saying goodbye

saying goodbye

good morning guys started very early today to see the white temple but yeah as you can see you cannot see much I don’t know if that was an unfortunate decision or not but at 
least there’s not going to be so many people it’s supposed to be very beautiful so let’s check it out I can see it it’s not that big yeah it always looks a bit bigger in the photos it’s always like that well it hasn’t been like that with the Taj Mahal it was actually more impressive than it was in the photos but this is looks really cool too all right where do we park wow it’s already full we can just park here right in front yeah right wow looks cool though yeah can you imagine going here on a Sunday afternoon imagine look at that guys surely it would have 
been better yesterday with the sunset and everything but there must have been 
so many people here if it’s already this full now at 9 in the morning on 
a Monday that is awesome look at that no it’s not the water it’s the fish 
fish is blue yes I don’t think so I think the fish is blue
– you think so that they put the color like more more warm no more blue
– I think yeah they just saturation up – right wow no because people stop to take a picture let the people stop to take a picture then continue I will I did
– you blocked the way – I blocked 
the way but the picture
– the picture is awesome let me choose one okay wow such a talented photographer
– look at the hands wow so the temple is actually quite new they started to build in 1997 it’s like a famous Thailand artist wow okay wow guys that is pretty cool so I’ll just sneakily get out here Wow look at that bike look at that the attention to detail I 
like it breakfast – yes please I’m starving are you hangry
– I’m not hangry yet but – getting there if it takes more time yes
– yeah okay let’s go White Temple guys look at that wow oh we’ve been here on Eve so cool look they have EV charging yeah but where is it hi how does it work with the app the EV charging do you yeah yeah what app do I need no it’s the same as car does that work hi
– you need to charge yeah I want to try how it works but I need the website right or does it just charge
– yes I just open just start oh and you uh scan register
– yeah yes and this plugs in I’ll just have to make an account cool thank you just want to try it out connect on the phone yeah yeah it took me a moment to figure it out but I’m charging now that’s really cool I mean I didn’t really have to 
but it’s good to have a full charge perfect did you order food already
– I didn’t not I did not
– oh you waited yes
– no – yeah because there’s another option didn’t know what you want well this
– this looks good right this is American breakfast yes I will take that too
– yeah yeah look at that road that looks quite good winding is already ah but going up I don’t know if I want to go up maybe okay Fernanda goodbye
– nice travel with you those days thank you for your company oh God I might see you in Bangkok
– maybe – maybe somewhere else let’s see yeah it was pleasure I don’t want to travel alone anymore now that I know how it could be enjoy chiang mai okay guys that was cool now I’m back at 100% I haven’t quite figured out how to pay because the app wouldn’t stop the charging process but yeah I mean they will let me know right they want me to pay huh oh do you need help oh God no no you you can’t even travel without me wow wow goodbye yeah Fernanda is going to chiang mai to see her husband and uh I’ll be going to Nan it’s about 240 km I think and it’s supposed to be nice there so I just want to check it out because I still have like three weeks here in Thailand before I have to be out so that will be good I think that way all right let’s do this so the temple again let’s see how many people now it’s all a big line wow wow crazy wow massive line now have you seen the line have you seen the line this is good we came early wow yeah we go the same road for a while a bit apart from the mountains in Thailand I like these rice fields a lot especially from the drone view it just looks incredible back on my own I’m very grateful to have had this experience the whole northern part of Thailand together with 
Fernanda it’s just more fun you know when you have a travel mate uh I really enjoy that and I’m lucky enough to meet awesome people on the road and to be able to travel with them together for a while I know this is also a hard thing to do like not everybody can just go with another person and then it’s all smooth sailing you know what I mean especially with solo travelers it’s always a bit difficult to go then as a team if you know what I mean but yeah it worked out super well we had a great time and uh and yeah now I’m back on my own with Eve let’s see how long she’s going to last I hope she’ll bring me to Malaysia I’m pretty confident actually because the motor didn’t get worse or anything sounds the same for the last few thousand km so I guess it’s going to be all right we’ll be fine okay I plan to actually make it to 
Nan without a charging stop but since we’re climbing up quite a bit now I think uh it’s going to be a little bit tight so I guess I have to stop somewhere and plug in ah damn it because there is a charging station so scenic area what is this here maybe I can also plug in somewhere here okay wow this is cool wow I can make a break here yes I’ll make a break yeah not too bad not too bad for a quick stop here I like it but yeah going up so steep took it out of the battery a lot but we also have to go down so I don’t know there’s a town coming at some point I know so I might have to just plug in somewhere ah would have been cool tough I mean I can can eat something here would be cool and can just ask ask if I can plug in they let me plug in here that’s good I have yeah sweet I can plug in here so friendly the people here and uh ordered some food some uh crispy pork with uh holy basil let’s see how that is I mean that’s just their traditional food with rice pork mainly rice and pork or beef or chicken but it’s super super uh super affordable here yeah outside of the tourist areas 
is much much cheaper obviously but yeah it’s cool I’ll have a little break here can 
work a little bit perfect thank you thank you yeah from from Germany okay okay okay bye-bye lovely bye so nice yeah Eve kind of forced me just have to close my Eve kind of forced me to make a little break I put in like 2 and half kw hours 
I think that brings me to the charger no problem and food was amazing it was only 50 baht but I gave 100 for charging just because you know like they were so nice and let me plug in perfect okay now we make it for sure okay so quick tire review update basically I’ve been riding them pretty hard for the last couple weeks and I must say they are quite slippery especially on these smooth roads I can really yeah it’s sometimes you really lose a lot of confidence with them because 
you can feel them wobbling around I guess this is just something when you when you go really a little bit hard on them when you feel that but I didn’t have that with the Continentals which are like I think the road attack 4 are probably are going to be my favorite tires out of all of them that I had on Eve the Michelin I don’t really like the especially in rain they were so so slippery yeah oh you see really slippery I mean 
it could be the road too it looks pretty slick but but wasn’t at the beginning I didn’t 
feel like it was like that at the beginning but I can feel it now so yeah I don’t know I probably wouldn’t put them on again but I didn’t really have a choice anyway 
ah but look at the scenery gets better now wasn’t the whole day it wasn’t 
so spectacular but now it gets much better yeah got to be a little bit more 
careful with these tires okay somewhere here must be oh I see it already it’s 
over there cool there’s a few cars there though it’s like a shopping mall don’t 
know if I’m supposed to drive this way but like does he want to go in there or he leaves right okay hi start charging yeah brilliant that’s a bit loosey cool okay have some drinks some snacks and yeah charged me right away Charging stopped payment successful 20 minutes 4 KW hour in 20 minutes we charge 
double of what we charged at the lunch break ah that is really cool when it’s fast like that it’s awesome found the hotel I could have gone straight there but to be honest you know me I like to check these chargers out and see if it work especially this one because last time it didn’t quite work and it cost a whole bunch of uh trouble with Eve all right see 
how the hotel is hey doggo nice okay where is reception maybe here wow it is cool here there’s dogs huh I don’t really know hi you have a room available one person one yeah yeah you’re going to go in the back road
– yeah okay but don’t go out of of the properties okay make a left on that little road right there and follow the the the road go all the way to the back I’ll meet you over there Perfect
– all right – thank you sweet got a room she made it 800 I saw on Google it was more expensive much more expensive but for me for a traveler she 
made it 800 what a lovely lady she is wow this whole is that is it called a resort Wow they have dogs and cows wow I like it so I have to go all the way here yeah and I think I think it’s this room here I think she said that yes sweet is the right room or this this or this yeah it’s it’s an ebike uh can I plug it 
in oh you need to plug in
– it’s ebike yeah that’s fine
– okay there’s no oil or anything

like what a cool ending of the day house is lovely the host is super nice uh I have a little spot to work outside here so all good yeah it’s always after I traveled with somebody else is always in the first day is always really hard to be alone again but uh I’m going to be fine so um don’t forget to subscribe and yeah I I don’t know what I do next I probably make my way down to Malaysia now because I don’t have so many days anymore so uh yeah probably heading 
towards Bangkok and then towards Malaysia see you okay end ride
– you finished your ride that’s what we did today nothing fancy but that’s the route

Saying goodbye is one of the hardest parts of travel. After an unforgettable journey through Northern Thailand together, today was the moment I parted ways with Fernanda and hit the road solo once again. In this vlog, I take you along as I leave Chiang Rai after visiting the famous White Temple (Wat Rong Khun) and begin my ride towards Nan.
This episode is all about the reality of solo travel, the emotions of saying goodbye to a great travel companion, and finding my rhythm again on my own. I share the challenges and beauty of riding through Thailand’s mountain roads, charging my electric motorbike along the way, stopping for local food, and reflecting on the incredible landscapes, from rice fields to remote villages.
Whether you’re planning a motorbike trip through Thailand, curious about EV charging stations in Thailand, or wondering what it’s really like to travel alone after making connections on the road, this video is for you. I hope it inspires and gives an honest look at the highs and lows of solo adventure.
