Thanks for sharing, nice pics. However, would not you want to bring your own personal ATGATT, especially riding pants?

I was in Vietnam for 4 weeks the ride part was only a total of 8 days plus a week in Cambodia before that, you can only carry so much gear . We had our own jacket, gloves,boots. Their helmet was fine and as for riding pants,I rarely wear them at home so why cart them across the world plus the heat would cause you problems in Cambodia.Nth Vietnam the weather was milder but as speeds are mostly below 70kph and I have been riding for 45yrs and was site seeing not pushing it ATGATT was not necessary. If you look at my Cambodia 2012 ride you'll see I have all the gear and heat stress was problem.

Weight is always an issue I reckon and always a trade off. I think I forgot that it is hot and humid there and wet & muddy pants are just routine. I will lurk your other reports.
