Thai man's 300-km motorcycle trip with 11 cats goes viral

The route was nearly 300 km and took almost five hours of traveling, The Thaiger reported.

Many Thai TikTokers posted videos of Uncle Samsen, real name Choowong Thepkoh, and his cats and praised him for his love and kindness toward the cats.

A popular cat Facebook page, Kingdom of Tigers, also raised funds to buy Choowong a sidecar motorcycle so he can travel to the markets with his cats.

Last week, the Kingdom of Tigers page urged followers to donate cat food to Choowong as he was about to travel to Korat by sidecar motorcycle.

In an interview later with Amarin TV, Choowong revealed that he came back to Korat, his hometown, where he left 26 years ago, to sell his goods at the annual flea market. He also wanted to bring his "kids," or his cats, to visit his birthplace.
