Thailand Motorcycle Tour | Mae Hong Son Loop

[@MeganKaptein]

Hi everyone, thank you so much for watching! I absolutely loved travelling in northern Thailand and the Mae Hong Son Loop was truly a rider's paradise. For more photos from my trip: megankaptein.com/mae-hong-son-loop/

Hi Megan, good ride & video....next time try ride around Malaysia..👌

[@MeganKaptein]

Thanks, Hisham! Hopefully Malaysia in the future... it's definitely on my bucket list. 🇲🇾

[@jpschwieterman9226]

I was in Chaing Mai for 6 mo in 2017-18. How did you manage to do the Pai Tour with a jacket on...?! It's soo freaking hot even without the jacket... Did your trip take place last winter or recently? And I also lost a 1K dollar phone. My story was a random guy actually tracked me down in Chiang Mai and said, "Is this your phone?" Thai culture is very honest and non materialistic. They are a beautiful people untainted by leftists western culture...

[@Watchmaty]

Im gonna ride soon from bkk to north, are u still there?

[@000-o4h]

Hey, its the Great One here... Wow, what a trip you had! It reminds me the mainland Chinese trip we took a couple of years ago, but just a little more developed over all. I enjoyed watching the beautiful sceneries as well as the cute little people you met along the ride.., they were SO very interesting to me because they were SO none western! They were not contaminated and unspoiled :). Observations: 1.The different delicious foods you had made my month watery, in a literal sense! All of sudden I realized I had just missed a few seconds of clip because I was so busy swallowing my saliva! But I went back to it... .I didn't miss anything, no worries! 2. It seemed there were not too much meat in the dishes..., mostly are different types of vegetables..., I think I might will hungry 20 minutes later after the meal..., no wonder those cute little people were all looked fit.... . Not like us, grew up on meat and potatoes, ha, and cabbages of course! Love it! 3. How did it feel like to sleep in a mosquito net? I noticed there was one in your room above the bed. Was it hot during the night without AC? 4. Why did even bother to draw the directional dividing lines on the roads :).., geeez! It seemed they had very little regards in respect of which side of the road they ought to stay on! You gotta felt all of sudden you were snatched by the Darth Vader, along with your 500x, and dropped you off on the roads of Devonshire England somewhere... . 5. It seemed there was a thumb sized bruise on your upper left arm..., was it left behind by the Darth Vader? 6. Most of all, please forgive me to say it again, you are BEAUTIFUL!!! Just couldn't help noticing it as a red blooded man. P.S. Hey, bless me with more than just a heart emoji this time. Do you like to ride cruisers by any chance? Sorry typos: "be hungry", "of the clip", "did they even bother.."

Thank you also for your kind words about Thai people. I have subscribed to your channel, and have watched some of your other vlogs, including your first one dedicated to the memory of your friend, Gabriel. So sorry for your loss. Your vlogs are well put together and are very interesting. Keep up the good work. Look forward to more from you. 👍🏽🙏🏽

Very nice and timely video! I plan to do the loop soon, maybe next week. I had originally planned to ride my Yamaha NMAX scooter for this, but after returning a couple days ago from a nearly 3,000km ride from Chiangmai south to Ko Phayam, with a detour to Bangkok on the way back north, I can safely say it is not a comfortable long distance touring machine! I will rent either a CB 500 or a V-Strom and have a more enjoyable ride! We were in Chiangmai at the same time! I was wondering if I would see myself in your flower festival footage... What a great day that was. I like the cooler weather during the "winter", but I have to say I'm really loving the rainy season. Everything is so lush and green now, with fantastic clean air.

Megs.. AJ sent me here. Been quite a while. So envious. Looks like a great time. Maybe see you when you stop in to visit when you're home. G...

[@ianmalleau3398]

My thanks to you Megan and Team. Nicely Done!

[@MeganKaptein]

Thanks Ian! No team for this one... just me and my tripod. 😉

[@robertrisk93]

Hi Megan, love your channel. I follow you from the Dominican Republic. Thanks, keep posting.

Thailand is the paradise of visitor!!!

[@MeganKaptein]

Indeed!

[@ronboe6325]

Bangkok will always remind me of Rhapsody in Blue from the United Airlines TV ads. Thanks for sharing.

[@MeganKaptein]

Thanks for watching!

[@lylemacdonald6672]

Ok, I admit it; I am a wee bit envious. Especially as I sit with my leg propped up being iced (blew out knee... no riding for a bit). And I suddenly have a hankering for Panang currie! Thanks for sharing your adventure. 🇨🇦

[@MeganKaptein]

Oh no! Bummer about your knee, but good thing you can most likely get some decent Panang in your part of the world too? (I hope!) Wishing you a swift and thorough recovery, Lyle!

[@michaelsupple6081]

Looks a great way to escape the pandemic and the snow and cold. Thank you as always for sharing your adventure with us in isolation in the mountains of BC. Great trip you really are getting good at this travel thing :)

[@MeganKaptein]

Thanks Robert! Travel definitely brings out the best in me... I just wish I started my vlog earlier. But better late than never, right? :)

[@ROBERTTIMCO]

@@MeganKaptein oh for sure, hell could have done it earlier had something come up and be doing something else now. Best experience is the one you are in.

[@doktordice9219]

That was absolutely incredible !!!!! Thanks for posting your travels ... another trip to add to the bucket list of life !

[@Flaresh]

[@paulkmaster3231]

Excellent video. Great production.

[@MeganKaptein]

Thank you! 🙏

[@AhmedShafi]

Cool Vlog, just what I needed to prepare myself for the MHS Loop. Many thanks !

[@chermarl5955]

If you come during the rainy season, the view of the mountains will be much more beautiful, everywhere you drive, there are green trees everywhere and fresh air that is as good as your pretty long legs.👍🏻👍🏻

[@MeganKaptein]

Thank you! I hope to come back in the future when the pandemic is over. 😊

[@bunterngkhemwong]

Just come across so nice work nice view .Hope I'm gonna ride that loop in the future.

[@stuartshone1740]

fabulous , next time in chiang mai this is on my must do list

[@MeganKaptein]

It's worth the trip for sure!

[@vtrack1963]

You do a wonderful job highlighting the best of the areas you visit. It makes a viewer want to visit them. It was nice you were able to get a bike you were familiar with. It looked like there was a larger variety on bike size in Thailand as compared with Vietnam. Thank you for the tour, and another great video!

[@MeganKaptein]

Thanks for your kind words! It was definitely a significantly larger bike and I stayed almost entirely on road for this loop. I was happy to have a smaller bike in Vietnam for off-roading purposes because it gave me confidence to venture into more difficult terrain!

[@paulconnell1309]

Very cool video. Outstanding trip!

[@mehimarkuk4386]

Wow .. thank you.. another place I would love to visit

[@MeganKaptein]

I highly recommend it!
