It takes a while for the men to get rid of their hangover. Fortunately, we are driving a nice road today and there is a lot to see along the way. During the first break I try again to contact the overnight address where we would like to go, but again without success. Rik books a nice alternative that he…

Today is the third day we drive south, crossing two National Parks. That sounds nice, we thought too, but in reality it is a boring 2-lane road with a lot of freight traffic. Then it is no fun with 37 degrees. Last night we already reserved the overnight address because we don't want to stay yet…

It's a lot of fun on the road again. To recover, we stop at a coffee shop that is made entirely of bamboo and offers a beautiful view of the Thai hills. We drink iced coffee several times a day to cool down and as a pick-me-up in the exhausting heat. After a few hours of wonderful steering, heading south…

Pai is the most northern place in Thailand that I have visited. From now on the journey, along the border with Myanmar, goes south again. It promises to be a beautiful route over mountains and through rainforests. Our next destination, Khun Yuam, is again accessible via only 1 road and it is…

After three days with many impressions in Chiang Mai, I feel like getting back on the bike. Especially because I know what awaits us: the only road from Chiang Mai to Pai is one of the most beautiful in the country. Perfect asphalt, hundreds of turns, climbs and descents through beautiful rainforests….

I'm already half awake and it's already light outside when I see a shadow walking past our bungalow. When I come outside I see that 3 omelettes and sachets of instant coffee have been set out on the terrace. So thoughtful! Together with the bananas from our own garden, a nice breakfast. When we leave the woman…

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…
