Day 4 Part 1 (Ratanakiri)
I woke up to a chilly morning. Voen Sai, Chunchiet cemeteries, volcanic lakes and waterfalls were in my agenda. But I knew it would be impossible for me to squeeze in all the sights in one day. Voen Sai is 35km northwest of Ban Lung and the Chunchiet Cemeteries at Kachon […]

Furthermore, they promised to put working odometers on all their bikes. Seeing that this trip might get a little tough, I decided that it is […]
