Thanks

[@hervedelnorte7928]

It seems that you’re in retirement paradise. Beautiful surroundings, tropical plants and food and great value for your $$. Enjoy!

[@Biking360]

Thanks.

Superb as always, watching in Tak by the lake….enroute south

[@Biking360]

Nice :)

We talked before about what Americans pay for a bottle of water and you played that much to have your bottom bracket put back in working order. Amazing! This looks to be a great tour. ✌

[@Biking360]

Hey Tony. The price of rebuilding my bottom bracket even took me by surprise. I have never seen such a thorough job, and I've never seen some of the tools he used. $3 was an insanely cheap price. I hosted some around the world-touring cyclists for four days recently, via warmshowers.org, and they were staying in local temples most nights, camping for free, and usually getting free water and sometimes food! This makes touring and budgeting here an absolute dream if you are on a tight budget.

Nice ride in a beautiful area. So nice to see green foliage and sunshine. A master mechanic at work and affordable. Your "too close for comfort " videos have been very informative and food for thought. I have been reviewing laws here, and I hope others do the same. 🙂

[@Biking360]

Hey Richard. Thanks for the encouraging comments and thanks for all the support you have given me on the channel over the last few years. It means a lot. More close-call videos coming next week and a first as a viewer has sent in their own clip for analysis and commentary. Take care and as ever ride safely. Jay

[@bertski60]

great video, thnx a lot. looking fwd to more. calling for cooler temps next week...going to have to get out for a 3 or 4 day run somewhere.

[@Biking360]

Have a great trip and I hope you get that cooler weather. JP

[@wannagobiking9071]

That looked like a much better ride indeed😊 an hour worth of labour alone would set me back 50 euros these days lucky you..

[@Biking360]

Thanks, and I can assure you that I understand how lucky I am to have things so cheap here. I enjoy it, thank my lucky stars, and make the most of it!

[@WanderingEyeOutdoorAdventures]

The road at the 4:30 mark was nice. I can not get over the prices there! Cheers

[@Biking360]

I bet the price of less than $3 to clean and fix a bottom bracket is something you have never seen before eh?

[@WanderingEyeOutdoorAdventures]

@@Biking360 bike shops here wouldn't even service a BB like that, It would be a new one all day. Such a different mindset over there. It'd good to see. Cheers

[@Biking360]

@WanderingEyeOutdoorAdventures Getting a new BB fitted here is a last resort and cleaning/servicing them is very much the norm.

[@Brackers64]

Thanks for the update, it must be great to tour or live in Thailand. The cost of living seems very low. Maybe a topic for another video JP cost of living versus income and any possible downsides! Cheers Bob...

[@Biking360]

Good suggestion 👍

[@michaelroby6319]

You wanna see the price of a bottle of water in Switzerland 😂

[@Biking360]

I can only imagine these days!

[@Blueski888]

What’s your experience with dogs been like on this trip? Do you carry any pepper spray or anything like that?
