Hi M.,

weather in July's going to be hot - I wouldn't be concerned about the riots in BKK - they are not against tourists, but could affect public transport. As for the muslim areas south - never heard of anybody cyclist having trouble. If in doubt police will prevent you entering a certain area, but could also be they don't want witnesses... Great itineraries - hmm, depends on your likes...
