Dear sirs,

We (Dietmar and Thomas) have already cycled around the world.

For this year depending on the wind we are planning to cycle from Hongkong to Bangkok or from Bangkok to Hongkong.

From: 17. March
To: 9. April

Which route would you recommend to have a higher chance of back wind?
*) Hongkong to Bangkok
*) Bangkok to Hongkong

Thank you
Br
Thomas

Winds in Vietnam generally blow from the south between November and April, and from the north between May and October. So in March an April I recommend you head north.

I suggest you do your research at crazyguyonabike.com. Read the country reports and journals at

Just to add to Ralphs post, April is the hottest month in the South.
