hi,
was there this summer for a month. we did a 4 month trip in southeast on 250 cc motorbikes. i guess it depends on wich bike you bring. around tonle sap and to sihanoukville is oke. coming fom loas to krachi is half paved, half dirt/stones. coming from thaiborder to siemreap is still a mightmare i heard, we took te way south direction koh chang island, a dirt road with small ferryboats and lots of mudfun.
the roads to sen monorom and ban lung are dusty (if dry) but very doable on every bike i guess. the problem is if it starts raining there. dont know the septembermonths in southeast. i was lucky to reach tbeang meanchey and prasat preah vihear but it was way to muddy and dangerous to go to prasat khan in july. there is a nice dirtroad (tollroad) going to koh ker...
anyway, its going to depand on the weather i guess. i prefered the north and the roads in the east. krachi is small but nice (go and see the dolphins) and go do some dirtdriving around sen monorom. theres a nice waterfalls there..
enjoy it and write me how it was in september....

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
