I joined the Thailand trip in Jan 2025; this was my third adventure with VR (after Argentina & Norther India). As usual the service by VR was top notch from the moment we were picked up at the airport until we were dropped back, including handling motorcycle issues. The twisties in the mountains were fantastic (like the "Back of the Dragon" in TN, USA). The scenery is a mixture of steep mountains and plains in between, with little industrialization. The trip could be summarized with great riding, some off-road, diversified scenery, local culture and camaraderie. Unfortunately, the smoke, due to burning in the fields, was starting to be an issue.
