LAOS is a country worth discovering, and the encounters with the local population in remote villages are fantastic. The scenery is superb, and the trails that follow the ridge lines offer superb views. The day's rest in Louang Prabant was welcome, given the chronology of the trip, but also, and above all, given that the town deserved a day off, and the cooking class was just perfect. What we lack in general is advice for female pilots or passengers. From a price point of view, we find that the difference in price between the driver and the passenger is far too small, we don't understand why, the price of accommodation for 1 or 2 shouldn't vary that much, let's not talk about the price of meals, and there's no extra motorcycle. Finally, I think that this trip should only be considered as a trip to Laos, and that the THai part is only a link to reach Laos.

My trip lived up to my expectations…

My trip corresponded to my expectations and to what was landscapes, motorcycle rides, encounters with local people and their welcome in remote villages. The only downside was that a Himalayan 410 would have been more appropriate for Laos, with its very poor road network and lots of off-road riding, much to my delight. Lots of good memories

It was a magnificent adventure, with extraordinary landscapes, meeting an authentic rural population in Laos, but also a more urban population in Thailand, all in a zen context (hardly a honk in 12 days!). A truly wonderful experience. With a group of bikers sharing the same expectations, which facilitated group spirit. It was great. Can't wait for the next trip with Vinted.

Your choices in terms of motorcycles AND hotels are two black spots, it's a shame because otherwise it's a great adventure.
Vintage Rides' response

Merci pour votre retour Nicolas. Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié l’aventure, les paysages et l’accompagnement de notre équipe sur place. Nous prenons bien en compte vos remarques. Comme mentionné lors de notre appel, concernant l’hébergement à Luang Prabang, notre hôtel habituel n'a pas pu confirmer notre réservation, aussi nous avons sélectionné un hôtel qui semblait de niveau équivalent. Nous essayons toujours de proposer les meilleures options disponibles, même dans les zones plus reculées. Nous regrettons que ça n’a pas été le cas, malgré nos efforts pour chercher une alternative satisfaisante. J'espère que le dîner offert en compensation ont atténué ce désagrément et vous ont tout de même permis de continuer à profiter de votre voyage. Quant au choix des motos, nous avons l’habitude de faire rouler notre flotte de Classic 350 car c’est une moto légère, maniable et adaptée aux itinéraires mixtes que nous proposons, qui alternent routes et pistes. Elle est également fiable et facile à entretenir en cas de problème mécanique, ce qui est un critère clé dans des régions reculées où l’accès aux pièces de rechange peut être limité. Merci encore pour votre franchise, et au plaisir de vous retrouver sur un prochain tour. L’équipe Vintage Rides.

I'm still a big fan of your concept and I talk about it a lot around you, in a positive way of course. It's a superb concept for discovering countries that combine a passion for motorcycling.

I loved this trip, which was my first motorcycle trip as a passenger. Great encounters with trip participants, and our adorable French and Laotian guides. A perfect balance between the road, which was sometimes quite physical, especially on the off-road days, and the arrival in real oases, with the comfort of the places, the swimming pool quite often, the possibility of access to massages, the delicious food, in short everything you need to get going again early in the morning with a smile on your face and the desire for it to never end. The activities that punctuated the days on the road were welcome and very enjoyable, as were the encounters with the local people. Travelling by motorcycle is a delight, not only because it's a motorcycle, but also because it offers an exceptional human adventure through the closeness it brings to nature, the air, the water, the smells and the smiles and looks shared with people!

It was a wonderful road trip…
