Off-Road to the EDGE: Exploring THAILAND’S Cliff with EPIC Views Over Laos!

[@Samuel_J_Russell]

This was definitely my favourite day of our trip and it was a pleasure to be a part of it. It turned out to be a great video with some quality editing and sound effects. The drone footage is insane - what a mental place that is. Ubon is such a beautiful province and that view is breathtaking. In such a chaotic world there's no better way to find some perspective and meaning than by visiting places like this. The ride in the back of the truck on the way back was a real white knuckle one at times and a lot of fun!

[@donaldcroom1483]

early moments of the ride back, we could see the dog following. he knew the way.

[@karlsthailand]

It was a great place to visit Sam. I’m so glad we made the effort. Cheers

The views look amazing Karl! Just wowww! Thank you for sharing another awesome video 😊

The intro shot from @2:23 is something I’ve not seen before ,well done mate! (audio tack spot on too) Cheers

[@karlsthailand]

Thanks very much. Actually I do it on a lot of my videos, especially the ones that involve hiking. Glad that you like it. Cheers

[@Scharrer23]

Hay Karl, amazing video again :) While i know this is not really your kind of contend, whould you consider making a "a day in the life of karl" video, where you show how you life, maybe your house, etc. when you not traveling? I understand if you dont want to do that for privacy reasons, but i think many of us would be really intrested.

[@karlsthailand]

It’s not really my type of thing tbh but I did do one last year. It’s called “Pattaya, Why I Live in Rage!” Cheers

Great vlog your drone footage is amazing thanks

[@karlsthailand]

Thanks Brett. I try!

[@PedroThai]

Gday Karl, great views of the mekong and Laos mate, well worth the trip. I had to laugh on your journey back in the back of the pick up, your arms on all three of you lads was the same colour as the red dirt track lol, cheers

[@karlsthailand]

We all got plenty of sunshine on that road trip. Cheers

[@andersbergman7241]

Thanks Anders

[@londoncabthailand4028]

Thank you a great video. 👍

[@karlsthailand]

Glad you liked it! Thanks

[@donaldcroom1483]

lots of thrills in this one. off the beaten track, but not really. 9:45 panning over the edge, the green patterns in the valley below look like a golf course. my favorite part, believe it or not, is the automated road map start to destination where you were going. that was a longer than usual haul, we saw you hanging on over rough terrain.. I was wishing the map could show elevation changes. as it was, with the signature soundtrack. it left enof for our imaginations to soar.

[@karlsthailand]

Thanks Donald. I like those fly-throughs because it’s the best way of actually conveying the extent of the whole journey. In all honesty they’re a lot of effort to create but I consider it worthwhile. Cheers

Another great place ventured to. Stunning views. Would love to drive in a place like that. Great way to enjoy my coffee. Thanks.

[@karlsthailand]

Thanks so much for your support Andrew. It is appreciated. If you had a 4wd it would be fun for sure.

[@andrewmack2161]

Another scenic extravaganza 👍 You could have done that journey on Mountain Bikes, but the oxygen tanks and defibrillator may have made it a little more taxing... 😁

[@karlsthailand]

If we’d had the time I would have been happy to hike up there. Actually my biggest fear would have been dehydration on the way up, that bare rock really blasts the heat back at you. Hope you are well. Cheers

[@christophergale9438]

Good morning Karl nice one again , stunning views over the Mekong. Think it would have been a hot hike 😅 as you said that road would have been slippery in the rain no good if you was in a Suzuki Swift 555 🍺

[@karlsthailand]

Glad you enjoyed it. Definitely not the place to go in a rental car lol. Cheers

[@sheckispillcus70]

Amazing cliff faces in Thailand. It’s as if they rose out of the ground millions of years ago. On another note…..I heard you talking about a video where you appeared on Nick Deans channel. You were saying it was really funny. Was wondering when that was. I wanted to watch & don’t remember seeing it on his channel. Been watching him since before Covid. Great adventure. Really do enjoy your content.

[@karlsthailand]

I did a few things with Nick a few years ago and we both made separate videos of each place we visited. Mine are still up, just go back through my videos and you will find them. The Khao Yai one is hilarious. Cheers

[@sheckispillcus70]

@@karlsthailand Thanks for the reply & look forward to your next video. Btw…..I heard you tell Paddy Doyle that you have visited every province in Thailand & was wondering if you have ever visited Koh Phayam? I was there in late 2021 & it seems to be one of the last islands that are available to the public but not over run with tourists.

[@Dutchy695]

Awesome cliff face Karl. I've been doing the same here in Australia exploring crazy escarpments but the night time entertained is of course way better in beautiful Thailand. 😍

[@karlsthailand]

Glad you enjoyed it as one fellow explorer to another. Cheers

[@bydeena]

สวยมากครับ.

[@karlsthailand]

ขอบคุณครับ

[@baldybrian]

Really remote that, Karl. The hike would be interesting. Isn't it strange that the local dogs love hiking with random strangers? Lol. Great views at the end, if you could camp up there, that would be awesome! . :)

[@karlsthailand]

It’s very exposed to the sun Brian….no escape. However you tackled it you would have to drink loads of water but yes, the views are amazing! Cheers

[@TonyHedges]

Great video as ever, Karl. I think I have been there before. It looks very familiar. If it is the place I have been it’s where I saw an Indian Nightjar on the ground. Keep up the good work man!

[@karlsthailand]

If you’ve been there you’ll certainly remember the journey there Tony. It could have been nearby Pha Taem you visited. They’re both pretty close to each other. Cheers

[@ianfitton272]

Hi Karl, beautiful place, I've been to the national park many times ( I live in Sisaket) . Usually stay in Kong Chiam for the night. Great vid, you guys looked a bit well done in the back of that pick up truck. 🥵🥵🥵 ( also your google map link takes you to Sisaket/Cambodian border near my home) cheers

[@karlsthailand]

Thanks for the warnings my about the link…I’ll change it. Must have been for my last video. Cheers

[@TrippyandDa]

Another great video Karl. We absolutely love Ubon, not much in Sisaket but thankfully Ubon is next door and a great place to explore. Another place on our list to visit 🙌🙌👏🏼👏🏼

[@karlsthailand]

Yes. It’s a beautiful part of the country and so seldom visited compared to some other places. Cheers

[@nigelchnzl5355]

It was a Great place to visit mate it was a grat time In Northeast Thailand with you and sam mate

[@karlsthailand]

I love the fact that you have to make some effort to get to Pha Sok Nigel. Yes, it was a great road trip buddy.

[@sergefranchois1701]

I wonder who tips you off and guides you to these extra-ordinary places 🙂 That cliff area had little to no human presence. Not a soul in sight. Just a little bit on the Lao side in the far distance. Excellent video and probably a lot of fun to create the content.

[@karlsthailand]

Cheers Serge. I do the research myself, being able to read Thai is often a big help and yes that one was very remote but people do visit it at weekends.

[@marcusbww]

Karl, I was there last week, was even going to message you about doing a video there. Great place.

[@karlsthailand]

Thanks for the thought Marcus. Was it busier when you visited? Cheers

This Nissan pickup is a regular model with big wheels on it. It's not even an off-road 4x4. Do I understand correctly? (((((Nice view))))

[@karlsthailand]

It was filmed just before the Rainy Season so perhaps they didn’t feel 4wd was necessary? It certainly would be at this time of year. Did you see the huge dent on the door? Tbh I’m just glad it wasn’t one of our cars taking that battering. Cheers

@@karlsthailand If you go in the rainy season, it will be much more difficult, but it will be compensated by more beautiful scenery. I like the atmosphere in the rainy season. / Thanks so much for sharing.^^

@chermarl5955 Yes. I wished we had seen it then tbh. That’s when most Thai people visit it. The journey up and down would have been more fun too lol.

You must have had a few bruises to show for that ride back....That dog had the right idea sheltering under the truck. You three were looking a bit roasted there.

And when you got on the back of the 4x4 the driver said to himself "stupid farangs" 😂😂😂😂but what beautiful views but that's Thailand for you its a beautiful country with honest straight talking Thais who will always look after the farangs and the stupid farangs as well😂😂😂😂

Yep. We were suckers for it that day alright. Cheers
