Cycling experience through multiple countries

He also participated in the Songkran festival and had a great time with the locals.

However, the journey was not all smooth sailing. In his last days in Cambodia, he suffered from food poisoning, cold, fever and diarrhea for two weeks, but due to visa issues, he had to bite the bullet and continue to cycle 70 kilometers into Laos. "I was very weak by then, but the trip had to go on." He said.
Despite the challenges, every day or two he encounters unexpected situations such as a flat tire on his bike, physical discomfort or bad weather. However, Rajab has always kept moving forward.
