Riding into Saigon. We made it to Saigon(Ho Chi Minh City) after two hard days of riding, both were close to 80 miles (79 and 77.6, respectively, to be exact). The border crossing was easy and fast and we didn’t have to pay any “passport stamping fee” like in Cambodia, so that was nice. Our […]

Phnom Penh
Four people on a scooter! We made it to Phnom Penh after 4 days of biking on the Cambodian National Highway 6. It was a little over 200 miles, mostly pretty easy riding, although we did have the worst 10 miles of the trip so far. We left Siem Reap fairly late and headed to […]
Siem Reap and Angkor Wat

That’s partly due to the incredible availability of western style food and our inability to resist splurging on the occasional […]
Pailin to Battambang to Siem Reap
We rode from Pailin to Battambang a few days ago and did about 55 miles, our first longer day in a while. The road in Cambodia is a little worse than Thailand, but it still has a good shoulder and there are less cars on the road and more scooters. The ride took us through […]
Koh Samet to Klaeng to Chanthaburi to Pong Nam Ron to Cambodia! (Pailin)
We crossed the border into Cambodia today. We still haven’t upped our mileage much beyond 30-40, but we’ve started hitting some decent hills and a really strong headwind that’s slowing us way down. We took the ferry from Koh Samet to the mainland and only made it about 20 miles before we found a nice […]
Bang Saen to Pattaya to Rayong to Koh Samet
Sorry for the infrequent updates! I’ve got my tablet with me now (left it in Kathmandu during the Nepal trek) so I tend to not want to put pictures up until I’ve gotten a chance to play with them in Adobe Lightroom, but I’m going to try to get better about just throwing stuff up […]
