A ride from Saigon – Vietnam, thru Cambodia to the mountainous areas in Northern of Thailand. Awesome ride with great buddies from Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand.

Day 1

Early departure from Saigon, as usual, heading to the familiar border gate with Cambodia.

 

Sitting here as a watchdog to protect all the ladies while everyone else having their fun time chatting 🙂

Custom clearance at Cambodia side:

 

All immigration and custom clearance done quite quickly, crossed into Cambodia:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Reaching the Neak Leung bridge, which replaced Neak Leung ferry for few years now.

 

 

 

Can stop looking at nice cars whenever riding in Cambodia:

 

 

Met up with Cambodian bikers, they will escort us during Cambodia ride and along with us for the Thailand ride as well.

 

 

They all have nice looking bikes:

 

 

They led us to a back road to avoid traffic in Phnom Penh:

 

 

 

This back road is great to me, and it will be the memory of lifetime of someone in group 🙂

 

 

A pix to tell how interesting the road was 🙂

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lunch place for the first day ride:

 

 

Back on road after lunch and a bit long rest:

 

 

The road to Cam – Thai border was great, promising a nice trip ahead:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sun was going down, quite fast…

 

 

 

From this turn, not to far to the border:

 

 

All paperworks have been done quite well, we soon checked in Thailand:

 

 

There were about 10 bikers Thailand came to border to receive us. They then led us to a dinner place about 10km from the border. Then shot another 150km to the hotel in Chanthaburi.

Nothing much for the day, just a little dust from my underwear 🙂 , carried from Cambodia, I guess 🙂

 

 

Nice chit-chat location that night:

 

 

7xx km for the first day, crossed 2 border lines:
