I FAILED to Solo Cycle Thailand & this is why [Part 4]

In this video, I set out on an ambitious journey to solo cycle across Thailand from Phuket to Hua Hin, but despite my determination, I fell short of my goal. The road was tougher than I expected, filled with unexpected challenges, both physically and mentally, that pushed me to my limits. From grueling weather conditions to the relentless fatigue, I faced obstacles that made me question my abilities and the purpose of my journey. In this raw and honest reflection, I share the reasons behind my failure, the lessons learned, and what this experience taught me about perseverance and self-discovery.
So did I fail? Did I FK. :)

Hey Chris, I want to express my deepest appreciation for your incredible journey cycling from Phuket to Hua Hin. Your determination and passion not only inspired countless individuals along the way but also motivated me personally to take a bold step in my career. Witnessing your perseverance and commitment to your goals made me realize the importance of chasing my dreams, which led me to apply for a job in the oil and gas industry. Your journey is a powerful reminder that with dedication, anything is possible. Thank you for being such a remarkable source of inspiration man!

[@Walk4r]

pinned! wow man yeah that’s awesome. I just try to live and love life best i can and fair play to taking that step. Happiness is all we can hope to achieve so keep going towards it and let nothing get in the way. I started my dream chasing 10 years and never looked back. Go for it man!! incredible

[@steverosse]

Epic. Respect. Liked and shared.

[@Walk4r]

Incredible thank you dude, and thanks for the wonderful gift! its my most treasured item :) - oh and thanks for making me carry it freaking half way across thailand :) next time... maybe make me a keyring :)

[@steverosse]

@@Walk4r A kayak you say? Bedazzled with lighters? Awesome! When must I have it ready?

[@Walk4r]

@@steverosse hahahah perfect for a walk!

[@DarrenM.]

Good work mate. Good psych out to begin with. Good to see Steve's turtle made it to Hua Hin ( but was spared ). I am sure Steve appreciates it too. Have a good rest now. Cheers

[@Walk4r]

haha yeah, I have it sitting proudly in my youtube cupboard of random things ive collected. Absolutely love it, thanks for the lovely message. More to come :)

[@PaulWalliswriter]

There is no better content creator than this guy!!!!

[@Walk4r]

Wow, thank you mate! Just wish the numbers would reflect that, but maybe one day. Appreciate that, really do! See you in the next one :)

[@EarthCamper]

Yes I strongly agree. I have been telling Chris to do more of cars, boats, lifestyle, travel , food and history , his channel will blow up. I enjoy his videos, but like to see his channel with more views and subscribers....Particularly this video is awesome though...

[@Walk4r]

@@EarthCamper Chris Parker, yeah he will be perfect for that :)

[@TLFarm]

In total agreement. A mix of great storytelling, humor, passion and a dash of vulnerability. Tipped to be a BIG HIT I reckon.

[@PaulWalliswriter]

@@TLFarm buying Chris Walker stock now might be a wise move 🕶

[@Farkurnell1]

happy you made it in one piece, the dogs scare the crap out of me. Also happy Steve's turtle gift made it,i thought you destroyed it,hang it up with pride. hope you get yourself back to full strength and i look forward to your next vid 👍

[@Walk4r]

Yeah I aint great with them, just push past and usually has been fine, doesnt stop me from doing anything, just always a worry at 4am on my own haha. Yeah of course id never destory a gift, especially one that is actually decent :) Will do mate, taken a nice rest and already working on 3 more :) See you soon!

[@HaklGuru]

Thank you for sharing your experience and taking care of a few pets along the way! See you soon…

[@Walk4r]

I reckon these dogs who sit around all day in the sun, they have about 5 seconds of running before they get knackered haha.

[@JourneyManAsia]

[@Walk4r]

Plastic? No surgery here mate, Tom jones haha, legend. Yeah its growing slowly I guess, Im happy enough :) Many thanks

[@Jack-2day]

Watching those dogs attack reminded me of the time last year in Cambodia (they’re EVERYWHERE by the way) where I was riding along the dirt roads of small villages outside of Siem Reap, ….almost drove into a culvert while kicking at 7 / 8 of ‘em lol If I was riding anywhere the amount you do I might employ a few strategies ie: a bell / high pitched air horn etc Enjoyed the vid! Cheers

[@Walk4r]

yeah damn, they are so unpredictable, sometimes i feel they will do nothing then they start chasing me haha, its all good, survived so far - cambodia sounds nice to cycle but yeah ive heard that too. Glad you liked it, onwards to the next :)

[@herrmeistermann2426]

Well done Sir Ginger.

[@Walk4r]

Sir Ginger!!! well.. thats a tattoo idea. Thank you :)

[@Statto9]

That cow looked quite surprised to see you cycling past at ridiculous o clock 😂

[@Walk4r]

haha yeah he was very friendly tho. i’m named him michael

[@tookay5]

Paddy not gonna be happy with your opener and closing hahah.

[@Walk4r]

it’s okay. i don’t care :) coys!

[@darylmcgee4349]

After finding You through Steve & Tim I subscribed. Now I find myself binge watching (I should get my arse off the couch I know). What a massive effort mate and the content is so unique. I hope this time next year You have many more subscribers. Maybe see you there one day. I am a Dog person so loved the wheelchair Mafia 🤩

[@darylmcgee4349]

I should add that all dogs were rescue or adopted. One born without a front leg but he gave other dogs a good run for there money

[@Walk4r]

i’m glad your enjoying it mate i try to make binge watchable rubbish haha. but yeah the mafia stuff is great heading back there on thursday just to see chris and the dogs. good luck with your channel im happy with my subs dont care for too many more. whatever happens happens

[@darylmcgee4349]

@@Walk4r I am looking forward to seeing the pups again. My channel is purely, well, nothing. Just a You-tube watcher. 😄😄😄

[@ronniew3229]

Well done Chris Walker.

[@Walk4r]

Thank you kindly mate!

[@kasiwawa]

Much respect for your adventure. Good to see that you finally understood why motorbike drivers in Thailand protect themselves from the sun by wearing arm and leg protectors. Why didn't the so-called Thailand expert Steve with an "e" warn you about this?

[@Walk4r]

haha yeah i now have full leg and sleeve uv projected things, hat, neck scarf. i might as well get a motorbike /) thanks a lot mate appreciate that

[@SimosThailand]

I was just about to complain about putting more rubbish in the ocean then you pulled the shirt out - hopefully to bin it elsewhere 😆😆 Great video and epic cycle mate, well done 😎😎

[@Walk4r]

haha thanks dude and yeah i’ll always stick things in the bin

[@TRIPONTHIS]

I had to get a look at TNT set up with Steve. Thats a big light...@1:43

[@Walk4r]

haha thats small, I have 3 of them and still too dark for my liking :)

[@scottymac101]

I'm sorry for the abuse, I'm glad you couldn't hear me, such a bad thing to do, bike + night + dogs rrrr they scare the bejesus out of me!! Well done great edit. Oh and this is a great option for ya electrolytes better option than crap powders... Natural Efe | SEA SALT NEW ZEALAND 250g on Lazada..should do it everyday regardless!

[@Walk4r]

What abuse? haha was that you. Yeah I get scared but nothing stops an idiot just push through :) haha yeah ill have a look at that, great tip, thanks mate.

[@FunForJason]

haha sick because of aircon bro... they all super dirty in any hotel in thailand... and hey a quick tip for you dog chasing problems... get yourself a dog repeller ultrasonic device... I cycle a lot in thailand and had the same problem... I got one for 300 bath and it works with 80% of the dogs... just the old grumpy dogs dont seem to hear the high tones anymore 55555

[@Walk4r]

Ah could be the aircon, yeah so many units pumping out like hot air even when it was set low. Ah its okay, I like the dogs, just difficult to feed packs of them, but the individuals are okay, id rather be on the bike than walking which is always terrifing. Great tip tho. 555

[@VisionofTomo]

Fucking Right on bro!! thats a mission!!

[@Walk4r]

haha thanks dude, super fun to try... no more cycling for a few weeks :)

[@redddo1]

You deserve way more subscribers mate. You are a real funny b*gger. Cheers from Chiang Mai.

[@Walk4r]

Legend! Its all good, happy with the high quality ones I have :) up up up

[@CJINPARADISE]

I think your vids are wonderful and happy to share your channel. Would it be ok to take a clip and shout out your channel on my tiny channel?

[@Walk4r]

Go ahead feel free to take whatever you want or if you want any footage mate, happy to send it, tons of drones and stuff. But yeah that would be amazing dude

[@CJINPARADISE]

@@Walk4r Sure will Happy to help. Do you have any drone footage of Hua Hin? As I don't have a drone. Always nice to have some flying in vids.

[@Walk4r]

@@CJINPARADISE I have some and some stock footage, your welcome to it. How to connect, ping me over an email - from the about section - and ill create a googledrive link :)

[@CJINPARADISE]

@@Walk4r cheers sent you an email and for sure I will shout out to your channel soon in my vids. I think your vids are really good and well done with all the artworks.

[@ThailandThomas]

I am going to tell you what I told Paddy Doyle. Fxxx reality, no one cares you rode 100 miles in the rain. This is entertainment. Put your bike in the back of a pickup til you find something interesting. Then Sprite yourself down with a spray bottle, pull the bike out and start filming Just create a great illusion. This is Hollywood. Sorry I don't have any friends Chris, maybe one or two or three. I did tell Chris Parker to check you out. Always enjoy your videos.

[@Walk4r]

haha thanks dude appreciate the support. how you know all these legends… well parker is anyway. paddy just grinds :) i don’t mind cycling im not creating content for youtube im creating for myself dude. i’m happy i’ve now cycled and walked more than most people at least over thailand onwards to a new adventure

[@StuartManager]

Not realy a long way to be honest. .to easy. Try south america. 6 months cycling then you no what a journey is.

[@Walk4r]

Never said it was a long way... But I am fat, and hate cycling. So things are harder :) Appreciate the comment :)
