- In the summer of 2014, I left my home in Nong Khai, Thailand and began a 3,000km journey across Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand. This is a chronological video about that experience, set to some great music.

Ordinary clothes, ordinary bike, extraordinary journey. Well done, my friend.
Hats off to you! Thanks for making an epic journey and a great video where you didn't put yourself front and centre but instead showed us the countries you went through from your visual perspective.
Great soundtrack!
Thank you for your comment. I wanted viewers to imagine themselves on the journey so I tried to show myself as little as possible. Thanks again.
I live in Canada. This truly explains what it is to be an ultra-cyclist. AWESOME video. Thank you.
Very beautiful, thank you for sharing...
Cool video
Amazing video ..
awesome vid! What a beautiful trip!!
Amazing and beautifully filmed.
I am pretty sure you had an amazing trip. Have myself been biking parts of Laos , Cambodia and Thailand. Most recent longer trip was from Yangon to Mandalay. Fantastic people, not so great roads. But then again, all the people we met when having problems with our bikes :) Thanks for sharing.
Adventures! Travel in SE Asia where the weather is temperate all year long and a lot cheap food and water everywhere, so no need to pack much . There have been a few who use only 1 pannier to carry stuffs . I like to bundle in to plastic bag and use bungee cord to strap securely. to prevent from knocking off from going over pot hole and thieves. Nice video.
awesome man! ride safe.
So inspiring! Hope to do a trip similar to this soon, love the music btw :)
Jessica Alvarez Thank you, Jessica! Hope you're able to go. It's a lot of work but worth it. Take care.
Hands down, great video, great trip. I'd like to do a similar trip...would you mind sharing your precise roadmap?

Wow! Really enjoyed your trip.Would love to do it one day :)
Love music so much.
awnsome ! ill gonna do a trip similar to this soon, your music is really great!
You did a great job editing and music selection.... Less than a year I'll be retiring and my goal is to bicycle tour across the U.S.A., then south through Central and South America before heading to S.E. Asia and do a tour similar to yours.... thanks for the great video....
I bicycled around the world and loved Thailand so much that I stayed for a year before continuing on and returned by bike to Canada.
I enjoyed your video, it brought back some memories from 2013/2014.
Nice man. I am in Thailand now .
So much footage, editing must have been a nightmare ha. Awesome trip, planning to do the same here in a couple of months!
Good times :D ive cycled up the Hi Van Pass , its not so bad ;) coming down was much better!! Love Vietnam with a passion, its beautiful
Hi,
I have seen your CZcams video about cycling trip in VietNam and I have a
few questions regarding logistics.

which airline?
how much did the extra baggage cost?
was it hard to get a box to fly it back out?
did you find any professional bike shops that were helpful?
were you able to find parts easily?
tires? CO2 canisters?
what did you use for directions?
GPS? paper map?
did you have cell service everywhere?
did you rely on satelliete GPS app?
was it safe to have street-vendor food?
were there enough gas stations along the roads in order to get bottled water?
How did you find accommodations?
Did you stay in local hotels? motels?
was it necessary to book in advance?
was it easy to find one without reservations?
how did you find decent hotels without reservations?
Google maps?
average price per night?
did hotels/motels have decent facilities like hot-water showers?
were the road pretty bad?
did you need mountain-bike tires to survive the roads?
did you have many flat tires?
what season were you there at?
when is the dry season there?

with locating restaurants and hotels?
did you meet many foreign cyclists there?
Thank you

Great video thanks for sharing' I done lots of Skitching when in Vietnam also :))
skitching is hitching a ride holding in to vehicles if you don't know that' don't want you thinking it's something seedy
Very nice video. I also did a trip in February-March 2015. Starting in Nong Khai and followed the Mekong river south to Mukdahan. I entered into Laos west of Pakse and continued down south to Cambodia before turning west again to Thailand. I was kind of planning a new ride next year 2016 also in february. How is cycling in North Laos?Is it easy to find places to stay overnight?
nice
I'm from Cambodia
cool video , and I really like the first song.. I am going to do the cycling from the beginning of November 2017,from Lijiang,China /laos/thailand/malaysia/singpore/combodia/vietnam hope everything is gonna be alright
Hi! You on the road now ?
Good
bicyclist hero !
Nice trip ! Can I know the dimensions of you tire ? Especially the width
you missed the biggest one of them all, The Philippines! Ive been there 6+ times, Malaysia and Borneo 3+ and the ones in your video once each only. Anyway, maybe you have another video of the other countries?
Hya! Love your video. And the EDITING!!! Which software did you use please?
Awesome! I'm gonna do a similar way next year. Did you sleep in the bush many times? What about it? Did you take some transport during the way? What tips can you give me? Cheers man!
ivan2209 did you do it
Jessica Alvarez - me too am inspired. I have saying that I wanted to do it for a year and has not taken any action. I could not find a friend to do it with me ....
It is amazing and very inspiring video! I want to repeat part of your trip. But I have a question: Did you have problem with water? Did they have a free sources of clear water or you had to buy it always.
P.s. I am sorry if I didn't wrote something correctly )) I am not native english speaker.
Ok. Thanks.
Did you camp out in a tent, or sleep in homestay/hotels?
I'm planning to retire in Vietnam and want to do something similar, but will need electricity at night for my cpap machine.
Hi Brian. I stayed in guesthouses every night. Very affordable. Please check out my Kirk From Texas channel for other cycling videos and a Vietnam specific one. czcams.com/video/HNOCwDHJa60/video.html
Where do you generally stay for the night? Must be a bit freaky to camp.
Where do you find these guesthouses? Thanks in advance for your reply.
جيد
?how much the bike and your gear cost you
You don't need an expensive bike and equipment for a trip...
how many times were you sick? yeah
what is your problem when you ride a bicycle for along way?
Money if you dont have just stay at your home idiot
Would you say this is safe for a woman solo?
ไปหนองคายจะแวะไปหานะครับ
