Hello all. I am planning a solo ride through Sothern Laos in May 09. More than happy for anyone reading this to join me if they wish. I'll have about a week to kill but have not yet firmed up any dates in May.
I would be greatful if someone could advise the bike rental situation in Pakxe, Laos. ie types and quality of bikes available there, reliability of the vendors, cost etc. As an alternative option, I have also thought about setting off from Ubon Ratchathani in Thailand and maybe hiring a bike from there to take accross the border at Chong Mek before getting to Pakxe if it means getting ahold of a better machine. Looking for a Honda 250 or the like. My preference would be to hire in Pakxe if I can to avoid the hassle of crossing back and returning to Ubon if I can, as I intend to fly further North in Laos and hire again in Vientiane for more biking adventures in the north.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
