Vietnam to Myanmar and Back, the brochure

November 24, 2017 //  by Global Rally//  Leave a Comment

This gives you a flavour of what lies ahead with the next rally

Five countries form the backdrop to a journey through spectacular scenery and a multitude of cultures in South East Asia.   The rally explores both coastal and mountainous scenery in southern Vietnam including the delta of the mighty Mekong river.   In Cambodia it stops at both the much visited Angkor Wat and the lesser known Preah Vihear ruins, taking in rivers, waterfalls, and the Cardamon mountains. 

The journey through Thailand encompases interesting towns and the ramparts, moats and chedis of Sukhothai as well as drives along scenic roads.   A mountainous route leads to Myanmar (Burma) with the temples of Bagan, Markets, the beauty of Inle Lake and fabulous driving through Shan state.   A brief return visit to Thailand includes the night markets of Chiang Rai and the wats of Nan in the “Golden Triangle”

A crossing of the Mekong river and the golden temples of Luang Prabang are features of the journey through Laos before we encournter the precision paddy fields, spectacular mountains and local people in North Vietnam.  Throughout the journey colonial influences sit alongside the surviving regional cultures.

Who are the GRO?

We are a non-profit making organisation created for people who relish a challenge and an interest in classic cars. Combining these two things allows our members to explore the world.
The charge for all rallies will be “at cost”, save for a pre-stated administration fee for organising the event and the shared cost of the service / medical crew. We are able to do this as we will also be participating in the adventure and the countries are ones we wish to visit.
