A Day Trip To Khao Yai National Park And Wang Nam Kieaw

[samsiam]

Maybe give up riding bikes if that major incident incited you to put up a youtube vid about an 'idiot' vigo driver...

I hope you do not ride during midday with your high beam on.

In case you didn't notice that was just one little clip out of a bunch that I took on our little outing yesterday.

Don't worry, plenty more to come!

In all seriousness though, I think it's a good thing for people who may be new to riding in Thailand to be aware of the special challenges that await you on the roads here.

Rule #1 for all bikers: Expect the unexpected

Happy Trails!

[samsiam]

yes....good advice.

I might add to take along a box of tissues also.

As promised- another clip from yesterday's ride

No tissues required unless this kind of thing gets you off...

Thanks for all the pics & videos

You folks have a great area to ride....Nice & twisty

One of the videos in the National Park has quite a few cyclist peddling along too

Thanks enjoyed it.

Ride On!

thanks

Is it just me that think the standard smileys at the bottom are crap!!!! you have to show all just to get a smiley face..

[skybluestu]

and thats the chop, not the steak...the chop has a big bone.

Tony was being sarcastic, as we did order the chop but ended up with the steak..... Luckily for the shop the chop tasted ok

the bill came to about 1000 Baht for 5 people- not bad IMO

Cough, cough... 1200B

Surely i'm owed a discount on the Arrow now?? hehehe

Just import one yourself, I did a few months ago and was just over 10,000baht including postage and import duty.

Agreed the new smiley layout sucks, but you can post smilies without going to the smiley menu.

etc

My other pet peeves with this new forum are the inability to insert videos other than YouTube and all the mismatched quotes error messages...:/

This is the "high plains" area of Khao Yai National Park- where they have viewing towers and put out salt to attract the animals. Only animals we saw on this ride were the ubiquitous monkeys and the super tame deer that hang around the visitor center.

LOL, that bloke at the end of the video, how could he not HEAR your bike pulling into the car park, seriously?

I agree...noise polluting bloody things

[necronx99]

Nice, but whoever belongs to the cute chicky should buy her some boots.......

I speak from some experience.

Yeah, that was a little weird... Most folks can hear the Gixxer coming from miles away, but I guess that dude was a little hard of hearing or totally spaced out

She wanted to show off her matching Kawasaki Candy Lime Green toenails!

If it's too loud, you're too old

Should mix nicely with the eventual red and white to make a sweet Italia homage to the Duc.

[samsiam]

Not at all...I hear your noise pollutants a lot around here...we live in peace and quiet and you pollute it....that simple.

And you wonder why you did not see any animals in the park...we see them all the time.

Actually it's pretty fun to scatter the monkeys with a loud bike

I hear ya mate- I'm a believer in ATGATT and seeing people ride in innappropriate footwear always makes me cringe.

But at the end of the day, she's a grown woman and it's up to her if she wants to take that risk...

Fair enough, Tell her I was lucky, I woke up in Phuket hospital just in time to hear the Doc tell the nurses she was going to cut off all my toes... (actually really nice once I disabused her of that notion)

I was ATGATT too, but I was on holidays and it was hot. and I was only going over the hill..

So you're saying these a-----s go a bit further than 5k....bully for them....perhaps they should not if a vigo scares the crapper out of them.

That is a pretty cool camera setup

Would also be cool if you could face it backwards

& film the guys riding behind you from a frontal view
