Who's going to Thailand or Laos during January/February?
Hi. I'm planning on visiting Thailand. Cambodia and Laos for 5 weeks during January and February.
I'll leave Beijing by January 10th at the earliest, January 14th at the latest. I'll return on February 19th.
I'm still working out my general itinerary, but the rough plan is as follows:
Take the train to Kunming and then bus it to the Laos border. Alternatively, fly to Kuala Lumpur and then catch a flight to Vientiane, the capital of Laos.
I think I'll spend a couple days trekking in Northern Laos, then go down to Luang Prabang for a couple days. Take a slow boat, do some tubing and then head down to the Four Thousand Islands area. From there, I'll take a bus to Siem Reap and later move onto Thailand.
I'll spend a few days in Bangkok and then head out to a couple of the islands, possibly Ko Maak and Krabi.
If you're interested in joining me for part of the trip or have some advice, please let me know.
Thanks!

Most of my travel has been in the U.S. but I did take a trip to Spain a few years back. I don't have any advice on your itinerary but I did learn a few general tips from first international trip. Always bring extras, like; medicine, socks, documents, travel insurance, and whatever your favorite candy is.
Have you thought about using travel health insurance for your next vacation?

I'm planning a trip to Phuket Island. Join a tour group, so it's safer
When work, commitment, and pleasure all become one and you reach that deep well where passion lives, nothing is impossible.

I'm going to Siem Reap on January 29th, may spend 1 week there and then take a bus to Bangkok.
Since it's my second trip to Thailand, I won't stay in Bangkok for long time.I plan to go to Ko Sumui or Chingmai this time.
As for the advice, Thailand is a safe country. I travelled there last year alone and Thai people are nice.
And I am wondering if it is more convenient to go to fly to Kuala Lumpur as a terminal and then Siem Reap, Thailand, and last Laos. So u can take a bus back to China.
Anyway enjoy ur trip~~

Sillytotoro, You are simply irresistable. Please don't stay too long and please come back to China.
If your hungover and wishing you were dead, then its not so bad. If your hungover and wondering why your not dead it might be bad.
