We saddle up and ride south to Pailin. The road in sections is in good condition and the scenery is the most impressive as we head towards Thailand. The road undulates as we get closer to Pailin but there is nothing to stop along the way. We will cross streams and bridges and really get a feeling of riding into uncharted territory. This used to be bandit country, but don't worry the area is now completely safe.
