Northern Laos Jan 08 Going places we missed before : We've ridden a couple of times in this area before, but wanted to go back and ride some of the back roads we had previously missed. some were on the map and some were not. The weather was a real mixed bag. This time of the year it is not supposed to rain, but this was not to be the case. Heavy fog, cold and some light drizzel was to be expected, but the Rain, made conditons in some places a bit more exciting then planned. And then there was also the flat tire - glad we carry spares and tools.

The last ride of 07 Back side of Chiang Rai. : Some of this road is on the map and some of it is not. Previously we had tried to ride coming from the other direction, but found the going too difficult in that we were riding our 1150GS. So we decided to give this area another go, but take the smaller 650. Great way to spend the last day of the year!!

Cambodia & Laos Dec. - Jan 2006-07 : This was a five week trip on the BMW 650GS/Dakar. We entered Cambodia in the Northern sector just North of Anlong Veng.From there East across the top and then crossed back and headed South to Siem Reap and the temples of Angkor. From there we headed down to the southern bottom of Cambodia to the Viet Nam border. We then headed to the very north eastern sector of Cambodia and crossed into Laos. In Laos we headed north up through the country and crossed back into Thailand in the top left corner by crossing the Mekong to home. While riding in Southern Laos we attempted to stay as far to the easten edge along the Viet Nam border as possible.

Laos trip December 2005 part one : We did this trip with our good friend David E. who lives in Chiang Mai. Primarily we did the roads in the very northern reaches of Laos, where we had not been able to go with our BMW1150RT road touring bike while riding in Laos last March. From our home here in Chiang Khong, on the Mekong River it was just a short ferry ride across the river and then off up into Northern Laos. From the Mekong River to the China border it is only, just over 200 kilometers. Most all the road construction in these photos are of the roads being built by the Chinese to access Laos down to the Mekong river crossing and then here into Thailand via a new bridge that will soon be under way.
