Laos Cambodia.
Hi, I have travelled quite a bit round Lao and Cambodia, though ita a few years ago now and things change very quickly. A lot of the roads I rode were dirt and now are surfaced. Kho Kong to P.P, Bokor mountain...Most of the main routes are now surfaced. Two up on a Honda, sure its possible but doesn't leave much room for belongings ( the rear seat frame breaks quite easily if used on the rough two up. Minska are not that common in Lao or Cambodia so not much infrastructure to fix them. My mate hired a Honda Baja $10 per day. He fell off ...marked the bike. Shop owner had been called out to fix some bikes he had hired out ( hirers had filled them with Diesel). Spotted mates bike..found us and asked if it would be ok to service it and check it over..never mentioned marks/damage. Neither of us broke down..a puncture each collected while riding in less rural areas..nail and pop rivet respectivly. You will have problems crossing borders since the hirer normally insists on your passport...afraid theve been scammed too often by tourists...
just my twopence worth.
