Good day and happy new year, Mr Barrow.
TQ for this guide. I am a cyclist and have aspirations to do a ‘Cycle/Train/Cycle’ tour from Malaysia to and around Thailand. What would be your advice? I appreciate your reply.
Take care and stay well. TQ
That is quite a big question. Can you ask it in my Facebook group as it is easier there and other people can help with firsthand experience:
