      Perhaps a new motorcycle trip out there to try and setup some scheme to take it away from the riverbeds prior to monsoon.

    Amazing!! What a wonderful way to spend 22 minutes! Really nice photography and editing!! I visited the country about 15 years ago. Great to see how unspoiled it still looks.

    I love my country. I am from Kalay(originally from Tedim Township). Now in Texas. I love motorcycle and I currently have WR250R. There are some really cool mountains in Tedim township and I don't think that any foreigners has been there yet even many near by areas local people. I want to create some motorcycle routes in Tedim Township to some cool places when the country is stable.
    Thanks for the video!

      @@MrAdam-kp3en hopefully it will change and then we can do a motorbike trip! I hope the people will not be tainted by war. When I was there the people were then most friendly I have ever encountered... and I’ve travelled quite a lot!

    Thanks for shooting this video and posting it. Apparently, it has been on CZcams for quite awhile, but I'd just found it. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and it has intensified my nostalgia for going on a motor bike tour via Chin State like you did. I left Burma(Myanmar) since I was a young teenager, and I've dreamt of going on a motor bike tour across Chin State. I've ridden across Baja California and have plans to ride across Patagonia. I've ridden on Strada della Forra in Northern Italy and on the backroads from Innertkirchen to Hospental in the Swiss Alps, yet I haven't been on a motor bike tour across Chin State in Myanmar. What a shame! If you haven't ridden your motor bike in those places that I mentioned, I'd like to recommend that you put them on your bucket list. Those places are breathtakingly beautiful. I live in Nor-Cal. Are you from UK, SA, NZ or AUS? Pardon my ignorance on people's accent. There were 3 of you in the video. Lucky bunch! Where are you going next? Wherever your next tour takes you, have fun!

      Hey.. thanks for the comments. Two were UK and one half UK and half US :)
      Such an amazing country. The most beautiful people I’ve ever met.

      @@ChasingContours Once more! But sad to see some of my people being left behind on the world's stage for being under educated and lack of resources. At least, the land and the rivers are unspoiled as you mentioned in the video. Hopefully, the govt will soon realize that they need to get their people get educated. I'm going stop here before political comments got written down; otherwise, I won't be able to go on my motorbike tour without getting into trouble. Thanks for the reply anyway. Best regards!
