HOW TO CROSS BORDERS?

To avoid being bothered, the basic rule is to buy a motorcycle with a Vietnamese plate. You can buy it in Vietnam, but you will also find in Laos or Cambodia no problem, because many “motorcyclists” end their trip and resell their motorcycle in these countries.

Some customs officers being corrupt, you will sometimes have to pay a bribe to spend with your bike. (See our tips to avoid problems with customs officers and the list of the most common border scams ).

It is theoretically possible to enter Thailand with a motorcycle from Laos or Cambodia, but it is very complicated. Indeed, your name must appear on the blue card, which involves lengthy steps in Vietnam to put the bike in your name.

In addition, the Thai authorities will ask you to fill out shipping information, a crew list, a passenger list and a temporary import and export form. In practice, it is very rare for travelers to continue their motorcycle journey from Laos or Cambodia to Thailand.

Cambodia border – Vietnam

You can cross by motorbike via one of these five border posts:

Bavet / Moc Bai
Kaam Samnor / Ving Xuong
Phnom Den / Tinh Good
Prek Chak / Xa Xia
The Thanh / O Yadao crossing

Laos border – Vietnam

You can cross a motorbike via one of these six border posts:

Sop Hun / Tay Trang
Na Maew / Nam Xoi
NamCan / Nam Khan
Nam Phao / Cau Treo
Dansavanh / Lao Bao
Bo Y / Ngoc Hoi

Laos border – Cambodia

There is only one border post to cross on motorbikes:

Veun Kham / Dom Kralor

Beware, although nothing legally prohibits passage with a motorcycle between Laos and Cambodia, corruption is a real problem at this border post. Some backpackers have been denied passage.

visas

Depending on the country, you may need a visa to enter the territory.

Laos: You must obtain a visa on arrival valid for 30 days. It costs $ 30.
Cambodia: You need a visa that will be valid for 30 days. You can get your visa on arrival ($ 30) or ask for an e-visa ($ 37) before arriving at the border (which avoids having to pay a “supplement” to the customs officer)

Vietnam: You can stay 15 days in the country without a visa. If you plan to stay longer, you can apply for a 30-day e-visa (€ 25) before you arrive. You can also make a visa on arrival that can be valid for 30 or 90 days for one or more entries ($ 45 to $ 95). See our visa file for Vietnam .

HOW TO DRIVE IN SOUTHEAST ASIA?

Must I already know how to ride a motorcycle?

No, it is not mandatory. Many travelers drive a motorcycle for the first time in South East Asia. They are very easy to take in hand and the person to whom you buy it will teach you willingly to drive and shift gears. However, if it is the first time you drive a motorcycle, be very careful on the road, especially in big cities.

If possible, avoid driving in a location with heavy traffic or rush hour traffic. If you want to put all the chances on your side to avoid having an accident, you can pass your motorcycle license at home, before leaving.

Safety on the road

In shorts, flip-flops and without a helmet, the perfect example of what not to do

Do not hide it, driving a motorcycle in Southeast Asia is dangerous. The traffic can be dense, the code of the road is little respected, the roads are sometimes in very bad state and are slippery when they are wet or dusty.

In Laos and Cambodia, there are not many people and people drive quite quietly. In Vietnam, however, you will face a real swarm of scooters. They tumble from everywhere in the big cities.

The road along the coast of Vietnam is also very busy. Apart from the Hue – Danang section which offers beautiful scenery, it is better to take the road that passes inside the country. The traffic is much quieter there.

Here are some tips to minimize the risk of accidents:

Choose a good helmet and always drive with it, even if it’s hot.
Do not leave part of your body apparent. Wear a jacket, pants and closed shoes.
Do not put your bag too far in the back of your luggage rack, it will unbalance your bike. It must be between the saddle and the luggage rack.
Do not drive too fast and pay attention to the road constantly.
Never drive at night.
Take breaks regularly.
Do not drive when you are too tired and / or drunk.
Always drive as far to the right as you can from the road, as the vehicles in front of you have an unfortunate tendency to bite on your side of the road.
On descents, especially on wet, sandy or dusty roads, downshift to use your engine brake.
Do not brake too sharply, especially with your front brake.

Follow the rule of “the biggest vehicle wins”. Act as if cars and trucks always take precedence over you.
When a vehicle is doubling in front of you, it will sometimes be necessary to deport you on the roadside. Decelerate to avoid slipping.
You will often see motorcycles or scooters driving against the meaning. Be vigilant and obviously do not do like them.
The locals have the unspoken rule of dealing only with what is going on in front of them. Again, do not look like them and look around.
Do not hesitate to use your horn to warn of your approach, indicate that you double, etc. In South East Asia, the use of the horn is an integral part of the driving style and often replaces the use of mirrors.
Really slow down when approaching speed bumps (groups of five or ten transverse white lines). They can be very slippery.
Pay particular attention to debris on the road, potholes and stray animals.

TRAVELING TO VIETNAM MOTORBIKE, LAOS AND CAMBODIA

Motorcycles are the most used means of transportation for people in Southeast Asia. Many travelers therefore choose to discover the region by bike.

Navigating the countryside, coast and mountains of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia on your motorcycle is perhaps the best way to explore these countries.

In this folder, we explain in detail how to buy your bike yourself and move to Southeast Asia.

WHY TRAVEL ON A MOTORCYCLE?

Advantages

Driving in the open air, in the winding mountain roads, in the midst of beautiful scenery or in the crazy traffic of the big Asian cities is a unique experience that provides a good dose of adrenaline.

Traveling on a motorbike allows you to explore more easily the most remote corners, where public transport does not go. Unlike the bus, you always have a 180 ° panoramic view and can stop when you want to enjoy the scenery or take pictures.

You are also closer to the locals. You ask for directions, talk during your stops and are invited to exchange with garage owners to maintain and repair your vehicle.

The motorcycle is an extremely flexible means of transport. You can easily change programs, make a detour, stay longer in a place you like or shorten your stay and quickly go to your next destination.

You are not constrained by public transport schedules and can visit countries at your own pace. It is also a relatively inexpensive means of transportation because a used motorcycle is not expensive and does not consume a lot of fuel.

The inconvenients

The motorcycle trip is not only a part of pleasure. You have to deal with sometimes chaotic traffic, pollution, accident risks and bad weather.

You must also pay attention to where you leave your vehicle when you are not on it so you do not fly it.

It is a fairly lonely means of transport, because even if you travel to several you can not discuss when you drive.

Traveling on a motorcycle can also be tiring. You must be constantly attentive and can not rest like in a bus or plane.

You will also face additional costs to go to the islands, because you then need to transport or store your bike.

I am afraid of culture shock

Even if you are an open-minded person, it is possible that the confrontation with poverty and a culture very different from yours will destabilize you. Cultural shock usually occurs a few weeks after arrival in a country. At first, you are fascinated by this new culture, but after a while, some things that seemed normal to you become unacceptable to you. You feel betrayed and it generates frustration and anxiety in you. No worries, it’s a normal process. To minimize it, find out about the countries you visit, prepare yourself mentally and plan to stay in touch with your loved ones.

I will be homesick

It is possible that you have a little blues after a few weeks or months of travel. Your loved ones will miss you and you will have a little negative vision of your trip. Certain circumstances, such as an event in your family (birth, marriage, death …) or the fact that you are very attached to your loved ones, can amplify homesickness. Traveling too fast can also be a cause, as you will lose some of your bearings. In this case, ask yourself a moment in a place where you feel good. Homesickness often goes away as quickly as it came.

To travel is to flee the real life

For some, there may be a part of flight in wanting to travel. It is sometimes an argument of your family that is afraid to see you go so far and so long. The click that pushes you to go around the world can come from a breakup, the death of a loved one, a dismissal … The trip is not the miracle solution to solve all your problems, but it can be a great source of personal enrichment. It is often also a nice parenthesis which allows to relativize your problems.

I will feel lonely

One of the biggest obstacles to traveling for single people is the fear of leaving alone. Many think of finding a traveling companion before departure, but ultimately very few do. In fact, many tourdumondists, women or men, go solo. Paradoxically, traveling alone favors meetings. You have to go to others. It may seem odd to you if you have not traveled a lot yet, but when you go solo, you finally spend quite a bit of time alone. And, if you are a natural introvert, this is a great way to overcome your shyness.

Are we going to support each other?

For couples, it’s more the opposite question: “Will we get to live together h24 without farting the lead?” There, we can not guarantee you a success rate of 100%. We have heard about couples who broke during a world tour. But it’s finally quite rare and often there was already some tension before departure. In most cases, the couple comes out reinforced. Sharing so many extraordinary experiences is a unique binder.

I am afraid for the education of children

Leaving with children means no school, often during a school year. However, families of Turdumondists do not give up the education of their children. Parents usually give a few hours of lessons a day during the trip. Sometimes the teacher is even seduced by the project and agrees to do a little remote monitoring.

WHAT ARE THE BARRIERS THAT PREVENT YOU FROM STARTING?

How many people dream one day to go around the world, but never act? Indeed, it is very easy to find excuses to postpone this project, sometimes indefinitely. Here are the excuses that come up most often.

It’s too expensive

On average, a round the world costs € 15,000, but this is only an average. Tourdumondists arrive to travel a year with a budget of less than 7 000 €, limiting the number of plane tickets and choosing countries in which life is not expensive. In some parts of the world it is possible to travel with less than 10 € per day.

Even without a great salary, it is quite possible to put money aside by limiting as much as possible all your superfluous expenses: living in a roommate or at your parents’ home, traveling by bike or public transport, limiting your going out to bars and restaurants, quitting … everything is a matter of priority.

It’s too dangerous

When you look at the news on TV, you sometimes have the impression of living in a world so hostile that you do not have to leave home. The website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is also quite alarmist. Of course, some areas or countries are to be avoided. But they are finally quite few.

It is in fact mainly a fear of the unknown. The barrier of the tongue scares. But in reality, in most countries of the world, you can travel by simply applying the basic safety rules. Of the thousands of Turdumondists who leave each year, very few are victims of problems that actually endanger their physical integrity.

It’s bad for my career

Going around the world is not seen by employers as a sign of a lack of motivation. On the contrary, it is often a positive point on a resume. Someone who has made a long trip usually has initiative, has good resistance to stress and has a good ability to adapt. It’s appreciated by the employers. Most Tourdumondists find work quite quickly on their return.

You can also take a sabbatical leave or put yourself on standby and thus have the assurance of finding your job when you return. A world tour can also be an opportunity to mature a new professional project, such as starting a business or starting a business.

I do not know where to start organizing myself

For some, planning a world tour seems insurmountable. Indeed, it takes a little organization, but nothing really bad. Our site is here to help you. We did a detailed schedule of tasks to be done each month before departure. Our thematic files should normally answer almost every question you ask yourself. And if that’s not enough, you can ask your questions to other tourdumondists in our community on Facebook .

To discover other ways of living

To have time

When we ask someone how they are, how often do we hear “It’s a bit of a race right now!”? We live permanently at one hundred per hour. We go on, transport, work, shopping, cleaning, outings, holidays, without really taking time for ourselves. When we make a long trip, the relationship to time and totally different. There are no more constraints. You can take the time to do a two-week trek if you want to, admire a sunset or do nothing, simply.

To be free

When traveling, we do not have to answer to anyone: no leader to ask us where is our project. There is almost no time constraint and nothing attaches us to a place. Every day everything is possible. This freedom of the traveler is deeply felt. It’s an exhilarating sensation that usually appears after a few months, when you realize that this trip is more than just a vacation.

We are free to change plans as we want, maybe even zap a program country. We no longer have the social pressure that encourages us to behave as people expect it. One is free to be oneself, simply.

To disconnect

How many hours do we spend in front of a screen for a day? Computer, tablet, smartphone, we constantly have our eyes riveted on it. We need our regular dose of notifications: email, Facebook, Snapchat … Travel is a great way to leave our cyber-life a little to discover that the real world is not bad either.

It’s still fun to watch the stars, no?

To discover other ways of living

Traveling around the world, we meet people from very different cultures who share with us their conception of the world, their values, their spirituality and their way of life. Doing couchsurfing or woofing allows you to get a better idea of the daily life of people from the countries you visit. It’s an unparalleled personal enrichment. It inevitably gains greater openness and a better understanding of the world and its operation. The meetings challenge our own models.

To meet other travelers

In our day-to-day life, we tend to rub shoulders with people who are ultimately very similar to us. Traveling allows you to get out of your social context. It is much easier to go to others when we know that we will probably never see them again. A world tour is therefore conducive to meetings, sometimes even in love.

To see beautiful places

A life is not enough to see all the places in the world that one dreams of visiting just by taking a vacation. Go around the world is to see the wonders of nature and those built by man. We feel the place using its five senses. They are discovered in their cultural and geographical context. You can see what is outside the postcard. It is often believed to have already seen everything through the prism of screens, but many incredible wonders are still unknown, completely ignored by the media. The pleasure of surprise is still possible. It’s exhilarating to play the explorer and even, why not, to follow in the footsteps of true adventurers.
