CHIANG MAI SCOOTER DAY TRIP - SAMOENG LOOP | Thailand Travel Vlog 051, 2017
This was such an epic day, it's now firmly on our list of favourite things to do in Chiang Mai. We hired scooters and drove the Samoeng Loop through the Mae Savalley, also known as the Mae Sa Loop - its always a popular choice on blogs for what to do in Chiang Mai and the various places on the trip. Basically its a scooter mission, or motorbike rental mission, around the Mae Sa Valley mountains and Samoeng area surrounding Chiang Mai - and you definitely should do it!

SCOOTER ROAD TRIP ON THE SAMOENG LOOP IN CHIANG MAI | TRAVEL VLOG #28
A scooter day trip on the Samoeng Loop is an absolute must if you're in Chiang Mai. Thailand is insanely beautiful, and the area around Chiang Mai is no exception. The Samoeng Loop is about 100 kilometres long and goes from Chiang Mai and into the mountains northwest of the city and back to Chiang Mai. Driving the Samoeng loop takes approximately 3 hours, but there's so much to see, so plan on spending at least 5 or 6 hours on the road.
We brought food from Chiang Mai, because we were not sure we'd be able to find anything vegetarian on the road, but we actually did pass by a couple of vegetarian restaurants. There are a lot of restaurants and small cafés around the Samoeng Loop, so you really don't need to bring anything but water (which you can also buy, but you know).
When we went to Chiang Mai last year, we went up to Doi Suthep a number of times, and we had no idea that the Samoeng Loop even existed. You should definitely also see Doi Suthep while you're here, but trust me – you don't want to miss the Samoeng Loop! We rented a scooter for the day from a place called Mango Bikes in the Nimman Area of Chiang Mai. We paid 200 baht for one day, and about 80 baht for fuel. It is that affordable. If you fill up your bike in Chiang Mai, you should be good to go. We stopped at a tiny gas station after about 30 kilometres, but it turned out we didn't have to do that. Better safe than sorry, I guess :)
We chose to go counter-clockwise as most of the interesting sights are on the Northern part of the Samoeng Loop, and we spent the majority of our time on the first 30 or 40 kilometres. Go whichever way you want, but make sure you have enough time to stop and enjoy the amazing views. We left Chiang Mai at around 11 am and got back at around 4.30 pm.
What you need for a scooter day trip round the Samoeng Loop:
– Water
– A bike (and helmets, of course)
– A few hundred baht
– Sunscreen!
– Sunglasses
Have an amazing trip!

Hi there! I'm Anne-Li – Danish girl, globetrotter, travel vlogger, blogger and digital nomad traveling the world with my partner in crime and long-term boyfriend Mathias. Spending a month in Budapest every summer taught us that traveling does not have to be expensive and that slow travel is the way to go – for us.
We have been traveling full-time since September 2016, and we usually base ourselves in one place for at least a month or two. This way of traveling is not only budget friendly – it also means that we can take our time and really explore and enjoy the place we're in. We eat local food, shop at local markets, meet local people and enjoy experiencing different cultures – all the while seeking out the best wifi and exploring everything there is to explore. Everyday is another adventure, and we’d love for you to be part of it!
Let's go!

THAILAND VLOG - The Mae Hong Son Loop (North Thailand) NOV 2016
The Mae Hong Son Loop: Forests, Mountains, Indigenous Wildlife.
I have been meaning to post these photos taken during my time in North Thailand but was postponed due to weak internet connection in Myanmar. I did this loop, in late November for about a week, just because I love riding motorbike so much. Being my 3rd motorbiking abroad, I was truly enjoying my time tackling those 1,864 curves. This excursion really brought back my fond memories of my Vietnam motorbiking trip.
Before doing the ride, I did quite number of researches in the attempt to fathom the route as well as the stops. The loop was approximately 600km long. I started riding from Chiang Mai to Chiang Dao, Pai, Mae Hong Son, and Doi Mae Ho (Sunflower Field) before riding all the way back to Chiang Mai. Although, you can always adjust to your own needs in deciding which cities to visit and which stops to make.
Along the way, I passed many, if not a lot, security checkpoints guarded by Thai Royal Army. Worry not, just say that you are a foreigner and they will let you go. They are no harm and doing their job as needed.
To be honest, I had to go through such unexpected verbal sexual harrasment on one of nights when I camped at Doi Mae Ho. It was like a jungle and mountainous area, literally it was the real wilderness. The experience could've gone worse, but thankfully I was safe. I felt truly sense of danger for the first time after so many solo trips I did. It shook me quite bad that I needed some time to post about this. I will later tell a little bit detail about this, because I believe it is highly important to let other female solo travelers know that something like this may always happen, although I dont intend to discourage them from doing solo traveling.
Nonetheless, despite the horror experience I had, I will always proudy say that I have done The Mae Hon Son Loop. This is a comprehensive way to discover one of Thailand's most authentic provinces.
Enjoy and thanks so much for watching! xo-Syifa

Saints of Soul biker show - Chiang Mai, Thailand
A short video showing last nights Saints of Soul biker event in Chiang Mai, Thailand. An annual event, which has been running for many years.
My initial thoughts is that last year had a bigger variety of bikes (this year was very Harley themed). Also last year had more interactive fun stuff, plus interesting monster trucks etc. This year had a lot more selection for foodies though (which my stomach was happy about!)
Bike-wise there was a mix of modern and classic (including classic cars).
Several small interesting stalls selling old bike parts and some gear clothing stalls.
Entertainment-wise there were the usual pretties on bikes.
Biker Chicks Thailand lady rider group were there also.
The DJ was great, but not the usual kind of music you would normally associate with a bike show. Lots of funky tunes. Loved it, but not so sure if the crowd did (mainly biker club/Harley riders).
Later Thai acts, such as Big Ass, took to the stage. Which, although great music, didnt get me out of my seat and dancing like last years classic rock (sung by Knight, (The Voice Thailand) and his band The Black Rock Band. His operatic rock voice is phenomenal).
Talking of music, there was the normal conflicting sounds..such as MC's, music at stalls, and the main stage. But you have to come to these events knowing that will happen and deal with it (or wear earplugs). I do not see the point in being overly negative about these kinds of events. We get to enjoy them for free and a lot of work goes into putting them together.
On a personal level, last year for me was the best year so far, so it raised the bar and my expectations, despite me always aiming to take it each year as it comes.
This year still had a huge turn out and lots of happy people.
Many thanks to the organisers.

20 Things to do in Chiang Mai, Thailand Travel Guide Video Transcript:
Today we’re taking you around a city that we’ve been to many times before: Chiang Mai. Located in the heart of Northern Thailand, Chiang Mai is a growing city with laid back vibes, temples sprinkled around every corner, and a foodie scene that will make you drool. This is a destination where you come to unwind and that’s exactly what we did during our month long visit. Now let’s get started with this tour of Chiang Mai (清邁) so you can see what this city is all about:
One of the best things you can do in Chiang Mai is ditch the map and get lost inside the old city. It’s along the quiet back lanes that you’ll find cozy cafes, terracotta gardens, unvisited temples, and a little flavour of the old Chiang Mai.
As you’ve probably figured out, we’re not really into nightlife, but Chiang Mai does have lots of bars where you can enjoy a drink or two. We kept things light with a Chang beer.
And that’s a wrap for our visit to Chiang Mai, Thailand. We hope this video gave you a little taste of what this city is all about. We’ll be the first to tell you that we barely scratched the surface in terms of everything Chiang Mai (清迈) has to offer, but that being said, the goal of our time here was to relax, eat well, see friends, and catch up on work. As always, if you have any other suggestions of things to do, places to visit, and restaurants to eat at, feel free to share those with fellow travellers in the comments below. Until next time!
This is part of our Travel in Thailand video series showcasing Thai food, Thai culture and Thai cuisine.

DAY [1]
Outfit:
Dress
Hat Lackofcolour

Night Bazaar
Good for souvenirs, make sure to haggle aka just walk away lol
DAY [2]
Outfit:
Top Nastygal old
Culottes NAKD old
Shoes H&M old
Backpack Rag & Bone Pilot
(3) Temple Tour
I think it was $30? per person. All of the tours we booked were found on tripadvisor.com- we chose the ones with the highest ratings and paid through the website or online. All of the tours we took also picked us up at our hotel at 8am. The temple tour was from 8am-12pm and was relatively affordable. It was a small van of 5 people.
*for this tour, be sure to be well-covered and to wear slip-on shoes as you will not be able to enter otherwise.
DAY [3]
Outfit:
Skirt & maxi set
Happy Elephant Home Sanctuary
We did the one that's 8am-5pm, lunch included. Very fun, very surreal! Would recommend! Tied with the waterfall as our FAVORITE part of the trip.
DAY [4]
Outfit:
Top Missguided old
Skirt Korean store (idk)
Shoes Puma (old)
Private tour (and car service) through Doi Inthanon National Park and other very popular tourist spots. The hike with Bohk, a member from the White Karen tribe, was probably one of our favorite parts of the trip, but overall, we felt the private tour was a bit unnecessary. Also this was the most expensive tour ($140~ for the two of us) and we could've definitely done the national park on our own. But it felt very luxurious and safe and was one of our easiest tour days, because we didn't have to worry about if we were in the right place/getting there/etc. Lunch was also included!
DAY [5]
Outfit:
Dress Forever 21
Sunglasses Lespecs x Adam Selman
Bua Tong Sticky Waterfall
A MUST GO!!!! 5/5 stars!! We went super early in the morning at 8am on a weekday, so it wasn't crowded at all! We heard this place can get super crowded with schools and many other tourists, so we got very lucky. This was our favorite part of the trip because it was so fun and accessible and it felt like a free water park. We hired a red truck for $40 to take us and wait there for an hour watching our luggage (our tour guide from the other day said this was the best way to do this, as well as resources online said this).

120 km Bicycle ride in Chiang Mai Thailand... Most spectacular views
Just a quick video of a couple of beginners doing a ride from Chiang Mai to Mae Ngat Somboon Chon. 120km, 413m of elevation and 5 hrs in the saddle.
