Explore the evolving landscape of Chiang Mai in 2026! In today’s vlog, we’re touching down in Sansai to check out the newly opened Meta Moore mall and the legendary Rimping supermarket. We also hunt for progress on the massive Boeing 747 Airplane —is it finally ready for takeoff?
From the high-rise recovery near Central Festival to the outdoor gym at Decathlon, we’re covering the city's best spots. For the bikers, I’m visiting Chang Moto to scope out high-end Alpine Stars and Arai gear, comparing it to the local parts shops near the train station.
As the "burning season" approaches, I’m sharing my honest predictions for tourism this year and why the unique "magic" of Chiang Mai keeps it ahead of spots like Da Nang. Stick around for a look at the trendy Minimal Coffee scene and a stroll through the updated railway park.

![Lucille Finally Gave Up… 1 Hour From the End [Thailand]
The final leg of my northern Thailand motorcycle road trip takes a dramatic turn as I ride from Chiang Rai back to Chiang Mai through heavy rain, mountain roads, and miserable conditions. Taking the longer Phayao route to avoid roadworks, I’m eventually faced with a serious problem—my bike, Lucille, starts overheating in the middle of nowhere.
With 60+ km still to go, I crawl along the hard shoulder, hoping the engine survives. Thankfully, I make it back to Chiang Mai, where a local mechanic replaces the damaged cooling and other parts. After a second repair for a rear-wheel issue, Lucille is finally running like new.
This Thailand motorcycle adventure ends with a mix of relief, lessons learned, and a big question: is it time for Lucille to retire from long-distance road trips?
Join me for rainy-season riding, mountain roads, bike trouble, and the final chapter of this northern Thailand adventure.
