!!!!!! Vietnam â?" Singapore friendship : Touring- connecting bikers !!!!!!!!

Hi Mr JKLow, Frederick and STOC member
Welcome you enjoy this Forum that we can connect together.
I post a picture, in this pict I translate Vietnamese to English some word you need to know (easier to post)

I''m in the same group with Mr Tank, ACE MTSG - Brother and sister of Saigon Motorbike (that impress we have men and lady in group)
The road in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand are really good as you know, and the traffic at there the same good.
Vietnam and Cambodia road is not so good like Singapore or Malay, they are small and a lot of kind of transport, and most of high way is not separate two way secluded. You can easy to see Cows, dogs, goats .... pass the road. That''s so dangerous when you ride high speed.
The most important thing you should know : the transport way in Viet Nam and Cambodia is in the right, not like Singapore, Malay, Thailand is in the left.
But you don''t worry about this problem, you should make plan before riding to Viet Nam, and announce us. We will let you go in Viet Nam, show you about our country. Introducing Viet Nam transpotation law, ...
See you in Malaysia, KL - Sepang this Oct - 2009

Thanks Brother, Great help. Was wondering do we need to apply any entry permits or special insurance to ẻnter Vietnam???? What documents we need to bring along??
I was planning to ride to Vietnam early next year ..If I have the time.hahaha.

Brothers...Can anyone tell me where is the Best entry point to Vietnam from Thailand OR Cambodia? and Name of the entry point. Want to chose a better con***ion road and got more petrol stations. Actually plan to go to HCM city first . Thanks in advance.

Emtry permit and Insurance - I will ask my friend and answer you later.
Viet Nam have not the same border with Thailand, if you want to come to Viet Nam, you must pass Cambodia.
There are 2 best entry point to Viet Nam (from Cambodia) :
- MOC BAI International Border (Tây Ninh Province), The distance between Moc Bai international border and Ho Chi Minh Cty is 70km
- TINH BIEN International Border (An Giang Province) The distance between TINH BIEN international border and Ho Chi Minh Cty is 350km.
The best and shortest road to HCM city is from MOC BAI international border. (Most of traveller from Cambodia choose this road to go to HCM city), don''t worry about petrol station, there are a lot of petrol station in the high way, but most of them sell Gas A92, a little get Gas A95.
Welcome STOC to HCM city, we will meeting here and let you go everywhere in Viet Nam.

Thanks Brother What about the road con***ion in Cambodia??? I heard that the road con***ion in Vietnam In very much better...is it correct???
We are going thêre on our Sports Tourer Honda STX 1300 and ST 1100 not forgetting a BMW LT 1200. You think possible???
I really hope so as a lot people say it is not going to be easy.

Dont be afraid to be afraid.
Keep going and just take care all the time.
We are now waiting for you guys.

All Right Man! At least I get a positive answer here. Way to go..... Hope to see you soon in Viet Nam. Brothers.

After all, now we can contact to each other easily. Today can be a bad day cause I missed my flight back to Vietnam but when I read these words, everything is much brighter. Hope that our friends will share more experiences and informations here !
Other way, may be we can place a meeting when some Vietnam bikers get to KL this October. I think we need some one to plant for this meeting.
