South East Asia - Thailand To Yunnan To Vietnam
Hi all. Trying to plan a 2-3 week trip from Thailand through southern China (Yunnan) and down to Vietnam. First thought is to buy a bike in Chang Mai and sell before leaving Vietnam. Has anyone done anything like this? Can foreigners buy bikes in Thailand? What are those border crossings like? Is 2-3 weeks (about as long as my rear end can take!) reasonable - given the distance involved and road conditions I can expect? Finally, I was thinking of putting in shortly after Tet. Is that a good time to do the trip?
Thanks all. Looking forward to any thoughts.
Tony
