South East Asia starting in Vietnam (Jan 2015)
 

Hi all. :)

Arriving Vietnam early January and plan to explore the country (will buy a local bike) then venture to Cambodia, Northern Thailand, Myanmar and Laos. Returning to Viet after that.

I would love to join up with fellow riders and always happy to meet up for a Beer/ride along the way. I have flexibility because 3 months on the road.

I'm in that area whole January! Might join you for a ride if I can find a very cheap local bike! :D

Edit: I was wrong and have 5 weeks. 10th of January till 16 Feb. Will it be worth it (cost wise) to buy something really cheap - an old Wave or Dream perhaps rather than a proper bike- and driving it from Bangkok to Hanoi? And selling it there? through Laos, not Cambodia.

Fortune and Glory, kid. Fortune and Glory.

Sounds excellent Blommetje, timing is good, though you'll be travelling in the opposite direction to me by the sound of it. From what I've read so far it looks like it is very difficult to take a motorcycle into Vietnam. Have you checked this out? Might be better to sell your cheap bike before leaving Thailand, or else hire one. I've done that a couple of times myself in the past.

Thinking about the Vietnamese border issue - I am wondering if it will be a problem to take my Vietnamese bike back into Vietnam. Does anyone know? Something more I need to check out!
