Blog 86 Bangkok Airport to Prachin Buri
18th December
So Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia and Singapore, here we go and ridden by myself on Yamaha's RT Wabash e-gravel bike. Thank you to Steve and everyoe at Raceways Motorcycles for supporting the daily blogs that will accompany the ride. In case you haven't been following so far may I by way of introduction suggest you have a peek at the below 4 min 32 sec film, it's bring you bang up to date.
The Ride So Far
So the journey across India had about it a particular flavour, worth going back a few blogs to see what I mean. There is no place like the Asian sub-continent; ie India anywhere else in the world that I know. Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Camboadia and Singapore make iup South East Asia and for the next 15 to 20 days this will be where we quest for adventure on the Wabash.
It'll be a slow start will I get my bearings, catch up a bit but this is latest 'bike portrait' taken yesterday in the setting sun. It's a bike that has given me some real adventures - and I haven't forgotten my motorbike riding, far from it, there are serious positives with bike riding over cycling, but if you're a smart thinker, there are very interesting ideas and aventures you can have with both vehicles.
My Bike in Thailand
No way, I couldn't find it
Meanwhile, I'm off to a nice and slow start, not sure how it's going to pan out. Arrived at Bangkok Airport 2am, slept on a bench, set off at 9am. Collected batteries and here we go....!
Map of the Day
kart bros is a strategic racing game that requires players to analyse the track and adjust their tactics after each burst of speed. Precision in the selection of racing lines and the planning of how to navigate obstacles are both required on each lap, in addition to speed.
I enjoyed your insights on the Bangkok to Prachin Buri journey! It made me reflect on travel’s unpredictability. Speaking of diversions, do you find browser games a good way to pass time during transit?
There’s a real charm to this kind of travel writing because it captures the messy, uncertain beginning of a journey rather than only the polished highlights. Being dropped into a new environment and having to read the situation as you go is one reason That's Not My Neighbor unexpectedly came to mind here.
Hi Nick, what a challenge, all the best and thank you for sharing your great adventure. Have a nice and peaceful christmas far away from home. Take care, we see us in 2024 again All the best Harald - Germany
