us real life in Thailand. More, more! :D

[@wojamacolit]

Makes you think about the money a bargirl would make from a single lady drink. The same as a couple/few hours back breaking work picking this type of produce in the fields in the sun! I am sure hardly anyone appreciates the hard work that is put into picking fruit and vegetables.

[@naderahmedabdulla1097]

Vee is burning more calories while driving 😫😫😫 .. Lucas, you need to feed her all the time 😊😊😊 ... I hope she's OK after that fall down 😟😟😟

[@Rides4Kickz]

She's fine, thanks

[@diplomatapg]

Like all your videos but tell us a little about yourself and Vi? How you met? Etc. Thanks for the adventures!

[@pjmac2102]

Love all your videos but especially this type. You travel like me..."oh, what it that?? Better stop and find out". Keep up the great work-much appreciated.

[@Rides4Kickz]

Thanks for watching!

[@basejump213]

I love these videos where you go exploring on your motorbikes.🏍️🛵😀👍

[@Rides4Kickz]

Glad you like them!

[@kyoto32001]

I've never picked a pineapple. A nose, yes- but never a pineapple. LOL

[@ZENbulldozer]

I remember when this channel was voiced by a computer, but it just keeps getting better and better.

[@chriscorleone3565]

Yes, sound is very clear now, without background noice.

[@kellygrannis8024]

I want to comment on the changes you have been making to your filming techniques and that I really enjoy the changes. I recognize that you are now doing flash forwards and breaks to segments of the videos that are unrelated to the current place you are in the video and then return to the current place. I really like that change that you've made. Kudos for continued improvements in your skills.

[@Rides4Kickz]

Cool, thanks!

[@oreospeedwaggindoesamerica6078]

He’s definitely took it up another notch!! Fantastic

[@kgb2110]

what Kelly Grannis said

[@hannuharju-seppanen3438]

Its called man in Thailand the root that grows under the ground, its a root they grind to powder and useing in the food industrie. Me and my fiance have a farm in Isan and harvest one time every year. And we even have little pineapple in the garden outside our house. Great to see little country life be filmed, the pinapple price in Sweden is about 80:- bath for one.

[@bradaltemeyer4472]

our Texas price for Pineapple is close to 80 baht as well, I think I saw it at $2.78 yesterday (but exchange rates vary at times)

[@johnbrown0224]

That's Casava aka Manioc. Grown all over the world and is a staple in many countries in Africa, South America and Asia. Yes, Tapioca is made from Casava roots. The stalks are kept after the whole plant is removed. The stalks are then cut into smaller lengths and stuck back in the ground to root and start the cycle all over again.

[@bradaltemeyer4472]

Cool, I was thinking that was the case with the stalks/ many plants will grow from cuttings, so if it wasn't a product, then it was for the next generation of the plants.

[@anthonyC214]

Happy to see Vee has her own ride. Hope to see more of her riding by herself.

[@Rides4Kickz]

I hope so too!

[@kevinandtanya2244]

👋🏻👍Never knew pineapple grew on the ground learnt something new today.🤔🤔😂😂 Stay safe🙏and enjoy your trip😊

[@Rides4Kickz]

Thanks! 😃

[@ricklarouche4105]

This is great, love this sort of serendipity trip..

[@nigelhenry7145]

Casava methinks....... Yuca in South America..... Waaaaaaaaay better than Potatoes....... Good evening everyone except the Trolls

[@jrperlita11]

I picked and eat pineapples in Veracruz Mexico

[@jrperlita11]

I love it when you reply. Your videos are great! It is 11;37pm in San Antonio Tx.

[@chriscorleone3565]

Lucas would be the perfect host for a travel TV show 😄👍👍 Not easy to allways have something new, interesting and informative to show. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@pattraynor3615]

Jaysus, I must be a dope, I always thought pineapples grew on trees, there ya go, ya learn something new every day, thanks Lucas

[@tup2u]

me too LOL

[@Rides4Kickz]

Happy to help!

[@carleveson7518]

Your ' Content ' simple unrivaled I.m.h.o. Gr8 stuff.

[@Rides4Kickz]

Thanks Carl 🙏

[@robertjackson9601]

Hey us farmers are really enjoying this video. The tubers are cassava root, or tapioca they make a cassava flour out of it. The guy in the pineapple field probably went home and said, hey your never going to believe what happened to me today!

[@Rides4Kickz]

hahaha, yes, never thought about that, but you're probably right. 👍

[@robertjackson9601]

@@Rides4Kickz Lucas really been enjoying your videos over the past months, looking forward to a visit in the next few years. Would like to take you and Vee out to dinner to thank you for producing such great content.

[@MrBargill]

Casava/Yucca...very good with salmon....

[@gordon3063]

in my 4 years or so in Thailand, I only seen one pineapple farm it was near Krabi town, most land the past 20 years or so is given up for oil palm tree, but watch out for marajuana its got the green light, I was astounded like you when I first saw pineapple plants about 30 years ago in Hawaii, i thought they grew on tress just like money 555

[@gregh7457]

what do you mean by "green light" is that a pun? LOL

[@craigross341]

Around Udon, Nong Khai, there's a lot of pineapple. They harvest it when it's nearly liquid sugar. It eats your teeth.

[@tuffynor]

Cassava plant. Yummy boiled and then fried.

[@martykong3592]

WOW! I need to watch these in order, as it explains so much more! Kudos to Vee for her own ride, and she looks so comfortable with basket and machete in hand for pineapple:) Great share and thanks for sharing again.... did you say 30 years ago????? All the BEST to both of you! Cheers! :)

[@markymark7722]

Chonburi, Rayong, Trat, all big fruit and vegetable growing areas, some of my partner's family go seasonal picking, we've visited and had some wild Isaan dinner parties, beautiful area, enjoy this trip mate 👌.

[@greg1083]

First time I saw a pineapple patch with roadside stall was In Okinawa. This was 1971 and they sold them for 25 cents. Chopped them up the with KA-BAR for lunch.

[@Oggiwara1]

The man said they sold to a factory... I had 5 Rai of Sapallot a few years ago, just before the price went down because everyone did grow it. The first one I got over 12 Bath a Kilo at a canning factory, the last Rai I got 1 Bath a Kilo for those bigger than 1,5 Kilo. But the factory held the workers and transport. So with approx 1 ,5 Bath a piece planted and fertilized, I got back more money than I spent.

[@andrewrobinson2565]

That is fantastic tarmac. Ever been to Africa? Will you tell us about the "lady from 30 years ago" in episode 3? Worth the trip just to see sapalot pineapples 🍍 growing. Fab.

[@plbmck798]

Grew up on a vegetable farm in Delaware. I've grown and harvested almost every vegetable grown in N.A. It's incredibly hard work, and the rewards are small. Unless you are Bill Gates, you don't get rich farming. Great video as usual. Thanks!

[@lasvegasveteran4224]

Nope. Never picked a pineapple. Adding to my bucket list.

[@kunzumla94]

Hello from lockdown UK. I'm not envious at all. Thanks for keeping me entertained 8 Baht a kilo for pineapples is crazy. Less than 20 English pence. I'd like to see what houses you could rent in the countryside. Price. Location etc . If I were to reside in Thailand I wouldn't want to be in the city. Maybe some kilometres away from there where you get the best of both worlds. Take it easy man.

[@brunowinter931]

We were growing Pineapples ourselves. Had 200k plants on 3 fields. Stopped it due to too low prices. A big pineapple is 1.5 to 2 kg. Their field was very well looked after. No weed really. Thailand is one of the biggest Pineapple preserve producers and exporters.

[@lolargh]

Catch the Instagram for Dark Navy dress girl? 😊 For my little brother of course.

[@jimmyjimmy4286]

Great Vid R4K good to get out into the sticks for a look at rural life, yeah I agree when I first saw a pineapple growing I was quite surprised too, for some reason you expect them to grow ok trees like most other fruits. Pretty cool tho and delicious just don't eat too much of it cos you get pineapple mouth 😂 Fun exploring look forward to the next episode big thumbs up from UK 🇬🇧

[@bradaltemeyer4472]

pineapples take about 4 years to produce, I have a few growing here in the RGV part of Texas, had one produce last summer. *just take the top from a pineapple and plant it/ when you get the moisture and drainage and watering right- they will grow nicely (in hot climates/ or as a potted plant)

[@djj666]

Loving these educational trips, something so different from the mainstream.

[@Manny-xo1em]

The root is call yucca... it makes casabe, popular in the Caribbean and south America.

[@LeChef5269]

Great video Lucas. Like to see the farms and farmers. Very friendly people.

[@why-so-serious7895]

Aww poor Vee all happy waving then next clip crashes😩, should've got a pcx 😂

[@stuarthessinger4101]

Pretty interesting today Lucas. Until recently I always thought pineapples grew on trees 🤣🤣 The crop that looked like big potatoes reminded me of taro. A snake at last, if but a dead one🤣🤣 The sneak peek of your next video looked like Vee came off the bike, I hope she’s okay 🤞

[@Rides4Kickz]

She's fine, thanks though 👍

[@2QuartersKorean]

I thought that too, until I was stationed in Hawaii an saw the pineapple fields.

[@pb2067]

until I first went to Thailand in 2001 i always thought Pineapples grew on trees 555 another great vlog

[@viperbaron1]

Off the beaten path. Where you go to experience the Thai life. Another enjoyable video.

[@tanapolb.193]

no I don't believe you since I don't think that they can grow pineapple in the Northeast region of Thailand.

[@craigross341]

9:08 It's not so much the fact of being bitten by something venomous that freaks me out, or dying, it's things like kidney damage. What a horrible thought.

[@lostinaustralia-dave7802]

Another excellent Vlog Lucas. I am a bit over the bar Vloggers ATM, as Pattaya will change again once the current scurge is over so good to see outside of Pattaya for me as I have my best times at the places most tourists never visit. I find that once the locals realise that you are not a typical Westerner the mood changes and they drop their guard more showing the real person that they are. I realised this more so in Issan, I got a mile instead of an inch. Please keep up your good work and I always look forward to your new posting notifications.

[@theinvisiblechurch1607]

Currently in BKK. Would you be open to a riding buddy? I would love for you to show me around, if you ever have the time.

[@reedScheminske]

I liked the stops at farms. Interesting to see the countryside and the different crops. Look forward to more adventures. And hoping to be over there before to long. Keep up the good work!

[@ivabiggin2299]

Fantastic vlog Lucas at least Vee's bike has a bit of power under 150cc to slow on the highway I get lost on my bike and car a lot and love it

[@waynesitarz424]

Non-edible snake if someone's not picked it up already.

[@albertmaynard1147]

Great song by Talking Heads

[@davidheyes4771]

Great, there is so much to do , looks fun Lucas, looking forward to the next episode.

[@craigross341]

I like the Yamaha. It looks less overweight than the Honda.

[@ralphlewis6773]

13:35 that was a nice preview. Definitely waiting for that episode. Cool to see the real Thailand so to speak. Did not know agriculture was like it is around Pattaya. I always thought more of the Isann area.

[@mauihowey]

That was a cool video, i enjoyed it......my sister in-law lives in rayon........good work......again!

[@Rides4Kickz]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@rockeerockey6941]

Snake looks like a Krait, but I'm no expert on Asian herps

[@paulhefner2813]

I am interested in a long term retirement. I have an mm2h. Do you know if there are any new options besides the expensive elite visa? Maybe it would make an interesting episode.

[@yoyoyo3531]

First time I saw a pineapple growing was in Costa Rica, I was pretty surprised too always thought they grew on trees.

[@skeeterchiggins]

The snake was maybe a Keelback? I thought you meant it was a krait, but that is definitely not it.

[@BassMunn]

Now this is the kind of stuff I want to come and do in Thailand. That little Yamaha is so cool! Looking forward to watching the rest of the trip

[@dannyjarrell9625]

Did she rent the bike. She looks to know how to ride. The ones you thought were potatoes kinda look like yams. Saw she laid bike over at end, is she ok?😱

[@conancol7556]

Vi debusing drills need sorting , hope all OK

[@kennethwalker4701]

Love your videos ,watch everyone! Thanks for taking us along.There a joy to watch!.........

[@Rides4Kickz]

Our pleasure!

[@alfredting1794]

They are not potatoes. They are tapioca stems.

[@robbielittle52]

Interesting ....keep it up. RobNoi

[@spiritmatrix2004]

you are one of the most watchable youtubers out there, love the videos and the way you narrate them.

[@Rides4Kickz]

Appreciate that

[@keithprinn720]

I would do this sort of day tripping more than hanging around the entertainment areas from Pattaya.

[@therabbitnews9362]

Rubber trees don't grow well in hot area, Isaan.

[@anthonycarney907]

That there are a lot of strange trys of fruit and vegetables are n thiland I loved to buy pineapple 🍍 on the beach ⛱️

[@randymack1782]

there is a road in middle of nowhere, it is a horrible dirt & washed out road, and only a few families live on it, with it ending at a mobile home, the road is actually named Nowhere road, but anytime they make a new road sign, someone steals it within weeks

[@billsimpson2392]

14:30 Tell Vee she looks SWY on the Yamaha Lou...... Maybe not glamorous 14:34 but SWY... 👍👍👍😂😂😂🙏🙏🙏😍😍😍 I hope she didnt hurt herself!

[@Rides4Kickz]

Thanks Bill, I'll let her know.

[@staticthewhitewolf7040]

She needs a little independence to go to the farmers market huh?

[@sos-chris]

Nice trip out into the sticks . Tapioca is used as a thicking agent for cooking and baking cakes and a type substitute thai bread.

[@steveo8810]

had a pineapple from a field just like that, cut and tasted on the spot, sweetest ive ever had although it was warm. also they tend to set up a little stall on the nearest road selling them and juicing

[@richardyiga949]

Cassava roots. Eaten in some parts of Africa.

[@michaelw9961]

Unique content from this trip.

[@52sadman]

Tight bastard just pay the man

[@theo-sa6764]

Interesting, hope Vee is okay after the fall......nearly 40K subs......I am early but congratulations.....well done.

[@Rides4Kickz]

Thank You 👍

[@Markevans63]

Give me an Aerox 155 any day of the week over a PCX

[@Mufcuk]

Cassava... The sweet potato type plant

[@youngmathematicians7502]

They are not potatoes, they are cassava (yams)

[@sirinthip5834]

Hi, good​ luck​ for you, i cant​ belive​ it 2 b per kilo, people​ work​ very​ hard, how meny​ kilos per day, well,,, as long as people​ have​ work, dont west of​ breath, go for it💃💃💌💌😁😁nice​ video, thanks​🍹

[@Rides4Kickz]

Yes, thank you 🙏

[@Roof_Pizza]

So get the PCX for its resale value.

[@polaroidwhite9037]

Is that Travis Pastrana ...wow!

[@fredriknyborg7441]

Travelin man on the road again. I never liked the Pcx from the first time I saw it. Only tried the first 125 cc. Not for me. On average,how many nights in a month do you Stay in your condo? Just joking. If you had a choice of Xmaxs and Forza at same price,which would you choose?

[@Rides4Kickz]

I would choose the Forza if it is the new 350, but the Xmax if it was the old Forza 300.

[@erikb1858]

You should visit "Toon and Leigh's porpeang farm Thailand" next time you're in Issan if you're interested in Agriculture. They have a great KZbin channel and Blog and practice some very cool forms of growing!

[@Rides4Kickz]

Thanks for the tips!

[@markfromct2]

Good job. I really enjoy spending time with you. Thank you for sharing your adventures!

[@Rides4Kickz]

Our pleasure!

[@pokeamaniwillnotbereplaced]

Hi Guys enjoyed the video it was good to see some rural living and it's only 45 minutes from Pattaya. I saw Vee took a tumble on the gravel. I hope it's only her pride that is bruised. Take care GOD Bless you and yours. M

[@Rides4Kickz]

Yes, she's fine 👍

[@robertmaddelena7890]

Tell Vee it's nice to hear her voice. Im. Hungry. What Thai girl isn't. Lol. Love the farm stuff. Have fun

[@Rides4Kickz]

Exactly 😁

[@ian3902]

Cassava or tapioca is right, the sticks are waste.

[@molonlabe9602]

Aerox would be my choice between the two. I've noticed, but don't know why, that Thais do prefer the PCX. I was the same as you about the Pineapple. Before coming to Thailand it came from a can and had a hole in the middle. Thai Pineapple is the best, by far, that I've ever had. It's about time for a road trip over to our side of the bay!

[@Rides4Kickz]

yes, coming soon, but not how you may think 😮

[@eleanor4482]

Another enjoyable video. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.

[@Rides4Kickz]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@perolsson4344]

Very nice Loucous and Vee, i love the Thai-countryside ! Some of my most amazing experiences i had in Thailand was in rural and/or mountain regiones of Thailand, many years ago though.

[@Rides4Kickz]

Thanks for sharing

[@darrenjoyce2475]

Great video mate👍i like these type of video's you make, reminds me of being in donchan, kalasin, with my girlfriend and helping out with her family on the farm then all going to a buffet in the evening etc etc ... ahh reminiscing now 😂 cant wait to get back lol, you and vee keep up the good work mate ! Always look forward to the variety of video's you make👍

[@Rides4Kickz]

That's awesome

[@goldviper5280]

You never explained what the sticks are for?????

[@Rides4Kickz]

They are actually the trunks of the Tapioca Tree. I think they keep them and re-plant them, they will actually root again.

[@midgek-hdahlke6378]

Hello Lucas and Vii from Germany . I like the way you did your videos . You ever have some unknown things to show us , and so it's very infomativ for us users . Go on with this good work and all the best to you both . Tschüüs . Midge .
