I used my time in Bangkok to get ready for the South of Thailand - which means, getting ready for hot, humid and rainy weather. With a topbox, waterproof bag, a lighter jacket and a hydropack, I should be able to handle the South of Thailand. I am ready to explore some Thai beaches :) Let's GO! Note: at 05:15 I am shouting something inaudible. If you turn on subtitles, you can read what I am saying!
I am now in the Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park and I found beach
Good morning Internet, it is 8.42 in the morning and welcome to my channel
I'm about to leave Bangkok now. I've been here the past two days
Running around from shop to shop
So I've been making a lot of improvements to my setup and my gear because the more south I go
The more rain I'll get and the more humid and hot it will be so I was really not prepared with that
So I'm hoping that with the improvements I made now, I'll be all set to ride in hot humid and wet weather
So, let me show you what I've done. I bought a
top box
And a waterproof bag which has a very nice system here with clip
So that means that it's a matter of seconds and I can take my bag off
Which is a massive improvements because before I was all the time struggling with these with these elastic straps and it was all
Was all not waterproof
So now I have a waterproof bag, which is easy to get off and on the bike. So I'm super happy with that
And then obviously the top box
Which can take a lot of stuff and is also waterproof
So this is something I'm really happy with and then I also made some improvements to my own clothing
So I am now wearing a short sleeved shirt, which is a lot better and it's thinner material
So that's great for the hot weather. Then I got a new jacket
which is from
Rapid and it's much lighter
than my previous jacket because in the black jacket, it was unbearable to ride in the heat
and this one has
This mesh here. So when I'm riding it's the wind is coming through and I tested it yesterday
And it was so much better than what I had before
so
That's my jacket done. This has a camel bag inside two liters of water can go inside and
By this tube which I can just
Take off like that. I can put it underneath my helmet and I can drink while I'm riding
So I also tested that yesterday and I love it. It's amazing and
This way I don't have to stop all the time. I don't have to struggle with bottles of water
I can carry two liters on my back and drink while riding
So I'm all set let's ride south
Now we go to Pratuap Kirikan
it's right up there but
Today, I am not climbing some hill and walking up a lot of steps. It is way too hot for that
So I'm just gonna keep on riding and get some air through my jacket because it is super hot
I think it's more than does this Carmen say
Yeah, it's more than 30 degrees
So today no climbing hills and taking steps to see a golden Buddha. I can see it from here
I'll show it to you
See, there it is golden Buddha
I'm gonna keep on riding
I'm now in the
Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park and
I found beach
This is my first beach
in Thailand
It's a stunning stunning place
And
That was today's ride. I now arrived in Pratuap Kirikan
