Folks,
I and my team (ACE MTSG) is now planning for a round trip within this August - September.
The trip is roughly planned as below:
Ho Chi Minh City - Kon Tum (Vietnam) - [pass the Po Y border gate] - Laos - [pass the Pakse border gate] - Khao Yai - Chiang Mai - Bangkok - [pass the Poi Pet border gate] - Phnompenh -[pass the Tay Ninh border gate] - Ho Chi Minh City.
There will be option 2 with the reverse moving direction.
Detail of the trip as below:
[list type=decimal]
[*]Day 1: HCM City - Laos (800km): We will try to depart early from HCMC and pass the Po Y Viet-Laos border within the first day. Will stay somewhere in Laos [1st Hotel in Laos].
[*]Day 2: Laos - Khao Yai (700km): Pass the Pakse border gate and stay in Khao Yai [2nd Hotel in Khao Yai]
[*]Day 3: Spend full day in Khao Yai with the Bonaza track (#) [3rd Hotel in Khao Yai]
[*]Day 4: Khao Yai - Chiang Mai (800km): move to Chiang Mai with your recommended route. Great if someone go with us. [4rd Hotel in Chiang Mai]
[*]Day 5: Spend full day in Chiang Mai to explore some nice riding loops around Chiang Mai - your recommendation! [5th Hotel in Chiang Mai]
[*]Day 6: Chiang Mai - Bang Kok (800km): we do not intend to get into the City, as we don't like the traffic jam. Just need somewhere nice to see with good road to ride there. [6th Hotel near BKK]
[*]Day 7: BKK - Phnompenh (700km): Pass the PoiPet border gate to Phnompenh or somewhere else on the way back to HCMC. [7th Hotel in Phnompenh]
[*]Day 8: Phnompenh - HCMC (400km): Pass the Tay Ninh border gate back into Vietnam.
[*]End tour
[/list type=decimal]
There are some more input:
- Our team with mostly Sport and Sport touring big bikes. Optimistic, we could do 800km/day without concern.
- We 'd love to spend one full day in a track, whichever on the way from/to Chiang Mai. We will use our own bikes to ride in the track. We will need instructor for that day as well. So that if there is a track in Chiang Mai, we may not need to spend day 3 in Khao Yai.
- If there are some bikers in Laos or Thai could join us as a route guider would be great.
- We do not need luxury hotels. Just fit for purpose is enough (sleep, shower, bike wash/parking, somewhere to eat..).
- We would like someone (body or agency) who represent us to take care of all the custom related matters at every border gate. We just ride to the gate and they are ready with all the necessary documents/applications to get us thru.
....
Please feel free to give your comments, suggestions and advices... to any of above items.
I do appreciate with the route, accommodation, custom, escort, track/instructor booking.
All your comments here are highly appreciated.
Thank you,

(this is our almost initial plan, so it could be modified base on your recommendations)
