Now dates are starting to firm I am keen to make some contacts to assist each other with cost sharing through the typical problem countries!

I plan on LEAVING Myanmar into India on the 25/04/2018 to meet up with a friend in India to ride through India and Nepal (Himalayas and mountainous regions) for a month and a half.
That being said i would be looking for humans in arms to accompany and share costs for anywhere between 7-14 days in Myanmar (so entering Myanmar from Thailand between 11-18/04/2018) , Transit time (2-3days) from Laos to Myanmar through Thailand, Laos and Cambodia if we enjoy each others company enough, and again Transit through Thailand (2-3 days) From Malaysian border through to Cambodian border.

I will firm dates for the Thai side of things if i get some interested parties.

I would like to spend more time in Thailand but the costs of doing so with a motorcycle and guide just seem stupid expensive at the moment! I am thinking about devising a plan to transport the bike to storage at the border, hiring scooters to burn around on for a few weeks, organising for the bike to be at the Cambodian border when i leave, then once I get to the Laos/Thai Border, doing a transit tour from there to Myanmar to start the Myanmar Tour.

Anyone is welcome to join on any part of this leg!

Entry to India is a hard date however anything through Malaysia - Thailand - Cambodia - Laos - Thailand is not at the moment unless I have inmates with solid dates that I can join up with to reduce costs.

Thailand's restrictions really have been a thorn in my side as it is basically the gatekeeper for my onward travels its very frustrating as I don't enjoy bleeding money however anyone willing to share in my pain is welcome

Anyone is welcome on my trip, I am an Australian leaving Canberra on 01/01/2018 to be in Darwin to ship to Dili two weeks later. From Dili the usual island hop through Indonesia to catch the Onion Boat onward to Malaysia!

From India it will be Pakistan-Iran-Turkey-Greece then through Europe to meet a friend to travel through Europe for a while! From there it will be Africa then once I've decided I can't go back to my old life it will be shipped to South america to continue the adventure.

Look forward to hearing from you guys!

Ben.
