I rented a bike at Luang Prabang in May 2023 to Nong Khiaw which is North of LP.
The road is good but nothing really exciting if I may be honest.
I was supposed to pick up my bike rental at Thakhek and ride all the way to Luang Prabang for 3 weeks but the lady owner of the bike rental shop kept discouraging me from riding their bike a KLX150 ouside the Thakhek loop.
Plan was to ride from Thakhek to Kong Lor cave and then Phonsavan to Luang Prabang.
Was pissed as everything had been communicated with her husband via whatsapp and I had clearly told him where I would be riding for 3 weeks.
In the end I rented a Honda Wave from another company and did the Thakhek loop only. Then took bus to Vientiane and then the nice train to LP.
For the record avoid Mad Monkey Rental at Thakhek.
