*Warning* The video starts with some gross snake guts that explode all over Jenny and her bike.
We cycled up the coast of the Gulf of Thailand, finding small roads along the beach as much as we could. Even the smaller towns we visited had bustling markets and fantastic food, and there was plenty of wonderful biking in this laid-back part of Thailand.
In this episode we cycled through the provinces of Chumphon, Prachuap Khiri Khan, Phetchaburi, Ratchaburi, and Kanchanaburi.

Nice nostalgic music in villages, quite in the mood of your videos 🙂
My dream trip next year along the coast. I've got the route mapped out in my garmin. I cycled from Chiang Mai to Bangkok 5 years ago and dream of going back. Thanks for letting me cycle through your videos. cheers I also interested in the route you choose to cycle to Chiang Mai. thanks again for posting
I was riding on narrow roads in the Scottish countryside yesterday and met a large truck on a bend, he moved over to the verge and I got splattered with mud, I think mud is much nicer than snake guts though 😂What a beautiful ride, shame about all the dogs though!
Wow!….You covered a lot of ground. The ever present soi dogs are definitely a menace, but they seem to lose energy as the day progresses…perhaps it's the heat. Thanks for the great video!
hi, I follow ur jerney,. i like if u have more video of how u interact with local,.language,.culture,.n so on,.tq sir
You don't seem to camp anymore in Asia Where do you mostly sleep?
So good to see you two ! Eagerly awaiting the next chapter!
How good to see you again!
I noticed the yummy street food, noodles & vegetables. I will have travel there one day, on the beach path, and check it out!
OMG, watch out for those dogs; they probably don't have the vaccinations that N. Am. dogs have.
That place is beautiful & serene which is our next country… Thank you for the nice video
👍
it amazes me the way you find your way around
Thanks for the video. Keep an eye on the air quality in central and nortthern Thailand. It has been the worst in the world due to forrest fires and agricultural field burning. Be safe!
What did you use to find your route you took thru the backroads and all?
555 ;-))
Beware the 🐕 when you riding in Thailand.
Respect to all world cycling riders. I have toured from Kuala Lumpur to Mae Sai and all around Thailand and I have seen touring cyclist along the way. Cycling riders are fantastic people, determine and resourceful. Hats off.
I cycle locally in NE Issan, dogs love to chase strangers, I carry a little squeezy bottle of white vinegar on my handle bars, works a treat, and is cheap. Yes the temple dogs are worse. One thing with Thai dogs they are controlled with sticks by the locals from very young, even if you raise your arm in a threatening manner they will back off.
Wished you've got a safe and fun riding in Thailand.
Another lovely video. Thank you!
it's really fun, friends, cycling for a very long time with the surrounding natural scenery that heals our tiredness when pedaling the bicycle stay connected
i live (and ride) in thailand, but i don't ride to the extent you guys do…just been on a couple 4 day rides.
seen my share of dogs (bit once…3 punctures) but have never been blasted by snake guts. if it happens to you again, quickly go buy some lottery tickets.
great channel…thnx a lot.
Thank you for sharing the videos of the cycling adventure, especially within the South East Asia region.
The videos bring the sight and sound of the places, almost as good as if I am there myself ( as many of us could not be)
Stay safe and enjoy the journey 👍👍👍
Poor little snek
Wow you inspire me , I will do the same , was little afraid to ride by myself but I will do it eventually
Great video !! I rode those same roads along the Gulf of Thailand, and it was one of the best cycling routes I ever rode. Hardly any traffic, and some parts you are basically riding along the beach. Very cool. This video brought back all those good memories, thanks for sharing !
