Nice job there Blister!  I think you can now say that you are truly one of the GT-Riders. You have been to places that many people will never see because they never try.
Keep it going and stay safe.

Congratulations on a Blisteringly good road report & tremendous pix!
I'd be interested to know who exactly were the problem regarding taking a bike over when under 18: Thai or Laos customs?
Only that I am going to be taking the same route with my 17 year old son [has Thai M/C license] in August.
Ride safe and keep us updated - sterling stuff!
