today we leave Koh Samui this morning today we leave ko samui it's time it's time
last night i had dinner and said goodbye to all of my friends and this morning i
dropped off miss p at the airport and um it's been really sad ah jesus okay snap out of it
samui samui's been amazing and um i've made some friends for life and
and i'm gonna miss it a lot but it's time to get on the road
it's time to get on the road it's time to restart next level adventures there's a lot ahead of us
and a lot of unknowns and i'm a little bit worried a little bit scared but i'm also really really
happy to get back on the road and things are going to be fine i just need to get moving i need to get
on dreamy and get back into the thick of it so join me on the boat join me on the um ride north
i'll explain more on the ferry i'm going to finish packing up and we're going to get on the ferry
breathe okay enjoy the video
oh i'm such a a mixed bag of emotions guys because this is so final this really feels like
a one-way ride if you know what i mean i'll explain more in a
second let me figure out where to park this thing
wow
yeah because i uh by the way i'm the first person on the boat basically a couple other stuff anyway
um to get on to curse movie you need to have a vaccine i believe you need to be vaccinated and
um you know take a bunch of pcr tests and so i'm not vaccinated so once i get back to the mainland
i won't be able to like panic and say no this is the this is the wrong decision let's go back
um this is a final thing i won't be able to come back to samui probably until i do get vaccinated
which if you watch the last video was the reason why i'm leaving one of the reasons why i'm leaving
is it's nearly my time to get a vaccine but i'm registered in chiang mai which is 1 300 kilometers
north so obviously not a day's ride not two days right not even three or four days right on dreamy
we simply just you know 250 kilometers at a time so we're gonna go to the mainland and then we're
gonna head north and i'm going to aim for chimpan the northern part of trumpon province i want to
take you to what i think is actually and i'm not bullshitting you one of the best restaurants in
thailand it's amazing so look forward to that and then we'll wake up probably early tomorrow morning
and if the weather's good we'll just ride all day and we'll see how far we can get um at the end of
this video you'll know and i'll know how far we made it hopefully um as far as kanchaniburi by
the end of tomorrow if i'm in kanchanaburi or further come sunday i will be very happy yummy
let's be dance
okay we made it we're here at don sack in suratani back on the mainland
and listen i'm there's nothing going to be super exciting happening right now i've got
four or five hours of driving ahead of me through suritani and into champan province and i'm kind
of gonna i've only got about five or six hours of light so i don't have much time to mess about
so if you don't mind i'm not gonna be like flying my drone i'm not gonna be documenting the whole
drive i'm just going to be trying to get there today but don't worry the amazing hotel not hotel
the amazing restaurant my favorite restaurant in thailand is awaiting us after this mammoth drive
only 235 kilometers but on dreamy that's that's a long time see you in chimpon come cab
yes it was amazing to be back in the mainland back in the provinces but they didn't give me
the best welcome because immediately after getting off the ferry in the distance with these big black
rain clouds that were blowing this way and obviously i pulled over and just watched the
carnage unfold this time of year they have very local rain clouds so you'll be stuck in the rain
for only five ten minutes and it blows past but not the best situation when you try to cover three
to four hundred kilometers in a day but since they pass very quickly you can just wait them out in a
bus shelter or something keep going and then when the next one comes you just pull over into the
nearest shelter you can find way another 10-15 minutes and then just just keep plodding along
bollocks
that was a slog my ass cheeks have died i was like praying for those you know when you get to those
red lights in on the highways in thailand it's just so you can stand up squinch and
flex your butt cheeks that was five and a half hours solid driving and dreamy was an absolute
star however i've gotten to seoul and it's shut and i just bumped into a member of staff and they
said that they've been shut for three weeks and they're gonna stay closed for another couple of
weeks which is a shame that i don't get to show you this because the last time i was here as you
can see i parked dreamy in front of the sign here and um i had an incredible dinner with my friends
and my thai friends my thai family i call them and uh i really wanted to showcase you this because
it's a 100 year old old fishing house 100 years old made of wood and they converted it into a
art gallery with an amazing restaurant and it goes out into the sand and it's just incredible
that's a shame i hope this isn't a sign of things to come but we'll come back here soon
on the way down to phuket because once we finish all the provinces i've got this plan
that once we finish everything and we finish in bangkok and then everyone says yeah but what about
phuket what about bouquet you didn't go to phuket that said that's a province he didn't go there
we'll all drive together you and me all right i'll make a big trip and we'll
go from bangkok to phuket and we'll take a week or more and we'll do a big road trip
and we'll stop here and we'll have dinner here i promise he'll be part of the trip
good morning and me and dreamy actually are relatively well rested had an early night
i actually had set my alarm for five o'clock this morning but it was raining cats and dogs still
spitting a little bit we're gonna get straight on the road and um i was realizing yesterday
i don't really have a set plan and i don't like just driving without a plan so let's let me just
try and make a plan yeah i don't know how long you've been following along with the trip um but
these next level t-shirts the ones with the map on the back they're available in the description
good way to support the panel anyway um i don't know how long you've been following along since
you know since march when we went down to the south the deep south and all the way
up to as far as um ratchaburi actually i just realized i haven't colored in some song cram
sorry somewhat songkram and i did forget to call you in um tiny little province and when we went
there um we actually only had the floating market and then a little snoop around and then we drove
to kanchanaburi which is this huge big one here and i didn't color it in because even
though i spent a week there i actually didn't film anything and um i just wrote the ebook
for the southern part of thailand i did explore like a little bit of the town and i went to the
bridge over the river quiet every evening for a run but i didn't document it so um the issue is
i want to try and get to chiang mai obviously to get my vaccine i don't want to rush up there
you know i haven't had the email or the text message yet anyway and if you look there's so
many provinces in the in between you know where we had been and where we want to go
that i'm just trying to think what to do because kanchanaburi and the ones next to kanchanaburi to
the right are dark red provinces dark red meaning you know most restricted
most cases of kovid right now and so it's not the best place to be like walking around um exploring
without a vaccine having said that i've said this before in this channel the way i travel on dreamy
and you know like look at the yesterday i go on a ferry i drive on dreamy all day i
get to a restaurant i ate some food alone i come i come to a guest house i sleep alone um
it's kind of solitudinal it's very socially distancing so it's not really that dangerous
and you know when you see those maps of thailand dark red and red and orange whatever
you know that is so not the case obviously when i'm driving up the coast it's not dark red
it's bright green it's beautifully blue and white sandy beaches and just incredible scenery
you know the red and the dark red is such a like tactic to put fear in us i think but you know
having said that it's also important to let people know where the most covered infections are so i
get it but i i look at those provinces that are dark red and i think i might try and get past them
the only problem is we've got to go through all of practican pecha bury ratchaburi and kanchanaburi
and the one next to cancer library i'm sorry i don't know what it's called to get to the first
one this little circular one here that's called chai nat and that is a red zone not dark red
so we'll try and aim for that today so the plan is north until our ass just dies on us
and dreamy just can't hack it by the way i want to say dreamy nailed it yesterday
she was going 100 kilometers an hour the whole day on the highway the highway was really quiet
so with a full day's drive who knows how far we go anyway let's get on the road
i have to say every time i get on dreamy and i hit the roads and thailand just unfolds in front of me
i just get in the zone i just feel honestly the happiest i've ever felt just watching thailand
drift past you on dreamy is just it's incredible you know you just see the nature of the animals
people the monks walking on the side of the highway and the rain plodding along collecting
their arms and you just become at peace and daydream and so i just really use this time
to detach from samui and give myself a little bit of a mental reset i also stopped and pulled over
and got some new gloves because i've lost my own so that's good and i just to be honest i put my
head down and i got in the zone i listened to a podcast and i spent a lot of time just thinking
things over planning things and um just you know just just sorting stuff out my head anyway
you're never going to believe but we'll pick this up 10 hours later and guess where we ended up
lots of love i've got a lot of love for dreamy right now we just broke a personal record
we just drove six hundred and four kilometers from tongue lane beach and champon to some random place
in the province of chiang at we made it all the way to chiang chianat before dark i mean
the sun is sitting behind here it looks amazing and uh this little province this tiny little
tiny little thing in the middle of central thailand um driving in it looks really interesting
so we'll explore this in the next video so stay tuned for a really fun adventure tomorrow
or in the next video but for me i'll film that tomorrow after some rest that was long so after
like it's like half past five and we left at seven so full day like 10 hour drive right
um and i didn't stop other than to refuel ten times eat food about four times and drink lots
of water and uh it didn't rain too much it rained most of mostly in the morning and um
dreamy just absolutely dealt with it we went 100 kilometers the entire way just on the highway not
much traffic not much drama just open roads and some music in my ears and some incredible scenery
and i just can't believe how far we made it i got to kanchanaburi and i was like let's keep going
and then i was in supanburi and i was like let's keep going and so we've gone through all of the
dark red provinces the province chienat is just is just red at the moment so things should be
relatively safe again i'm just i'm just staying here i'm staying in this little blue house
behind me by myself and i'm gonna have a well-deserved beer and watch the football
because uh manchester united are playing newcastle and i'm a geordie i'm a newcastle fan and they
just signed ronaldo and i think he's gonna score like a thousand goals against us tonight i'm gonna
give dreamy a well-deserved break unpack a little bit rest up a lot and tomorrow and in
the next video we'll explore tianat and it looks beautiful i'll leave you with a drone shot it
looks beautiful tomorrow's video or the next video i should say it's going to be really nice i think
well done baby 600 kilometers in one day a bit of a mixed emotion video obviously i was emotional
leaving samuel and saying goodbye to my friends and miss p and it was kind of an end of an era
and uh it was a bit of a scary situation to be into believing something so perfect behind
and jumping back into the unknown and uh you know to be honest in the morning and yesterday
i i was still kind of my heart wasn't in the trip with dreamy i was still kind of in summery
mentally but i had a long long drive to detach and reset and i'm so excited to be back on the
road i've just noticed a really cool spider hello how are you doing see you in the next video and
enjoy chiang mai in the next one i'm tired bye i don't know what this is let's do this one
