Have recently handed in my notice period at work and managed to blag 5 weeks off before starting my next job so thought I'd go away for a bit.
Doing a quick whipround of Thailand and Laos ideally in hostels but will be taking a tent for those times you need one.
In hindsight it is a bit silly judging by the weather (35 highs) but am looking forward to crossing some pretty rural parts of Laos.
Am in the middle of setting up the touring bike and am a little torn over tyre choice. Want to be able to cover a fair distance each day but also want to be prepared for the worst. After driving a moped around Vietnam you realise that main roads are not always that well maintained!
Below is my route, with red for trains and airplanes, and green for the cycling.
