We did the quad bikes the other day. Extreme sports or what! Theres not very many countries u would get to do this sort of trail. Health and safety is well down in their priorities, but we're glad it is otherwise it wouldnt have been half the fun! :) About 4 hours it took us to get to the top of Mount Khom Long (1459m high) and back on the quads, and they can fairly go. It was about 42 km in total drive. We started from the bike centre driving up through main r...
