Very wise choice getting out of there ,when you did. As mentioned ,how quickly and dangerous those dirt roads,can become,when the rain comes...Cheers...Kenno...West Aust

    Shut up mate ,,,lmao,,that was hilarious! What utterly gorgeous country. I wonder , how many meters high are those mtns? That waterfall had to have been one of the most beautiful you've shown yet. The people were lovely and sweet like always. That mtn road is my kind of road. I have to say ,,your tires are shit for wet roads. I think you'd feel much more secure with a beefy all-terrain or mud-terrain tire. B.f.goodrich or Goodyear. I dont know about there availability in Lao,,or price,, but there are some pretty good less expensive brands like hankook from I think S.Korea. I've had Goodrich all-terrain for15 years straight. Get about 45 or 50,000 miles because the rubber compound is a bit softer. We have country roads that turn into globby grease patches after rain. While not fun when wet,,I've made It through just fine. That road actually reminds me of a logging road where my Uncles had a logging job when I was 13 and i basically learned to drive on that road. Scared hell out of my Uncle Don ,while i was driving,,,because like your road ,there were huge drop offs. Tell Neenee that I truly loved that Pathet Lao cave video. It was superb. Very interesting. Thanks for an excellent trip over the last few weeks. Make me want to be there more than ever.. you guys take care and be safe,,Ttyl,,,Marlon
