Riding to the Burmese Border in Thailand Ep32 

Gonna have to say Liss, I'm actually preferring your individual journey. Not too chaotic, nice smooth run. No offence to Harry, but just better seeing you enjoy yourself and getting through it.

I watch with my partner and we're both enjoying your contributions to the channel more than the chaotic almost 'forced' conflict & drama. We appreciate that it's a challenge to ride from Australia to England, but it doesn't need to be an unpleasant journey and we'd actually stopped watching the uploads as we don't find it enjoyable to watch someone struggle and fall down, particularly when it was due to an unnecessary diversion or situation. Looking forward to you meeting back up with Harry to continue your main journey, but I hope he watches your content and reads the comments to see how to make the journey enjoyable for you both. Good luck!

Love the calm, reflective and more personal nature of this video. Safe travels.

I’ve been following you guys for a few years now and even though the chaos is charming (most of the times), I find this way of “presenting” the journey soo much more enjoyable. I’m not saying you can’t travel and create videos like this one as a couple, but seeing you make your own decisions and follow your own path is really nice. The focus seems to be less on the ride and the hassle of things breaking, you or Harry falling, or the banter and/or bickering. Sometimes you have to make a change to see what works better, and I think this definitely does. Travel on!

Liss. Your solo riding is much better as you're enjoying it. Nobody should be pressured into doing things they don't enjoy. The videos are much more calmer with no drama. When you lost a couple of things you just dealt with it in a calm easy manner. Keep it up you're doing great 👌

I have enjoyed both of your solo uploads Liss and prefer your new style, making progress whilst giving us a feel for the places you visit. You are fortunate that you know the country well and I hope you are able to continue like this when you move on. Having watched you both from the beginning I much prefer this style rather than seeing you fall off a heavily loaded bike whilst tackling some often unnecessary and virtually impossible off road track, or getting into great detail about local political and religious issues. I am sure you are focussed on the goal, which is to travel from Australia to the UK in a reasonable time frame/budget whilst enjoying the countries you pass through. I wish you well as Christmas and Happy New Year. Paul in UK

You have found your groove; riding solo is much more relaxing than trying to keep up with the chaos Harry generates. I have never understood why Harry feels the need to force situations in order to create drama. It is completely unnecessary; let the journey and the story unfold naturally. The best riding of the day is early in the morning just after first light. M preferred routine is to get up about a half hour before sunrise, pack up, have a coffee and start the day's ride around sunrise. The streets and roads are typically quieter, this part of the day is the calmest. I will stop for breakfast after I have ridden for one to two hours. I like to make my day's destination by three or four in the afternoon to give myself a little time to explore on foot before the day comes to an end. Liss, your last two videos are amazing.

Easy watching you Liss so chilled n just cruzing taking your time, n just being you I like it …

No Liss, true appreciators do not like seeing you fall down. The aim of your videos is to show us the pleasures of travel, not the exertions. Really enjoying what you are putting out.

Loving your solo journey. You seem alot more calmer.

Well, i don't like to see you fall off. OK, sometimes it's funny, but I'm always rooting for you to make that difficult, slippery track. You're a much better rider that you think you are - and you've come a long way from those early days on the Himalayan ( far better than me ) Really enjoying these gentle style videos but, also, hope everything works out with Harry.

Merry Christmas , I find that the Chanel mush more relaxing now, you are doing a great job thanks for the videos

There really is nothing like riding solo. Even though you have this channel, it's good to remind yourself that you are doing the trip for you and no one else. It's been nice to hear your impressions this far.

Nailed it once again 👌

Yea im enjoying your style and you seem to be enjoying it to

What a fantastic, realistic, visceral video. I've ridden and travelled all my life, and you make the emotional aspect of Motorcycles and exploring so accessible to everyone. Please keep doing what you're doing. It's charming.

We don't love watching you fall, we are inspired by the fact you get back up and keep going. The solo content is like watching an episode of Getaway (travel show in Aus) very.... Zzzzzz. My missus and I both are adventure riders and your couples chaos reflects our own. We would rather compromise on what we do rather then go our own way. Hope you guys find a way to continue where you both are happy with each other and see the world through each other's eyes.

I've never "liked" watching you fall down, but I've always liked watching you get back up. It's encouraging see and helps me mentally prepare for the challenges I may face in my own adventure. Keep doing you and pressing forward, cheers.

Liss. You look at peace, contented, happy and even you look more beautiful. 😊. And by the way nobody likes to watch falling down. All the Best for the rest of your trip. Be safe and Happy👍

These solo vids are definitely showing a different side. Perhaps a mix of the norm and these types of episodes would be great in future to keep everyone happy. I love them all!!! When is it Harry’s turn to show us his own adventures?!

I am really enjoying your calm and laid back solo journey Liss . Have a Merry Christmas and stay safe.

My favourite morning memories when I cycled across Thailand was having breakfast after about ten kilometres, eating rice soup or noodle with the locals where ever it may be and then cycling on with a smile on my face to the unknown next destination.

Lovely country views, chats with local people, and peeks at what folks eat. A paper map & Sharpie pen to track your route would be interesting to me, but others might care more about your experiences than the exact route. Thanks for sharing your journey towards England.

So "Liss In Boot's" a subsidiary of Riding On Egg Shells. You have got this Solo gig down!!! I am getting a real Nigella vibe when you are describing things, it's a totally different you. More relaxed & whimsical. Even Mrs Wombat noticed the difference in your demeanour & how much prettier you look by having time to put into yourself. I can see that as men we really want to lead rides and probably expect our ladies to be more like us and enjoy our agenda. I am seeing that this may not be the best thing. I think you & Harry will appreciate each other after this little adventure apart, also you have just niched a new style of Motoblogging as being a couple and 2 solo's on the same journey. No one else has done that, so nice one!! You have created a 1st (as far as I know at least ) and in this blogging world it's hard to come up with something original ;) Stay safe and we're watching, Harry pull your finger out and keep up :P

I've driven up that way. Lovely country. My favorite part of Thailand in many ways.

Your aesthetic camera work really does Thailand’s beauty the justice! 👍

I also prefer your style of vids Liss HOWEVER as a man I do find some of the Philosophical questioning just a little closer to ichy, your monologues otherwise are great, and your on camera conversations are brilliant. Miss Harry but am enjoying the Vicarious experience of Food, Climate and Roads

Wow Liss another awesome episode. Your definitely making good relaxing content. Soo much work your putting in to film this is not lost on me.. Bloody well done. Keep up the great work. Loving it.

Sorry don’t get me wrong , your solo video is beautiful Liz, so mellow, so peaceful and excellent shots all throughout. I just freaked out at first thinking you and Harry had split ways.

Another episode with a significantly different filming format - it's good!

Yep I’m another fan of early morning riding leaving in the dark at 4.30 am and riding as the sun comes up

I am very happy to see that you enjoyed your trip in Thailand, Discover something new every day on your journey.

Another great video Liss. Enjoying the relaxed and calm version of you. Safe travels and Merry Christmas.

Hai... Your solo video more relax and difference then your video before... Look you really enjoy the journey.... Hope you happy 👍

Oh my this route from Pai to Wiang Heang brings back some memories. A friend and I cycled, yes on mountain bikes, from WH to Pai in 2004. I'm recalling the junction with an army post, and Pai signboard, the wooden bridge outside Muang Noi etc. in yr video. We stayed at another border patrol post here as it was getting dark at 6.00pm. They took pity on us, fed us dinner and breakfast. Back then most of the route was barely a meter or 2 wide. Definitely just a red earth foot path. No concrete roads whatsoever. The next day Pai seemed like Las Vegas. I believe the closed road you got to after Doi Ang Kang does lead to Fang city. It skirts very close to a ridge next to a Burnese machine gun post, hence no entry. I know that some mcyclists start from Fang and climb up the opposite direction but it can be washed out. Seen gaping holes in some pics. I too was turned back at that same roadblock I 2017.

What I can say...just perfect, I remember when you sold your Royal Enfield Himalayan, very funny that moment and now in a completely different version, just amazing. Stay well both you, Liss and Harry.

I love the both of you riding together but it’s great also to see you riding bye your self and your stile traveling it quite different.

Yes agree the rice soup breakfast is the best, my favourite when travelling around Thailand, also Vietnam where i returned from a few days ago, soo tasty especialy with the dried garlic and tiny dried shrimps and chopped spring onions.

Nice and chilled, really enjoying your solo time.

I am really enjoying your video chapters your camera work and editing is great!

Just watched a few vids before and after your solo ride. Content's definitely better with the b rolls/cutaways and can surely make out that you are enjoying the whole film making journey as well. The effort put in is definitely showing. Congratulations and best wishes.

Hey Liss, I noticed that your front brake hose isn't routed properly. It's supposed to be inside of the fork instead of outside. Next time the front wheel is off it would be a good idea to fix that, even though It's not necessary to remove the wheel. My girlfriend and I ride DR650's and we enjoy following your solo journey.

Hi Liss, this is Gerhard. I just started to watch you videos - this is the second one 🤣 But believe me - I will stay and follow you. Already made an abo ... Looking forward to watching your movies. Have a great time, Gerhard

Great video Liss. I was in Doi Ang Khang early January this year. The Sakura blossom is awesome. What a disappointment to turn around to use another route as the shorter route by Google is actually going into Myanmar. Safe journey and enjoy your solo adventurous ride in Northern Thailand.

So relaxing to watch We are loving it .

Loving your solo journeys , you're doing great.

Great to follow you! I share your thoughts about riding solo. Riding slow and experiencing the surroundings is my way of travelling. You make interesting and nice videos. Thank you!

your channel is great and presentation is excellent. stay safe and keep posted

I was gonna come here and comment on how i love the relaxed and more personal view on things, turns out i'm not the only one👇😝👍

Very nice video. I love it but what attracted me to your channel was the combination of you and Harry. The fun you two had and the challenging situations you got yourselves into. It was different. There's a massive risk of decending into sameiness like many other motorcycle travel channels.

Hi Liss, I thought I'd clock in again to wish you and Harry a Happy New Year, see you next year 🍾🥂🍷🍺🍷🍺 🥃Slainte.

Better production and shots Liss. I used to get up really early too but without a plan or a mission or something to do (I stopped doing a lot of things mostly because I just got right into the whole peace and quiet thing) then it just became a long wait for work.

Enjoying Liss’s solo videos, they feel different and serene (maybe you should have two channels!) but at the same time I do miss the duo action and the humour you generate together. Happy Christmas to you both!!!!

Great video Liss, my favourite episode ever.

You are much calmer now Liss. You said some of us liked to see you fall. No we didn’t, it gave us the worry that you might injure yourself and that would be the end of your journey. This side of you is much easier to watch. I’m sure there will be some problems along the way on a journey like yours it would be unusual if there were not. Try to remember it’s not the problems that define you it’s how you handle them. Best of British luck to you , have a wonderfull time 👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Wow! Such a great video! Love following your adventures and experiences.

Enjoying the series more now

Loving the story. Best monring time for me - outback Australia - Desert watching the sun rise. Keep it coming you are doing great.

I really enjoyed this. Very relaxing and boy you really know how to make a video Liz. 😎

Early morning is the best part of the day! - love an early start. This new style is great Liss, keep it up and stay safe!

Good one Liss!

Loving the new pace just wonderful and beautifully presented 😀

Great video! I like your solo journey much better.

hi lizz! it really fell different see you on your own, different is good i tink!, but i miss harry, i like the way he see things... abrazo a los dos!!

Great video! Fang has always been on my go-to list. Looking forward to your next video.

Really enjoying the videos of you on your own seem to be much calmer and relaxed

You're doing great. I admire you. Have fun and happy driving in Thailand.

A fantastic video Thank you

Loving this new you You are looking and sounding much happier Your very confident now and just making it look so easy Ride safe and just keep going We are all behind you

Again a nice episode. Thanks for sharing.

Appreciate the travelogue style of videos. As they say it's all about the journey - Liss you convey good stories. Merry Christmas and safe travels.

Awesome, bring on the next one.

Beautiful View and mountain

Nice with a different twist to this roadtrip..makes me happy to watch as always.

Really enjoying the laid back style of these videos, Liss. More about the journey rather than the ride. It's nice to see the countryside and hear your thoughts and observations. Wishing you and Harry all the very best for Christmas and a safe, happy and prosperous New Year. Looking forward to seeing all the adventures to come!

I really enjoyed this video, keep up the good work. Favorite morning memory, watching moose bathe in a lake all by myself

I think I have enjoyed the last couple of episodes more than the previous ones. I enjoyed the history you shared, along with the local attractions (mud bath)

I have really enjoyed your videos.

Have a Nice trip and good luck👍

Great stuff Liss,travelling alone has its ups and downs,but i love it.Good luck with your journey and stay safe,

Your riding skill is super talent on that wood bridge and gravel. Stay safe and enjoy your solo day in Thailand .

Great video, Liss. I love taking off early in the morning as well, for reasons you mentioned. Yes, when traveling solo you have to be responsible for everything, but I love travelling solo, so I've gotten use to double checking the room before I leave and making sure bags are secure. BTW, I don't love seeing you fall down, I love seeing you having fun and challenging yourself. I remember the early episodes with the Himalayan and the falls, drops, etc; you've come so far as a rider and are very confident on a larger bike. Can't wait for the next one.

Ok 👌👍 Liss

Just discovered your channel and have watched episodes 27 through 32 and honestly found your 2 solo episodes far more enjoyable than the fractious and chaotic episodes with Harry. Having done the Loop back in 2018, which I thoroughly enjoyed, I am finding the experience, through the eyes of a third party, very enlightening. Keep up the good work Liss, stay safe and thanks. You have a new subscriber. Best wishes from Spain

You seem calmer les stressed good to see you laugh

Really good stuff. Glad that you are enjoying it. Don't forget to give us some updates on Harry journey.

Yet an other great episode 🙂

This was very relaxing ,and since it is 10 degrees F where I am ,it was great seeing the all the greenery ,and warm weather.

Am loving the serenity your finding yourself in ATM. 💖 I am flooded with my MHS loop trip memories as I watch this. 🙏❤️🙏 #travelsafe

good episode, enjoy the ride , you seem less stressed

That was just the tonic I needed. Thank you 🙏🏼Cold and wet here in the uk. I think you are doing really well, so don’t doubt herself. To answer your question, yes you have been transformed, fly butterfly, fly. Thanks for sharing your amazing adventure.

Congratulations on a well put together and enjoyable clip. Quite relaxing and looks like you have settled-in and enjoying your trip too. I guess many of us are wondering what is it really like and this is a window into that world, so thank you. I stumbled across the Riding on Eggshells when you were leaving Sydney and I was instantly attracted to the emphasis on "coffee, roughing-it in motels, and running a bit late”. In the context of “anti-hero” I think of you as Anti-Adventure riders. A superbly wry outlook and the subtle humour you bounce off each other is a delight to watch. Hoping the remainder of the trip is relaxing, enjoyable and rewarding.

Routine has been my life, I’m feeling much more relaxed watching your solo adventure because I can see you are more relaxed. Focus in on securing your bags…not missed. Morning coffee after a couple hours riding awesome. I never stay in bed and my next trip to Thailand I’m doing the Loop up north. Great work

Videos are so different think i like them more now but not saying anything bad about Videos before keep it up. Aussie Aussie Aussie....

No complaints, enjoy Xmas:-)

Delightful Liss😊

Hope you make it to Fang...so beautiful there.

I love this video also. Think I will be watching every one of your solo videos. Sometimes it was hard for me to watch your old videos. But they made you who you are today, so... Do you notice now that you are "riding your own ride" you are not dropping the bike? I don't think the, We, love watching you fall. Personally, I relish that you don't let it keep you down, you keep getting back up. I like who you've become. My girlfriend was short and a few times rode my Kawasaki VN900 and did well with it. Once she dropped it on an awkward driveway incline. She never rode the VN900 again. That made me sad. Leaving things behind is not a pitfall of traveling solo. It's just life. It will strengthen you. You may develop new habits for storing or checking items. The second person doing that for you will not strengthen you. Instead, it's more enabling. This summer I left behind a hat my son gave me a few years back. I cried. It would have been a two-day ride back, IF it was still there. I chose to think of it as not, I'm dumb for making stupid mistakes, but it's just life, and sh.. poop happens. I use labeled zip-lock bags, if the bag is empty something is missing. I like the way you flow with the day's ride and are not trying to force it. I enjoy the solo life. I stopped getting mad at starting too late or riding past sunset. I take it as, I wonder what surprise this day will gift me. Like your choice of music and the way your enthusiasm pours out into the video.

เดินทางปลอดภัยไปถึงอังกฤษนะ

I also prefer early morning starts. The stillness and beauty are unmatched. I'm enjoying following your journey Liss.
