South East Asia Backpacking Trip 2007

This place was “Utopia” , (a little inside joke). I wouldn’t even know where to start or how to describe what a great place SE Asia was. We visited Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam, but I made a little slide show here from some of the best/worst moments of our 4 week trip through SE Asia. I definetely had a good time, and I know the boys did too. Anyhow, I will let the pictures tell the rest of the story….enjoy!

    good luck with everything! I’ve not done that route before, but assuming you are going by car,train or bus, your budget may be tight. I’d take some more cash just in case ($1,800 aud). Let’s say lodging alone will cost you $15 /night, that is already roughly $600. I usually take fewer things and more cash, just to be safe. Either way have an awesome time…i may do a similar route in Jan or Feb!

    Great video mate. I’m leaving for Malaysia next Friday, cannot wait!! I’ll probably spend a night or 2 there then make my way up through Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and possibly Laos. I have around $1,400 (Australian). Should this be enough for a 6 week stay? Planning on staying in backpackers as i’m on my own and wouldn’t mind the company.

    weather wise….probably Jan to Apr…or Sept, Oct, Nov…summers are hot and humid, if you can take it, otherwise wait for spring or fall…just avoid chinese new years and major holidays, you’ll save yourself alot of trouble

    oh thanks a lot. when do you think best time to go is ( weather wise ) i guess i dont mind a bit of rain, i really wanna go before xmas though

  7. guoqiang says:

    thailand is …
    thailand is definitely more touristy..but it has really cool temples to visit, unlike Vietnam. If you’re not into that, really the only thing left is nice beaches and some awesome partying :)

  8. robboultimate says:

    thx for that. what …
    thx for that. what was thailand like. that must be more expensive as its more of a tourist attraction. is it better there or just different. i will prob go to both any way. thx

  9. guoqiang says:

    you can get around …
    you can get around Vietnam inexpensively if you look for hostels (or guesthouses). I remember we found one place that was $5 / night. reference a guide book, we used Southeast Asia on a Shoestring which I highly recommend. Traveling by air is expensive, stick to buses/trains. Be careful of cab drivers! We had a bad experience in Hanoi when some cab driver thought he could rip us off by making the meter run up fast. Be wary of holidays (Chinese New Year), rooms will be scarce. have fun!

    hey yea it’s a great vid. But I belive the name of the song is Ka Yee A Sone Hti by Lay Phyu. Roughly translated, i think it means “until the journey’s over” :D

    yeah, the airfare itself was about $1500 just to come from the US, and airfare for other intra southeastasia destinations ended up costing extra too

    those spots in in myanmar’s capital, yangon. Once you are in the city and the sun sets, you can’t miss the temple..it is the most amazing structure in the city and stands out like you can’t even imagine

  20. guoqiang says:

    in terms of scenery …
    in terms of scenery, Halong Bay in Vietnam was the most stunning…if it is a culture experience you are looking for, Burma is untouched by the West which makes it most fascinating…
