Huge Thank You to Motor Ville Royal Enfield Bangkok for this amazing opportunity.
Riding in Bangkok was so different from anywhere I rode!
In this episode I will pick up the bike from Royal Enfield Bangkok and will ride straight in to a central City traffic.
We will ride to a famous China Town and to watch the Fireworks for APEC on the river.

I think it is safer going 100mph plus in the states on a sportbike than riding the speed limit in bangkok, that traffic gives me anxiety, you have bigger balls than me.
Love from India
@@zahir_2013 why
You are a very brave lady, you couldn't pay my enough to ride in that city. Utter madness, I was breaking into a sweat just watching this video. I will stick to riding on open road. Well put together video, excellent
Fascinating tour of the city and events, also a bit terrifying at the same time to brave that traffic at night, no less! Thanks for setting a good example with full gear. :)
Thank you for coming to Thailand. I am FC you in Thailand
The best motorbikes for negotiating Bangkok traffic is:
Manual: Honda Wave 125cc or 110cc
Auto: Honda Click 160cc or 125cc; Honda Scoopy 110cc (these are perfect for shopping with the foot well and hook to carry stuff as well as under the seat.
The reason is that they have a short wheel base; narrow handlebars and tight turning circle.
If you want to be young and have fun: Honda Grom 125cc
If you want to be cool: Honda Monkey 125cc or the new Honda DAX 125cc
A good commuter and Bangkok city bike is the Honda CB300R
If a shorter Thai, then a Honda Rebel 300 or 500cc
A 300cc is considered a Big Bike in Thailand and well adequate.
I say Honda because Honda have 72% of the Thai market and spares and shops for parts are everywhere.
Love all that mayhem and chaos! The mix of defensive and aggressive riding, risk thrill overload! But you are right, every road user is completely at one with it, that's all they know. So you can kind of trust their skills in the chaos and just focus on holding your own! What a rush×100!! This was great to see, well done both of you for having the balls and skills to nail that and conquer those streets. 👊👏👏👏
They love their dragons and fireworks. Terrific show (and so nicely filmed). Well done setting a great example wearing helmet and riding gear through the bussling Bankok chaos, bravery, caution and skill (fear for all those pillion girlfriends risking it wearing neither).
so cool you got to ride around Bangkok with a guide.. I will put this on the list to do for my next visit
I am loving your content. You have inspired me to change my plans for this summer. Ride safe and continue to be awesome.
When you overtake on the left between the curb and cars, look at taxis and buses as often passengers just get out.
You made it to Motorville, my RE dealer, just around the corner from where I live. A great video!
For me; Bangkok is the best city in the world and Thailand is an incredible beautiful country.
Great video, and very interesting the Chinese festivities. Thanks, and take good care and enjoy.
What a cool and adventurous ride!! So many bikes, and it was so interesting to watch you going through the city!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
I can say, though, traffic in the big cities in Brazil is a lot crazier than in Bangkok. Everyone is constantly changing lanes, like all the time there.
Thank you for sharing such a unique riding experience!! 💯💯💯
I hope one day to experience that too!
First ride in Bangkok not easy, You 've got a special skill to make this. Love your content. With love from Bangkok.
Fantastic video. I was scared of the traffic just watching!!
I could tell your heart was racing from excitment and nervousness, in bangkok riders are fearless lol. Great choice bike between enough power but not too much.
Looks like you had a lot of fun Dee , I don’t think Jonesy would like it there.
Jonesy is Honda. He’d love in Thailand 😂
You did so well. It looked like you had a great time. Good idea folding the mirrors in. I've ridden a bicycle in BKK but not a Motorbike. Drivers are totally aware of bikes. I have a scooter in Hua Hin, where I find its much safer to ride. It's a necessity as I stay 14km out of town. In my home country I have a HD
I’m in Hua Hin now. Just had a first ride today! Alone. It’s amazing. I’m still buzzing and can’t wait to do it again tomorrow.
So much calmer then Bangkok!
Nice looking bike
All I can say is Wow, it’s crazy and exciting
Everyone should visit an Asia country the people are so nice, unfortunately I went to Thailand a few times but only on business so didn’t get much chance to explore, but I did live in china for a while and that was amazing, nice little video thanks for sharing your experience
I never knew I'd need a few Honda Monkey bixe, now I do.😎
So do I 😂
HUGS FROM BRASIL.
เก่งมากๆ.เยี่ยมเลย...
Yikes Deimante! It looks like You're riding in a video game🤮🤒😳!!! No way I, myself could enjoy riding in chaos like that🤯. But I hope you had fun!🙂
Tomboy_a_bit. Girl something is, agreeing with your trip to Bangkok. Coz there is a positive glow in your eyes and on your face. So whatever your doing, carry on enjoying. So until your next update, safe happy riding kido 👌☺️...
thanks for the journey
It seems you were more comfortable (not counting HOT) in Bangkok vs London.
Take care 'n do your best to be COOL Deimante.
These Husquis and the KTMs under 390 cc are all manufactured by Bajaj in India...and apart from the South American and Asian markets, they dont meet manufacturing standards elsewhere...but i think the brands and working on that and they should be out over the course of time. Bajaj in fact is also in the middle of manufacturing the mini Triumph to try and get at the RE market in the UK!
Slightly chuckling at all the comments here. That kind of traffic is literally my life, personally can't imagine seeing roads without little motorcycles zipping between cars and busses.
I was thinking following my guide, that to him is normal, like all those schooner riders who grew up riding with they parents with no lids or gear. Only when you compare you see the difference.
@@tomboyabit A lot of them don't really have much of a choice. Lower incomes, car centric roads and cities, and inefficient/infrequent public transportation means that underbones and scooters are all many could afford whilst still being a part of the economic engine of society. As such, many small bikes are decades old and since proper certified riding gears (other than helmets) are expensive to them and traffic is so slow (and in the case of rural villages, non-existent), they are only worn occasionally in the rare chance they have a bike with a large enough fuel tank to ride across states.
@@IskDude980222 I understand that. In fact many people ride no faster then the cyclists in UK.
2 wheels here is not the luxury like in the seasonal European countries. It’s a transport. Like you say the most convenient and most affordable to many.
Still to me each and one of them are riders. Most more skilled then those who can afford the bike as a toy.
Hello from Germany Deimante, realy enjoyed watching your recent videos, all the amazing bikes and places you showed where awesome.
In one of the videos i noticed, you wearing a shirt and a sticker appliying with your "slogan" on it "riding is my drug". I was wondering if it possible to buy such a shirt and some stickers, because i can relate to that statement a lot and would love to support your content.
Thanks for the great videos, keep it up!
OMG!! 🤩🙌
Riding in Bangkok looks a bit insane. I am very happy you fit right in. Be happy, be safe
I honestly enjoyed it! But hey, I’m a motorcycle addict 😅
@@tomboyabit Just one of the many reasons you are my fantasy. Keep on being you!
If this is chaotic… I can’t even imagine how riding in a place like Delhi in India would be like! 😮😮😮
Hello. Riding more than 40 years in Athens i can tell you it's the same shit. Also the 200 is not for E.U. market for the time. We have 125 and 250. Ride safe. Love and respect.
Hello from Motorville Bangkok
😍 Thank you all for this experience!
Best to get a scooter travling to these SE Asia cities. Narrower to zip between traffic's ,No clutch to deal with and you could one hand the phone for Gps . Since u can't get on motorway in Thailand on a bike anyway
I’m riding Duke 790 now and honestly can say I enjoyed a smaller bike here. Especially when got lost in narrow back gardens like streets in Hua Hin 😅 Maybe I should try a scooter next.
Some roads so wide here that I thought they’re motorways. Thanks for telling me 😅
On 1-12 December In Bangkok, there is the Motor Expo 2022.
Did you go to this event?
In this year's event, there are many new models of motorcycles showcased.😁😁🙏🙏
Yes!! Coming back to Bangkok for it! 😃
OMG ,,,Not for me ,,,way to much traffic ,your a brave woman Deimante ,,, riders or not.
Haha is not as bad is looks.
If you have time come visit my place in Kelantan Malaysia
The reason is simple: Either you have the permission to only drive the 125 or you have the full license. And who on the earth would buy a 23 hp bike with a full license if the 44 hp 401 is available? And it has to be cheaper too. It just makes no sense.
Many of us here in North America are "riders", but if we go to Bangkok, then "not"!
😂😂😂
I should have told you.
Pedestrian Crossings mean nothing over there.
They will not stop for you.
Very Dangerous.
I’ve noticed. Crossing the road is filtering 😂😂
I love all the comments about Bangkok traffic, it's hilarious 😂I ride my Triumph Speed Twin almost daily here, you just get used to it. Check out some of my videos of riding in the city.
Exactly, just need to get used. It’s easier to get used after riding in other busy cities and if you have filtering experience.
@@tomboyabit I learned to ride in Bangkok, got my first bike here 12 years ago 😁
Price of the bike pls ..! 🙏🏻
Where will you make Christmas in Bangkok or with family
I’ll go back to UK for Christmas.
Don't you like making videos on electric motorcycles annually and above
I did a few videos on Electric ⚡️ Bikes
no 200 in Europe, because of the no 2stroke manufacturing
Не знаю, зачем я это смотрю, ведь у меня даже нет мотоцикла. Похоже во всём виновата ведущая. 🤫
