He went to Thailand to go BACK to Britain.
"On two wheels" implies it's a sightseeing trip. Basically seeing the sights between Thailand and home. Probably only to leave again because... y'know.
Rather than a motorcycle, it's funnier to imagine he made the whole trip on a hoverboard.
Not necessarily escape. More, experimenting out in the world, then run home and decide that the planet is entirely backwards.
Yes, experience, and bring something back to the museum

The guy on the right is Ben Innes from Aberdeen. He posed for a picture to post on social media next to Seif Eldin shortly after he hijacked a plane in Cyprus whilst wearing what turned out to be a fake suicide belt. Ben didn't know it was fake at the time of course.
Cool, if morbid, photo to have afterwards, though!
That's a big smile for not knowing
I mean if you think it's your last photo, wouldn't you wanna look good
"Welp!"
He also said later that it was to try and get a better look at the bomb.
Terry Pratchett nailed it in The Color of Magic.
Twoflower was a tourist, the first ever seen on the discworld. Tourist, Rincewind had decided, meant 'idiot'.
Asking: “ where can I find a pub”
Wherever you are in the world, there is usually an Irish pub serving Guinness.
Also according to Hemingway, you can find at least 2 Estonians in every port in the world.
I can’t confirm that, but I can confirm that there are Irish pubs here in Estonia too.
As a Finn, even when we have five times your population, I still believe that to be true of Estonians but not of Finns.
Also when you find those two Estonians, you can purchase cartons of cigarettes and bottles of Viru Valge off of them.
You know, to have after the visiting the Irish pub.
Viru Valge? God damnit they're letting out reputation down. Everyone knows you take crates of Vana Tallinn with you on trips so you can use it to bribe people. Or maybe that's just in former soviet republics

Man, I just watched this video last night and it's a crazy watch. The guy was surprisingly calm given the situation (though I'm sure he was freaking the fuck out on the inside.) and it just kept escalating.
Seeing the humanity among the Nepal community was heartwarming as well.
I haven't watched the update videos yet, but I know he's released several more videos recapping the events, the proceeding fallout, and interviewing some of the people he had encountered.
This video of his was very entertaining.
Thank you, great share. Also he has the perfect eyebrows for this, very expressive
on two wheels
why tho
he's on a global motorcycle tour. generally speaking if you want to see the whole world and not just tourist traps, you're gonna do it by bicycle, motorcycle, or by hiking and taking the bus. the theme of his channel is to show things in the world most people miss because they're taking curated/manicured forays into the world catered to their pre-existing outlooks on other people and places
A random political overthrow fits in there quite nicely, actually.
on some level, with the era he was doing this world tour in, and the specifics of what he was seeking to show the world about how we're all just people and the states that rule us are arbitrary, it was bound to happen eventually

Just one wheel is vastly more difficult
Three wheels it is then
Edd Pratt actually did that!
Why not.
Go out, do things.
"Bloody hell it's hot down here. And no hotels either! Sauna'a are quite warm though."
One of my life long dreams is to document events around the world. It is dangerous to be caught up in the middle of a social unrest, but it would be a mad story to tell in the future if you survived!
Careful, he might accidentally appropriate your cultural items and place them in his museum
