Hello,
I'm from India and my visit to Cambodia will be part of a much larger, sponsored motorcycle journey that I am currently working on. There will be three motorcycles and four people travelling on them for nearly 50-60 days. The route I wish to take begins at Chiang Mai (Thailand) and takes us into Laos, Vietnam, back into Laos, back into Vietnam, into Cambodia, and finally back into Thailand (Bangkok). The estimate distance is around 11,000-12,000 Kilometres with a journey time of nearly 50 - 60 days.
Each of the riders have a riding experience of over 7 years and at least 15,000 Kilometres. All motorcycles will be Royal Enfield Bullet Standard/Electra 350.
I have chalked out my route up till Cambodia at the moment and I'm working on the last leg of my travel. I have used bits of the route that you guys follow on your travels and routes from various sources. As a rule of thumb, none of the riders on the trip wish to visit places of 'tourist importance' and the whole idea of motorcycling for us is to seek solace and hear the thump of our engines in complete silence.
As of now, I am yet to finish chalking out a concrete route for Cambodia - I have decided to use the Moc Bai border crossing and head toward Phnom Penh as the route takes us all the way down to Southern Vietnam and eventually to Ho Chi Minh city. I'm unable to decide as to the places I 'ought' to cover in Cambodia as a motorcycling enthusiast and a seeker of peace. I hope your views will be of some assistance here.
Any information that you can provide me in regard of making this trip happen would be tremendously helpful. Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Vishnu Shriram
