There is a lot of smoke in the air and on the way we pass many blackened fields and roadsides, but a little later also a fire. The smoke is so thick that we can't see each other driving for a while and immediately stings our eyes. On our route there is an elephant farm that we will of course visit. But unfortunately everything is there…

The 'resort' we stayed at does not offer breakfast, but does offer free coffee. With the large bunch of small bananas that we bought yesterday for 20 baht (€ 0.55) along the road and the coffee we were able to fill our bellies a bit. The first part of the route we cover today is quite boring….

We leave our pink bungalow to drive further to the north of Thailand. The first 60 of the more than 200 km go through Khao Yai National Park. The only road through the park is deserted. We pass several signs warning of crossing elephants and given the large piles of poo on the…

Driving away from Patteya is no fun. It is very busy and the traffic lights, which conveniently count down the time, are usually red for 60 or 90 seconds. Standing still with a 100-degree motorcycle between your legs and the sun on your helmet is no fun. The boring motorway brings some cooling, but also there…

The alarm clock ends a short night. But it was well worth the pleasant evening. Even a night out in this city is quite an experience. We booked a snorkeling excursion to Koh Larn Island off the coast of Pattaya. At 8:00 am we are standing in front of the…

After a long night of sleeping or catching up on sleep, we use the morning to search the internet for rental motorbikes for Pim and Rik. That is not easy because many companies only rent out scooters or do not have light motorcycles available for the 23 days that we want them. After many phone calls we have the only available motors net…

My alarm goes off at 5.45 because in a few hours I will pick up my sons, Pim and Rik, from the airport in Bangkok. The 26 km taxi ride flies by in half an hour and soon I'm on the 'Arrival' floor waiting for my 2 familiar faces. It's been almost 7 months…

It storms on the Thai coast. The wind pushes the water high up the beach with rough waves. The sun is shining, but with 27 degrees it is a cool day for Thai standards. No weather to lie on the beach and that gives me the opportunity to repair a broken motorcycle bag. Unfortunately, I get…

I drive through the narrowest part of Thailand, only 15 km wide, with the untravelable Myanmar on my left and the Gulf of Thailand on my right. My navigation always sends me to the main road that goes from south to north, but if I choose the option 'adventurous route' I still get beautiful roads!…

My website and socials have been updated, my freelance work assignment has been delivered and there is nothing else to do in the area around my holiday home, time to move on. Normally I book the next place to stay the night before I leave, but the place I found on Googlemaps doesn't answer the phone…
