Motorcycle Diaries – Take me home….to Khao Yai

“I has a farm in Khao Yai, at the foot of Khao Yai national park, The farm lay at an altitude of 375 meters”……… seems like “ Out of Africa” a bit. Knowing that you gonna ask about Denys Finch Hatton and Borkley Cole. Here is our stories.

We descent Bangkok together from MOTOZONE in RCA. Ekachai used BMW K 1200 R and Jem rode YAMAHA R 1. I drove my Harrier using Toll way. 5 min after the end of the toll, I saw them in rear mirror riding like crazy. At top speed of my car, 180 km/hr, they passed me in just wink of my eyes. And keep riding at this speed through the whole trip.

Offcourse, Jem missed the first meeting point. Then we meet again after turning left from Viphawadee road to Mitraparb in Saraburi at PTT gas station. Then we took route no. 3224 and turn left again at route no.2089 to go to Prapassara Farm. This route is perfect for driving and riding due to the curve and scenery. It’s our all time favorite.

Ekachai and me at Jed Saonoi Waterfall.


Having lunch at Mori Japanese Restaurant in Pak Chong (the most beautiful scenery japanese restaurant in my view) . Take a look at Sake box holder. This made this two guys riding faster.


Riding mountain bike instead at the old golf course on Khao Yai. The condition is very rough now. Had to turn back.


Trying to fix Jem’s bike. Sorry, it’s not a run flat tyre.

Article about yours truly is published in Hi-Class Magazine about his Harley-Davidson Heritage Softtail Special.

Ekachai:"Found new Egyptian friends serving the best grilled leg of lamb with arabic rice."

Ekachai goes mountain biking:"Foggy Mountain at Tung Sa Leang Luang, Pitsanulok known for best route for mountain biking with great view of rolling hills."

Just received this photo by email from a photoshop in Nan Province. It looks like Bundit's Heritage Softtail and his helmet. But where is Bundit? There is no message or explaination with the photo.

By chance, we ran into Bundit Saowan and his on-again off-again side-kick: Kamron, at a PTT gas station outside of Uttradit. He and his Australian friends are riding up to Nan Province.

Bundit's Australian friends, Peter McDowell and Carrie, who came to ride in Thailand.
