Our Worst Fear Comes True 🇹🇭 (Driving Across Thailand)

[@FarEastGolfer]

Thai hospitality, friendliness and problem solving at its finest.

[@jomontanee]

FACT!❤🥰

[@johngagne986]

Another reason to love Thailand, the people are like this in every corner of the country. They are resourceful, skilled, open and genuinely ready to help anyone. You were right Note this video was immediately epic! A very example of why so many people from all over the world fall in love with Thailand. Safe journey! Behave yourself Rocket!

[@jomontanee]

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindest words.❤🙏🇹🇭

[@FloraandNote]

You're absolutely right! We've experienced this kindness many times before in Thailand over the years. I'm sure many people feel the same after visiting Thailand ❤

[@NarakonJanthong-mr6er]

อย่ากลัวครับ ตราบใดคุณยังอยู่ในแผ่นดินไทย เราทุกคนพร้อมที่จะช่วยเหลือ ดูแล และเอาใจใส่คุณเต็มที่ ดุจดังคนในครอบครัว

[@nirinnanakonpanom1403]

ใช่ครับคนไทยก้ต้องช่วยคนไทยครับ

[@PairatNamprasert]

คนไทยมีน้ำใจจริงๆครับ ทุกที่ ทุกเวลา หากเรามีปัญหาในการเดินทาง จะมีคนเข้ามาช่วยเหลือคุณเสมอ นี่คือน้ำใจของคนไทย ขอให้โชคดีในการเดินทางหลังจากนี้นะครับ

[@coryudon3350]

When I got a flat Tire in Udon Thani about 5 people come to help me. ❤❤❤❤ I so love Thailand and you guys. Be safe and can't wait to see more Thailand ❤❤❤❤❤.

[@pierrenguyen8035]

Although we experience the Thai’s kindness before we are still flabbergasted when watching this video. The people of Thailand are what makes the country great! Safe travels on your journey and hopefully no more truck troubles 😊

[@yewbtang1848]

Don't despair! This makes great real-life content! Lovely to see your interactions with the kind, friendly and helpful locals. That's one of the reasons why I love Thailand!

[@allblacks4729]

the Thai people......never fail to amaze me.......every single time.......this turned out to be an epic video showing how kindness can affect others in a big big way...

[@soimike]

Thai hospitality is amazing!

[@tawinkeawkom6055]

ชีวิตมันไม่ได้โรยด้วยกลีบดอกกุหลาบเสมอไปครับ สู้สู้ครับ เป็นกำลังใจให้ทั้งคู่ครับ

[@ErikBlair]

Thank you for sharing the way you handled the rough spots along your journey. There's always a chance something like this will happen, and it's refreshing to see how you both stayed cheerful, hopeful and how the local Thai people all naturally helped. I love that! Memories are made this way!

[@FloraandNote]

We're embracing the Thai "sabai-sabai" mindset.. taking it easy since some things are out of our control :)

[@Kuy-pong-tay]

เป็นเรื่องปกติของคนไทย ที่ชอบช่วยเหลือคนอื่น มันปลูกฝังมาตั้งแต่เด็กๆ มันทำให้ประเทศไทยน่าอยู่ยิ่งขึ้น ทักทายจากไทยแลนด์🇹🇭❤

[@benni88sri]

เพิ่งได้ชมคลิปนี้ของช่องเป็นครั้งแรก กดติดตามแล้ว เดี๋ยวจะย้อนชมคลิปอื่นๆที่ดูน่าสนใจทีเดียว.. (*คู่นี้น่ารักดี เป็นชาวฮ่องกงทั้งคู่หรือว่าลูกครึ่งลูกเสี้ยวไทยด้วย..พูดไทยชัดอ่านไทยเก่งเลย)

[@tariqkamil7853]

U have over lifted the car and tires are too oversize. All u need is a 2” lift and some taller wider tires. U’ve gone over the top with this build. Been there done that. All the weight will strain the axle, drive train, suck up gas and with that height, even a small lean might topple it…and u don’t want that to happen. The angle of ascent decend on these Suzukis are already amazing. Hence the 2” lift is more than enuff. Maybe a more offset tries will make it safer

[@margarettownsley9500]

Fantastic price for the repairs and everyone was very helpful flora I love your positivity you said if you didn’t break down you’d not have met the noodle lady that’s a great positive mindset 😊thank you guys for a great video

[@FloraandNote]

Just as we were getting hungry, the lady drove up with her mobile noodle shop! She was our angel at that moment haha

[@ปภัคศนัณฑ์]

​@@FloraandNote ตามหลักของพระพุทธศาสนา คุณทั้งสองคือคนที่เคยช่วยเหลือคนอื่นมาก่อนและทำความดีมาเยอะ เมื่อคุณมีปัญหายากลำบากจึงมีคนมาช่วยคุณให้พ้นความลำบากและหิวโหย นี่คือผลของกรรมดีที่คุณเคยทำไว้ตามหลักคำสอนของศาสนาพุทธ🎉

Forgive me to say but my friends please put smaller wheels on it. The rotating mass is too much stress on drive train. First gearbox then diff then wheels bearings .. Also will be so much more comfortable to drive. Best of luck guys 🙏🙌

[@marclesperance1709]

Blessings to the mechanics who assisted you with the break down. Thai people are very helpful. I wish you both best of luck on your road trip. May the new year bring you both great joy and prosperity. Looking forward to watching the new road trip videos 😊

[@FloraandNote]

Thank you so much! We wish you a happy new year too!

[@Garpot]

Great showcase of Thai hospitality. 🙏 Loving the content both.

[@zerocirca]

i love thai hospitality..keep moving forward guys

[@aaronjohnmulkey]

I appreciate how you are both patient with each other despite running into challenges with Rocket! You make the most of the situation and support each other through the challenges! Thank you for sharing!

[@christopherlaw9184]

Amazing Thailand 🇹🇭🙏🏼. All things happen for a reason, another great video ⭐️

[@yuppywjt2525]

The fun of traveling is that it never goes according to plan. Enjoy the trip.

[@TheThaiLife]

We have all been there. Thai guys are great at this kind of thing and I'm glad you are back on the road.

[@FloraandNote]

It’s always nice to be back 😊

[@TheThaiLife]

Totally. Also, I always wanted to say I love your content and video quality. I am a Sony guy and can see you go to the extra work to bring along a great mirrorless to make your video extra crisp, better colors and less noise in low light. I know how much more work that is and trust me, it's so worth it. Your video always looks amazing.@@FloraandNote

[@messex-australia9700]

Such great guys helping out. All part of your adventure, safe travels.

[@NamaskarShanti]

So sorry for your rough start ….but you both pulled through it! I’ll be in Thailand in two weeks. Yippie. Hope to have a ‘Rocket spotting’ while I’m there ….but hopefully ….not at a garage ;) Happy New Year guys. hugs from 🇨🇦

[@themasterflexG]

Flora’s Thai is so much better now wow. Almost no accent at all. Well done. Much better luck to you guys for the whole adventure!

[@FloraandNote]

Thanks to Note speaking Thai more regularly with me now 😂

[@cheakytoday]

This is all part of the adventure. Makes for interesting viewing, as long as you guys are safe. The car looks great, makes me think of what I must get this side.

[@davko777]

Initial disappointment makes for great stories😊. Enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing and travel safe.

[@ปริมพัฒน์จารุสิงห์ธนิส]

ในความโชคร้าย มักมีความโชคดี ขอให้สนุกและปลอดภัย คู่ที่น่ารัก

[@FloraandNote]

ขอบคุณครับ 😊

[@IanChav]

Oh no, sad start, but wow, how amazing are the Thai people helping you out. Seriously under 100USD, and they were so nice. Looking back, this might be a good part of the trip to remember how friendly the people were. Lets hope the rest of the journey gets back on track.

[@kennytoekimin5490]

Lovely to see how you two concur the challenges of traveling and thank you for sharing your real emotions with us. This is why I love your videos. The amazing Thai people again proved to be amazingly friendly by just helping you to fix this.

[@knguncle3]

Thanks for sharing. I truly believe that there are more good than bad in this world.

[@jeya2809]

So relieved to see you both finally back on the road. The bike mechanic got you the right contact as they didn't want to rip you off knowing your desperate situation. Hats off to thai people for being so kind. I admire your calmness note. You both are great couple, god bless you both.

[@dawnkamwongsa1729]

ชื่นชมทุกท่านที่เข้าช่วยนะครับ ยินดีต้อนรับสู่ประเทศไทย ขอให้เที่ยวให้สนุกครับ

[@therichtersvacationlog6411]

You two are really great story tellers. Keep up the good work!

[@FloraandNote]

Thank you so much!

[@Markevans63]

Love your spirit of positivity even in the face of Adversity 🙏🏽❤️

[@yukjeanlee1]

Just a small hitch guys don't be downhearted it can happen to anyone. The Thai people are ever so kind and helpful ❤

[@tamamaigo]

I just want to tell you that 'we've-been-there, done-that' on travel vehicle mayhem - 40 years ago in Japan and 30 years ago in remote BC, Canada. Many years later, those were the memorable trips. You guys handled situation calmly and you'd enjoy watching this clip many years later. Have a great remaining trip.

[@chaw294]

Oh gosh, what a sad day ! Rocket is having some problems. Great that the locals are so helpful and finally everything is solved. Well, that's part of a road trip adventure. Thanks for sharing, Flora & Note. Wishing you both a happy, blessed and prosperous New Year 2024.

[@chuthadhavaj]

I've had my car break down on the side road many times. But I never had to ask for help from anyone. After a while, someone would come to park the car and help me own, even though I haven't asked from them for help yet.

Have a great day and just to let you know mini BigC is like a convenience store that sell drink and other stuff like 7-11 too. Just saw in 10:32 that you are looking for 7-11 to buy drink but pass it.

[@sithbk0075]

Happy to know that Thai people are helpful through and through. Since you are doing a lot of driving on this new adventure I wold recommend a battery pack that can help kick start your battery and charge your electronic things, engine oil, flashlight, water and air compressor. A solar system would be great too. It would be nice to see content on camping with Rocket in Thailand. Happy adventures to you both… Aloha from Hawaii!

[@FloraandNote]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@Van_Wilder]

Guess what, this is actually a great start to your journey (from a vlog perspective) 😂👍🏻 now we so much more invested 😉

ขอให้เดินทางปลอดภัย ผ่านพ้นอุปสรรคไปแล้ว ต่อไปนี้ก็จะเจอแต่ความโชคดีนะครับ

[@robertjavior4339]

Yeah the transmission was turning but the transfer case wasn't engaged, that part they welded on is what engages it.

[@FloraandNote]

We're glad it made sense to you! We're learning as we go haha

Flora and Note Rocket was very upset that you were leaving the sun and he broke down. Loved seeing Flora’s eves pop while being towed and Notes hands holding the Steering wheel . Congrats you made it to the garage. Pork noodle soup yum. Hoped on a bike to get some cold drinks. Brought back outstanding memories seeing both of you on a bike again. WOW such a low price for 7 hrs of work. Everyone so nice and helpful. Absolutely Outstanding From Start To Finish

The lift and tires are over the top for long distance driving. It’s okay only if you carry on a trailer for a day out off roading with your mates.
