I had a new touring bike built for me by Triple Cats Cycle in Chiang Mai, Thaland. Since I live in Siem Reap, Cambodia I through the best way to get it back was to take little tour through Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia. This video shows my tour over the two month+ time that it took me to get back home during the rainy season. I did a few things along the way that have been on my bucket list for a while like taking the slow boat to Luang Prabang, Laos from the Thailand border.
