Thai people is very friendly with traveller , this is really softpower of Thais. Hope both of you discover more lovely people and Have a safe trip along Thailand.

I love your roadside clips. I always pause the video to get a better look or read the signs. Thailand is so rich in man-made as well as natural imagery and you guys do a fabulous job of conveying it on film.

Beautiful country! Another great episode of your journey.

It just occurred to me...after following you since you were involved with the turtle refuge, I don't think I have ever seen either of you go for a swim at any of the beautiful beaches you've been to. Not water people? These beaches and the inns you stayed at in this particular video are just incredible. The hosts are so welcoming and genuine, it is lovely to see.

I actually enjoyed driving in Thailand compared to UK. Once you get used to traffic patterns and and different thing to watch out for hordes of motorcycles esp ones coming up on your left. Cars undertaking on the left mad truck drivers it was great. Lot of positives eg generally well maintained road . Soft or hard shoulders on most roads (unlike UK with hardly any) Left turns on red light at most junctions unless prohibited) No ULEZ zones. No nasty car parks issuing hefty fines for slight infringements. Petrol stations that serve you. Downside is often very long waits at traffic lights at busy junctions esp when traffic police interfere with the lights. Many of the back roads we used in Kanchanaburi Suphanburi and Chai Nat wre an absolute delight to drive along.

Very happy to see your clip , Thank from my heart for loving my country

Welcome to Thailand guys. The way you express your pleasure at being here is marvelous. What a great couple too. Thailand will enjoy having you here. All the best from a Londoner in Hua Hin

I've lived on Phuket for the past three decades, and I've still not discovered all it's hidden gems. Believe me, your whistle stop visit deprived you of what the island really has to offer.

I just follow you this clip,I’m Thai who live in Phuket 40 years. On your way you came from Koh Lanta to PK,I saw something beside the road that you call “Sugarcane” that’s not,That ‘s “Kaolarm”(ข้าวหลาม). Next time you should try it’s so lovely to eat. Local Thai food and dessert too,because that’s sticky rice with little bit coconut milk and black bean mixed inside bamboo.After burn by fire to made sticky rice inside,you can eat Thai tradition food by easy and so delicious.

Mention of Khao Lam is making me hungry. Used to love it. Sugar cane is generally grown in Kanchanburi and Suphanburi. different parts of Thailand have different specialities. Just wish I could taste one of those juicy incredible pineapples from Prachuabkirikhani. Taste is out of this world. Som O from Chai Nat Lay Yai from Chiangmain. Kno? (Rambuttan) from the south . But mangoes in season (excellent ones in Kanchanburi where we lived) with sticky rice and coconut milk is what I miss the most. Thailand is a fruit lovers paradise.

Thailand, the land of smiles, is without doubt paradise on earth I love the country, the people, the culture absolutely amazing place.

Mimosa pudica (pudica Latin for 'shy, bashful, shrinking'); also called sensitive plant, sleepy plant, action plant, touch-me-not, or shameplant, is a creeping annual or perennial flowering plant of the pea/legume family Fabaceae. It is often grown for its curiosity value: the sensitive compound leaves fold inward and droop when touched or shaken and re-open a few minutes later. - from Wikipedia

Good leg, so refreshing to travel with you!

Wow, saw the journey of you guys in thailand. The roads in Thailand are nice and wide with beautiful nature on the side of the road. But many people say that Thai people like to drive fast and dangerously, must use caution. Travel safely, always follow. Can't wait for the next ep...

Brings back a lot of memories as we lived in Thailand for 30 years. Note the general condition of the roads compared with the UK. Most (but not all) provinces in Thailand maintain their highways really well. Our province Kanchanaburi was really good and constantly trying to out do the one next to it (going north) Suphanburi that had a reputation of having the best highway system in Thailand. I was amused at the pronunciation of place names but to be fair they are not easy esp as transliteration into English (with Thai having 5 tone plus short and long vowels) is not easy. For the record the word for Island transliterated as Kho is a hard k with a short o and high tone. Think of saying got without the t at the end. But hey the boots on the other foot having now retired to Cornwall. Even after 6 years I still struggle with a lot of these Cornish place names! But the Thai people are generally so friendly and helpful and are getting used to mispronunciation of place names..and NOT making fun of you either. Did you ever have any run ins with Thai police? I have some hilarious stories of my experiences over the yeara.

It was great to meet you at this point of your journey! Sending love!

Your tempting me now to go to Thailand. I haven't been to Bangkok, yet. I've rode to Phuket twice from Malaysia. Phuket for now is my favourite place in Thailand. Your right about the countryside view. Those limestone hills ( at least I think so). They begin in Ipoh, Malaysia and I saw all the way to Phuket, dotting the landscape as far as the eye can see especially the one in Krabi. Absolutely stunning views. I will never forget those sights. That small leaves you touched that closes up, is called pokok semalu in Malay. Don't know what it's called in English. Pokok means tree, semalu means shy.

JFYI, in English it's more commonly known as the sensitive plant or touch-me-not plant, Mimosa pudica is a tropical shrub that closes its leaves when touched. The plant is native to Central and South America and features delicate, fern-like leaves with light purple pom-pom-shaped flowers. It's part of the legume family Fabaceae.

@repaid1

Yes technically it is from a grass family, but then politically in many countries where large tropical bamboo species occur natively, bamboos are legally considered to be trees and thus fall under the strict regulations of their forest department. So "tree bridge" could be correct as well. The more ya know! 😋

A very good morning from London 🎉👍

If you enjoy scenic roads surrounded by beautiful landscapes, I recommend the Mae Hong Son Loop in the northern region of Thailand.

Thank you for sharing! Thailand has changed so much since I visited 30 years ago. There were hardly any mosques, and Phuket was a small beach town. I miss the beautiful, friendly Thai people. It's time to go back. ❤

I am so excited about this episode…waiting for it like my final exam results ☺️☺️

I just returned from Thailand. I went to Bangkok and Chiang Rai in the north. We hired a car and drive around all over the place up in Chiang Rai and the mountains and Doi Tung and the lovely gardens. It’s fun driving in Thailand and dodging the motorbikes!

Expat here and the Ice here is perfectly safe. Your daughter will have a great time. Thailand is generally a very safe country but just take the normal safety precautions you would anywhere to be doubly sure. But one word of advice Don't rent a motorbike! It may seem a great cool idea but Thai roads are extremely dangerous (60 deaths a day!!!!) Seen it all too often where inexperienced riders get a scooter/ motorbike and end up in hospital or even worse! Hope your daughter has a great trip. 😎

The plants that close up are called "touch-me-not." Well, at least that's what we've been taught since we were kids (in Malaysia). They grow wild and are all over the place.

If you happen to reach Chiang Mai, do the elephant bush camp there. It's simply stunning. You can stay in air con tents there if they're available.
