My cousin made this three-wheeled motorbike
21^st Jan, 2017 at 8:29am

A trailer was built then connected to the side of the motorbike.

The side trailer can carry just about anything, and it can be a lot of fun to sit in there for a ride, that's if you don't mind being in the sun.

Three-wheeled motorbikes like this are not sold in Laos, you have to make them yourself.

If I own that motorbike, I would put a cooler on the side trailer, filled the cooler with ice and a gallon of goat milk and ride shirtless and wearing cowboy hat through Vientiane. Would I be in prison for having no shirt on?

I see them all over the place. People even attach food carts to motorbikes and sell on the side of the street. The carts were made to fit on them..

He is very good at fixing motorbikes and cars.

You won't go to prison, but what you're doing may be deemed inappropriate and disrespectful to Lao culture and you could be stopped by police and be given a fine.

They sell the carts separately, and there would be some work involved to attach it to the motorbike because a motorbike isn't designed to connect to side carts and trailers.

It's funny how white tourists like to act like they're in a movie or something and walk around shirtless with those baggy hippy pants when they go to Asian countries. The locals just point and laugh at them. Anyone else seen this?

Another thing is white tourists riding bikes from one end of Laos to another.

I'm not even a local but when I see them dressed that way I think they look like jokers

That is just part of the Lao culture because most Laotians I know are timid people. As long as it ain't killing no one then why having those laws? Just like the seat belt law in my city. People should be allowed to have an option to wear or not to wear seat belt when in a vehicle. Laos needs to relax and enjoy life.
