Pics: Three Tipp lads are travelling Vietnam on motorbikes wearing Dumb and Dumber suits

We like it, we like it a lot

We like it, we like it a lot.

If you’re going to travel the world you might as well do it in style and there are three lads from Toomevara in Tipperary living the dream right now.

Paddy O’Rourke, Cory Skeet and Denis Cleary are currently travelling down the coast of Vietnam on three muddy-looking motorbikes (1980 Hondas apparently), which we hope don’t ruin the magnificent suits they’ve chosen to wear along the way.

Having started their journey in Sapa in North Vietnam, the lads made their way to Hanoi and then Hoi An, where they picked up some lovely, tailor-made Dumb and Dumber-style suits for 2,500,000 Vietnamese dong (approximately €100).

The lads claim that they barely remember picking up the suits, having originally gone in for three-pieces but having got a little carried away with the help of the local Saigon beer.

They’ve been wearing the suits since picking them up and plan to stay wearing them while celebrating the Asian New Year in Nha Trang and all the way down to Ho Chi Minh.

We’re not sure the lads will smell so fresh when they do eventually make it to Ho Chi Minh, but we do know for certain that they’ll still look fantastic.
