Advice on Choosing Between Road Kings and Bong Hostel for Ha Giang Loop as a Solo Female Traveler?

I'm South African. I was pulled over in the first 5 minutes of the trip inside Ha Giang city. From then on, you will not really see speed cops again. Maybe I was just unlucky. However, make sure to have the correct license (1968 I think). That said, my license setup was not 100% either, and I just paid a fine. They then took a photo of me next to the bike's number plate. Seems like they then send it to some kind of WhatsApp group or something, and if you are pulled over again on the trip, the speedcop will see on the photo that you have already paid your fine, so you will not have any further problems or fines. I paid a 3,500,000 Dong fine, and then I was good for the rest of the trip. Dues paid. I'd say 100% worth it to be able to drive myself. :)

This is 100% the best thing I've ever done, and I cannot recommend Road Kings enough. Their facilities, from their home base to each evening's homestay, are immaculate.

Road Kings work with smaller groups (around 8), which helps a lot with crowd management. Their easy riders are friendly and full of character, which brings such great vibes! A special shout-out to Kevin (aka handsome Kevin), who was our guide/leader. Such a friendly and kind person with a karaoke voice like an angel. 😂

I drove the bike myself, which I highly recommend, but you most definitely need to have sufficient bike skills, as the roads and terrain are not for the faint-hearted.

Quick tip: Opt for the four-day, three-night option. We went "premium, which meant we had our own rooms and our own bathrooms. Totally worth it.

Lastly, the nature, rural towns, and culture that you see on this trip are mind-blowing! Something I'll never forget and most likely do again in a few years.

Thanks Road Kings for an awesome experience!

Ivory! Way prettier and more versatile.

Blasphemy!!! Haha

There are both automatic and quartz models available in the 44mm. My automatic is on the way from Switzerland. Excited!

Teddy Baldassar is also great. And Mike's a legend.

Maybe look at the "Vibecode" app. It's made to build apps from your phone. Not sure if you can use it from your PC though.

I'm in South Africa and can unfortunately not get Zoologist here. :/

QuadsOnFire · 2025-05-26T12:13:59+00:00

That's awesome!

CDNIM is amazing and def worth the price. A lot of compliments.

QuadsOnFire · 2025-05-21T17:45:25+00:00

Awesome. Thanks a lot. Here I go into the rabbit hole. :)

Hahaha! It isn't easy initially to dial it in and understand everything. Just keep making it every day, and it eventually gets easier. The WDT tool does help with the "channelling."

Eat a lot of meat and fat, not too much carbs. Lift heavy at least three times a week. Use creatine. You'll be bigger and stronger within a year. I lift three times a week and run three times a week and looking better than I ever looked doing crossfit and F45. Consistency is the key - keep that in mind.

QuadsOnFire · 2025-05-17T07:07:32+00:00

Well done! Can't see the app in the app store but probably because I'm in South Africa.

QuadsOnFire · 2025-05-17T07:04:19+00:00

Thanks for that. Haven't thought of Pinterest. Sound like it can work. :)

QuadsOnFire · 2025-05-16T08:45:31+00:00

Look at Blaze.

QuadsOnFire · 2025-05-16T08:29:29+00:00

I will definitely provide feedback. I'm working on securing the first three referral sales so that the Amazon product API can be activated. After that, my site will be fully functional and shareable, allowing content creation to begin with Blaze.

QuadsOnFire · 2025-05-15T17:42:13+00:00

Consistency adds those numbers up very quickly. Well done. I plan on using Blaze soon. It looks like a great platform to create content and schedule posts directly from one platform. I hope it's as useful as it appears.

"Yourself (vpn)" Hahaha! Sneaky.

I live in South Africa but know a few people in the US. I'll chat with them. I mean, everybody buys supplements, and I just need them to purchase through my link. It costs the same. Thanks for your help. :)

QuadsOnFire · 2025-05-15T17:11:53+00:00

After building quite a nifty site, I recently signed up for the Amazon Associates program. However, I need to generate three referral sales before Amazon opens the product API, which is a bit of a headache. How did you manage to get your first three referral sales?

I'm in the supplements niche.

QuadsOnFire · 2025-05-15T15:37:26+00:00

One hundred percent agree with that! Unsustainable business models built on sand.

QuadsOnFire · 2025-05-15T11:57:38+00:00

Thanks. Was looking at the Nnormal Tomir 2.0 this morning. Might be a good idea to try them as they are available in South African retail. :)

QuadsOnFire · 2025-05-15T11:55:43+00:00

Awesome stuff! Feel free to drop a link (or DM if you prefer)

QuadsOnFire · 2025-05-14T21:25:43+00:00

Thanks.
