Hi All,
I'm organising a trip to Laos for some motorbike adventure with my mates.
Something like this trip, sounds awesome: http://www.ride-lara.com/laos-motorcycle-tours/southern-provinces-4000-islands-10-days
We would be a 4 guys, 40-50 yo, with varied experience, but all up for an adventure.
I've travelled through Laos/Thailand before and rode some 125cc scooters around the back roads, and found it magical. I'd love to see Southern Laos again, thousand islands etc. Maybe 7 days on the bikes, and 7 off bikes.
Some of our group ride regularly on-road, others not, but we've all ridden motor bikes before.
I don't remember it being very busy with traffic at all, has it changed and will we be driving in heavy traffic much?
I've got a wife and kids, so although I'd like to just go-for-it, I do have some responsibilities nowadays.
Is it dangerous? Do many riders get seriously injured?
I have a vehicle drivers license, but not a bike license. Do riders just need a valid vehicle drivers license in Laos? My insurance company says I just need to have a valid licence for the country in which I'm travelling.
Thanks for reading and any advice!
