Overview

Explore Real Indochina By Bike– 40 Days – The trip will start in Bangkok where mountain bikes are prepared and the guide will brief on the cycling tour. From the border to Pailin, the road is dirt with some potholes as well as from Pailin to Battambang. From Battambang to Siem Reap, we will cross Tonle Sap lake by boat. Real Vietnam, Laos by bike is the best way. We ride on asphalt roads and singletracks and sometimes broken road or vehicle-width dirt roads, which may be smooth, gritty, stony, rocky, rutted, loose, or hard-packed. The 85km from Pailin to Battambang is probably the worst road but still interesting things to see along the road.
