oklah..not as bad as i thot..usu juz drive up hatyai...then bored with hatyai..tried samui..nex tink mayb phuket..or further up..

[Tarzan666]

end of the journey..the biker appears more energetic than the car driver & passengers.

koh samui is ok..some of my biker frds even rode up 2 laos,cambodia etc...more hardcore.

[Pisces69]

Wah Laos.

 

Make sure u have a good road bike then. Can imagine doing that with a scrambler.

 

Also must have a tyre repair kit handy. Otherwise must push bike from Sadao to Hatyai.

 

After trip, hands & leg muscles look like Popeye's.

I confirm will not die. My wife and kids confirm decayed to bones.
