  • Today I will show you what happened that meant that Zelda and I were unable to cross the border from THAILAND into LAOS.
    Zelda is my Honda CT 125 Motorbike and we had planned to cross from the north of Chiang Rai province over into Laos and explore northern Laos. But as this video will detail, things didn't go to plan so I left Thailand and went somewhere completely outside of Asia itself.
    Enjoy the video!

    I don’t know if it is just me Paddy but I actually really like the way you document real life situations and show us that even the best laid out plans can come unstuck in an instant and you have to just be resourceful not disappointed because if you look hard enough you will discover that there are always different paths to reach your desired destination and as you yourself have mentioned many times that sometimes the journey is better than the final destination.
    Thank you for opening my eyes to the many stunning places I cannot visit these days due to my disability, although restrictions are not an issue to me these days because I always find a way eventually to overcome issues and it is all about proactively keeping positive.
    Keep doing exactly what you are doing as it is really entertaining and it has been so easy to engage and feel invested in all your good times and bad,
    I certainly appreciate all your hard work.
    Take care
    Richard 😊

      I agree, I had an uncle who lived and worked in Singapore in the 1960s, he brought me such exotic gifts like Chinese style satin pjammas, stationary that was different to any of my friends, I especially remember a pencil sharpener which was a beautiful painted tiger's head and a Chinese doll that had a face made of china. It began my fascination with all things Asian and later to exploring South East Asia

But what I will say is that if the Discovery Channel was as good as it used to be your show would be one of the best Productions they would have on there.

    Paddy, in just a matter of a year or so, you have become a master story teller. I loved this video so much. One of the reason I love it so much is that I am thinking about choosing an English town to work remote from next summer, and Newcastle is actually at the top of my list. After attending the Open Golf Championship last summer in St. Andrews, my train from Edinburgh to London stopped in Newcastle for all of 10 minutes, but I was so intrigued by what I saw out the window of the train. The town looked magical ! I would love to see more videos from your stay before you go back to Thailand. And Paddy, never ever apologize for any of your videos. They are, to borrow an old expression, "Must-See TV" ! 🙂

    @adamc4003 Před rokem +1

    Hey Paddy, you keep mentioning "drum" brakes. You should be made aware you have disc brakes front and rear on Zelda. You don't have drum brakes at all. The front disc brakes may have an ABS system to prevent lockup (this is just a feature of a normal disc brake system on some vehicles), but both your front and rear are still referred to as "disc brakes", or simply just brakes, because drum brakes are rarely used on anything anymore. Love the videos. Cheers!
