Biking Along the Mekong River in South East Asia
By Alain Frydman

The South East part of Asia is one of the most promising areas when you want to enjoy real ecotourism, visit preserved natural locations, discover unique cultural treasures and past temples, monuments and sculptures. Biking at a slow pace along the road is one of the best way to travel and meet real people. To rent a bike and go alone in such far away place could be intimidating especially on your first trip in Asia. The best solution is to follow an English speaking guided tour, like the one the travel agent exotissimo may offer you.

You will travel on two wheels from the southern islands of LAOS to the temple-rich countryside of CAMBODIA. The roads are quiet and relatively flat. Cycling give you an extraordinary opportunity to better approach the people, know their culture and enjoy the beautiful scenery. At your arrival in Bangkok, you will be transferred to the small town of Ubon Rashantani on the laotian border and in the middle of the Mekong river. This area is known as "Siphandon", which means "Four Thousands Islands" and is protected as a National Park Area.

You will peacefully travel on quiet roads and cross numerous small villages where smiling kids will run alongside your bike. In Cambodia you will marvel at the plethora of temples and wildlife encountered along the way. Finally, you will arrive in SIEM REAP with the ultimate reward to discover the magnificent ANGKOR VAT temples.

Bargain Prices: The low season in Southeast Asia extend from May through October. The weather didn't change much except from the short refreshing afternoon rain shower. It's cleaning the atmosphere and the landscape appears brighter with rich lush colors. A perfect time for shooting your best photos! If you chose the low season, you may get a very good price for your adventure travel. Hope you will enjoy it!
