Hi there,

I am just about to head out riding around Cambodia and would love to find anyone else doing the same as none of my mates are free at the moment.

If I can't find a friend I am going to have to resist the urge to venture too far off the beaten track.
Otherwise I will be doing some sort of a loop from PP to Battambang > Siem Reap > Anlong Veng > Preah Vihear > stung treng > rattanakiri > kratie > Mondulkiri > PP
Or something like that anyways...steering clear of the Cardomon's

Really just going to cruise around and see where I end up.
If anyone is around would definitely welcome a partner in crime.
Otherwise I am crossing my fingers that I run into someone along the way.

cheers

Zach

How long are you there? I should be in Cambodia in three weeks, give or take a couple days...

Well, I did ride around a little but the bike needed new sprockets and chains after doing 700km or so and my visa is running out.

I will just have to come back and do the big loop around the siem reap and the north and north west provinces.
Will definitely put a post up when I am headed back again.

For now, it looks like I will spend some time on a minsk in north vietnam.
Sure beats getting on the bus with all the lonely planet devotees.
Not that I still don't own a couple...hehe.
After riding around and getting a taste for it, I believe it is hard to resist doing it in any country you can get hold of a hire bike.

I wrote a blog if anyone is interested in Sihanoukville, Kampot, Kep and Bokor - http://www.travelpod.com/travel-blog-entries/zachf/2/1200837600/tpod.html
Bokor is all closed for the next few years as well Sad

cheers
