Hi Hamid

Don't worry to much about the bicycle. We cycled this year from Bangkok via Cambodia, Vietnam , Laos , China to Kathmandu in Nepal and I was on a MTB with front suspension and my girlfriend was on a full suspension bicycle.
During our trip we saw all kinds of bikes and the perfect bike does not exist.
Make sure you have good tires, a comfortable saddle and you are comfortable on the bicycle. If you start in Thailand , it might be worthwhile to buy the bicycle in Bangkok. There are some really good bicycle shops in BKK.
