Hi guys, I am from Campbell River on Vancouver Island and loved your videos when you were stuck on the island last fall. I have just returned from my first visit to Thailand, and I fell in love with the culture the people and the country. I plan on returning..

I came to Thailand 17 years ago, I'm going back to Hawaii next week...[ I've been saying that for the last 17 years ] and somewhere along the way I got a Thai wife and a home... but I'm sure I'll be leaving next week 😋
พี่สาวของฉันอยู่อังกฤษ เขาบอกว่าปีนี้ เขาไม่ได้กลับไทย เพราะ ต้องทำงานหาเงิน ที่โน่น พอฉันดูคลิปคุณ รู้สึกคิดถึงพี่สาว เขาคงอยากกลับไทยมาเที่ยว ฉันขอให้คุณมีความสูข ในการท่องเที่ยวใน ไทย นะค่ะ ขับรถปลอดภัย ขอบคุณที่ นำเสนอ ประเทศไทยออกสู่สายตาชาวโลก ขอให้สนุกนะค่ะ
And about your surprise/disbelief to see cyclists on the road in such hot weather, it is actually not a serious issue for any Asian Cyclist as we are acclimatised and long as we are cycling, the on-coming wind,does cool us! Thank you for raising your cap as a salutation to our cyclists! Last year, i hosted a 19yrs old UK cyclist who cycled south from Thailand to Singapore and at one stage,he stopped over for 3 days in Kampar,( my residence).

Yep. I'm from Europe but have lived here 27 years so completely acclimated and have no problem cycling etc here. I can't help but snicker as I watch visiting farangs sweating buckets in Thailand even during the cooler months (except in higher elevations in northern Thailand, which can be very cool Dec through Feb; although these same areas tend to be beastly hot in March and April).

Tsunami, Khao Lak, washed up Thai navy patrol boat, it was the biggest event in recent times on the coast just north of Phuket, many people sadly lost their lives, many many resorts were totally destroyed, the patrols boat ended up several kms inland and now has been made into a memorial.

It's sweet potato, not potato. Sweet potatoes come in plain light yellowish, orange or purple colours/varieties.

sweet potato : Ipomoea batatas belong to convolvulaceae, the morning glory family, native to South America. Potato : Solanum tuberosum belong to solanaceae , the nightshade family, native to south America. Both are food staple but potato are more favorite with western world. Sweet potato are naturalised in Asia Far East wuth much more favorite than potato.but not the main staple. Rice and / or wheat , up to the region, are main staple.
What a great episode of your adventure, Marianne is such a good driver.

I've cycled in Thailand, It's ok when you're moving, but when you stop it's hot, and you need to drink a lot of water. I think it's worse walking in the centre of Bangkok than on a bike in the Thai countryside. Looks lovely! Nice to see you have found some fantastic stays!

@@TREADtheglobe In 2019, my wife, son and I spent 5 months cycle touring 5800km in Thailand and surrounding locales. I agree it's not so bad when you're moving, but riding slowly uphill is the most difficult. We are still loving your videos thank you for sharing. There is a link to my journal about that trip, and other pre youtube cycling adventures, in the "about" section of our KZread page.
Hi from Ontario Canada.My partner and I just got home from a 2 month holiday in Thailand. We stayed at the Farm Stay when you where there and was in the room beside you for a couple nights but never got the chance to meet you. Took a picture of your van so I could check out your videos. While we were traveling around the country noticed just like you that people driving never stayed in the marked lane. Beautiful country.

Welcome to Thailand 🇹🇭🙏😊 Drive safely and enjoy your time here. Please stop by at Hua Hin; a wonderful beach town. 😊
Hi guy's. I was surprised to see that you both hadn't exploded from all the treats you bought at the street fair. They did look yummy. It's so nice seeing other parts of the world. Safe travels.
Those little temple like shrines outside most places are "spirit shrines" for people who have passed away, they put offerings on them , usually coloured fanta type drinks and incense sticks, chumphon isn't the most picturesque town, but the coast and beaches around it are nice and quiet , i stay at a place called "38DeeSea" its at a place north of chumphon town called Saphli,.I love the beuty of some of the "off piste" stops en route, place to yourselves usually to, enjoy,...
Really enjoying your road trip and travel's in Thailand. Lived here 20 yrs but still lots places I've not visited yet. So nice seeing your pleasant experiences in Thailand. The "temples' you see outside people houses are actually not religious. They are "spirit houses" paying respect to the lands ancestors. You see them everywhere in Thailand, except in Muslims homes. You will see them in Bangkok too outside shopping mall and office buildings. I'm surprised you didn't pass through more military / police checkpoints so close to the Myanmar border. You will see many up north when you head to Chiang Mai. Looking forward to next weeks adventures. Hopefully Marianne, will be then ready for the crazy and mad Bangkok traffic !!

Hi both, what a great vlog, I'm really enjoying your journey. We have mutual friends in the UK, BG, and AG from Watford, who put me onto you. Those 'little houses' you see outside a lot (but not all) of Thai houses and buildings are called 'Spirit Houses'. You see them all over Thailand outside houses, apartment blocks, factories, companies, and government buildings amongst others. They are shrines and play the role of protecting the houses, dwellings, buildings, and land while providing a sense of security to the residents. People will replenish the offerings usually each day with fresh food and drinks. I live on the outskirts of Bangkok and you certainly have 'an experience' ahead of you when you get here! The motorbikes here are like angry wasps, zipping in and out of the traffic (when it moves that is!). It's bad enough driving a car here, I don't envy Marianne driving Trudy!

Hello, the potato balls you ate were like a donut. It is made of flour and stuffed with different types of flavors. The purple one was made of sweet potato and that is why they made it easy by calling it a potato ball. The sweet crunchy one is actually flour mixed with sugar and coconut milk. Enjoy Thailand and have a safe drive.

The ball made of sweet potato solely. Scraping cooked starch from the steamed potato, battering it and shaping into a ball then deep frying to get the finishing sweet. Translation of its Thai name is "quail or partridge egg".
I looked it up and Marianne you were eating a Thai Fried Purple Sweet Potato, they use tapioca starch, sugar, salt and coconut milk. Chris you had the yellow sweet potato. What a wonderful place to be traveling through. Take care now.
Poor Marianne driving with a stiff neck is horrible !! Your in the right country for a massage 👌 Land Rover and Union Flag def meant to be !! I can imagine the smells walking through that market were amazing 😋😋😋😋 Def lunch with a view 🤩🫶 Chris your gift of a flower 🌺 was so kind 🤣🤣🤣
I like you enjoy thailand street food . Hope you ‘re good food good trip and happy in thailand. When you ‘re in thailand keep smile to thai people and enjoy your like. It safe in this country .

Lovely to see your videos of your travels in Thailand. I spent many years in northeast Thailand and really miss the culture the people and the food. Stay safe and try and visit udon thani on the border with Laos. 🇬🇧❤️
There’s around 44,000 temples in Thailand and the small shrines you see in people’s gardens are called Spirit Houses out of respect for residents of the house who passed away, usually family members, often offerings of food and drinks are seen on the Spirit House.
bet the food was delicious .love to travel that way in motorhome
yes potatoe and sweet potatoe fried balls sugar and flour added to the mash potatoe style mix

I like having holidays in Hua Hin but for for me it involves driving around Bangkok. Last time I took a wrong turn and went into the centre of Bangkok. Couldn't find a way out so ended up asking a taxi to lead us to a toll booth. Never again. Had a great holiday on Koh Samet in December. A lot less stressful drive.
