About
Colin is a serious motorcycle rider who visits Thailand every year, when it is Winter in his home country, the UK and rides literally any & every road he can around Thailand.
As he journeys, he takes photographs and these tell a story of the places he visits.
To end the day, he typically shows what he had for his evening meal and also a little about his accommodation.
Below is a calendar of where in Thailand he has been since November 2007, shown by region of Thailand, as defined by the GT-Rider forum where he posts all his activity at the end of each day.

The Cap’ns a Legend.
Good for you putting such a resource together so that others may enjoy Thailand’s scenic byways, rather than the frenetic highways.
Obviously a labour of love, but also a civic service to his fellow bikers.
Looking forward to the snake, road-kill & creepy-crawly page…
Oh, and the 7-11 directory!
Thank you Cap’n.
Cheers

what are you trying to prove with this site mate? That you’re a ‘real’ hardcore biker or something?
Pathetic

Hi Friend, I see the passion beyond it. Congratulations for your trip report, think Thailand is an endless subject for it.
Have great fun, and if once it happens you cruise near by Cha-Am around June/July/August or X’Mas (the periods we are generally in LOS) do not hesitate to make a stop to us

You’re an absolute star in the Thailand motorcycle touring world. I appreciate all your reports & photos. I’m sure you have been & are an inspiration for lots of other motorcyclists wanting to tour around Thailand.

Hi Captain
Great to put all that info in one place. Useful for anyone planning a trip on two wheels around Thailand.

Captain,
You are producing an excellent reference for your fellow riders in Thailand, it’s been especially usefull for me down in the south of Thailand and I have already copied a few of your routes.
cheers

Cap’n, I appreciate all the photos. I’m coming the Chiang Mai for the first time in Jan and feel more confident – as a solo female travler – about the road conditions. After some of the roads I traveled in Vietnam, this will be delightful!
creampy – you’re just jealouuuusss! Besides, don’t you know the difference between a “biker” and a motorcyclist? Yeah, I thought so.

Thank’s Captain, now You have pushed me over the edge so to say, I am a 62 year young retired Swede now living in Thailand, and I have always been dreaming of “finding out where all the roads go”, so now, inspired by You, I will start making shorter and longer tours on my old Yama SR 400. BUT: so far I haven’t been able to find any map with the smaller roads shown, my maps only show roads with 3XXX-numbers, and in many of Your reports You drive 4XXX-numbered roads. So now, if You for some few minutes step out of the saddle, I would be very greatful for any hint of where to find some better maps, if there are any.
Many thanks Leif

Dave and Iris, thanks for the compliments. Leif I use the Thinknet maps which although not perfect show a lot more roads than some maps do

Capt:
Thanks for the mention of the Thinknet maps! I’ve previously been using Roadway maps, which unlike most, do show many ‘Unseen Thailand’ locations. I found and purchased complete selection of the Thinknet maps at the SE-ED bookstore (in Big-C, So. Pattaya). Now, I’ll not be blindly guessing which way to go when on a 4-digit road! As some of the print detail is so small on the Thinknet maps, I’ll surely also need a magnifying glass to fully appreciate them
At Franz’ GTR party, last month (April), it was nice to have met your website assistant. Nice lady!
Thanks, Jay ['cdrw' on GTR]
