Yeah it certainly did take place, although some sectors were a bit “mickey mouse” in my opinion.
For me it was a 1 off showcase event just to prove that it can be done with government help.
Whether anything good comes out of it for bikers or individual motorists is very doubtful I reckon.
There’s quite a few news reports on the event up until Thailand, but not not much afterwards. They did however reach Singapore, and then ended on the Indonesian island of Batam!

Agreed itwas a bit of a government "dog & pony show" (that must be a Canadian expression?)
But to be honest I dont think Burma really is opening up.
However, despite subscribing to that theory I'm going to try & get in from Tachilek in the 1st week of May to ride up to Chiang Rung & back.
Who knows, something may come off.........
In comparison Laos is opening up, with the new border crossing at Nam Hueng (Kenthao.)
