Cambodia, Laos, Thailand – 8,300 km in 31 Days

The author’s photos and anecdotes from his one-month motorcycle ride from Singapore around Thailand, Cambodia, and Laos from 1 February to 3 March, 2014. The bike is a sixteen-year old BMW 1998 R1100R with 157,000 km. There were 25 riding days, roughly a week in Thailand going north, a week in Cambodia, a week in Laos, and another week in Thailand going south. The average speed on riding days was just 55 km/h including fuel stops, water stops, photo stops, rest breaks, and border crossings. On four riding days in Cambodia and Laos the average speed was less than 37 km/h. Some days the bike hardly came out of first and second gear because the road surface was so poor.
