👌👌👌👏👏👏
ถ้าเจอช้างป่าอย่าลงไปแบบนี้เด็ดขาด ถึงตาย😊
they dont have horses so used elephants in the same way
Loved the music for this one.
The elephants are wonderful, personally I think they're pleased. Most would have been rescued from logging, they live as long as us, so they'd remember.
We found them incredibly gentle with kids. It's their nature.
Going home and cooking bangas and mash will be super depressing after night food markets.
Grats to the pair of you for an incredible tour!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
Another great video guys, love the elephants
Even my old Honda Click (16 years old) has the sidestand safety cut out. These two bikes you have are the first I've seen in Thailand! Can't believe they are selling them without this feature.
My 2004 125 Honda Innova has a heal & toe gear shift , but the toe part is like a standard rubber coated shift so you can use your toe to flip up & down shift , without having to use the heel part . I can’t understand why Honda haven’t fitted them on the new Honda Supercub & CT models . Also you can use the foot shift , as a kind of clutch lever to ease in the gear shifts in a lot smoother , once you get the knack . There is a nut & slotted screw on the auto clutch side crank case cover , that’s the auto clutch adjuster . This often gets overlooked at service time , if not adjusted correctly , or drive chain not adjusted , it can make gear shifting harsh & not very pleasant . Enjoy the Elephants , they will remember you both , they never forget 👍
In India 600 prople a year killed by Elephant's, beautiful creatures but wild none the less, i grew up training horses, like anyother animal, healthy respect, building a relationship, and welfare all make for good results, then you get the other morons that just beat animals into submission
The Elephant place looked fantastic , How was the coffee 🤣🤣. Love it.
It would be great if you could create a custom google map link of where you’re riding. I know where this is, and saw the elephants as well, but not your previous videos.
Your videos are a real highlight to the day. 😊 Your appreciation of your experiences and concerns for the people and the animals is heartwarming. Happy travels!!
At 16:00, How many horses do you own? How many horses live within 20 mikes of your home? When people stopped riding horses, the horses were killed because nobody wanted to feed them. Elephants have huge appetites and they are uncontrollable if they are untrained. The human demand for elephant territory for farming is why Europe has no elephants or dangerous animals like bears.
Asians love elephants and do their best to care for them. Somebody has to pay, and a cup of coffee does not feed a herd of elephants. I admire the mahouts that devote their lives to an elephant and have the constant problem of feeding and caring for their elephant. Not to mention shovel duty.
Okay, this is close to where we live. From about 3 minutes on, you are riding past CMU Aggie and into the National Park. We ride that road a lot, including the zigzag down to the main road. The temple on the hill with the drone shots, we rode up there while it was still being built. It is a great view. As you read this you are probably over the hills and far away, but i hope you had a nice time. We love riding the small country roads out there.
I am not an elephant expert. However, i do know that elephant use in logging has been illegal since 1989. Apparently, this led to a bit of a "what do we do with these elephants" crisis. However, laws were enacted and refuge centers etc opened. One of the biggest recent problems was the lack of tourists during lockdown. No tourists meant much less money for the animal sanctuaries. Fortunately tourists are returning and hopefully spending their cash. As unbelievable as seeing elephants is, there is nothing like trying to ride you bike and avoiding elephant dung in the road. If i could tell that to my teenage self, i would not have believed it.
I think we are conditioned that we should be concerned about the welfare and treatment of certain species of animals. I would say that all animals deserve to be respected, speciesim is how I think best explains our disconnect, when knowing that eating an animal involves that animal or being reared with sole intention of exploiting it in someway. I don't think I am speaking out of turn. We are now aware of the cruelty that goes on around us. However, I am enjoying watching your channel. I do fast forward when you are eating meat. I am an annoying vegan to some, especially my work colleagues. You will have a shock when you return to the UK. It's cold and mostly wet or cloudy. It was supposed to be sunny today according to the weather forecast. I really hope you continue to enjoy your time in Thailand 🇹🇭. I am still riding Tigger he was repaired after an accident involving an uninsured driver who ran away. It has cost me £3,000 , but I am out when time permits. Take care and I am sure you open minded enough for a discussion involving animal welfare and their personal rights without being offended by my comments or feed back you asked for. Thank and stay safe
Really enjoy your vids! Hope to see you at the ABR festival this year!!
Brill content lalty. My cubs the same oppisite way yet sum in u.s are heal down to go up but now im used to it i prefer it. If your ever passing by derby you welcome tek mine out for a day or 2 mek a vid out it.
Regarding the sidestands, my earlier bikes had a rubber foot that extended past the sidestand foot that would ground first if the stand was down and you pulled off with the stand down and flipped it up, no molly coddling before sidestand switches.Man and machine.❤😮
there is a motorcycle travel cafe/pub in chaing mai called bikers corner you'd like the food
Hi ewe and rich well what can I say another fantastic video ! Wow them Elephants were amazing I can see the joy on ewe face ! Hope you both have a fantastic Christmas together ! And a good new year ! Thank you so much for all your effort in the videos they have been brilliant, looking forward to more ! Thank you 🙏
Geddon you two xx
That food market looks amazing! and who'd have thought good old jacket potatoes stay safe both of you
That was good fun. Happy trails guys
Keep on going filming like this. I enyoing it!
Wow amazing time with the Elephants.
And what a laugh with the Mahem with all the scooters all charging off all over the place. Like a race for people who have no sense of direction 😂. Complete Bonkers!!! Luvin it guys.
Absolutely loved the drone footage at the start, your love and care for animals is under no doubt. Thanks for bringing us along on your travels… it's been amazing!! Keep safe and happy Christmas to you both!!👍👍👍
Great vid again ❤
Yes that road looked fabulous. I agree with you about riding those elephants and yes, if they are well cared for, making money that goes towards that, is beneficial. Your cheesy spud looked delicious and I bet Eva’s coconut drink tasted wonderful! Thanks, another great vlog.
Great journey, well presented, I find all your films very informative and great to watch, I personally am a modern scooter rider, it was such a shame you had the old 125s, because if you had tried something like forza 125 or a 300ish size I think your experience of scooter travel would have been amazing rather than average experience, good luck future riding
Wow! Absolutely loved this episode! Merry Christmas guys! 👍👍
ช้างเป็นสัตว์ที่มีความผูกพันกับคนไทยมาตั้งแต่อดีต เพราะช่วยปกป้องประเทศ มีบทบาทสำคัญในสนามรบในอดีต พวกเค้าเป็นสัตว์ที่คนไทยรักและเคารพมาก
It beats taking your dog for a walk doesnt it?
I'm with you Rich. I had no desire to ride an elephant. I gave the place a healthy donation instead.
สวัสดีครับ😊❤🎉
