Just back in Aus after visiting Laos for 12 days. Time in Vientiane, Vang Viene and Luang Prabang and saw enough to want to come back next year. However next trip will be on bikes with a friend rather than families in a mini bus!
I've been reading many of the Laos posts and have a few questions.
We will be flying into and riding from Vientiane and are planning on 2 weeks riding including a couple of days in Luang Prabang to catch up with our wives who don't intend to be left out altogether.
I use a TomTom here in Western Australia but its time for an upgrade and it seems that a Garmin is the way to go. Thinking of the Rino 650 as if we get seperated we still can communicate as well as navigate. Also these are 2 for 1 here at the moment.
Any comment?
Any issues with using VHF radios in Laos?
I've bought the Laos map from this site.
Any suggestions on routes, places to see, things to do? While we are both on the dark side of 50 we both have considerable experience in riding, on and off road both here and in Malaysia.
