6:25 He is a cop. When cops stop traffic or pedestrians, they are expecting a planned royal family motorcade (driving under this bridge, in this case). Rice: Most common is Thai Jasmine rice.
The elevated path idea is really cool. It’s a shame it’s a bit badly designed in places with the steep walking ramps and stuff. But they are trying, and it is novel. So they deserve credit for that, and it shows they are going in the right direction. They could easily have just got the giant paint roller out and made painted bicycle gutters on those 8 lane urban highways.
Here's a suggestion for Bangkok. Just SE of the city is a place called Ancient City, or Muangboran Museum. It is essentially a very large park with re-built historical Thai houses and temples. Closed to traffic except for bicycles and their own scenic shuttle buses. Great place to spend the day bicycling, as well as taking in lots of Thai arhitecture and culture. Not too hard to get to... take the BTS to the last stop - Kheha (if they opened it since my last visit), then best to take your foldy bikes and jump in a cab for about 4 Kms. You could probably bike it from the BTS station, google maps even says portions of the 4 kms has a bike path, but not sure I would recommend it since it is all very busy Sukhumvit road. Oh yeah, and the restaurant on the little island inside the little lake has mango with sticky rice. Enjoy.
@@TwoWheelCruise Just remembered something - they have bicycles there. You will probably read that when you google or tripadvisor the location. They have sheds throughout the park with bikes that you can borrow then leave in any other shed. However these bikes are horribly maintained and useless to anyone over 5'5". Probably donated throw-aways. So, don't make the mistake I made and take your own instead.
I had to look up to see what side of the road traffic drives on in Japan.... I see it's the left so you are used to the Thai traffic... I've been to Thailand 3 times and twice I almost stepped in front of traffic when I got in a hurry forgetting it's not the same as U.S.A.. I've only been through the Bangkok airport and spent all of my time on the island of Phuket...I like the sand and swimming....thanks for the video and stay safe
"They're a bit steep..." Oh well you know?...... Never hurts to busy out my old GT Compé and get gnarly :D This has been freakin' rad. These new adventures are pure radness.
I guess the reason that you have to wait before crossing the green ladder because at that time there is might be some special person pass on the road so you have to wait until they go.
In the video you showed a truck and said that it had seen better days. At 26.58 minutes in there is an old Mercedes truck on the right, that truck is about 50 - 60 years old :-). We had one at the firm I started at in 1983 in Germany. At 28.11 minutes, you got to find something to drink and a Pepsi van drives passed
At last, a proper enjoyable bike ride above the crazy traffic without the feeling that you are either being gassed or about to be hit ! The city badly needs those lovely parks to escape to and see and hear a bit of nature. You might need to carry at least a couple of your water bottles with you , filled up at the hotel before you leave, Also, Thai food is not just tasty but very easy to cook at home once you stock up with a few basic ingredients, which no doubt you will try out at your next destination !
@Martin Kent Keep your disgusting comment with yourself. Thialand is not your house. He is not your King. This is cycling channel. Such a disrespectful manner you have here.
good to VIRTUALLY travel to Bankok together along your video. Thank you for the efforts bring us a FREE tour. Great content! Very informative and entertaining
That park looked very inviting, but I was just as surprised to see it so deserted. Our neighborhood is squirrel central, so it isn't uncommon to have many nests of all varieties nearby (black, grey and even red more recently).
So, you are getting Thuong a "Thai ja nai" shirt? XD I remember once you were near a waterway in Japan saying it smelled and I thought it would only smell more in other countries, confirmed. 😅 You sound really excited, I am happy for you two.
For some kind of reason, I really loved the video. The quite calm, foresty view even the dirt on the ground made all perfect, maybe im more of a mid nature cyclist. I have very low cycling experiences. New discovery today along with Two Wheel Cruise. :D :D :D
never touch the hand rails on the overpass while it is raining as some of them have poorly insulation for the electricity line right next to them, if you take the night train to chaing mai, make sure you get the bottom beds as the ones up high are hard to get up and down and swing like crazy while you are trying to sleep, you say pom mai pood thai which is i dont speak thai, you think the rivers in thailand are dirty ? you should see the rivers in Indonesia, India, Bangladesh !!!!,
Ive noticed there are some "clinging" noise from the bike. Most likely the crank arm (usually the left crankarm) need to be greased and tighten and locite on the crank arm bolt if it is from factory new. I had the same noise on the same bikes for me and wife too. great chill video as always!
Don't miss Bang Krachao, take a small ferry from Klong Toey Pier, a bit hard to find but google maps works. Quiet roads and cool "paths" over wet areas. Plus nice coffeeshops for snacks.
I'm liking all these videos being pumped out right as I'm entering winter break from grad school! So I know nothing about Thailand but I think its probably not super uncommon for military to do some construction work, especially in things that aren't going to be profitable for a private developer like a town park. When I was living in Okinawa the US military had construction people that would sometimes work with Japanese construction company on things around their base. And during natural disasters the military would do things in the US. Honestly, given how the crony capitalist money kickbacks are done with the mayor in my town getting rich by siphoning tax money to his development company, I'd rather the military just do it instead. Probably less expensive and gives military people a skill to use when they are no longer in the army. I can see for many countries this being economical.
We've got a big backlog of videos now and trying to catch up. I'm excited to learn more about the country and how the military fits in with everything.
Nice to see the whole green lane route. I never ride there before actually I never ride in the downtown, due to that craziness road. Sadly. That the main part of Benjakitti park is still in construction. The last part of this VDO is a cigarette factory. Ride around there in the night time is a no no. There surround by rough neighborhood.
The guy you referred to security guard is a real police. By my limited experiences in Thailand, he stopped you from crossing the footbridge because there was someone important who would use the highway beneath, most likely be someone from the royal family of Thailand.
From an ex Bangkok resident - you are correct that 7-Eleven is dominant in Thailand. In fact, Thai people call convenience stores "seven" as a general noun (even if the particular one there is actually a Family Mart). And I had never seen a vending machine in Bangkok...
I think it’s smart that you scope out the places to go during the daytime. Definitely stay away from the questionable places. About squirrels, we have tons of squirrels where I live. They tend to run across the road while traffic is passing. My theory is that they are trying to impress their mates. Most make it, but occasionally some don’t. Thus far I’ve run over two or three unintentionally while cycling. (I feel so bad when it happens).
at 2:05, the guy is gettin a taxi in the middle of the road?? thanks for the vid. hope to cycle in thailand someday too! the ramp in the middle of the bridge is so such a good idea.
You could spend years riding all the paths around Bangkok. So many interesting places. There would be bike path maps available I'm thinking, well worth it.
Go to Khao Yao national park it's cool during winter months but the endless rolling slopes is a killer... Watch out for wild elephants . U need a road bike for it or an MTB , foldie will be tough at Khao Yao National Park
The Japanese squirrel (Sciurus lis) is a tree squirrel in the genus Sciurus endemic to Japan. It was described by Dutch zoologist Coenraad Jacob Temminck in 1844. The Japanese squirrel's range includes the islands of Honshū, Shikoku, and Kyūshū.
Is there a business opportunity for you selling vending machines by maybe partnering with a Japanese firm? I know you don't speak Thai (yet), but I imagine that there are plenty of people in Bangkok who speak English, and you're fluent in Japanese, so you might be in a good position to introduce Thailanders to the wonders of the vending machine.
Just a heads up that was a police officer and not a security guard you ran into. It's pretty cute, the old style police huts they have along the side of the road are in the shape of the big helmets they wear.
There aren't many vending machines in thailand, coz people has a tendency to litter. So, normally for the cyclist you have to bring your own water or make a stop at the convenience store(which is everywhere).
There's a dude here on RUclips called NonStopNeal, who rode Bangkok streets on a Brompton B17 when he first got one. You should check his content, pretty entertaining
How the hell do you both use the brake levers down there?? Mine were always in line with my forearm. Of course the traffic is more troublesome when you don't have a mirror. The lanes do look wider there. I never had the slightest concern in Vietnam or China. Not even after seeing a dozen accidents. LOL.
I wonder if You can purchase a fold up bike with a belt drive : I have a , "Smart Motion", normal sized bike with belt drive and internal hubs , I find myself riding the S M , more than the Avanti ( semi-mountain bike ) , mainly because of the convenience of the belt drive ( Gates Carbon belt , made in America ) rather than the chain drive with external gears ; Cheers and stay safe both of You !
Definitely would not ride up the elevated path. You cannot see the person coming from the other side. Probably not too easy to stop in the middle of a climb on that path. About Squirrels. Yes they are rare and probably non-existent in major cities. However, if you do venture outside the major city in some mountain hiking areas early in the morning, you can still find them. I like that exercise equipment at an outdoor park. No need to go to the gym and with COVID, it is safer to be outdoors anyway.
22:32 actually yes. The military are the ones whose working on the Park. Benchakitti Park is undergoing 3rd and 4th phase expansion (that's why dirts are filling up the roads there), there are also some other new parks being built in Bangkok and the military most of whom are draftees are woking on it. There's a saying that Drafting in Thailand is basically a Modern Day equivalent to slavery. You can see why. They do everything building parks, cleaning up trash filled canals, being a house maid for their higher ups, disaster relief etc. while the higher ups sips coffee in their mansions. The Military in Thailand is the worst of two worlds. The blatant corruption of Bureaucracy and oppression of the working class by the elites.
This ramp is not okay for elderly cyclists with heavy steel bikes. Why is there a wall between the sidewalk and the bike ramp? That's quite an odd thing for me.
It looks like there is a real nice bike path near the airport called Happy and Healthy Bike Lane. This is the website for it, www.hhblbikelane.com/. You can view the website with English translations.

VIP was coming that's why you're not allowed to go across, maybe royalty? You're not allowed to be above. Went to high school in that neighborhood :)
Thanks for the info!
You should try bike lane at Suvarnabumi airport. It is a pretty cool area for cycling.

Am not from Thailand but we definitely love Thai Jasmine rice! They're pretty priced high when imported to our country already. :(

That wasn't actually the river, it's a khlong, which basically provides drainage from the center out to the Mae Nam Chao Phraya.
My mistake, thanks for the info!

Thanks! One less thing to get used to :)
Jasmine rice. Also I’m guessing a VIP was passing at that time which is why you had to wait. Brown uniform is police.
Thanks, that's good to know.
"They're a bit steep..."
Oh well you know?...... Never hurts to busy out my old GT Compé and get gnarly :D This has been freakin' rad. These new adventures are pure radness.

It was nice to relax and plenty of convenience stores nearby to get drinks.
Here we have the Clark Eco Zone. American Base before. Here in Angeles City Pampanga Philippines.🙂
The park is not officially opened yet. Another expansion phase still going on.
Grand opening maybe around mid 2022 I think.
Looking forward to seeing the final result :)

Hopefully they get more people once the construction is finished.
This is awesome I never imagined cycling to be any good in Thailand. I’ve actually been planning a trip to Phuket and pattaya
That's not a trip, it's a drunken bar crawl. LOL.

Besides lots of views of arm veins, it's nice to see BKK (my home away from home) building up it's casual biking scene. Keep it up BKK newbies!
VIP was passing under the bridge. High security and protection.
Such a nice path, Thailand needs more bike infrastructure, it would be so much quieter without all the cars and motos
Would be nice!
Awesome. Great to see new country by bike. Walking time... too.
Glad you enjoyed!
Ah, the famous 1km elevated bike and jogging path.. 👍. G
Hope they extend it :)
@@TwoWheelCruise try riding to a place call Pak Nee. It's along the Chao phyra .. nice site and there is a night market to explore too.

There are squirrels at the Great Buddha in Kamamura!!
Really nice path, amazed that it's not crowded. It does look different interesting about the different taste of food! Now my interests is piqued!
Realy! You came to thailand. Sawadee and welcome. i'm follow your chanel often. i will say hello if i meet you.
Thanks! :)
Culture shock indeed. It's ok to explore and travel abroad. Good luck to your latest adventures.
Thanks! 😃
Great tour guys. Cheers from Greece...
Thanks for watching!
Awesome, after seeing the strava route I'm eagerly waiting for the upload through the countryside on the opposite side of the river :) 👍
That will be a good one ;)

Us too! :)

Wait to you see the cycling in Chiang Mai they have rides that go out into the jungle with no traffic for 100 miles and more
GREAT!

Go to Bang Krachao, Lungs of Bangkok. Nice cycling area where you can get lost for a day exploring.
Check out our recent video ;) We went there.
@@TwoWheelCruise Sorry, just tuned back to your channel. How about Koh Kret? 😉
canals (Klong in Thai) not rivers. Try the roadside stalls 'Five star chicken' it's great

Lots of dirt here 😅

Interesting, we never saw any near us
Those ramps remind me of Zwift London
haha zwift in real life. Their airport course sure feels like it.
Is there a business opportunity for you selling vending machines by maybe partnering with a Japanese firm? I know you don't speak Thai (yet), but I imagine that there are plenty of people in Bangkok who speak English, and you're fluent in Japanese, so you might be in a good position to introduce Thailanders to the wonders of the vending machine.
Interesting idea!
@@TwoWheelCruise You're the man for the job. Thuong can introduce them to Vietnam. Do I sense a business empire in the making?
If I remember well, there is a Din Tai Fun restaurant not far from this park. I recommend it ;)
We saw that, I really wanted to go, but we will wait until next time we are in Taiwan :D
Just a heads up that was a police officer and not a security guard you ran into. It's pretty cute, the old style police huts they have along the side of the road are in the shape of the big helmets they wear.

Nice to see perspective of BKK from wide eyed newbies.
I am Thai. Also, I am a cyclist too 😂. Benjakitti Park extension will open soon.
Awesome!
There aren't many vending machines in thailand, coz people has a tendency to litter. So, normally for the cyclist you have to bring your own water or make a stop at the convenience store(which is everywhere).
Good to know, that's too bad :(
If Thailand have more rough road, i think its better to get gravel bike than road bike or mountain bike
There's a dude here on RUclips called NonStopNeal, who rode Bangkok streets on a Brompton B17 when he first got one. You should check his content, pretty entertaining
Thanks!
go ride at NOng Bon water park next to Rama9 park
Thanks for the suggestion!
It’s a former tobacco factory that has been converted to a park for the people.
Thai rice is really fragrant. :)
Thuong loves it!
2:00 what's the guy standing in the road doing... Hitchhiking?
No clue
Maybe flagging down a taxi? Just a guess on my part.
Wow, look at your arm veins, you got more of those after you moved. haha . i wish i had those....
Not sure if it's a good or bad thing haha
I'm sure you would get in some serious trouble if anyone rode their bikes up or down on the steps. Keep safe and enjoy your time there in Thailand
Possibly 😅
How the hell do you both use the brake levers down there?? Mine were always in line with my forearm.
Of course the traffic is more troublesome when you don't have a mirror. The lanes do look wider there.
I never had the slightest concern in Vietnam or China. Not even after seeing a dozen accidents. LOL.
It's fine once you get used to it.

It seems suicidal to ride those main roads in Bangkok on a bicycle. There are no bike paths and even riding on the sidewalk seems dangerous.
A LAWLESS CITY, WHETRE CIVIL SERVANTS IGNORE TRAFFIC LAWS.
That's not cycling, that's mountain climbing ;-)
It's good to 'bench a kitty' on a 'cruel summer' day!
22:32 actually yes. The military are the ones whose working on the Park. Benchakitti Park is undergoing 3rd and 4th phase expansion (that's why dirts are filling up the roads there), there are also some other new parks being built in Bangkok and the military most of whom are draftees are woking on it.

Phuket is quite safe
That's a BEACH resort. 90% is tourists without a car. WTF.
what that name
DAN DAN ?
the further you stand on the road, the quicker will the taxi arrive....else an ambulance will do.
HAHAHAAAA
Re bike ramps: send it sesame!
brap!
wowwww
Japan there is many machines that sells wathers , drinks on streets
Miss those!
Moving abroad really works the forearms.
And shoulders 😅
This ramp is not okay for elderly cyclists with heavy steel bikes. Why is there a wall between the sidewalk and the bike ramp? That's quite an odd thing for me.
29:22 Rims: To tell people not to park! Chairs, traffic cones, etc... Unlawful.
Interesting
get off you bike and walk the alleys and streets of Bangkok. You will enjoy.
how do you clean and maintain your bikes in the hotels?
SA hubs are far easier to clean, for one thing.
We don't clean that often now 😅 The fenders help
Although i just use my phone only.
Bicycle around to cycling on the footpath but Thai footpath not really good.
Yeah, it's not good :(
Something tells me that in Thailand you will find many more unpaved roads than in Japan.
You need mountain bikes!!!
YES, looking forward to it :)
