Heh Guys, you were all great riders new and experienced ones. You all rode well and anytime i will lead you all again. What say we go for the KL-Bentong, Raub-Frazers-home ride? 1000km to and fro. Game anyone?

[faun]

Uncle, u want ride up Northern again?WHEN?

[Danesious]

Nice to know that there are ppl who organise trips for touring. Been to cherating abt 3 yrs back. Really nice place but like some say if you stay for more than 2 days it's gonna bore you.

 

Just got back from Golden Triangle with my 5 buddies as well as conquering the 1864 corners in Mae Hong Son. Most satisfying is the certificate of completion of the 1864 corners. Total mileage 6230km From Gelang Patah to Golden Triangle and back to Singapore. Been thru the entire Malaysia and all the way up to Chiang Mai, Thailand.

 

Hope some of you get make it there. It's a real tourers' dream.

[questar6381]

My dream doesn't stop at Thailand...I want to eventually reach Cambodia, and further north if possible. What's North of Cambodia btw?

It's best to get to Golden Triangle 1st b4 planning further as it is a 1st test for ur endurance riding. My dream too is to go further than thailand but it needs a lot of paperwork and politics to get us into Cambodia or Burma with our bikes. Not that it is not imposible tho. We're still checking the details as my group is planning to go further than thailand if possible. If you can get into Burma, you can even reach China or India.. Think abt that..

[Guest AngMohKia]

Uncle, u want ride up Northern again?WHEN?

 

Any where we go as long as there are bros interested to take the challenge. When,? as and when we get enuf bros to take the challenge lar!

[stan_lemieux]

Will follow Uncle Barnes up anytime ;-)

 

Lemme sort out alignment issues first... Might be just psychological, but best to get the mechanic to check it out. Any recommendations?

May I know did you complete Mae Hong Soon using your R1 or the rental kup?

 

Is it easy to get lost if I try to go on my own? Are the road signs accurate/helpful?

[Guest Mr.Black]

Hi Danesious,

I went on my R1 with another 5 frds and completed the journey with it. You would not get lost easily if you follow the map and which way to go. But it is kinda complicated as the map covers the entire Thailand. Road signs are accurate.

 

If you need to go there, I've a simplified compilation copy of the map and which way to go. If you follow my list, you will not get lost. I hope to go again someday as it is truly an amazing experience.

 

Cheers.

bro u go there use ur r1?

 

Yup.

Hi Danesious,

The situation at Hatyai is ok, peaceful. Everything is at a low period. Pattani there still have the muslim insurgents fighting against the buddhist. The rest still ok. Been there 2 yrs back.

 

If it is ur 1st time crossing the border, remember to buy road tax and insurance at the thai border not at the malaysian border as it is cheaper over at the thai border. They go by the number of days you are staying compared to malaysia when they go by months.

 

Do remember to bring ur vehicle log card as it is a must for 1st timers driving/riding over. At the thai border just put 2 ringgit in ur passport when handing over to the customs officer to ensure smooth transition. If you need further info or the simplified map to phuket, let me noe, I'll be glad to pas them to you.

 

Cheers.
