Your SAFETY is my first priority and think carefully before making a discussion :)
Personally, I love riding motorbike, when I studied at the college, I drove around 5 hours to my hometown in Sayboury at least twice a month during the weekend and day off for visiting my family, collected some foods, sticky rice. .
In the past, Lao people used Cow Cart for transportation and agriculture. After the war end, the bicycles and motorbikes became very famous and very expensive, only rich people could effort them. My grandfather gave six big female buffaloes to his friend and exchanged with a secondhand bicycle.
Everyday Life, Short or long distance, a motorbike could reach. The major of Lao have their own motorbikes and use them for traveling comfortably nowadays. Wishing you were hear to challenge yourself and willing to hear your story!
