Motorcycles mean a lot of things to a lot of people, as you probably don’t need me to tell you. For a Thai man known as Uncle Samsen, though, his sidecar motorcycle rig—and his 11 pet cats that he keeps with him on the bike—are home.
Uncle Samsen—real name Choowong Thepkoh—is a 65-year-old man who attracts social media attention wherever he goes. Although he’s been based in Bangkok for over two decades, in early 2023, he decided that he wanted to return to his hometown of Nakhon Ratchasima (also known as Korat) in Isaan province. More importantly, since he loves his 11 cats more than anything, he wanted to take them with him. The journey would require around 300 kilometers (slightly over 186 miles) of travel.
