SE Asia Resources
How We’re Planning:
We’ve been reading these helpful websites on bike touring & Southeast Asia:
- The Vagabonds – after touring in their VW bus for a few years, they switch to bicycles. Lots and lots of practical info, routes, and pictures.
- Silkwheels – another site offering great daily route details and tips gained from experience.
- Lonely Planet’s Thorntree Forums, Thailand branch, SE Asia Mainland branch
- The Crazy Guy on a Bike site is a huge resource of trip journals and forums
Maps & Books
Dave’s a total map fiend, and Michelle is starting to be one too. We’re getting set up with maps and books to plan as well as take with us for day-to-day reference. Here’s what we’ve got so far:

- Waterproof Thailand Map by ITMB
- Laos & Cambodia Travel Reference Map
