Hear me out... a friend of mine was in Thailand and Laos last year and he told me how beautiful the countryside was there… Lots of twisty curves, lush mountainsides and deep valleys to wet your appetites. Anyone up for a ride there?
Here is my plan…
1. Fly into Thailand, rent streets bikes in Chaingmai.
2. Spend a few days in Chaingmai. (New Years Celebration)
3. Cross over to Laos. (on the ferry at Chaing Khong)
4. Ride into Luang Prabang, spend a few days.
5. Ride into Xieng Kouang, spend a few days.
6. Ride into Vientiane/KM52, spend a few days.
7. Split and visit your relatives…
8. Meet up and ride back to Thailand.
9. Fly home.
I figure about 3 weeks…. Prices in Thailand for bike rentals are reasonable.
