Lambretta Ride Tour through Thailand 🛵🇹🇭

For the first time in my life, as a Lambretta ride, I rode a #LambrettaX300 ( #LambrettaGarfield ) motorcycle from north to south.

Before I begin the experience of Lambretta ride, I would like to share that this trip on the x300cc Lambretta, nicknamed Garfield, covered a total distance of 2650km round trip. Starting from Mae Sot District, Tak Province, and ending in Koh Samui District, Surat Thani Province. We spent 7 nights and 8 days on this trip with a companion using an X-Max 300cc motorcycle.

Let me share the experiences of this journey in sections in the hope that everyone reads through them and finds inspiration.

😇 Preparation:

As far as preparation goes, I carefully planned this trip about a week in advance, planning out both the itinerary and expected travel distances. Today, traveling from one place to another is easier than ever, with better roads and convenient accommodation and food options. However, I had a lot of concerns when it came to mental preparedness. Having suffered from depression in the past, I wanted to travel to take care of my mental health and emotions. This trip was a conscious decision to take care of myself.

🛠 Challenges:

The lack of social support was a significant obstacle. Until the last second, my mother refused to let me go because she thought it was dangerous, pointless and useless. Friends and others who knew about the trip doubted that I would actually make it. They questioned our sincerity and determination. Despite the lack of support, I was determined to follow through with my decision. The first challenge of our trip was choosing the wrong clothes. The wind resistance caused by my umbrella-like clothing made it difficult to ride fast, especially in strong winds during long hours of riding. The crowded streets added to the exhaustion.

🛵 Inspiration:

First and foremost, I love traveling and discovering new things. I enjoy pushing myself to the limit, and more than anything, this trip was about testing my endurance and determination. I wanted to heal emotional wounds and create memories. This tour was born out of the desire to publish my travels as a vlog.

🥲 Worries:

The main concerns centered around body limitations and ever-changing travel schedules. However, these worries did not deter me. I set out on this journey to prove to myself that I can do it. The biggest concern was the possibility of accidents during the trip and I completely understood my mother’s concern. It was indeed a dangerous journey. I kept asking myself why I decided to take such a trip and what I wanted to achieve with it. But on the day of departure, I had no answers, only the determination to see it through.

🤏 Potential:

I’ve never been on a long distance trip by motorcycle, let alone a trip of this magnitude, from Mae Sot to Sukhothai. In our society, gender stereotypes often determine our abilities. Can women really manage such long-distance journeys? These questions remained unanswered until I took action and proved I was capable.
