Join me on Day 1 of my Northern Thailand road trip as I ride from Chiang Mai to the peaceful lakeside town of Phayao during the rainy season! Surprisingly, the weather is perfect, making for an incredible motorcycle journey through some of Northern Thailand’s most scenic roads. Along the way, I stop at the famous hot springs, explore an abandoned unfinished attraction, and share why my new Pirelli tyres have transformed the ride. Once in Phayao, I check back into my favourite budget bungalow hotel, stroll around the quiet town, enjoy stunning views of Kwan Phayao Lake, and hunt down the legendary durian ice cream. From local markets and hidden cafés to relaxed street scenes and honest travel tips, this episode showcases a side of Thailand many visitors miss. If you love motorcycle adventures, Thailand travel, hidden gems, and authentic local experiences, this series is for you.
