wow that sounds amazing! Why do you not enter Laos more in the north and go south into Cambordia like we do? Because if you go to Malaysia and Indonesia would be easier for you!
of course we have plenty of information for malaysia for you but we haven't been to Indonesia yet. We started off in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) and went north into Thailand to Phuket and followed all along the Burma border to the north here. The last 3 days we finished the Hong Soon loop they call, and it is the best thing to do with the bike...
to complete it takes you 3 days and you have over 3000 cuts and curves to do, including climbing mountains up to 1500 meters. It is incredible and a must do thing to do in Thailand.
what about skype tonigt? Just sent me a text message today when we can skype, because we leave to the tiger kingdom now to cattle some big cats and baby ones :-)
take care and I hope we can have a chat tonight and catch up soon somewhere...

Mario

Hey guys,

that would be great when we can catch up! I just tried to call you on mobile, but I think you are on the bike right now :-)
I think the best thing is that we have a chat on the phone where to met, or via skype. But mobile would be best I think...
because of the visa for Laos we thought going to Khon Kaen first, there is an Laos embassy and get the visa in the passport fist. That will save a lot of hassle on the border to cross into Laos...
what do you think? Just give us a call or I try again later. We cant wait to catch up with you and share our experience!

Take care and see you soon!

Mario & Yvonne

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.
