January will see yet another venture by many Thai scooterists setting off from Bangkok heading north and across the meanest terrain into Lao
Where the terrain the gets increasingly difficult and hills even steeper there are 5 over night stops in Phon, just north of Korat. Vientiene just over the Thai Lao border
Which is where the fun will really start? Some of the steepest and narrowest roads in the world climb and twist round the hills and mountains from the third overnight stop at Ban Wathen to Louangphabang.which is the 4 overnight stop. Things get interesting here as a boat trip is involved! Back on to dry land heading east from Pakbeng and back into Thailand to the last over night stop at Phrae then back to Bangkok
There will be full details of this Cannon Ball run as soon as I can get the translations done
If you fancy some adventure on two wheels contact ASAP for full details
The basic costs of this trip has been calculated at around 13 to 15 thousand baht per head and scooter (not including scooter hire) which includes accommodation, food and fuels/oils all paperwork for boarder crossings ,insurance, ferry tolls etc etc
