- "The tuk-tuk on tour is over, for a while at least! We are back in Belgium and our machine will follow us in few weeks. We will try to register it (we hope that it will be easier than in Thailand) so we will be able to hit the european roads as soon as the sun will be back!
We want to thank all the sponsors, the trip would not exist without them. We want to thank you all aswell for following and supporting us during all the journey.
We wish you a nice winter and see you next summer for more adventure!
Jay & Kick" - "Finally we got it!!! After almost 3 months we have received our registration. We want to thank the company "Apsara" in Bangkok. Without their help it would not be possible to get the registration. We will head to Cambodia on wednesday (we have to change the direction of the tour because of flood in Laos). Info, photos,...on the page "News"."
- "Patience, patience, that's the only thing we need now. As you have notices, our project starts very slowly! We put all the chances on our side to start as soons as possible, but, even with the help of Thai friends, the local administration is very hard and slow. We are waiting a mail (we should receive it on friday) and then we will be able to re-introduce our request at the trafic department to get the plate number. It will for sure still take few days so we expect to be on the road around the 10th of August. Anyway our visa expires on 25th of August so we will have to leave Thailand before that day. We are thinking to a solution for all the possibles cases but we don't take any decision now. We let you know as soons as we have more news. Regards from Bangkok and its sunny and warm weather."
