The GT Rider message board exists to complement the Golden Triangle Rider website
http://www.gt-rider.com/
It aims to build up a motorcycle touring community in the Golden Triangle & surrounding region, by sharing info / tips, and Road and Trip reports.
All Road & Trip reports are welcome – no matter how big or small. Even just a brief summary or outline is ok - anything is better than nothing! Your input will ensure that the aim of the GT Rider board (to build up a motorcycle touring community in the Golden Triangle & surrounding region) works. No matter what, or where, or how far you ride, you are welcome to join & contribute – please do.
Riders / lurkers who use the board to scam info, make their own great trips & then leave without making any R&T reports are not helping. Please share your information and experiences to make it easier for all of us. By putting something back in, the amount of info improves, helping all of us. It also prevents you from getting offside with the GT Riders & getting an ear bashing (& some of us grumpier older farts have been known to delight in giving one out)!
To avoid trivial questions and subsequent snotty little replies, note that with a little research, all the general info for touring North Thailand / Laos you might need is on the main GT Rider site http://www.gt-rider.com/index.htm
Check the GT Rider site out properly before you jump in & ask non-essential questions.

Buy a GT Rider map or book & you'll never need to ask info for distances / travel times / road conditions, as you'll have it all in your hot little hands.
GIRLS.....
Find your own. There should be NO poaching of girls between GT Riders, as there are more than enough good ones to go around. Poaching of girls only causes ill feeling and witnesses to feel extremely uncomfortable. This is absolutely not necessary between mates.
Pic above: Alright I'll make an exception for the one in the middle.
MEETING UP
The regular hangout for GT Riders is the Kafe Pub & Restaurant at 127 Moon Muang Road, 260 metres north of Thapae gate.
David Unkovich usually goes here for a late breakfast from 10.00AM & most evenings from 9.00-9.30PM. Other riders drop by almost as often. Wear a GT Rider shirt & you'll be most welcome.
GT RIDER SHIRTS
http://www.gt-rider.com/thailand-motorcycle-forum/gt-rider-polo-shirts-t2092.html
Fit right in: buy & wear a GT Rider polo shirt to be immediately accepted by the locals – free beers & hot women galore, plus tips for the best rides & roads. Available from Mr(s) Mechanic next to the Kafe.
Confused about any of this riding & not sure how to start your bike even? Then take a look at this tip below from Charlie’s Ghouse in Pai
Come and enjoy life and your riding. With the right attitude It's always fun in the incredible Golden Triangle.
Keep the power on.
David Unkovich.
The GT Rider.
