- During the running-in period of our Triumph 400X Scrambler, we ride through the remote hills in the far north of Chiang Rai, Thailand's most northern province. Dodging the downpours of the rainy season (mostly), we trace a route along Thailand's borders with Myanmar and Laos, passing through hill tribe villages and coffee plantations of the mountains on tiny concrete lanes and down to the fertile farmland and rice fields of the valleys. Afternoon coffee sees us in the Golden Triangle, where the three countries meet in the Mekong River, and our day ends in the wonderful Baan Sakuna Resort in Chiang Kong.

Good to (virtually) see you both again! Can't wait to get back and try to ride some of those killer hills again! Enjoy!
Good to hear from you, Ben. I’ll get that GPX to you soon, remind me if it’s not with you tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing you later in the year.
motorcyclist here, also love Thailand. m8 u are capturing the essence of travelling thru the north of this beautiful country. kob khun mak khrab 😊
Many thanks,I am delighted the videos are capturing the essence of the north. It's our intention to show Thailand away from the tourist haunts, so it's great to hear it's working out, krub 🙏.
Looks amazing, Thank you for sharing
Thank you for watching Pat, I am delighted you enjoyed it.
Another splendid video Mr W & Echo
Thanks old fellow,
Thanks for the video. I like your laidback style and they way you meander through the country. Really makes me want to visit someday and reminds me of my past life in Brazil some. I first discovered your channel a few years back talking about your bicycle and your tours. Good to see your still active. Best regards, Brian
Many thanks for commenting, Brian. I am delighted to be able to share a little of the pleasure of riding through Thailand, and I am happy this brings back happy memories of Brazil for you. I am still cycling, and running tours in Asia, but for now I am enjoying motorcycling in this beautiful land.
Thailand look like stunning and amazing to ride a scrambler 400x. What about de gas price and the capacitys about the scrambler ? Verry nice images of land, thanks for sharing
I believe Thailand is one of the great countries for motorcycling, beautiful scenery, great roads, a great network of dirt roads, excellent value accommodation and good and predictable weather; it's as good as it gets. Fuel is around US$1 per litre.
Bro you have to show your little bit bike handle area its look more satisfied. You can check some moto vlogers video. You are new here so that's why iam telling you others wise your choice
Thanks for sharing! Can I ask you how tall are you? I’m 6 foot 6 and I’m worried to be too tall for this bike…
@@nicolasghislain2332 Hello Nicholas, many thanks for subscribing and for the question. I am 1.85M, which is believe is around 6’1”, so you are considerably taller than me. I strongly recommended at least sitting on a Triumph 400 before buying one, ideally get a test ride. I can tell you that the 400 Scrambler has lower footrests and higher and wider handlebars than the Speed400, making it more spacious. Also, the 900Scrambler has a lower seat height than the 400Scrambler, so a trip to a Triumph dealer to try them for size is a good idea I think.
Hi
I fancy touring around here. Do you know if you can hire 400x in Thailand... North best..Chiang Mai? Or perhaps but and sell on leaving.
The last time I was in Chiang Mai, I saw a 400X for rent; the Triumph 400s were only just appearing in showrooms then, so I expect they will soon become quite readily available in Chiang Mai. There are many big bike rental shops in Chiang Mai offering a wide range of high-quality bikes, such as Honda Africa Twins, CB500X, CRF300, Triumphs, Royal Enfields, and a whole host of sports bikes and scooters. In Chiang, Rai ST Motorcycles offers CB500X, CRF250L and a range of scooters. If you are in Thailand on a tourist visa, I expect it will be easier to rent a motorcycle than buy one.
