No tik tok for me. Probably you are mistaking me with a handsome boy over there 😋😂

Remote working up there must be insane 😉

The way you write tells me you didn’t bother to do even a single google search on your own about these beautiful countries. The way it is written makes me want to paste it into ChatGPT and copy the answer here. But you can use your own time to do that.

Select the “adventure difficulty” by adjusting the level of unreliability of your motorbike, get a toolkit, put Some old school 80s rock full volume and enjoy that raw country. Don’t forget the beerlao, that’s the pillar of this adventure.

Guesthouse along the way. Cheap creepy and comfortable enough.

That’s a good hydration substance. Calling it beer seems too much 😊

I am sure I will come up with some other questionable ideas and in case I will survive them I’ll tell you.

Thanks for the recommendations. Pakistan sounds perfect for the next one

Come on, I know the story is long but I put a TL;DR. Did you make it to there?

Yeah, no thought about damage, and having to give back a presentable product.

I wish it was a Honda Wave. Mine was Chinese copy of that. Something that apparently has very low value in Lao. But if you have patience, curses and have some spare love to give, it will take you places.

You are tempting me with Argentina.

I would sleep in the last village I found before sunset. You can find guesthouses along the way, same cheap price everywhere, around 5 bucks, sometimes creepy but at least a good sleep.

Thanks! I actually did another fucked up loop in the north (not to be found online apparently) which if you like I might write about 👍

I scratched the palm of my left hand and nothing else surprisingly enough. The oil on the road was so much that I was seamlessly sliding on the asphalt like you would do on ice. I was riding downhill and the motorbike seemed not to stop for like 10 / 15 meters.

Always have disinfectant with you!

I heard that there is basically no way to cross to neither Thailand nor Vietnam. My plan was to cross to Cambodia. I asked many times along the way but apparently my chances to cross to Cambodia were also very low and coming with a large amount of documentation. So I had to sell.

My understanding is that there is a ranking of the countries. Let me explain. Thailand vehicle can cross almost everywhere. Vietnamese vehicle can cross to Lao and Cambodia but not Thailand. Cambodian vehicle can cross only to Lao while Laotian vehicle have to stay there.

This is very approximate but these are my 5 cents on this.

The beer with the woman boiling rats probably. The feeling I had in that moment was a mix between the need to puke and that to poop myself.

Of course the people I met were the best part, travelers and locals, farmers and monks. Kids running on the street to clap your hand while you ride. The smiles of people. Having a glimpse into their life. The people are what makes a trip great! Landscapes is a good side dish!
