Lovely bit of video from a country that was once the poorest in the world, we too were in Laos in 1995, we entered through Houay Xai and rode through to Boten then into China, up into Jinghong then back to Boten and down to Oudom Xai, then, because of very poor weather were forced to go to Pak Beng, then by a cargo boat most of the way back to Houay Xai, we were a group of four riders on a mixture of AX1s and Honda Bajas, it certainly was an adventure!
