Lao’s wet season starts around May. So best to start earlier if possible. Or else keep to better roads.

If you are starting from Vientiane, I would suggest skipping Xayaboury (as opposed to what I have done) and heading up route 13 directly. After a northern loop (visit Vang Vieng, Luang Prabang, Xam Neua etc), head south along route 13 (visit Pakse, 4000 islands etc). You would need to arrange for the bike to be returned in the south so you need not ride back to Vientiane. Move on to Cambodia from Southern Laos.

You can get more suggestions at gt-rider.com forums.
