Hello everybody,
just for information...it was some shooting on the LP road between lao army people and Mongs with dead casaulties around Vangvieng which was under night curfew.
I do not know more but it seems that now the situation is under control.
Anyway, if you want a nice ride, take west along side the Mekong untill Sanakham when you reach this place, just at the entrance tou will find an old Bailey steel bridge, Take right and go full north until you will find on your left side few kilometers ahead the new EU road which ends to the mekong opposite Paklay. Cross with ferry then full north to Sayabouri and Hongsa.
To do it in one day....if you leave at five in the morning could be done safely but you will a full treatment package on the way back at Papaya Spa....
We will be many bikes...MANY, A LOT !!! leaving on 16 th morning to Hongsa.
See you there
jean louis
