The New Plan

13 days and counting down till my flight to Ho Chi Minh.

The initial plan was just to explore VietNam but at the moment I am toying with the idea of going to other countries as well.

I want to do: Vietnam (HCM-HaNoi), Laos (travel from Huay Xia to Vientianne to Pakse), Cambodia (Siem Reap-Phnom Penh), Thailand (Bangkok to Hat Yai), Malaysia (Penang to Melaka), Singapore... and back to Ho Chi Minh City for a conference on 24-30 June 2010.

I know how I will be travelling VietNam - thanks to the Open Bus that are offered. It costs 25$ from North to South or vice versa and you can travel at your own pace.

In Laos, I really would love to take the slow boat from Huay Xia to Lau Prabang then to Vientianne if there are also boats servicing the route.

From Laos, I want to see the Angor Wat and also the capital city Phnomh Penh. And with the political problems in Thailand, I might skip Bangkok - meaning not staying there for more than a day and take a Rail Pass offered by KTM of Malaysia to Butterworth (Malaysia).

You will be updated regarding my travel...
