Along the west coast of Thailand I descend further south, towards the border with Malaysia. A short, heavy rain shower just in front of me wets the road, but I don't have to take shelter and a few kilometers further the sun is shining again. I have set the trip meter of the motorcycle on my departure…

Reluctantly I prepare the bike to leave this wonderful island. I even arrive late at the pier where the ferry departs. The mooring lines are released just in time, after which I am approached by a Dutch man. “You're not going to tell me that you're from the Netherlands…

The island of Koh Phangan is also called 'sticky island': once you're there you don't want to leave. And that is not surprising because it offers everything you expect from a paradise. White beaches with beautiful coral reefs in warm water for great snorkeling, beautiful nature with beautiful viewpoints and waterfalls,…

There is also a dive shop in the hotel where I am staying and of course I make grateful use of it. Fortunately I brought my diving certificate because there is some paperwork to be completed. I sign up for a day of diving at the popular Sail Rock thumbhole, a place where the harmless, huge…

I'm in Lampang because a BMW specialist, Tart Motorrad Cave, is here who will do the much needed maintenance on my bike. I already made the appointment from Cambodia a few weeks ago and had a set of new tires ordered, but I might have even reached the finish line in Kuala Lumpur on the current tires….

Vehicle insurance is mandatory in Thailand, but at the border with Laos I could not find an office anywhere to renew or renew my expired insurance. Strange because when I crossed the border in the south from Malaysia I was thrown to death along the road with it. Chang Rai has two streets…

I try to summarize every day, route or point of interest in a maximum of 10 photos. Not coincidentally also the maximum number in an Instagram message. Of course I take a lot more photos than that, sometimes I take many dozens of photos of an event, but that doesn't make anyone happy, not even me, so more than the…

I only have to drive 15 km to the Thai border so I can take it easy in the morning and that's a good thing because I notice from my solid sleep that the long driving days don't get me in my cold clothes. Around 10 am I knock at the border of Laos….
