Yempauls Singapore group riding into China
Yempaul & his Singapore riding friends left Chiang Mai today. We gave them a fun route to Chiang Khong (loaded the route in all their Garmin GPS's) via Phu Chi Fa and the infamous R 4018 which still isn't on ESRI V12 map or other maps of the region for that matter!
Details of R 4018 in this link

No ferries today (Sunday) across to Huay Xai, Laos, so they'll sleep in Chiang Khong tonight then head across to Laos tomorrow, then up to Boten. From there, their Chinese Agent will meet them at the Laos Boten Chinese border and process them into China.
Interestingly, for 7 people, the Chinese agent fees worked out to be only USD$ 680 per person, a real bargain!
