    Hi Buggy,

    You should check out the webjournals for Cambodia on this site ...

    October in Cambodia can be rough riding if it's raining. I've read a lot, and talked to fellow riders a great deal about washed out roads and some very tough going. If you're not on a schedule, you'll be fine but be prepared to change directions, re-route, and spend lots of time cleaning and fixing your bike. These things may never happen, but the rainy season isn't the best time to ride there. Having said that, the monsoons might be over by the time you get there.

    Starting in Laos then Chiang Mai, back into Laos, down the Mekong? Starting where in Laos? Re-entering back into Laos where? Can you give a few more details? I've ridden a lot in the NE of Thailand.
