Hi Guys,
I'm currently taking three months to ride my wheezy Honda Win along the length of Vietnam (North to South) from Sapa to HCMC. Originally I planned the trip with the intention to head into Laos for a few weeks but instead I've decided to take full use of my 3 month visa and enjoy Vietnam at a slow pace. Currently I'm kicking back in Hoi An (my halfway point) and revelling in the sunshine I have not seen for nearly two weeks. No rain! Yay!
Yes, a detailed trip report is incoming once I get home
Basically, once I get to HCMC I'm debating selling the bike and flying to another destination, hiring another bike and continuing my ride OR ride my Win into Cambodia. The question is this; if you could ride ANYWHERE in SE Asia where would you go? I have no real preference although I've been debating getting a flight to Chang Mai, Thailand and riding northern Thailand although I'm open to suggestions. I'm probably looking at 2-3 weeks max and I'd keep it at a cruisy pace. I prefer to ride 4-6 hours a day. I rode 11 1/2 hours on my first day and I'm now appreciating the shorter rides.... it's nicer on the butt.
So, where do you reccommend I fly too and where should I ride?
Interested to hear your thoughts and suggestions.
