Cycling Southeast Asia
Southeast Asia is one of the world’s most popular cycle touring destinations.
It’s got a warm climate, friendly people and cheap living. Despite the relatively low cost, there’s a range of options to suit everyone, from the ultra-budget traveller to someone who likes a more developed tourist infrastructure with better hotels and restaurants.
Are you wondering…
On your bike you can explore everything from ancient treasures like Angkor Wat in Cambodia to beautiful beaches in the south of Thailand and the mountains of northern Laos. Everything from bustling cities to tea plantations are yours to discover in Malaysia.
If you’re really adventurous, get off the beaten path by riding over the mountains through barely visited H’mong villages in Laos or on the dirt roads that run alongside the Mekong River in Cambodia, offering a fascinating insight into rural life.
Wherever you go, traffic is generally light and very courteous. In Thailand and Malaysia, the roads are in near perfect condition but even in Cambodia and Laos the main routes are paved. And unlike many countries, visas are available on arrival or easy to obtain once you’re in the region.
More information on individual countries can be found on the pages for Malaysia, Cambodia, Thailand and Laos.

Hello.
My partner and I are currently heading towards SE Asia from China and would love to cycle in Myanmar and preferably to cross over by land into Myanmar and out into Thailand. It would appear that this is not possible and in order to get in with a bike, we will have to fly in and fly out. Does anyone have any news to the contrary or any tips in general about touring in Myanmar?
Many thanks
Sam
Can’t wait to get there later this year, it’s one of the best stages of my trip. I’ve read so much about it from other cyclists. Never been there. Can’t wait. Be great if I could cycle into and out of Burma though, maybe it will open up soon.
Im thinking about bike touring parts of SE Asia this fall and was wondering is it safe for a female on her own? I understand it probably makes the trip more expensive as I wouldn’t be splitting rooms or food.
