This tour will take me to "real Thailand", to the least developed part region of Northeast, Isaan. There the life runs at a slow pace as centuries ago and old traditions have survived the fast lane of 20th century. Starting the Ride from palm fringed sand beaches of Gulf of Thailand and turn East in direction of Cambodia. Cross the border to visit World heritage site of Angkor Wat – temples of the lost city overgrown by jungles for 5 centuries and continue ride among rice paddies of Isaan plateau to Mekong River's Emerald triangle.
Then a 1000 km ride along the mighty Mekong river follows. Scenery varies from wide slow running stream that is also a Thai - Laos border to rapids and narrow gorges. Along the way I'll visit forest Buddhist temples built on monolith rocks, waterfalls in the extreme North East, noisy Indochina markets in Nong Khai and Mukdahan, take a boat trip to Mun River rapids and pop across the border to enjoy relaxing tree-lined avenues of the capital city of Laos – Vientiane.
