Our Worst Fear Comes True 🇹🇭 (Driving Across Thailand)

- Our worst fear comes true as we get stranded somewhere between Surat Thani and Chumphon in Southern Thailand after our Suzuki 4X4 broke down on the busy highway. We had just left Koh Samui and our plan was to head to this amazing jungle villa in Chumphon but our truck, Rocket, had other ideas. We got lucky and unlucky and we'll share exactly how our day went in this new video. Thanks for watching and for coming along on this journey with us.

อย่ากลัวครับ ตราบใดคุณยังอยู่ในแผ่นดินไทย เราทุกคนพร้อมที่จะช่วยเหลือ ดูแล และเอาใจใส่คุณเต็มที่ ดุจดังคนในครอบครัว
ใช่ครับคนไทยก้ต้องช่วยคนไทยครับ
Thai hospitality, friendliness and problem solving at its finest.
FACT!❤🥰
คนไทยมีน้ำใจจริงๆครับ ทุกที่ ทุกเวลา หากเรามีปัญหาในการเดินทาง จะมีคนเข้ามาช่วยเหลือคุณเสมอ นี่คือน้ำใจของคนไทย ขอให้โชคดีในการเดินทางหลังจากนี้นะครับ
Another reason to love Thailand, the people are like this in every corner of the country. They are resourceful, skilled, open and genuinely ready to help anyone. You were right Note this video was immediately epic! A very example of why so many people from all over the world fall in love with Thailand. Safe journey! Behave yourself Rocket!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindest words.❤🙏🇹🇭
You're absolutely right! We've experienced this kindness many times before in Thailand over the years. I'm sure many people feel the same after visiting Thailand ❤
When I got a flat Tire in Udon Thani about 5 people come to help me. ❤❤❤❤ I so love Thailand and you guys. Be safe and can't wait to see more Thailand ❤❤❤❤❤.
Although we experience the Thai’s kindness before we are still flabbergasted when watching this video. The people of Thailand are what makes the country great! Safe travels on your journey and hopefully no more truck troubles 😊
Don't despair! This makes great real-life content! Lovely to see your interactions with the kind, friendly and helpful locals. That's one of the reasons why I love Thailand!
เพิ่งได้ชมคลิปนี้ของช่องเป็นครั้งแรก กดติดตามแล้ว เดี๋ยวจะย้อนชมคลิปอื่นๆที่ดูน่าสนใจทีเดียว..
(*คู่นี้น่ารักดี เป็นชาวฮ่องกงทั้งคู่หรือว่าลูกครึ่งลูกเสี้ยวไทยด้วย..พูดไทยชัดอ่านไทยเก่งเลย)
U have over lifted the car and tires are too oversize. All u need is a 2” lift and some taller wider tires. U’ve gone over the top with this build. Been there done that. All the weight will strain the axle, drive train, suck up gas and with that height, even a small lean might topple it…and u don’t want that to happen.
The angle of ascent decend on these Suzukis are already amazing. Hence the 2” lift is more than enuff. Maybe a more offset tries will make it safer
Forgive me to say but my friends please put smaller wheels on it. The rotating mass is too much stress on drive train. First gearbox then diff then wheels bearings .. Also will be so much more comfortable to drive. Best of luck guys 🙏🙌
ชีวิตมันไม่ได้โรยด้วยกลีบดอกกุหลาบเสมอไปครับ สู้สู้ครับ เป็นกำลังใจให้ทั้งคู่ครับ
เป็นเรื่องปกติของคนไทย ที่ชอบช่วยเหลือคนอื่น มันปลูกฝังมาตั้งแต่เด็กๆ มันทำให้ประเทศไทยน่าอยู่ยิ่งขึ้น ทักทายจากไทยแลนด์🇹🇭❤
the Thai people......never fail to amaze me.......every single time.......this turned out to be an epic video showing how kindness can affect others in a big big way...
Thank you for sharing the way you handled the rough spots along your journey. There's always a chance something like this will happen, and it's refreshing to see how you both stayed cheerful, hopeful and how the local Thai people all naturally helped. I love that! Memories are made this way!
We're embracing the Thai "sabai-sabai" mindset.. taking it easy since some things are out of our control :)
Thai hospitality is amazing!
Blessings to the mechanics who assisted you with the break down. Thai people are very helpful. I wish you both best of luck on your road trip. May the new year bring you both great joy and prosperity. Looking forward to watching the new road trip videos 😊
Thank you so much! We wish you a happy new year too!
Fantastic price for the repairs and everyone was very helpful flora I love your positivity you said if you didn’t break down you’d not have met the noodle lady that’s a great positive mindset 😊thank you guys for a great video
Just as we were getting hungry, the lady drove up with her mobile noodle shop! She was our angel at that moment haha
@@FloraandNote ตามหลักของพระพุทธศาสนา คุณทั้งสองคือคนที่เคยช่วยเหลือคนอื่นมาก่อนและทำความดีมาเยอะ เมื่อคุณมีปัญหายากลำบากจึงมีคนมาช่วยคุณให้พ้นความลำบากและหิวโหย นี่คือผลของกรรมดีที่คุณเคยทำไว้ตามหลักคำสอนของศาสนาพุทธ🎉
ดู CZcams ทั้ง 2 คนดูไปยิ้มไป ดีมากๆครับ การเดินทาง ไปท่องเที่ยวต่างๆถ้ามีอุบัติเหตุหรือ มีเหตุต้องเดินทางล่าช้าก็สามารถ เปลี่ยนแผน การเดินทางพักผ่อนให้เพียงพอแล้วก็เดินทางต่อไป ขอบคุณคุณโน๊ต และภรรยามากๆครับ วิธีทำ CZcams ท่องเที่ยวในเมืองไทย ขอให้เดินทางปลอดภัย มีความสุข ทุกอย่างครับ
ในความโชคร้าย มักมีความโชคดี
ขอให้สนุกและปลอดภัย คู่ที่น่ารัก
ขอบคุณครับ 😊
Great showcase of Thai hospitality. 🙏 Loving the content both.
The fun of traveling is that it never goes according to plan. Enjoy the trip.
Oh no, sad start, but wow, how amazing are the Thai people helping you out. Seriously under 100USD, and they were so nice.
Looking back, this might be a good part of the trip to remember how friendly the people were.
Lets hope the rest of the journey gets back on track.
i love thai hospitality..keep moving forward guys
Amazing Thailand 🇹🇭🙏🏼. All things happen for a reason, another great video ⭐️
ผมว่านี่คือสีสันและเป็นเรื่องราวการทำvlogที่น่าสนใจและน่าติดตามอย่างมากครับ เพราะเรื่องราวอุปสรรคในการเดินทางที่ทำให้เห็นถึงการใช้ชีวิตจริงมันทำให้คนดูอยากรู้และอยากติดตามบทสรุปในท้ายที่สุดที่ไม่เหมือนvlogอื่นๆ สู้ๆครับ💪✌️👍👏🙏🇹🇭😁
ถ้ารถไม่เสียผมก็ไม่ได้เห็นช่องที่ สนุกแบบนี้ครับเป็นโชคดี
We have all been there. Thai guys are great at this kind of thing and I'm glad you are back on the road.
It’s always nice to be back 😊
Totally. Also, I always wanted to say I love your content and video quality. I am a Sony guy and can see you go to the extra work to bring along a great mirrorless to make your video extra crisp, better colors and less noise in low light. I know how much more work that is and trust me, it's so worth it. Your video always looks amazing.@@FloraandNote
So sorry for your rough start ….but you both pulled through it! I’ll be in Thailand in two weeks. Yippie. Hope to have a ‘Rocket spotting’ while I’m there ….but hopefully ….not at a garage ;) Happy New Year guys. hugs from 🇨🇦
Flora’s Thai is so much better now wow. Almost no accent at all. Well done.
Much better luck to you guys for the whole adventure!
Thanks to Note speaking Thai more regularly with me now 😂
Such great guys helping out. All part of your adventure, safe travels.
This is all part of the adventure. Makes for interesting viewing, as long as you guys are safe. The car looks great, makes me think of what I must get this side.
Initial disappointment makes for great stories😊. Enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing and travel safe.
Even you cann't make it that day but i do believe there are many wonderful stories happen . Ps P'Note still remain Thai style when someone did something good we will bring something back to them . Thai people are lovely
ขอให้เดินทางปลอดภัย ผ่านพ้นอุปสรรคไปแล้ว ต่อไปนี้ก็จะเจอแต่ความโชคดีนะครับ
Love your spirit of positivity even in the face of Adversity 🙏🏽❤️
ได้คอนเทนต์ตั้งแต่เริ่มทริปเลยนะครับ รสชาติการเดินทาง😀
Lovely to see how you two concur the challenges of traveling and thank you for sharing your real emotions with us. This is why I love your videos. The amazing Thai people again proved to be amazingly friendly by just helping you to fix this.
Happy to know that Thai people are helpful through and through. Since you are doing a lot of driving on this new adventure I wold recommend a battery pack that can help kick start your battery and charge your electronic things, engine oil, flashlight, water and air compressor. A solar system would be great too. It would be nice to see content on camping with Rocket in Thailand. Happy adventures to you both… Aloha from Hawaii!
Thanks for the suggestion!
Thanks for sharing. I truly believe that there are more good than bad in this world.
Just a small hitch guys don't be downhearted it can happen to anyone.
The Thai people are ever so kind and helpful ❤
I just want to tell you that 'we've-been-there, done-that' on travel vehicle mayhem - 40 years ago in Japan and 30 years ago in remote BC, Canada. Many years later, those were the memorable trips. You guys handled situation calmly and you'd enjoy watching this clip many years later. Have a great remaining trip.
ชื่นชมทุกท่านที่เข้าช่วยนะครับ ยินดีต้อนรับสู่ประเทศไทย ขอให้เที่ยวให้สนุกครับ
เป็นคลิปที่ชีวิตพี่ๆแรนด้อมมากๆ แต่นั่นแหละมันทำให้คลิปนี้มีเสน่ห์ แม้จะมีเรื่องที่ต้องลำบาก แต่ก็ถูกบรรเทาด้วยน้ำใจของคนในพื้นที่ หนูชอบมากค่ะ รู้สึกมันมีความรู้สึกที่แตกต่างออกไปจากคลิปอื่นๆ ไม่ค่อยได้คอมเมนท์มากนัก แต่คลิปนี้รู้สึกดีจริงๆค่ะ ขอให้หลังจากนี้ทุกๆอย่างราบรื่นไม่เจอปัญหาใดๆเลยนะคะ 👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻☺️
You two are really great story tellers. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much!
Guess what, this is actually a great start to your journey (from a vlog perspective) 😂👍🏻 now we so much more invested 😉
Oh gosh, what a sad day ! Rocket is having some problems. Great that the locals are so helpful and finally everything is solved. Well, that's part of a road trip adventure. Thanks for sharing, Flora & Note. Wishing you both a happy, blessed and prosperous New Year 2024.
ดีที่ยังยิ้มได้ช่วงรถเสีย..ขอบคุณครับที่มองไทยมองโลกในแง่ดี
Luckily you're able to get Rocket fixed
Wow. Happy ending to that story. ❤😊
I love your sense of optimism. Great video!
Road trips are all about the journey and navigating the twists and turns in the road. Safe travels!!
เพราะเราทำดีเราก็จะเจอแต่คนดีๆค่ะ หนึ่งในคำอวยพรคือขอให้เจอแต่คนดีๆ
I've had my car break down on the side road many times. But I never had to ask for help from anyone. After a while, someone would come to park the car and help me own, even though I haven't asked from them for help yet.
So relieved to see you both finally back on the road. The bike mechanic got you the right contact as they didn't want to rip you off knowing your desperate situation. Hats off to thai people for being so kind. I admire your calmness note. You both are great couple, god bless you both.
What an adventure! Awwww..u guys always meet amazing n friendly people!
remember through misfortunes amazing adventures can be had with the meeting of new life long friends beautiful upload again
Great Journey ❤ sometimes there are teething problems, great that you can get Rocked fixed, Safe Travels. 🙏✌
Nice video....Thailand is my fav road trip destination - luv from Singapore.
Take care and good luck guys.
Initial disappointments make for great stories😊. Enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing and travel safe.
Glad everything is ok! Everything happens for a reason. Looking forward to your next video!
อิ่มใจ ❤❤
Dear Both, Welcome to Thailand. 😊
You guys so awesome I'm proud of you n'note and I'm surprise that Flora speaks Thai very fluent now 😊
Aawwwww, poor Rocket!! Great video, though, guys! Not everything in life is smooth sailing, so thank you for sharing ❤
It was a fun episode and a memorable one. 😍😍🙏🙏🍻🍻👍👍✔✔
Flora and Note Rocket was very upset that you were leaving the sun and he broke down. Loved seeing Flora’s eves pop while being towed and Notes hands holding the Steering wheel . Congrats you made it to the garage. Pork noodle soup yum. Hoped on a bike to get some cold drinks. Brought back outstanding memories seeing both of you on a bike again. WOW such a low price for 7 hrs of work. Everyone so nice and helpful. Absolutely Outstanding From Start To Finish
We feel Rocket, we also didn’t want to leave Samui 😂 but the show must go on…
Good episode! Good enough that I subscribed. In life, the road is not always paved and smooth. Good luck!!!!
Thanks for joining us on this journey!
All the best on your adventures and a Happy New Year!
Thank you! Happy New Year :)
A good start of your journey. Coz if it happen somewhere else it could have been worse.
Have a great trips na Krub guys.
I am glad to see everything was fixed rapidly!👍
I am from Montréal Canada, 🇨🇦 can you imagine how much it will have cost you here for the repairs?... Maybe more than 500$….!
It could have been worse than a mechanic problem!.... Theft.... Be careful.
I really love to follow your adventures every Saturday!
Drive safely and thank you for your videos!
Au revoir et bonne route! 🤗
It would have taken days and hundreds of dollars in Canada for sure 😅
เดินทางปลอดภัยนะครับ
You gotta love Thailand and the Thai's. Good luck with the trip and Happy New Year to Flora and Note.
Happy New Year to you too!
@@FloraandNoteคุณทั้งสองคนเก่งมาก พูดภาษาไทยคล่องแคล่วเหมือนคนไทยเลย❤
ผมดูในคลิป มาเสียที่ สี่แยกบางกุ้ง สุราษฎร์ โชคดี นะครับ ไม่ไกล้ร้านซ่อม
So sad to see but i m sure Rocket will get through this and be ok from now on.
I am eagerly waiting to follow your adventures.
Good luck,guys!
Let's hope Rocket wants to go to Chumphon with us this time 😂
Glad people helped
Flora and Note hope you both had a wonderful Christmas from America. You both have made great videos in all of 2023, and I enjoyed all of the videos. Happy New Year to the both of you. Hopefully in 2024 maybe you both will visit America for a series.
Happy New Year, Dominic! We always appreciate your comments support 😍
glad that both of u are safe & sound, naughty Rocket😅
Glad to know you both safe & good.
Thank you 🙏🏼
Nice video ....Everything will be fine ....All part of the van road adventure ...That's why its called Adventure ...🙂
พวกคุณน่ารักมาก คนไทยจะน่ารักกับนักท่องเที่ยวทุกคน ถ้าพวกคุณให้เกียรติ และไม่เหยียดวัฒนธรรม และขนบทำเนียบของพวกเรา
คุณจะได้รับการต้อนรับแบบอบอุ่นเสมอและทุกที่ ขอบคุณที่คุณมาเมืองไทย และเข้าใจในความเป็นคนไทย
My goodness, so sorry you guys had to start off your trip like this but I’m glad it was fixed within a day. I loved the kindness from the people in Thailand 🇹🇭 it showed in this video. Happy New Year and I am sending you all the best for this new adventure!
ขอให้เดินทางปลอดภัยครับ
ขอบคุณมากครับ😊🙏🏼
Take care and have a safe journey. 😃
Have a great day and just to let you know mini BigC is like a convenience store that sell drink and other stuff like 7-11 too. Just saw in 10:32 that you are looking for 7-11 to buy drink but pass it.
good thing you guys can speak and understand thai !!
It happens , as long as everyone’s ok. Stay safe !
Hey, that's part of the fun of your trip. Keep fighting friends!. Flora, your Thai accent is amazing.
Thank you! I've been practicing... my Thai is especially good when it comes to ordering food haha
@@FloraandNoteThat's the most important thing to use with the Thai language........LOL.
ชอบๆๆคลิปนี้ครับ..เดินทางปลอดภัยนะครับ
Thank you for watching 😊🙏🏼
That's somehow part and parcel of a road trip. Making it exciting, though stressful as well.
Thailand at its best. A very Interesting video
hope all goes well with road trip here on out
ขอให้มีความสุขตลอดการเดินทางนะ
ขอบคุณมากครับ 😊🙏🏼
Unexpected detour is part of the journey. Praying for your health and safety.
i like the video even though it was a little bit of a hiccup with the plans. It does capture interactions with the locals an how friendly they can be. Glad all turned out well in the end!
We've broken down on our motorbike many times over the years and every time we meet friendly locals who are willing to help. Thai people are so resourceful and kind!
Crazy how that repair cost under 100$ CAD. Here in Canada, they would charge you at least 5000$ CAD for the same repair.
Just an oil change alone would cost $100 in Canada 😅
I just come back from Kanchanaburi last Friday. About 1 week working in SKIC Wasalang plant.
Yeah the transmission was turning but the transfer case wasn't engaged, that part they welded on is what engages it.
We're glad it made sense to you! We're learning as we go haha
ขอให้สนุก
Unless u guys met the kindness people
ขอให้เดินทางปลอดภัย มีความสุขในการท่องเที่ยวครับ
ขอบคุณมากครับ 😊🙏🏼
