Thailand's Amazing Views And Gorgeous Roads - Thailand Motorbike Tour EP4

Another very wet day on the Northeast Thailand motorbike tour. Today I was excited to see a place that many had recommended and it looked beautiful in photos. I would soon realize that this beautiful place was not for me. I'll explain why I decided to move on. Join me on this wet, and sometimes sunny, day in Thailand as I continue my motorbike adventure on my Honda ADV 160. In this episode I take you to see several interesting places, show you some of the most amazing views I have ever seen and avoid the rain as much as possible. So many beautiful roads on this segment! Let's get this show on the road!

6:15 That lush green Grass...i can lay down n be there forever 9:49 That blue skies n roads ... people are missing it out ....lot of people need to be there n enjoy that now

[@LifewithSerg]

Oh it was very beautiful. Just no one there. Felt odd.

[@jbranche8024]

Scenery looks epic. The twisty roads on a motorbike would be amazing. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.

[@LifewithSerg]

Those were some of the best roads I’ve encountered on this trip so far

[@enricohagn]

​@@LifewithSergever been to Nakhon Phanom as yet, Sarge? Pretty good biking roads around here.

[@grifsfoodandtravel]

Wow, that view was amazing. Feel bad more people are not visiting those areas, as I would love to see them thrive. Thank you for showing northern part of Thailand. The bike ride looks like so much fun.

[@LifewithSerg]

It’s low season so most are closed. Still gorgeous!

[@chatchaweewong1071]

That place closed down during low season, they will open again around Oct, and peak at Nov - Feb, Lovely vlog as always mate! Cheer!

[@LifewithSerg]

OK, that makes a lot of sense. I’m still glad I got to go up there and see the views.

[@abbasmirah3349]

Wow, this is so so beautiful Thanks for sharing that 🎉

[@LifewithSerg]

My pleasure 😊

[@Paweenachannel5145]

Such a beautiful city but sadly to see many business closed and empty there. Thank you for sharing another part of Thailand. Good job Serg

[@LifewithSerg]

It’s low season so apparently that’s why everything was closed. In November through January this place gets absolutely packed, mostly with Thai tourists.

[@BrendanCP]

I always drive around Samui with my high beam headlights on during the day because you mentioned it once a while ago! Keep up the great videos, really enjoying them. Cheers

[@LifewithSerg]

Yeah, that’s a great idea. Especially in this country.

[@maxineb9598]

And blind everyone coming towards you? Good one.

[@LifewithSerg]

@maxineb9598 DURING THE DAY… relax Karen.

[@jaydenktan3548]

Very nice views only wish it was longer video. Eagerly wait8ng for.the next one. Thank you Serg

[@LifewithSerg]

More to come!

[@SABAI15]

Great video Serg as usual Serg! What an awsome view that place had! I definitely would have stayed a night there just to catch the sunset.

[@LifewithSerg]

I thought about staying there, but it’s low season and most places were shut down. And since I am just writing alone all day long, in the evenings, I like to be around people.

[@tallthintom]

Nice video Serg! Very beautiful scenery at the places you went to.

[@LifewithSerg]

It was truly breathtaking!

[@TheThaiLife]

The views throughout the video are incredible. Even with the rain, it's why this time of year is really the best time to travel here.

[@LifewithSerg]

I’ve been really fortunate to see some wonderful views. I’m just hoping not to get caught out in a really bad monsoon somewhere.

[@TheThaiLife]

@@LifewithSerg The sad thing is when the rain stops, the smoke starts and you won't get any blue skies or long distance views like you are getting. But I also hope you don't get caught in monsoons. You just barely beat the flooding in some areas you left in the golden triangle. Really serious flooding too.

[@tomofnorthcal]

probably was a holiday, beautiful landscapes Thx, Serg

[@LifewithSerg]

It’s low season. Come November that place will be absolutely rammed.

[@enricohagn]

​@@LifewithSergthe riding weather will be much better, too 😊

[@ImsunaSong-gw2gs]

Wow beautiful ride!! ❤❤❤

[@LifewithSerg]

Yes amazing views!

[@mariovandenhovel1341]

Soo Much fun mate ❤

[@LifewithSerg]

I’m really enjoying myself on this trip. It’s definitely been challenging and frustrating at times, but it’s something different when you factor in the crazy weather and the distances I’m traveling.

[@dew4040]

Last January I was in Thailand and we took a van full of friends from Udon Thani to Chiang Rai along that Mekong River route. One of the most interesting routes I have taken in Thailand because I like seeing the remote areas. I think I'm going to do that again this December, but I may rent a motorcycle this time.

[@LifewithSerg]

That would be a good time of the year because it will be much cooler. I hope you enjoy.

[@letustravel]

This is a wonderful journey. I will also be riding these routes this year on my Yamaha Aerox 155. I'm already looking forward to it. Have a good trip.

[@LifewithSerg]

Have a great trip!

[@trentthai]

Absolutely mind blowing scenic ride. So worth it!

[@LifewithSerg]

Yes it was!

[@flyingkorn]

I’ve spent years living in Thailand, and never got the chance to do what you’re doing. Now that I’m back living in the U.S., I really wish that I have time to do a long road trip in Thailand.

[@LifewithSerg]

You can do it! Go to a road trip in the US while you were there. There was so much to see.

[@madjo23s]

love your video, raining season Don't swim in MaKong river, the current is too strong :) good luck on the road, take care

[@LifewithSerg]

Oh, yes, I would never consider swimming in that thing!

[@thomasauslander3757]

Kaeng Pha Dai looks like a dead end road facing Lao.. Great for camping 🏕️

[@LifewithSerg]

Yeah pretty much. Lol

[@nanalim4873]

That view is beautiful, but nothing compares to you 😏. Good video handsome! 🐻🐷

[@LifewithSerg]

Awwww you’re so sweet. 🐽

[@davidbollaerts4705]

What a beautiful scenery Serg. No tourists that's a shame for the local business.

[@LifewithSerg]

It was the middle of the week and this place will be absolutely rammed from about November to January during high season.

[@aloissvoboda7325]

Beautiful, but Why can't you put the names of the places where you are on the screen? I'm also a biker and I'd like to visit those places, but? 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@LifewithSerg]

@aloissvoboda7325 every location is listed on the description. There is a Google maps link to each location. I don’t like cluttering the videos so that’s why I put them all in the description. Enjoy.

I don't drive bikes, but I like this kund of trip. Cool, Serg! 😃😃

Thanks! 😃

Nice video, get a rain cover for your mobil like the line and grab rider's have😊

[@LifewithSerg]

Those are cute. I really wanted one of those little cute helmet covers for the phone. But the phone holder they come with it just absolute garbage.

[@dae1973]

Took that same drive ( in a car 😂 ) from Golden triangle to chiang Khong district. Great drive

[@LifewithSerg]

Oh yeah, there’s some amazing roads in between

[@lillianrosbottom7366]

What a beautiful view. Glad you moved on . Nowhere open there

[@LifewithSerg]

Yeah all closed. Off season.

[@barebarekun161]

Don't worry Serg, you go up in the mountains during the rainy season and middle of working days which is considered the low season for mountains tourism, rains too much with strong dangerous rivers and waterfalls currents and there's the potential of flash flooding and mudslides in the north and northeast region most Thai tourists don't risk going up during the Rain season it's normal during this time. And if this footage shot today then another reason why it's quiet and shops closed there is because it's after long holiday period from 9-12th of August this year shops probably closed for restocking supplies.

[@LifewithSerg]

I understand why it was empty. That footage was shot a week ago.

[@DreamofThailand19000]

I don't know local resorts and shops in Phu Chee Fa are shut down at this time. I was there in November 2019, and there were a lot of people. Sunrise was amazingly beautiful. But I get your point that it's odd that nobody is there!

[@LifewithSerg]

It was the middle of the week and it’s the middle of August. Come November, I’m sure that place will be rammed with tourists.

Pha Dai is a beautiful place but it is seasonal like so many places up here. Many places close part of the year because there are no visitors but reopen during the winter

[@LifewithSerg]

Yes, that’s exactly what I suspected once I got there. It was still worthwhile to see the views.

[@JDS54]

GREAT VLOG… 👍🏻

Thank you 😊

Berkeley huh, I lived just down the hill in El Cerrito for a while. really enjoyed it seemed pretty quiet. Well continue your travels safely any plans to cross into Laos for a day (minus your bike)...? I don't recall you traveling to any border countries while living in Thailand, might be wrong....Matt & Lucy (currently 91 degrees at 0515 AM)

[@LifewithSerg]

Hey Matt and Lucy, no plans to cross over on this trip. And you are correct, I have not visited any of the surrounding countries while I’ve lived here. I really need to change that.

[@thanaang1455]

You should visit Doi Pha Tung first, there is small Chinese community. You may try Chinese foods there.

[@LifewithSerg]

Thanks, but when you see these videos of of this tour, they’re about a week behind where I am currently

[@rayfl502]

Hey Serg, throw in a pair of foam ear plugs before you put your helmet on. You can still hear good and it will take care of your wind noise.

[@LifewithSerg]

Yeah I actually have some really good rubber ones. But I mostly wear noise canceling headphones on these trips.
