Cooking THAI Food in the Mountains / Solo Camping in Thailand / Motorbike Tour in Tak
Hey hey hey! Welcome back to our hungry adventures! And welcome to the beginning of camping video series in Northern Thailand! Today we start in Mae Sot District of Tak Province, which borders with Myanmar. Yeah, it's quite remote district in Northern Thailand. I went to this place one year ago, when I was exploring the biggest waterfall of Thailand. It is called “Thi Lor Su”. You should check out that video too.
However, today we are going in the opposite direction. Today we're going to take the Road 105, which goes to the north - to Mae Hong Son city. This road lies among stunning mountains. This road lies along the border between Myanmar and Thailand. I've got my camping equipment with me, which means we'll be looking for a nice place to sleep at night in a tent.. and maybe even cook something! So it's going to be a really exciting adventure! Hopefully we will see sunrise..
And of course, I'm inviting you to join me in this hungry adventure on motorbike! Let's go. And this is the motorbike.. Honda CB500X, year 2020. Fully equipped for a long adventure. However, I'm still sleepy. Can’t do anything about it..
This belongs to me.. Yeah, it's dry already.. Bye bye, thank you very much for everything! Bye bye, have a nice trip! Hello.. There must be a gasoline station somewhere here.. Oh, this is fancy.
95 gasoline.. how much? 40 Baht.. About.. 300 Baht, please.. 300 Baht, please..
Are you open? Hello.. Ah hello.. I need water..
water, water.. That looks interesting. This is crispy roti, right? isn't it? What is it, I don't know.. Crispy roti snack.. yeah..
Ah.. my fingers don't work.. Hello.. Oh, wow. Hello..
Is this a camping site? I have a tent, how much is the fee for one night here? 100 Baht.. Okay, that's fine.. Thank you..
Is there a sea of fog? Yes, there is. wow.. so high.. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I've come very late. But as they say, it is better late than never! But now I gotta put my tent up in the dark.
And cook some food in the dark, too. Hopefully it will be quiet at night. We'll see. Mickey, Mickey.. Oh, yeah. Delicious "Mama" soup..
Delicious instant noodles.. Tom Yum with canned fish.. Tom yum noodles with canned mackerel fish.. Mackerel fish in tomato sauce.
I don't know how many hours I spent for putting up tent and filming it.. and cooking. But these "Mama" noodles for 20 Baht and a couple of cans with fish.. it is just priceless! Tomorrow will be different menu.. Tomorrow we will cook something special.. because I have got meat with me.
I've got some rice and something else.. But today it is just too dark. and.. I am tired.. I'm very tired.
Amazingly tasty. Wow. Oh, it was a lovely night. But now all I want is water. Yeah.. Two big bottles of water were not enough.. Need more.. It is very, very hot here now. Everyone is gone. I am the last one because, cooking and filming is taking a lot of time. More time than usual.
Yeah.. Traveling in Northern Thailand in winter season is amazing, because at night time you can experience low temperatures. Last night it was around 20°C, which was quite amazing. But now it is much higher than 30°C and there are no trees around to hide.. Can't hide under the trees..
no shadow.. and no water.. This is why I'm running away. And there are no 7-Eleven of course.. lol! It's a water quest! Wake up, Mickey.. Wake up!
Hello.. Can I buy some water, please? What would you like? Just water.. How many bottles? Just 1 bottle, please. small bottle.. Do you have some ice? Don't have it? Okay.. Can put inside a little bit.. Also may I have one more cup of coffee, please? Thank you..
Okay.. I hope it will be enough until the evening.. Mission has been completed. I've got some ice in the ice box. In the cool box.. Because there is one more piece of beef (raw beef), which I don't want to lose. And, two pieces of smoked chicken, which I also don't want to lose.
Because the ice bricks - they don't work anymore. They were cold as ice, but now - not anymore. This afternoon and this morning were quite hot. So yeah, luckily I found some ice! I bought some water, which is why I feel much better. And 2 Americano coffee.. cold Americano. Probably this is the reason why I feel much better!
Because I slept probably just five hours, maybe less. So today, today is Saturday, which means I will be unable to find any available room in the area. No available room.. Because Thai people travel on Friday and Saturday..
Tomorrow - yeah, it is possible, but not on Saturday. However, I still got my tent with me, which means I can choose any place to sleep tonight. Yeah, I need to shower because.. You don't want to feel that smell!
So it will be great to find a nice spot for camping this time.. and come there not late. Not in the evening. And take a shower.
Yeah, not in a waterfall.. In the real shower! With shampoo, with shower gel or with soap at least.. Yeah.. So let's continue! Well, this is not the kind of shower I was looking for.. However, the water is fresh.
Bring me a towel and shower... and shampoo!! Shower? Here is your shower, Mickey! Come on, wake up.. But at least it's kind of shadowy here.. because we are covered with trees from both sides. So I can spend some time here and enjoy the fresh water. Hello, Thailand! Refreshing.. Hello.. Hello.. Would you like to park here?
My bike is big.. wait a moment.. I just wanna go and look around first.. Oh, you're the owner, right? Yep.. Rooms are fully booked now? Yeah.. And tomorrow? Tomorrow also fully booked..
On weekends always fully booked? Yes, usually.. But regular weekdays? Usually available.. You speak Thai very well.. Where do you come from? From Bangkok, I am Russian..
Can choose any place you like.. It's quiet here.. wow.. Do you have shower here? Yes, we have.. over there.. Okay.. Toilets for women and for men.. Very good.. Nice.. What an interesting location..
Today we will be sleeping right on the border with Myanmar. Because this river called Mae Moei is the natural border between Thailand and Myanmar. And today I arrived on time, so I can start preparing my camp now - putting up tent and cooking some food. Of course, if my beef is still okay. However, there is a town nearby. Yeah.. Not far..
And the owner of this place said that I can order some food, I can order some apple juice, even Moo Kata if I want to. And they will deliver it here for free. There is even the charging port here, which is quite amazing. So yeah, let's put up a tent and then I'm going to take a shower.
I really need it! Hello.. can I order some food to be delivered to Camping Koon Chai? I want Pad Grapao with chicken and fried egg on top.. 2 eggs, please.. Yeah..
Yes, I need Pad Grapao.. Because, cooking will be later. I still didn't have my lunch. Hello.. Food has arrived.. How much for everything? 200 Baht..
200 Baht? Okay. Apple juice.. Cheers.
Yeah.. Yeah.. I definitely got some sunshine today. While I was packing the camp in the morning.. the tent and everything inside my bike. Crazy. But it's not what I wanted to tell you.
The owner brought me Sai Ua.. local Northern Thai sausage.. it doesn't look like a regular Sai Ua.. I've already eaten half of it and then I remembered I can actually make a video.. So there is no ordinary sausage peel on it.. sausage cover.. because it was cooked in the bamboo stem. Looks beautiful. Oh, very hot, but..
Delicious.. Delicious! Delicious.. do you understand? Get way, fly! It is time to cook. There is a possibility that I overcooked this steak.
However, it does look good. Sorry guys, it's a little bit dark.. this is how it looks. Delicious chicken with "MAIPHED MAIAROI" dipping sauce! Let me try this piece of beef.. Of course, we will be tasting it with another sauce. "MAIPHED MAIAROI" Suki and BBQ dipping sauce! Spicy one.
I mean, it's very spicy. Mmm pretty good. It's already cold because I waited for too long.. But the steak is still good.. Give me some time and I will learn how to cook beef properly! Wow.. Real beach.
Hello.. Careful, Mickey.. Be careful.. It is not dangerous, right? Yes, it's not dangerous..
I don't want to swim today.. Don't wanna go swimming.. Good morning. Let's explore this Amazon river.
"Mae Moei". Oh, cool wind.. How long we will be staying here? Up to you, take your time..
Okay, okay. Hello.. Where is it from? Mandalay (Myanmar).. Mandalay.. How much is this bottle? 350? 30? Five.. 300 Baht? 35! 35? 35 Baht? All right.
One gift from the trip. Yes. Ladies and gentlemen, sometimes you come to see a waterfall, but then you end up buying some local juice from another country.. but the waterfall looks pretty, though. Hello.. It's beautiful! Yeah, for some people, this house might look simple.
However, just imagine the idea. Living by the river, next to a waterfall.. with your own pier.. It's just wow.. It's just wow! You don't need anything else.. Just Wi-Fi and 7-Eleven nearby.. No 7-Eleven here.. ah..
Karen people? Yeah.. I'd like to give you our flag.. How much? I wanna give it to you.. You want to sell it, right? I should buy it? You don't have to buy.. I give it to you for free.. very kind of you.. thanks a lot..
Thank you, thank you. Being a tourist in such remote areas is absolutely different experience. Sometimes you might experience uncomfortable nights or.. I don't know.. some insects around you..
However, the people.. The main ingredients of such amazing adventures is people, of course.. I need to put it here..
And now I got a flag of Karen people. At first I thought he wants to sell it.. But he said he wants to give it as gift.. for free.. Okay, I am gonna get down like this.. it's better.. No swimming today, Mickey.. No swimming..
Bye bye.. It's 9 AM.. Go go go.. Bye bye. It's 9 AM and..
The sun is already working.. and I forgot my sunglasses, Which is why I will be suffering now.. Because now we are heading back in the southern direction, which means sun is facing us. But it was fun. This was really a lovely tour.. I've already turned back and packed up my tent and all equipment.
Because it's quite sunny here, and yesterday I got sun burned. You can see my hands. Yeah. Got to be really careful here with the sun. You don't feel it when it's burning you. But then.. in the evening or the next day - you can feel it.
yeah, it is quite hot here. There is only one thing which can help me to feel better today. It is a good coffee. And this is the announcement I wanted to make.. I promise you to make an announcement.. Together with my team, we have developed our own recipe of instant coffee, but it's not a regular one! Because regular instant coffee has many problems: 1. There is not enough coffee. 2. The taste is horrible. 3. There is a lot of sugar.
Which is why we've made something very special and we called it AROICA. AROICA coffee. Which obviously has a hidden Thai word in the name - AROI, (AROI = delicious), because this coffee is really delicious! AROICA.. It also has no sugar in it, no sugar, no cholesterol. And there is a number of natural ingredients, natural extracts, vitamins, collagen, L-carnitine and so on. So this is not just a delicious coffee, but also a healthy coffee. One cup is 60 calories.
In one box there are ten bags, 17g each. Ahh.. the smell of real coffee! Also, there is MCT oil inside. Coffee 40 in 1 - You can read the names of all ingredients, extracts and vitamins on the back side of the box. Very delicious..
but I'm extremely exhausted. Sleeping in a tent is exciting, but you can't get a really good night's sleep. For me at least.
Maybe I need some time to get used to it. Guys, thank you all for your time. Oh, wait a second. Thank you for this one more second.. If you have enjoyed this episode, then hit the like button.

Thank you all for keep watching me year after year. I'll see you on the road somewhere around Northern Thailand. Bye bye!
