We Bought Our Dream Motorcycle for More Thailand Adventures 🇹🇭 (NEW Zontes 368G!)

We Bought Our Dream Motorcycle for More Thailand Adventures 🇹🇭 (NEW Zontes 368G!)

Are you ready for the grand 
reveal of our brand new motorbike? Ready? Yeah. We literally just got this. Our dream 
bike. Our dream bike. I mean your dream bike. And you told me that it is our dream bike. You like 
it too, right? I do like it. So this is the Zontes the all new Zontes 368G. They call it adventure 
touring bike or a big scooter. It doesn’t have a clutch or gears. You just have to accelerate. 
It’s equivalent to which is the more popular bike we see around Honda ADV or Forza. But this one is 
actually a little bit more powerful 368. So about 40 horsepower and it can go pretty fast. I think 
top speed is 150 to 160 km per hour, but we will never drive that fast. We’ll never go that fast. I 
did 110 before and it was pretty easy. Yeah. Look at this. She is beautiful. Beautiful. We went with 
this ginger desert was it ginger desert brown? I think it’s a great choice. Everything you see 
here comes equipped. The only extra things are few small items that we bought. There’s this crash bar 
that comes with it, spotlight, the shield that you can adjust up or down. And if you come over here, 
look, this is pretty cool. It’s a full color LCD screen, and it has tire pressure indicators. 
You can adjust different modes and different interface, and it also has front camera and rear 
camera. So, for me, I don’t really understand all of what’s going on on the driver’s side, but 
what I really care about is the seat in the back. It is very comfortable and it’s wider and more 
spacious than our previous bike. It does sit a bit higher. So, it’s taking me some time to get used 
to just sitting higher and looking I can actually look over Note. It’s a very comfortable bike for 
longer trips. We haven’t gone on a long trip yet, but we will once we get used to this bike. We’re 
going to take it around the island today up to the mountain to test how it handles and also test out 
our new camera equipments because we never film motor vlog before. Yeah, usually it’s just me 
sitting in the back just like filming B-roll of different things. But but yeah, we’re trying to 
actually attach the camera to see what it would look like when we’re driving and talking. We 
never really owned proper helmets before. I got the black one and and I’m the white Power Ranger. 
Yeah, we do look like Power Rangers when we put them on though. It’s so heavy. Like my neck is 
still adjusting to the weight of this helmet. It’s at least what, a kilo? Look at this. This 
is pretty cool. It’s really tight on the cheeks, but you said that’s the right way, right? 
Better protected. You feel very protected. It’s hugging your cheek and your face. I’m going 
to transform. Okay, you ready? Nice. Me, too. Power Rangers Oh, another thing I forgot to mention. It’s 
also keyless. This is actually the key. Okay. You ready for me to hop on? Yeah. Okay. This is pretty exciting. My bum is 
burning. Holy. We haven’t really named her yet, but we’re thinking of Storm or Stormy. 
So, before we go do something fun today, we actually have to stop by immigration 
to pick up my visa. So, I’m on a spouse visa. So then every year I have to renew it. So 
today we just have to pick it up and then we can go do something exciting that you planned. Yes. 
Something we haven’t done before on the island. This is it. Koh Samui immigration. 
A small humble immigration office You good? My gosh, so hot. We look like 
we took a shower already. At least the lineup’s not too bad at immigration 
today. It’s actually one of the better immigration offices in Thailand. We used to do all 
our visa stuff in Chiang Mai when we lived there, and we would be there for hours, like 3 to 
4 hours each time. And usually you have to get up at 5:00am to line up. Yeah. Or you can 
pay someone to line up for you and you’re the first one in at like 8:00am. But here it’s a 
lot more relaxed and hopefully we’re just in and out in half an hour or less. Island vibe, 
you know. We should bring our helmets with us, right? Yeah. They’re like 3,000 Baht a piece. 
We can’t leave it here anymore. Have a camera on it too. How about the jacket? Should I put my 
jacket in? Let me put it inside. You want to put yours inside? No, you have something in there. 
You have a camera in here. Okay, put it inside. Thailand is pretty safe, babe. But you’re right. 
Don’t tempt people. Yeah, better safe than sorry. All good. All good. They let you 
stay in Thailand for another year? All good for another year. Another year of 
adventure in Thailand. It is much quicker, though. It was about half an hour. Got 
everything. So, let’s go eat some lunch at one of our favorite places that we 
almost always stop and eat at when we go to immigration. And then we are going to 
go do some adrenaline things. Yeah. Zipline! I miss Rocket’s AC. I love your shirt. Thank 
you. I have so many cats. I’m also wearing a cat shirt. Yeah, I got that shirt for you, 
too. That could be Ella. Look at how cute that is. I think people by now know we are a 
bit crazy cat people. Yeah, crazy cat people. Somewhere cool. Maybe here. Yeah. A little 
change of plans. The place that we wanted to go by immigration was closed. So we come here 
to our second favorite restaurant in Maenam. Yeah. It’s called Lookkha Kitchen. They’ve 
actually expanded so it’s much nicer. It used to be just that side. Now they have all 
of this seating on this side. And the food is really really good. Food is good. Service is 
good. The owner, the lady just gave us the menu. Always has a big smile on her face. What are 
you going to get today? The usual dirt chicken. Chicken mixed with dirt. I’ll show you why they 
call it that. Oh, what’s this one? Cold fresh coconut. Oh, I want coconut. And prices here 
are pretty good. 80 Baht, 100 Baht, 60 Baht, local prices, and tons of choices. It’s 60 
Baht for smoothies, which is really good. Wow. I get the big one. Okay. You get to finish it 
anyways. I never finish it. They’re humongous. This is so nice. Did we choose the wrong day to 
go ziplining? Maybe we chose the hottest day. But we chose the right island to live in because 
we love coconuts and Koh Samui is actually known for some of the best coconuts in all of Thailand. 
A lot of the coconut plantations are in the south of the island. And I think there was something 
about the water is salty because it’s an island so it’s surrounded by salt water and that’s why 
the trees grow extra sweet coconut. It’s true for Koh Samui and also Koh Phangan because when we 
were in Chiang Mai at the coconut plantation they add a lot of salt onto the coconut trees at the 
bottom so they would develop that sweetness. But it’s natural over here. Do you want to share what 
your plans are for our new bike? I want to do road trips throughout Thailand, mostly in the south. 
For now, we can start in the south. Maybe go back to the provinces we have been before, but check 
out the new parts, all the hidden gems. And then also trying to get a few friends, including Paddy 
Doyle and his Zelda to join us to drive to Cameron Highlands in Malaysia. Yeah, that would be fun 
cuz we’re actually pretty close. Aren’t we closer to the Malaysian border than to Bangkok? It’s 
actually only 14 hours drive from here to Cameron Highlands and 16 hours drive from here to Chiang 
Mai. So with the bike, it really opens up the opportunity for us to do so much more exploring. 
And I also like being on the bike, that air, that feeling of freedom when you’re on a bike and you 
can stop quickly anywhere. Yeah. I think the best way to travel Thailand is by motorbike because 
you get to absorb that Thailand atmosphere. What did you end up getting? I got the pad pong 
karee talay which is stir fried yellow curry with seafood on rice. I’ve actually 
never ordered this one here before, but I wanted to try something different this 
time cuz I I know they already have really good like green curry chicken beef salad and 
what’s the other one I like to get? Pad See Eew. Tom yum. We already tried all of that. So, I thought today 
let me try this. It looks really good though. Nice. Mhm. And I got the chicken mixed with 
dirt. They call it this because it looks like it’s mixed with dirt, but it’s just black pepper 
and some sesame, I think. But it’s not a thing that you find often. No, it’s only here. I think 
you get that 9 times out of 10 when you’re here. We’re here. Looks like lots of people. Okay. You think she’s good here? Mhm. Wow. 
Stormy is so sexy. She looks good. She’s a sexy beast. See you later, Stormy. We are here at 
Tree Bridge Zipline Samui. We’ve lived in Samui for five years and we’ve never done ziplining 
here before, but we heard it’s quite fun, so we thought we would try it and also show you 
guys who are coming to Samui something new to do. I already heard people screaming over there. I’m 
excited. I’m excited because I was on GetYourGuide and one of the most popular activities to 
do is zipline. Yeah. Lots of good reviews. why did we not do that before? It’s actually not just a zipline place. They also 
have a cafe here as well. So I think some people just come for coffee and watch people scream, 
basically. We’re also very high up. So you can see the ocean from here. Nice. And it’s still 
in Maenam. It’s in that path kind of like the shortcut from Maenam to Nathon which we will drive 
later on to show you guys more of this path. And we thought it would be fun to take this because 
usually it’s quite difficult and quite steep, but with the bike it’s really really easy and 
it’s a beautiful drive in the mountains of Samui Wow, this is beautiful. Hi. It’s 
like Pirates of the Caribbean vibe. Oh, the guy just went over me right 
here. Oh, yeah. There’s a station here. This place is nice. So nice and very lively too. I feel like you have now conquered your fear of 
heights and you’re excited for this, right? Not scared anymore. Yeah. I’m actually surprised how 
busy and popular this is. Are you bringing your phone? No. Okay. Just in case. Yeah. I don’t want 
to drop it. Phone and wallet. I like that they have a locker for us. It’s been a while. Wow. It’s 
tight, huh? Yeah. A little bit uncomfortable. Oh, you get gloves. Oh, I guess they don’t mind if 
you carry a phone or a camera or anything. No, I think you can. Yeah. Yeah. Everyone’s just 
taking whatever. They just think that if you want to lose them, it’s your choice. Your life. 
Your choice. Maybe you should drive down the path. Walk down the path. You’ll pick up a lot of 
electronics, a lot of phones and cameras. And we have to put these safety gloves on. I think we may 
have to use this to break or to slow down. This me? Yeah. Right. You would use this to slow down? 
I think so. I think they will tell us. I mean, I hope they will tell us. So far, they haven’t told 
us anything. Yes. So far, there’s no instruction, nothing. The first one is already quite high 
actually. We going all the way up there. Okay, hold here Lean back? Yeah. Lean back. Watch 
your head. Put your knees up at the end. Okay. You got this. I 
got this. Okay. See you. Bye. Put your knees up at the end. Okay, here you go. Oh no, I’m going backwards. Yeah, please. Thank you. That was quite scary. You 
didn’t hesitate at all. Well, I jumped I jumped off and then he’s 
like, “Wait.” I was like, “What?” Please make sure you clip everything. One, two, enough? Maybe? Yeah? My first 
day today. My first day. Your first day? Okay. Good. Sorry. Sorry. But I’m doing good. 
You’re doing good. Yeah. I’m doing good for now. No one die. No one yet. Okay. 
See you. Lean back. Okay. Two. One. Okay. Yeah. See you. Okay. Bye. Bye. I 
have to jump? Okay. Jump. Jump. Have fun. Okay. So far, it’s a lot of fun. 
I’m glad we’re doing this. I feel young again. It’s good for de-stressing. Bye. My bad. It works every time when you say, “Oh, no.” I get scared every 
time. Okay. See you You saw the ocean view of that one? Yeah, that 
was a nice one. That was epic. And I ran out and jumped. That one had a bit of space for you to 
run. Compared to the other zip lines we’ve done, you feel safe? I feel very safe. And they’re 
quite funny, actually. They’re quiet at first, but once you get to know them, they’re quite 
funny. They like to jump scare you and every single time you get off they right away hook 
you to another cable or something for safety reasons so you’re always hooked on to something 
so it’s Yeah, it’s feels pretty safe. Very family friendly as well. Yeah. Oh, these are 
durian trees, babe. Look, there’s some on the tree. You can see them. They’re so small. Well, 
right now it’s almost durian season for Samui, so we haven’t had a chance to eat the ones from 
here yet, but usually after August is when they start coming. So, yeah, you can see they’re still 
there. They’re so small. That one’s bigger. So, we’re hiking to the final platform. This 
one’s supposed to be the highest. Be careful. There’s a crossing. The highest. The 
longest one. There’s a crossing. 500 450 m. You know what would be nice for a hot day like 
today? Jump in the ocean. Yes, please. Let’s have a cold drink and then let’s go find a beach 
and jump in the ocean. Yeah. It’s so crazy hot today. This is a very profitable business. Yeah. 
Very right? Yeah. It’s probably like a fifth or six of the price what it is at home as well. 
125 to 150 quid for one person. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Good luck. Oh, no. No. You can get a job 
here. Okay. Oh, you forgot to clip the last one. Wow. My god. Thank you so much again. It’s fun. They’re taking really good 
care of us here. Ready. Woohoo. Good job, babe. That was fun. That was real hot 
and sweaty too. Look at how wet my gloves are. Oh my god. We are now going to the hidden cafe. Have 
to cross this beautiful wooden bridge. Oh yeah. It’s refreshing. My shirt is all wet. I 
was thinking the shirt I got you wasn’t this dark color. Yeah, it’s so hot. Even the 
guys operating the zip lines, they’re like, it’s a really hot day there, but it’s packed 
with people here. If you want to do the same, we booked it on GetYourGuide and we paid about $57 
per person. Yeah. But there’s actually multiple different like listings on GetYourGuide that range 
from like $50 to $70. So you can pick whichever you like, but we will leave the link of the one 
that we picked in our description. It’s a really a lot of fun. We started at what time was it? At 
3:30pm Mhm. And it’s about almost 5pm. Yeah. So it’s almost an hour and a half of fun for that 
price is pretty good. Yeah. And we get to see a different side of Koh Samui too. All right. You 
ready? Yeah. Let’s go to the beach. Cool down. So, this is Maenam Beach. All right. One of our 
favorite beaches here on the island. It’s probably the calmst beach. Yeah. And it’s a really long 
stretch of beach here with some nice resorts. Oh, the water looks so calm. I remember it’s 
like a family-friendly beach because the water is pretty shallow at this beach. 
Which way should we go? I think we should go that way. Yeah. Look at this side. This side 
looks nice, too. I put everything in my helmet. Are you sure you’re ready to leave me and this 
island for 3 weeks? No. Are you sure you want to do that? This is too nice. I don’t want to leave 
yet. Well, I have to leave. I have to leave you for 3 weeks. But I will miss this island and I’ll 
miss you. Where are you going? I’m taking you guys with me, though. I’m going to go to Hong Kong 
and go to Taiwan for 3 weeks by myself, but I will also be seeing my family there. So, it’ll be 
just a nice time for a little solo traveling. And I thought I would challenge myself as well to vlog 
the experience and it’ll be fun for you to edit, right? Oh, wow. I’ve missed the beach. I miss 
the salty water. This is so nice. This is perfect.
