I booked my flight for a two month backpacker tour this week. I will fly to Phuket on November 20th and back from Ho Chi Minh City on January 23th. My initial plan for the route is to start with some of the islands in the south of Thailand (e.g. Phuket, Ko Phi Phi, Ko Tao, Ko Phangan, Ko Samui), than go north direction Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Muang Sing. I might continue in Laos (Luang Prabang, Vientiane) and then go down to Kaombodscha (Angkor Wat, Siem Reap, Phnom Penh); from there further to Vietnam, especially Ho Chi Minh City, Mui Ne, Hoi An and maybe Hanoi in the north but there is probably not enough time. I still don’t know for sure which route I will take and I will probably decide a lot of things spontaneously. So any insider-tips for e.g. cities, scenic attractions or good hostels in this regions are very welcome.
