18 days
This eighteen day Bike Tour Asia loop starts and finishes in Chiang Mai and takes in three countries and roughly 3,500 kilometres, of which the operator describes ninety five percent as paved. The outbound leg runs through Sukhothai and Chiang Khan to cross the Friendship Bridge into Laos at Vientiane, then follows the Ho Chi Minh Trail east into Vietnam at Cua Lo Beach and north to Hanoi. Beyond Hanoi the route climbs into the mountains of the far north through Nghia Lo, the rice terraces of Sa Pa and the O Qui Ho pass to Dien Bien Phu, then crosses back into Laos at Tay Trang for Oudomxai, Luang Prabang and a Mekong ferry at Pak Beng. The return to Thailand comes at Huai Kon, with a final night at Nan. Fourteen riding days, two rest days.
