I really need a hand organizing the way i do my itinerary in Asia, so please people, let me know what way you think is best way to do this.
The part about going from Cambodia to VN and back to BKK and then to Laos and then to VN again???
Really think you need to rethink this itinerary - were you drinking?
Then you go north to N. China and then reverse direction completely to go to OZ? Do you really expect to be taken seriously?

Daawgon,
Are you some sort of numpty?
He made this thread because he needs help with his itinerary, so he knew he had made mistakes with it, that’s why he posted it -snip- !!

To the OP, the only help I can give you is, you shouldn’t want to backtrack on yourself whilst travelling, but if theres no way around it then you have to I suppose. I noticed on one of your previous threads that you want to finish in Australia. So the route to me actually looks okay, apart from the backtracking of course. I cant work out another way around it, seeing as you want to spend more time in Chiang Mai, you will end up backtracking whatever you do.
Maybe someone else has better advice?

hi
Remember if you go overland to Thailand from Malaysia you will only get a 15 day stamp on arrival. Your itinerary has way to much backtracking on it...here's two alternatives:
OPTION 1
KL to Penang and then fly into Thailand so you get 30 days or get a visa in advance to allow a 60 day stay. Spend your time in Thailand for xmas and NYE - Phuket isn't worth it in my opinion, but never been to Koh Tao.
I think you should then go up north to Chiang Mai and overland to Luang Prabang (taking the slow boat), then overland through Laos. Then you can cross into Cambodia and work your way down to the south coast then cross to Vietnam and work north to eventually cross into China.
OPTION 2
KL to Penang and then fly into Thailand so you get 30 days or get a visa in advance to allow a 60 day stay. Spend your time in Thailand for xmas and NYE - Phuket isn't worth it in my opinion, but never been to Koh Tao.
Go up north to Chiang Mai and overland to Luang Prabang (taking the slow boat), then overland through Laos. Then you can cross to Hanoi from Vientiane, work your way south to HCMC then cross to Cambodia then overland back to Bangkok. You can fly to Kunming from Bangkok or even fly to Macau/HK from Bangkok with Air Asia.
I personally think you should do option 2 - makes more sense to complete a full loop of Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia.
The way you have it you would have to get at least 2 visas for Cambodia and Vietnam...not a problem for Cambodia as you get them on the border but for Vietnam it has to be done in advance. Also the costs of getting the visas twice is a bit silly when you can do each country all in one go. It will also cut down on travel time and costs if you try and do a complete loop.
If you want to do China, remember the distances are rather large...it depends on what you want to see and how long you want to spend in China as to whether your itinerary will work there!
Hope this makes sense for you!
