    I can’t believe people go to places like Pattaya when they could go to Lao. My favourite Asia country. Its great motorcycle riding in Lao. Ive ridden Cambodia and up threw Thailand, golden triangle and Lao then back down threw bottom of Lao into Cambodia several times. And the worlds best beer and friendliest people.

      Pattaya offers different attractions, eg, beachside, bars, and entertainment. It also has superior infrastructure.

    Todd, Tully's closed due to on-going complaints of disturbance from the local community and cooresponding pressure from the authorities on the grounds the bar was considered an inappropriate attraction for the area (as I heard directly from the owner). The new location seems to be doing as well as the old one was.

    You're right Todd would make a good Irish bar but a lot of the crowd has already moved on to the new location so guess would not get so busy .. that is not a bad thing tho. Reckon you have to get a big bike mate you'd fit right in .. lol. Great vibe they know how to party in that part of the world. Bushyboy Oz.

It'd be nice to see what those bikers do to help others. Very nice rides they all have. The pics at the end.😎👍🙏

    Another awesome video...I love festivals in SEA, especially the boat races which occur at about the same time...the boat races in my edge of the Mekong, namely Cambodia, are also raucous affairs and a perfect reason to party but we haven't had one in the capital Phnom Penh for 3 years but they are allowed in the provinces and districts. I don't think the boats in Cambodia are as long with 50+ rowers as in Laos...I could be wrong...doesn't matter...good fun had by all

    Hey Todd, there sure is a lot to un pack in this vid. The LBP races were better, as you said the geography lends itself to better viewing but the home team fans in Vientaine were more raucous. The bikers know how to break a fast after Buddhist lent, sip a few (dozen) beers and jump on their bikes. A friendly group of guys. Looked like a fun outing. Cheers
