Apologies for the blatant plug, but………..the new GT Rider Laos guide map is out for all you Lao bikers & adventurers.
This 3rd edition of the Lao map is again laminated, & has 5 new "city" maps
1. Tha Khek
2. Savannakhet
3. Pakse
4. Xayaboury
5. Muang Ngoi Gao
Plus heaps more fine detail - many roads GPS-ed properly with scores of new correct village names & more accurate kms.
The map's also an extra 11 cms longer, to accommodate the new city maps, but still folds up to the same standard comfy size.

|
|
During one of our numerous photostops we were accosted by this Dutch couple who,
though it may be tempting to say they were lost whilst reading the map, were in fact looking for a place to stay on the road to Luang Namtha.
David happily directed them to the next major village [Don Chai] where he had overnighted some years before when the road was a vicious rutted track.
We were keen to see them on their way and get back to the process of picturing the AT in action.
However, when they discovered they had found the map's cartographer a lengthy chat about places to stay ensued.
All power to them as they kept up to our schedule & pace -we kept meeting them on the road- arriving in Luang Prabang only a day after us! _________________ "Going to war without France, is like going deer hunting without your accordion."
