No entry to Vietnam
For a few years we have been slipping into Vietnam from Lao on Highway 8 despite a ban on bikes over 175cc. For some reason the customs officers at this check point didn't implement the rules. Now they do. In the last months (April-May 2002) they have been turning back all big bikes. All other Lao-Vietnam routes are blocked too, as is the Phnom Pen to Ho Chi Minh route. Things may change though.
