Picked up my new versys and was ready to make the Isaan loop. +/- 1500 km. De versys loaded with 2 givi V35's. Bought them in Europe for 15.000 bath in Pattaya the asked 27.000 bath. I did the trip in 7 days and wanted to visit some friends in Isaan.

Started in Buriram and took a senic route to Khon Kaen. The route to Udon Thani was a boring, straight 4 way lane. Udon surprised me. It have some good restaurants, a nice market and a good nightlife.




Visit a friend, who brought me to Nong Kai with his Tiger.



Nong Khai



In the evening I visited Big Cycle in Udon.




Took a senci route to Sakhon-Nakon - Roi-Et.





After a short night drove to Toshang Resort in Khongjiam.




Visit the border Market in Chong Mek






In Sisaket visted Monster bike. He had a big range of Ducati's.




Heading Back to Buriram






It was a lovely first ride with the Versys. It's a good all-rounder and a flexible bike.

Good one Bartomeer,

Nice report & thanks for the contribution.
But WOW, what's the story behind the Monster Shop in Sisaket, of all places?

My wife needed a new jacket, and I wanted to make promotion for the Buccaneer Charity Run in Surin. I was surprised how much ducati's he had in stock. He has also a Toyota MR and a Toyota Celica for sale.

That shop in Si Saket was open on my last trip there and had a good selection of large bikes of varying makes in stock

Heading Back to Buriram

Can anyone confirm this is headed towards O'smach border checkpoint?

No it isn't the road to O'smach. Therefore you have to drive on to Prasat (direction Surin) and turn left on the 214. The road on the picture goes to the Chong Sa Ngam / Anlong veng border.
