Chiang Mai Rider's Corner Still A HU Touch Point

Colleagues reporting from North and Northeast Thailand say Rider’s Corner is still able to rent and process the necessary paperwork for the rental of a 250 cc motorbike or larger to exit Thailand and enter Laos at one of the few remaining borders for exit/entry. The Visa On Arrival entry points to Laos rules have added some additional twists to renting a motorbike in Thailand as a tourist to enter Laos.


Image 1 shows some of their rental motorbikes as of October, 2019, ready for the “high season.”


Affable proprietor Ian Gatenby, (left in Image 2) remains a reliable information source for Golden Triangle adventure riding if you can catch him in the restaurant when he is not out researching roads and border crossings to Laos and Myanmar. Noted were the continued upgrading of appointments in the restaurant like the massive tables, chairs and maintenance of the company rental fleet.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
