THIS is why you HAVE to come to Ride in Thailand

[@chrishills5127]

Thank god you two entertain me every day thanks guys!! UK

[@ontheroadadventure]

We do our best bud! Are you still riding through winter?

[@chrishills5127]

@ yes im down in south Spain until may 👍🏻

[@DaveDytor-z4w]

Rich you really crack me up 😂😂😂 that Snake in the road 😂😂 it’s great to see that it’s all natural reactions to things that happen on your travels 👍🏼 And I’m with you Ewa on the food situation!!! It does look very nice, but understand your reluctance after what you both went through 🤢 thanks for keeping us all entertained guys ❤️

[@Roger_Rademakers_1971]

I really enjoy your adventure ! Keep rolling on !

[@CAVANHOLDEN-lh2tm]

another belting video, you guys are so watchable and should be on commission by the Thailand Tourist Board

[@ontheroadadventure]

Thanks so much! We wish they would sponsor us! 😂

[@rockinrodlittle]

7/11 should sponsor your channel. Thanks again for taking us along to the ride. The opening shot with the drone is spectacular btw

[@ontheroadadventure]

Thank you bud, much appreciated

[@MotoTourIreland]

Excellent video. That elephant roundabout was impressive.

[@ontheroadadventure]

There’s always so much to see here, and you never know what you’re going to get either!

[@Zola57]

When you finally get back home to dreary UK you will be wishing you were back in Thailand m8. I am very envious of your journey plus you have an awesome partner who enjoys and supports you every way. You wouldn't get a English woman that supportive. You pair are a great advertisement for tourist to visit Thailand. Stay safe-Be well.

[@ApatheticNonbuynary]

10:52 that is the usual mosquito eradication unit. They gone out to smoke an entire village with those from time to time. I'm living in a countryside of Isan and they do this, usually in the Rainy season. Didn't know they do this in the North in this time of year too.

[@ontheroadadventure]

Oh interesting, so they blow it inside the homes too?

[@ApatheticNonbuynary]

@ontheroadadventure it can be arranged.

[@Merthyr-Dave]

What lovely roads you travelled today and the scenery there is fantastic, what a lovely place you have picked. We i liked in madeira, it didn't rain very much, sunny most days,now in Wales, rain everyday 😢

[@ontheroadadventure]

If the uk didn’t have such bad weather it would be the best place in the world! Such a shame

[@davidwills6477]

Another good video people. I'm sooo looking forward to my trip at the end of January. Don't think I'm going north though. But anywhere I'll be going will be an adventure 🤩

[@ontheroadadventure]

This is the best way to look at it. Don’t over plan, just go ride 👍

[@teneretraveller8980]

Enjoying rain?! It's time to come home! Ride safe 👍

[@ontheroadadventure]

Haha I’m sure it will be there waiting for us in the uk 😂

[@bjorkrocker5237]

There's one thing tourists from all over the world don't know. Thailand has many national parks. And Thai people like to go riding motorcycles or camping. Im Thai rider. Welcome you both.

[@ontheroadadventure]

We love to look for national parks on Google maps to ride through whenever we are touring, we love to take the small roads everywhere 👍

[@jfc213]

great stuff guys thanks

[@ontheroadadventure]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Blueoffroader]

If not already mentioned the burning is using a swingfog to fumigate space normally done first thing in a morning. Enjoying your ride, tnx

[@ontheroadadventure]

To get rid of mosquito apparently

[@stepheneldridge6998]

Excellent video guys, this trip has been fab!. Thailand 🇹🇭 is a great place to ride and explore! Cheers Steve

[@ontheroadadventure]

It sure is, mind blowing every day here

[@johnnythefox9830]

Another great episode! 👍👍

[@ontheroadadventure]

Thanks again!

[@FabulousWanderers]

Totally Awesome content U 2, fabulous drone shots 🌟🌟✨✨🧡🧡😀👍

[@ontheroadadventure]

Thank you so much, glad you enjoy it with us

[@FabulousWanderers]

@ontheroadadventure 🌟🌟✨🧡

[@cbrider726]

That smoke was for mozzies . They do the same in Africa . They sometimes do it at night without warning lol not cool. Great stream again .Drone work was great . I am seriously thinking of buying the Honda great little bike . Ride safe love ya both keep them coming 👍👍👍❤

[@ontheroadadventure]

Wow imagine them coming at night! Like a horror movie! Glad there’s a solution though I know the mozzies can be a real problem

[@craigpalmer347]

Great this Trip thanks for sharing Ride Safe 🤞🏻🫡🫡👍

[@ontheroadadventure]

Cheers Craig, it’s something very different for us! Coming back to the uk will be a shock to the system!

[@eugeneteo9664]

great comparison .

[@ontheroadadventure]

Thank you ☺️

[@sandrader2889]

I was reading about the bad air quality, since Ewa said that in one of the first videos and I was surprised. Thought how can that be in a country full of nature, but in all seems to be coming from all the fires you saw along the roads, so there must be a lot of those.

[@gryphongryph]

Yes, a big problem, especially in the central/north where the farmers are burning the land/old crop, many westerners living in those areas go south in the burning season as the pollution is severe.

[@ontheroadadventure]

Yes it was often enough to make us cough and it’s not even burning season here

[@ontheroadadventure]

Allot comes from burning in Burma too apparently

[@cliff1551]

20:32 heard the cricket who was winning lol 👋🤠👍

[@dazfromnz01]

Crickets !! Open your ears 😂😂

[@cliff1551]

​@@dazfromnz01I was having a laugh ,do you no what that is .

[@richcolgate8929]

Excellent vlog guys,,, gives me a grin to see you both happy and griinning,,, get ya head round those,gears,ya numpty lol 😂👍

[@ontheroadadventure]

Haha I’m forever forgetting the upside down gear box!

[@richcolgate8929]

@ it would do my head in too lol I bet ya choice of words on every gear change is interesting 🤣

[@dcijams]

(6:00) AND THE STOP SIGN'S LOOK JUST LIKE OURS? (RICH, YES THAT WAS A STOPSIGN.)

[@ontheroadadventure]

Well spotted

[@andrewpreiss3923]

Yep, I saw that as well and thought “oh no” 😂

[@dazzaoutandabout4870]

Cant wait til you ride Australia. We'll show you snakes! I reckon the word your looking for when explaining your ride on the little bike is casual. Not fast and gives you enough comfort to take in the views. Ride safe.

[@ontheroadadventure]

Casual travellers sums us up nicely 👌

[@batotofhell]

The roads there look so good in Thailand, twisty and dry! Much better than we have right now

[@ontheroadadventure]

Yes we are very lucky right now

[@PeterLittlehales]

They need to do a 250cc version of these bikes . Love the videos and watch every one

[@ontheroadadventure]

That would be very cool! I think there’s a 160cc kit for the Honda available

[@kamolhengkiatisak1527]

If you see the truck turns on the turn left light on the narrow road, it means to signal vehicles behind can pass. The truck driver knows that it is slow and it is double lines and dangerous as you could not see the road ahead. This is a kind gesture in Thailand and I think most of the world as well. Fumigation is to get rid of mosquitoes, carrier of diseases.

[@ontheroadadventure]

We guessed that with the truck lights, we just don’t have the power to pass safely without seeing the road ahead. Do they spray all that smoke inside the house to get rid of mosquitoes? They must have a severe problem there to do that?

[@rockinrodlittle]

In Kenya, a lot of drivers did that. Problem was, it wasn’t common practice so the turn signal was a moot point. You had to pass on your own judgement

[@bryangrange3880]

If you think finding gears on those bikes are hard , try riding your Africa twins then get on an old British bike where the gear change is on the right and rear brake on the left then get back on the Africa twins🥴😜 I set you this challenge rich when your back in the uk 👍 great episode again 😍hope the movie on the plane home isn't snakes on a plane 🪱🪱😂

[@ontheroadadventure]

I will have to see if sammy miller will loan me one to try on 😉

[@Mark-m8c5u]

My wife is Thai and she thinks they are killing some kind of insect with the smoke We were in Thailand in November and we bought a Honda wave 125 and it cost us 60,000 bhat on the road we were two up on it for about four weeks with me 15 stone and my wife 13 stone what an amazing bike. You do need a driving licence in Thailand love the program Mark and Nil

[@gryphongryph]

Probably mosquito

[@ontheroadadventure]

You can see why the Thai people love the Honda wave. Cheap and effective 👍

[@ontheroadadventure]

Seems like it

[@PaulMower]

Looks like a 250/400 would be the best bike for those roads. Nimble but a bit more power.

[@ontheroadadventure]

I think that’s fair to say, any more power and you’d get yourself in trouble fast!

[@cabovermike]

My translator says (The farm is in its fragrant) that smoking house could be to rid it of termites or dengue mozzies ,. At least people in thailand are motorcycle aware, half the bike riders out there don’t have a license either, especially the kids, in the villages e.bikes are quite popular,. And it’s nice to have attendant serving fuel at the garages, with a car you usually get given a free big bottle of water when buying fuel,. Cheers.

[@ontheroadadventure]

Yes we noticed they gave them water when filling up, such a nice gesture.

[@QueenFlora-b5w]

Next year drive the big motorbikes or the big scooters the Yamaha is very thirsty

[@ontheroadadventure]

Don’t worry we will be back on our own bikes very soon

[@stefanjonsson70]

The fires are a real big problem. A lot of the bad air quality comes from that. A real shame. What they did there I really don’t know but sometimes the smoke out pesticides. Imported wine in Thailand is expensive because of the high taxation. The local produced wine is not much to have for us westerners. My mouth is dripping when I see you eat minced pork with basil and egg. My favorite dish in Thailand and the name in thai is kind “pad krapaow moo zap kai dao” 😍

[@ontheroadadventure]

Apparently it’s smoking out the mosquitos

[@jockrocker666]

Sounds like the yam and race shift..... 🤣🤣👍👍

[@ontheroadadventure]

Yes, I never remember either!

[@scottdiver36]

Rich & Ewa its to get rid of mosquitos

[@ontheroadadventure]

Makes sense, glad it works for them

[@GertjanZwiggelaar-mo4tz]

Thanks, guys. Another awesome ride in Thailand. I have to laugh each time you talk about snakes. I guess you have snakaphobia. Perhaps on an upcoming video why not show us your audio and film making equipment. I really like how you two go back and forth so seamlessly. You two have it figured out. Excellent drone footage again. Ride safe. Love you. Bye from Alberta where it is minus 18 atm with lots of snow.

[@ontheroadadventure]

-18!! I don’t fancy that much! We don’t get snakes in the uk so I guess it’s normal to be extra weary of them

They fattening those dogs up for Christmas 😂

[@ontheroadadventure]

Nooo not the poor doggos 🐶

[@bryangrange3880]

Was the Elephant roundabout where all the trunk roads meet 🤣🤣

[@ontheroadadventure]

I resisted that joke!

[@Channel11Original]

No snakes here in Dublin. Thanks St. Patrick! ( few politicians knocking about though…)

[@ontheroadadventure]

A fantastic reason to come and moto camp in Ireland! If only it didn’t rain always

[@stevedavies-pp7dp]

Whilst I was in the military in hot places we would often ( two or three times a week) have a guy who would do ‘swing fog’ as we called it … no idea who employed him or what the chemicals used were exactly but he spent his life wandering around the place swinging the fog in every building and sure enough insects fell to the ground more or less instantly

[@ontheroadadventure]

We need one of those for our motocamping tours!

[@davidrogers3875]

Your accommodation at the beginning is similar to what we call workers cottages. They are dirt cheap and often used by construction workers.

[@ontheroadadventure]

It’s plenty good enough for us, at this price too we are very happy to spend the night here 👍

[@BibTheBoulderTheOriginalOne]

I watch you both enjoying the sunshine from the windswept, rain-lashed Cairngorms. I tell myself I'm not jealous.....but we all know it's a lie....I'm jealous as sin....

[@ontheroadadventure]

Get yourself on a plane Bib, the rain will still be waiting for you when your back

[@BibTheBoulderTheOriginalOne]

@@ontheroadadventure It's snowing here now...🤣

[@cliff1551]

19:32 hey hey we're the monkeys, we're just here walking around,, lol hi guys how are you doing,

[@ontheroadadventure]

We’re just monkeying around

[@SteveJohn-w9q]

They burn leaves and general brush ups in order to disperse the mosquitoes from their properties

[@ontheroadadventure]

Any idea what the smoke being blown in the house was for?

[@SteveJohn-w9q]

@ Maybe for the same reason. Get rid of the mosquitoes. 🦟 I’m only talking from experience in the Philippines. Reckon it’s pretty much the same in Thailand.

[@SteveJohn-w9q]

Just realised what you meant. That was a house getting fumigated for termite infestation no doubt

[@scottdiver36]

Rich so they allow drones ?

[@ontheroadadventure]

There’s lots of rules here on drones and you’ll need insurance for it here too.

[@scottdiver36]

@@ontheroadadventurethey seem to let you fly them though

[@paulreynolds2898]

[@ontheroadadventure]

Hey bud 👋

[@davidrogers3875]

I wish I had a bigger bike so I could ride faster. You have to ride slower to enjoy the view. Which one is it?

[@ontheroadadventure]

Ah now there’s a difference between having more power and riding fast. Our 1100 Africa twins are powerful but not fast for example. Power and torque is needed for keeping momentum, ease of use and indeed to have confidence for over takes and getting out the way of danger. The go slow see more approach is about taking the small roads through villages and exploring. So many like to get a big touring bike and do 500 miles in a day, crossing countries but seeing none of it. We ourselves have learnt this mistake

[@SombatC-x4p]

Smoke to destroy the mosquito Because Someone get sick from mosquito

[@ontheroadadventure]

Oh wow they must have a big problem with them there then. Glad there’s a solution

[@jimpayne6798]

Not suprised you're a bit wary of some food. Deli Belli is not nice. That old bike had a rigid back end with a well sprung saddle and girder forks. Probably relic from WW2. Not sure if it's the same now, but at one time all young men had to spend time as a monk. Eva misses the UK, will be sad when this tour finishes. But your missing shit weather here.

[@ontheroadadventure]

Yeah I think we both miss the uk a bit, the food and of course our own bikes! But you know us, never sit still long

[@gjqhryndgkyokploirby]

A Thai licence is very easy to get and is rudimentary in machine control and road safety. Failing that you can buy a licence or just don't bother at all. I'm sure you've seen many underage children riding bikes on the road. Road safety, what's that !

[@ontheroadadventure]

Yeah we love that so many ride bikes but it would be great to see a bit more training or at least a sense of self preservation

[@QueenFlora-b5w]

He is burning evidence a toerist was walking around his property

[@ontheroadadventure]

Fair enough then 😂

[@stevenedwards772]

Mosquitoes

[@ontheroadadventure]

Thanks ☺️
