ride through the jungle so it’s just so cool wow okay oh [ __ ] wow that was very dangerous right now okay okay there’s this little stones on the road woo yeah always be careful yeah this gravel stuff ah been such a nice road but yeah that was bit scary for a moment again yeah you have to be always careful especially when it goes down so steep because there’s less weight on the rear yeah yeah almost crashed there almost put her down but luckily I caught her wow wow this this area is just incredible hello where did we go now we go direction to the hall of opium you know if you don’t know I’m going to tell you now that area it’s called a Golden Triangle because in the past in the 20th century they were they were here was the biggest zone where they where they grow opium so yeah we go there to see if there is some drugs no no
– no no -we just go here to the hall of opium because it’s a sight and we want to check out sights a sight sight seeing these roads are awesome here but there’s not really much to see yeah just the landscape
– just the landscape so we have to do some 
– sight seeing yeah sight seeing right I think you have to drink coffee
– and drink coffee yeah okay let’s get a coffee this is so cool wow and this is really steep too these roads are just it’s just another level I feel like and they’re well maintained like there’s no not many potholes or anything like they’re really good roads wow where do you see that so cool hello hi do you think I I could 
use your electricity electricity electricity yeah yeah do you think I can use a little bit cool yeah and Chiang Rai
– Chiang Rai okay just need a little bit of power cool thank you local coffee and pancakes coconut 
pancakes
– coconut it’s good right
– mhm what else and charging
– wow – wow what is it this
– is um the stone is jade most of the production of jade in the world comes from myanmar or neighbor country so they sell it here they come from there and they sell it here and one how it’s called bracelet bracelet yeah
– one bracelet here cost around 250 uh it’s mean €10 around less than €10 from Myanmar you can buy one of these in our link in 
description
– or there or right there – yeah cool so that was a quick coffee and a quick charge I charged uh about 1.8 KW hours which means like 15% it was I think and I gave the man uh 20 baht which is like way more than double of what the electricity would cost him so yeah he was he was okay with that and we have 50 minutes to go I just you know like whenever we park somewhere or make a 
stop I always try to plug her in just to you know use the time wisely I didn’t have to I think I can even make it the whole day without charging but it just feels good to have a little bit of extra so that also means I can have a little bit of extra fun all right guys can you see here that is the Golden Triangle and this is the Mekong River over there sweet so it separates Laos Thailand and Myanmar I think and it’s right there that’s so cool yeah wow yeah and apparently there was a 
lot of drug trafficking and all this kind of stuff wow see if we can park somewhere ah no it’s disabled parking was just able to plug in here quickly and we can check out the area a little bit let’s do it okay check it out so over there

Wow okay… what a wild ride today! I took my electric motorbike through the heart of the Golden Triangle, tackled steep mountain roads, and explored the incredible landscapes around Chiang Rai. The views were just insane — jungle, rivers, hidden villages, and those super twisty roads that are both scary and fun at the same time!
I stopped for some local coconut pancakes, charged up wherever I could (everyone was so kind letting me plug in!), and learned a bit about the history of the area — this was once the center of the opium trade. Now, it’s all about adventure, nature, and epic motorbike journeys.
If you’re thinking about doing a motorbike trip in Thailand or just want to see what it’s like riding an electric bike in Asia, check this out. And hey, if you want to support the journey — like, comment, and subscribe. It helps more than you know.
