They Said It Was Dangerous In These Areas Of Bangkok

- Опубликовано: 3 окт 2024
- This is an area of Bangkok that most people do not get to see or visit as there is an inherent amount of danger. I would guess that most Bangkok tourists are too scared to come here, or just don't know these areas exist. I love the peaceful and serene nature of places like this. Today I take you on an afternoon, point of view, motorbike adventure to some areas that are simply unknown to most tourists. Even many local Thai people either don't know these exist, or just never visit these areas. Getting lost in these back alley pathways is something I really enjoy doing. Join me as I explore these lesser known areas by motorbike for the first time. We will uncover some awesome hidden pathways and local communities that very few people know about, and even less go to explore. Did I mention that I did this on one of the hottest days? It's time for another afternoon POV motorbike excursion in Thailand.

I took a day with my wife to explore The Lung on bicycles - navigating those raised sidewalks was NOT easy. You managed quite nicely!
The green lung is a great place for a bicycle ride, love that place. Yah it’s definitely more sketchy on a motorbike. Ha ha
Hi Serg..you have become a.local now. Adapted.very.well. Thank you for your patience. Good stuff.
This is the kind of stuff I have always loved. I’ll leave the tourist place to the rest of the folks. Glad you enjoyed this.
Another incredible 🏍 day on a hot day....l didn't know there's so many bike driving range across swampy area around River Chaopraya 😀..with so many newly built roads, Google map couldn't keep it up dated...very nice we get lost sometimes, anxiety will rise and Serg will take us out of this lost in horizon...very exciting indeed...thanks Serg for showing us around this part of the journey & back to civilisation safely 🎉😂😅
A lot of these pathways are on Google maps, but as you saw me getting lost, the app isn’t always correct. So a lot of it is just trial and error. Loved exploring out here, glad you enjoyed watching it.
WHOA!! Riding around on that thing is so scary! Fun to watch though. Thanks for sharing!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks for watching!
love your videos! Really inspiring to me to make sure when I come over my mid-life crisis year that I get out and about and explore some random bits and bobs, not just the main drags ❤😊
Yes! You can absolutely do it. There’s no reason why you can’t start now. I wish you the best of luck in your video creation, journey!
That was a great video Serg. Getting to see an area of Bangkok that most will never see on video let alone visit. Good job!
Thanks! 😃 new motorbike trip starts today. 😊
That was so scary but fun to watch!! Thanks for sharing!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Serg, your content just keeps knocking it out of the park. Keep up the good work!
On a side note, I just arrived in Bangkok. Unfortunately I’m heading out on Tuesday for other parts of Thailand. If you’re free can I meet up with you and buy you a beer? Let me know if it’s possible.
Keep the videos coming. Your channel and content was in part a motivational component to make me decide to plan a trip here.
Cheers!
I’m actually out of three week motorbike trip to the south of Thailand right now. I hope you have a wonderful time here. Thank you so much for your kind words and your support.
Hi Serg
Loved the video! Especially the too hot counter😂
Happy Songkran
Happy Songkran!
Very pro move rotating the bike on the side stand. Also, great video. Very fun to see you riding around and always finding interesting places.
That area was narrower than it looked, so I didn’t have much choice. The side stand trick is really handy!
@@LifewithSerg I didn't know that one either. I am going to practice it tomorrow on my bike. Great video man!
Another interesting vlog Serg and yes that was close 🙂
To be honest, it’s a lot narrower than it looks. The white angle lens on the 360° camera tends to warp things a little bit. But 100% worth it.
Finally, you ride like Thai people ride now,
Wellcome to the team Bro!
Cheer!
Ha ha ha. Thanks.
nice ride, love it :)
Thank you 👍
Great urban riding, Serg! I’m digging the 360 videos and noticed you went with the ONE RS 1 inch ($$$). The quality shows and it’s appreciated you went to that extent to bring your followers some great content. Don’t burst into flames out there in the midday sun!
Yep, I’ve had this camera for about six months. It works really well, but the amount of extra time to edit. The 360 footage is a bit of a headache to edit. That’s why you don’t see me using it often. However, I like giving you guys a different perspective, so I will use it from time to time.
Yup the camera is insanely good.
Serg the Swedish spring weather seems quite nice after watching how hot it seems over there haha
Did I mention it was hot?? 😂🤣
Even though there was a few dead ends 🤬 it was great to see the pathways along the klongs.👌what great scenery and you found a way out in the end 👏😂 . Well done rotating the bike and keeping it on those narrow paths 🫣. Riding on BKK streets your a pro now 👏Great vlog Serg
Yeah, it might be hard to tell from the video, but the place where I had to use the site stand was just too narrow for me to turn around. Those pathways are usually quite narrow. I’m glad you enjoyed this episode, I really had a ton of fun taking my bike on those.
😎👍🇺🇲
Side stand pivot is a useful skill.
I can even do it with my biggest bikes. Although I prefer to stick with the lighter bikes with that maneuver.
Cheers from the PNW Seattle WA area.✌️
It sure does come in handy! Hopefully you’re in for some sunny weather soon
I really enjoyed with this adventure. Well done. 👍
Thank you Paweena!
Bkk's chaotic charm traffic~🤩
Love it!
Yeah, agree. Just go.
Yep. You never know. Just go!
I love this, More exploring like this Awesome work Serg...!!
Cool! I really had fun making this.
Seemed like a pleasant day for a motorbike ride. I don't believe you mentioned if it was a hot day or not?
Believe it or not, but it was quite hot 😂🤣
that was fun
Thanks!
Nice vid Serge! I love the off the beaten path route, but often tourists don't have the moped or means of transportation, or the knowledge to take them to these places , to get to some of them by BTS would be a fun task at hand!
Yeah I know it’s not easy. And I think most tourists just want to see the main attractions. Which is understandable.
You are so brave Serg ❤❤
I’m not sure of making this video in the middle of the day was brave or just stupid. Ha ha.
Future video suggestion?
Owning a dog in Thailand when retired. Or volunteering at dog shelters. Pet friendly accommodation and do these accoms have per toilet / garden areas eg on rooftops? Dog parks, price of dog food. Quarantine if bringing dog over from overseas? I’m waiting til my 13yo lab passes over before moving there as wouldn’t want him to go through the flight or quarantine at his age but might like to volunteer at dog shelters to get my dog “fix” while living there eventually.
Enjoyed your roaming video.
Oh another video idea ? Cost of buying water per day ie in bulk or do people get filters for home? Can you filter the tap water is that drinkable then? Or cost to buy all drinking water? Where does tap water come from that makes it so undrinkable in bkk? Are there any plans to have a vending machine type device where you bring your own bottle, pay 5-10 baht to top up your own bottle to lessen plastic ending up in environment? Is recycling big there???
Oh another thought? Do they have free range eggs? They must go through lots of eggs on all the meals that they serve eggs with. Are chickens treated humanely? The egg producing ones or is it cage eggs? Such a large population and huge egg turnover. Would be interested to learn about conditions of where they’re obtained from.
Oh and another idea: vegan / vegetarian friendly restaurants, ease of buying these meals, is this type of eating popular other than at festive times eg the red and yellow signs I’ve seen? I’m pescaterian (veg with the occasional seafood) just wondering how many vegetarian friendly restaurants there are of course Indian always has great choices too.
Hope your back is getting better after your new years fall. Sometimes things take a while to fully heal. Take care Serg. Thx for another great video! 😎👏🏼🙌🏼
Hey Julie, I’m glad you enjoyed this video. I will definitely be making a video with a dog rescue foundation. As for your other ideas, I think they’re wonderful. There’s lots of other channels that talk about cost-of-living and basic living in Thailand. It’s really not the angle. I’m trying to go with my channel so I would leave it up to them. Thanks as always for your support.
That was a brilliant video Serg. I love exploring those sorts of weird areas on my ADV as well. My only complaint about this video is it just wasn't long enough, lol. Loved it!!!
One of these days, I’ll have to make a 20+ minute long video. Just not sure how many people would want to watch something that long. I’m really happy to know that you enjoyed this, as I had a blast making this video.
@LifewithSerg Please do make a longer bike video. You have a nack of making them interesting and engaging. It really showed that you had a blast making it. For me that was one of the reasons it was engaging.
I’ve got four or five different motorbike tour playlist on my channel. Take a look at those. Right now I’m starting a three week trip to the south of Thailand. There will of course, be videos to follow.
Wear white apparel when its that hot...makes a difference.black absorbs,white reflects.
Yes, you’re absolutely right. I actually have some white shirts.
Serg Serg Serg, I was shitting my pants watch you tear down this narrow paths on your Honda. You have skills my friend.
Cannot wait to get over to Thailand later in the year for the first visit. Plan on hiring a nice reliable bike similar to yours to do some travel for a month and see what I can.
Take care !
👌🇦🇺
To give a better field of view, when I edited the 360 footage, I use the fish lens mode, and makes everything look much faster. Even when I watch it, it looks much faster than I was going. Ha ha
The scenery is beautiful, been doing some bike trips with my gf and take the ferry at pier Wat Bang Na Nok to the peninsula, but the one thing you cannot unsee or ignore is the pungent smell and sight of garbage everywhere in the klongs. It's sad nothing happens with that.
Maybe I’m just used to the smell, but I don’t really notice it. Some areas have quite a bit of garbage, and some of them will burn it, and that’s really unfortunate.

Bangkok traffic is crazy!
I know it’s incredibly hot and humid there riding on your scooter cycle.
I rode big cruiser bikes for nearly a decade 365 24-7 here in Texas much of that in 110 F, but dry heat. Before setting out in the heat I would soak a quick dry ventilated t shirt in cold water and take an insulated bottle full of be ice cold water to resoak the shirt as needed.
Looks like fun exploring the BKK klongs and alleyways. As you know Bangkok Pat does this on foot discussing history along the way. Your way is quicker.
Good to know you can always hit a Wat for a restroom break.
Take care.
I lived in Austin for a year before I moved to Thailand. I remember it being 115° and I was still riding my bicycle around Lady Bird lake. That was not very smart of me. Typically I wear full gear. It keeps from getting sunburned and actually keeps me a little bit cooler. I also don’t really like riding in shorts and T-shirt, there’s absolutely no protection in case of an accident.
Bangkok Pat is like an encyclopedia when it comes to Bangkok. He definitely has his own style, and I think it’s pretty cool.
I know its just the camera perspective b7t watching you zoom aloong those narrow pathways leaves me feelng quite uncomfortable, you are definitely braver than me 😂
Oh yes, the perspective makes it look MUCH faster than it is. I was being careful. Lol
Nice video Serg!
I cooked myself, but this was such a fun day for me
Cool vlog ❤🙏🙏
Thank you 🙌
I haven't seen you have the issue of your bike not starting from the heat due to it affecting the battery.
This bike is only 6 months old. I haven’t had any issues with the battery.
Great video, where about do we get hold of old Honda dirt bikes xr200r spare parts ? Please tell location. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed this video. I’m sure there are tons of places that sell secondhand parts, but unfortunately, I am not familiar with any specific place. You should try Google. 😉
Good to see you our and about, Gee I wonder if it was hot that day🤣😂🤣 I have never ridden motorcycles, do they sell a Kevlar mesh jacket or some such for ridding in hot climates?
I have full writing gear that is made for hot weather. I usually wear it, but on this day, I decided not to. I really don’t like writing without protective gear, so this was a very rare occasion.
Did I mention it was hot that day? 😂
Wearing black in Thailand's hottest season isn't advisable due to the risk of heat stroke. Bangkok's urban landscape, abundant in concrete and lacking greenery, exacerbates the heat.
Yes, you are quite correct. I have some white clothes that I wear. Typically I wear a full protective riding suit, but it is black. Most riding suits are black because any other color would get dirty very quickly.
35c heat must be around 40c with humidity.
Yeah, it was pretty brutal that day. Did I mention that it was hot? 😂🤣
Between super hot and super cold, which one you will choose? I head winter still worst than super hot like this.
Wow… that’s a tough choice. I think super hot. I grew up in Russia and didn’t miss the cold. Lol
Glad you've made it out of the canal rim maze. Was another fun "Lost with Serg" episode. Guess next episode could be something like Songkran adventure.
Glad you enjoyed this! I’m actually hoping to escape Bangkok during Songkran. I just have no interest in the big water fight events well hopefully start a two week motorbike tour sometime this coming weekend.
Fun one. What sleeves do you use on your arms, or is it a top?
Those are sleeves that cost me a whopping ฿29 ($0.88) a pair from Lazada. They typically wear full writing gear, but I bought sleeves and four different colors just to have on hand.
I like Bangkok. Delicious food😅😋
So good!
I love how at the traffic lights it suddenly turns into a grand prix circuit and it's all about who's quickest off the mark 😂
Yes, I just couldn’t help myself. 🤣
You missed a “too hot counter” @ 4:57. Unacceptable!! Just kidding :) we all make mistakes lol
Oh dang! Thanks for catching that
Have you ever walked through the klong toi river market ? We walked through , didn't see any other tourists , kinda got some looks like what r u doing here lol
No, I have not, there are so many markets that I still want to go visit. Thanks for the suggestion.
@@LifewithSerg it's actually a wet market
Have a great Songran Khun Serg ❤ Would love to take you out to Japanese lunch one day 🎉YOUR PICK 😊
You mentioned my favorite food. 🙃🤤 hit me up on Instagram. Same name as RUclips.
@@LifewithSerg It’s because of YOU the lost FOODY always makes me hungry Khun Serg ! Youve lived here in Thailand maybe more than me ! Also you showed us yellow BTS getting off at Ladprao 41 which imy house is ! We can exchange stories as I’ve been watching you traveling Business Class ( I’m an ex flight attendant) ! You’re offering a box of chocolate to flight attendants every flight ! As if you knew our traditions surprises & delighted me indeed ! Love your vlogs n when you feel like Japanese lunch please 🙏 let me know Khun Serg , my treat 👌 🙏
Pls put some into the donation box when you do something in the wat
I always do.
I'm guessing I'm part of the 98%....not that I'm scared, it's that I have no idea where you are....weather the last week really hasn't been too bad...just having to keep hydrated. Sukhumvit seems to have its shaded areas.....I'm loving it here......Matt on Sukhumvit soi 20........
Hey Matt. I’m still here. Never heard back from you. Message me if you still wanna meet up.
@@LifewithSerg I think I sent you an email....a little under the weather but I'm guessing 3-4 days I should be good. so after that if you have time. hopefully that email went thru...Matt
Making Sketch Great Again😂
Yes sirrrrr
It's great that in Thailand you can nearly ride anywhere with your scooter as in Europe you not even allowed to walk on the grass😂
It’s a mad mad world!
@@LifewithSergyes it is so the good thing is we are here 😊
I noticed RUclips has stopped sending replies to comments and new videos notifications from channels. Anyone else experiencing the same troubles.
You have to have notifications turned on. I still get notified of all the subscriptions I have, but you have to make sure that the little bell icon is checked with “all“ selected.
How/Where is your camera set up when riding? What type of camera?
My main camera is my iPhone 13 Pro Max. That’s also what I typically hold, or tuck into my backpack center strap while I’m writing. The 360° camera is an Insta 360 RS One Inch camera. It’s a great camera, but unfortunately, it adds so much more workflow when editing.
Luv these video's serg when you on road. Don't really like your car vids
I can’t please everyone every day. Glad you enjoyed this one. 🙃😊
Hi
Hello
😊🎉
I enjoyed the few walks I had on similar paths in Bangkok, looking forward to discovering new paths when I am back in Thailand next month. You definitely have some nice paths on your videos. I might need a map to find them though
@@LifewithSerg❤
I commented but I can’t find it.. 😢
It’s there.
Looks like it was hot was it ? 😎😁😎
Did I mention it was hot? I think I forgot that detail. 🙃
You should get a helmet mount or chest mount for your camera, much safer
I usually tuck it into the cross strap on my back pack. You are correct, this is not safe.
You wouldn't be able to do that with African Twins dude😂
Even the ADV160 is a bit fat for these trails. Lol.
ระวังหมาไล่กัดเด้อ😂😂
I am definitely careful. Thank you for your concern.

Yes, I understand what you’re saying. This was just the last-minute thing. I know it was too hot, I must’ve drank eight or 10 bottles of water that day.
You need to get an orange vest and make some money. You drive like one
Because I was using a 360° camera, I used the fisheye lens setting to give a wider field of view. It makes everything appear much faster than it really is. Even when I watch it, it looks very fast. It’s just an optical illusion from the fishy lens angle. If I had changed it to a flat setting, it would’ve looked much slower, which it was in reality.
I am one of the 98%, will never visit.
Yes, I understand this is not for everyone. Thanks for watching. 😊
Cycling is usually a more fun ride than going on a motorbike.
Pour cold water into your helmet bro!
Some of the metal hardware on this helmet is already rusting after only a year. I don’t want to get it wet more than I have to. I’ll be buying a much higher quality helmet.
