The tour starts in Chiangmai the centre of Northern Thailand from where we are riding on enjoyable twisty roads to the Golden Triangle. The Frontier of Thailand, Laos and Myanmar where we get the biggest river in South East Asia - River Khong. We will cross the river and have a well deserved rest in Northern Lao for the night after an exciting riding day.
Our journey continues to Dien Bien Phu a province situated in the northern part of Vietnam which was a war zone for many years but now it is part of history. Now you can explore the city and enjoy the history that this part of the world offers to you. It is amazing to see how people’s lives have changed after the war.
Our ride continues to Sapa. A very small province in the northern part of Vietnam which was very popular for expats who worked in Vietnam when it was a French Colony. In Sapa you can expect cooler weather as it is situated in the high mountain with the highest peak called 'Phan Xi Pang'.
