Ride For Cambodia?

So my Ram "X" mount finally came and is looking pretty good. It's got a firm grasp of my phone/GPS with no slip rubber bumpers as seen here:

An IPhone is standing in for my Droid as I snap the pic.
The only issues with mounts at this point can only be dealt with while prepping the bike.
I am happy with this mount right out of the box, We''ll see what happens in the real world. I still think I will tether as a back up.

I agree, Tether on a short leash.

Also agree about the visas,,, everyone I've read about has had no problem with entry to Thai or Cam.
 
Okay - now all I need to do is take a little trip down to Nogales for a Typhoid vaccine and Malaria drugs.....
:)
 
I'm gonna buy my malaria drugs over there, across the counter for doxycycline sez Dean on the forums.rideforcambodia.com site.
 
Sounds good. I'm going to see my infectious disease quack just before the trip and whatever can wait until BKK will wait.

Since the kings gets coronated at the end of the Cambodian ride, I think we can avoid the crowds by staying in the back hills until the festivities are over....unless we want to get into all that for the pictures.
 
Could it be like our meet with the clown in Matamoros, Danny? :D

Mentioned this elsewhere, but I'm gonna wait on my Typhoid until Bangkok. Real PITA and expensive to get it in the USA.
 
Ya, it would be just like you to upstage the King. :)
...and the clown was in Reynosa

Just a reminder: our Cambodia ride is a charity event to support Sustainable Cambodia, for kids' education and other important improvements. I'm accepting donations at my PayPal account, email cattmando@gmail.com. Be sure to type Sustainable Cambodia in the comments.

Thanks in advance,

George
 
Ya, this is the dark side of this trip. We're collecting for a very good cause. :) although you probably won't be hearing much from me on that through the actual trip. I leave that to George.

Not sure of the charitable contribution write off status of this organization, but it'll be deeply appreciated either way.
 
I'm not gonna worry on the deductability of the contributions. Assume they haven't filed as 501(c)(3) charity.
 
I won't envy any poor soul who happens to be leading a ride through strange territory on the left side of the road with questionable road signs in a foreign language and trying to decipher the GSP nav promps to whats out there in the real world while slaloming the local traffic, potholes, landslides, animals, debris, kids and police.

Draw straws? And buy 'em lunch, I say.
 
The Boyz are in residence at The CattHouse and will accompany me to Bangkok. We can trade off while there, maybe send them to some other exotic locales before they return to Moonshine in April

Here they are with next-door-neighbor John and his SIL Alan.

It'll be great to bring the memory of loved ones passed. Thanks for posting the pic and carrying the tag, George.

Just a note about the Google translator...it needs a data connection to the web to work. :(

I am now thinking of getting a local data service while in Bangkok but I don't hold out any hope this will be one stop shopping for all of SEA. :(
 
I'm thinking our best bet is gonna be to find English speakers, Danny. Unlike the Romance languages, we have nothing to hang the SEA languages on. The Khmer translator I found shows the Cam words in their alphabet... :22yikes: I'm lost.
 
Well, for what it's worth, we'll have the translator free at WiFi hotspots, but chances of needing in those locations is much less than in the outback trails we'll be on.

Wonder if, like the OSM maps, we can download the whole language? At least Thai...that'll include Laos.
We can also Text Tip to translate for us ;) I know, I know...texting needs WiFi :( :)
