Hi,

I've been planning to do this trip for a while but none of my friends have the time off work so I'm looking for someone to travel with. If it's possible to make this journey, I'm planning to travel anytime between january-march next year and would like to spend several weeks. Still working on itinerary but here is the route:

KL - Bangkok - Chiang Mai - Chiang Kong - Huay Xai - Luang Prabang - Vang Vieng - Vientiane - Hanoi - Hue - Hoi An - HCM - Phnom Penh - Siem Reap - KL

I know it's easy to meet up with people on the way but it would be good to have a travel companion in advance. Having a friend to go with would be better and definately cut down on the costs. My plans are pretty flexible so if u r interested, pls let me know. I'm easy to get along with, reliable and very strong too..hehe..cheers!


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Now I'm thinking to change the title to Travel Companion for I haven't seen any similar thread. If u r looking for a travelmate, post as much information as u're comfortable doing. I'd suggest to those who r seeking travel companion to inform the forumers ur travel plan much earlier. Where and when. Giving early notice will increase possibility of the plan to work out, instead of alerting the thread with a short notice. Good luck!

Lol ... i'm quite interested in travelling. Just got my dslr a few months ago and next week going back to Pg to get a new wide lense and a bag and i'm all set to leave the country for a long ride.

I'm sick of everyday sitting on the desk staring at the monitor. It's time to get off from the chair and start moving.

Sen Yii, your blog is great! It provides good info on food location however I'm pretty new in KL and i'm working in cyberjaya. So I don't really know the place until i get myself a GPS lol.

I have lots of leave but preferably 2 months ahead since travelling abroad need some advance leave smile.gif Nov would do great since my plan is also to travel to Cambodia. Additional location would just add on to the fun ! smile.gif

Travel+shopping trip? Can't afford to do that before the backpacking day..Unless u wanna go trip to Petaling Street tongue.gif 2-3 weeks is considered long for working adults. As for myself, I've to sacrifice almost half of my annual leave. Get off the cubicle, lets make it an epic journey! biggrin.gif

186, your SEA travel will be after your trip to Philipines which mean next year. We can decide that later smile.gif

I think i kind of decided my destination which is London. I have a friend to visit and i'll be going there for 2 weeks. Once my leave (applied) approved, I'll get my ticket and i'll be going there this end of Nov smile.gif

I haven't been there before and this is going to be my first time. I bought something from online and i send it to my friend's place. So i'll have to go there and get it back.

fcuk89, travelling alone will be your greatest challenge and excitement. Having said that, you have to be very cautious to your environment whenever you travel alone. I believe going anywhere alone is not a good thing but if you're planning to travel and meet someone on the way to travel with you, that'll be a great idea smile.gif

I was thinking to make it maximum of 4. the more the merrier but more ppl means more trouble rclxub.gif having one is perfect enough. at the moment there's a girl from UK (who i met in a forum) who's interested but she havent decide to join.

186, your SEA travel will be after your trip to Philipines which mean next year. We can decide that later smile.gif

I think i kind of decided my destination which is London. I have a friend to visit and i'll be going there for 2 weeks. Once my leave (applied) approved, I'll get my ticket and i'll be going there this end of Nov smile.gif

Sure bro. i'll keep u updated. have a fun trip to London. dont forget to buy me a souvenir tongue.gif

QUOTE(71ers @ Aug 30 2010, 08:40 AM)
TS, i am interested , keep me in the loop, but can i skip Vietnam and Cambodia .. ?

Sure man. i'd prefer having someone who can join the whole journey.

QUOTE(sense_less143 @ Aug 30 2010, 05:04 PM)

Can I just say that 1 week is not even enough to do whole Vietnam, if you really want to experience the country.

I just got back from HCMC and my 4 days there was not enough for this one city.

If you wanna do Hanoi - HCMC, may I suggest Hanoi - Hoi An - Dalat - Mui Ne - HCMC instead.

Vietnam is a very beautiful country and a lot of things to see.

Good luck with your planning! wink.gif

thnx for sharing. i know most travelers spend 2-4 months to those places. skipping few spot will be considered by the way. its pretty hard for me to get long leave. still working hard to convince the boss n make it happened.

then its ok, take care k when you are in philipines. maybe a lil exaggerated but close friends of mine had experience there and its realli not that safe. if you are chinese, just try not to wear too many valuables because people there think all chinese are rich.

i m getting to hanoi then travel down to saigon. january the weather will be about 17'c at hanoi so will enjoy the weather there before slowly moving down south to the centre which i read have some beach before moving more south to saigon. so far no plans yet. most prob bus or train because hope to cover the more on the ground and meet more locals. also sleeping in bus and train can save on accomodation. biggrin.gif

i will. their target is chinese, specifically who looks like he/she might fetch money, which can be a kidnapping target as well. i think it's safe to travel to manila, having said that, just practise the usual travel common sense.

Most parts of europe will be freezing cold in February. Where are you going, what's your budget and how long? I may go as well, but I concentrate more on UK, France, the Netherlands, budget around 30-50€ per person per night, probably max 1-2 weeks.

Let's see how it goes. I'm in the Netherlands now, travelling is fun but I am trying to go to the smaller places, sometimes less travelled eg. Provins, Reims, Bruge, Delft since I've done the big cities already.

Hi, this is a really great journey. Actually, I'm thinking extend your trip to China even. say KL->Thailand (Bankok)-> Laos-> China, Yunnan(-->possibly Tibet--> Nepal). Why don't you share this trip on a facebook? can attract more companions.

Yo, I'm alone to make a travel plan from 24 Dec to 2 Jan. Possible routes are three
1. Nepal (hiking around Himalaya and Mt Everest, possibly cross borderline to China, depending on time)
2. South east asia region, Thailand, Cambodia, Vetnam and Laos (see how many countries can I travel across)
3. Sri Lanka
New friends are always welcome, we can talk, take photos, help with each other, share expense, exchange thoughts....etc.

Note, I'm an outdoors man, travel and backpack overseas several times alone and with friends. If you are intersted, pls drop me an email at jiayang.sg@gmail.com

I'd like to make a decision this weekend(5 Dec) so I can book the air tickets. So, friends, pls hurry up. I'm starting from Sarawak.

I assume budget for 3 routes will be similar, so just take Nepal as an example.
BTW, I'm not a luxury tourist on holiday, but surely not stingy. my main target is to enjoy the scenic view and relax my heart.
Air fare from KL to Nepal via Dhaka two ways is about RM1800
Travel in Nepal, say RM150/day/pax for 10 days will be RM1500, so total will be RM3300~3500 for 10 days including everything, that's not too bad, as we'll see Mt everest! Roof of the world.

Yeah, I know. But I just came back from Bali 2 months ago. It's really had to get a 10 days' holiday, and can't wait for watch Mt Everest which I dreamed for years.

I referred to the normal route people took before, 10~13 days trekking along the valley to enjoy the snow mountain and Mt everest.

Flight is Biman airline, cheapest so far. Nepal airline doesn't have flight on the right dates.

BTW, surabaya is too short for 10 days holiday.

I assume budget for 3 routes will be similar, so just take Nepal as an example.
BTW, I'm not a luxury tourist on holiday, but surely not stingy. my main target is to enjoy the scenic view and relax my heart.
Air fare from KL to Nepal via Dhaka two ways is about RM1800
Travel in Nepal, say RM150/day/pax for 10 days will be RM1500, so total will be RM3300~3500 for 10 days including everything, that's not too bad, as we'll see Mt everest! Roof of the world.

RM1800 return? what airlines is this?

Yeah, I know. But I just came back from Bali 2 months ago. It's really had to get a 10 days' holiday, and can't wait for watch Mt Everest which I dreamed for years.

I referred to the normal route people took before, 10~13 days trekking along the valley to enjoy the snow mountain and Mt everest.

Flight is Biman airline, cheapest so far. Nepal airline doesn't have flight on the right dates.

BTW, surabaya is too short for 10 days holiday.

oic..erm sorry bro.. I do not have that much of budget..anyway hope u enjoy the trip!

people seek travel companion for various reason. there are people seeking for someone to split/share traveling cost with, seeking someone who shares the same travel plan/interest, seeking for someone who might be at the same place and fancy meeting up and what not. and there are a lot of people having a problem to get their family/friend/relative to travel with.

i'd like to suggest to those who r seeking for travel companion to list down ur future travel plan earlier. where and when. someone might interested to team up or join ur trip n u guys can contact each other.

giving an early notice will increase possibility of the plan to work out, instead of alerting the thread with a short notice. good luck!

Yeah I think it's quite good too, Many would recommend July too since you do not need over bulky clothes. During April it's still equivalent to other's country's winter temperature.

Looking for a companion as travel buddy (and to share out some cost, hehe) to Maldives, 17/6/11 - 24/6/11.

I bought MAS airticket with a friend last year, but now my friend called it off for new job offer.

My friend has since offered to still bear 1/3 of the accomodation cost, remaining 2/3 will be borne by me and the joining one (if any), else I gotta pay 2/3 if I'm goin alone.

Checked MAS fare, some details you might wish to know:

1. Airfare - return KL - Maldives should cost around RM1206 (MAS) on 17/6/11 - 24/6/11

2. Accomodation - there's not much backpacker kinda stuff in Maldives. The standard room rate costs at least US250++, with someone bearing 1/3 and some offsettin with my credit card, you may budget max of RM1900 for accomodation

3. Daily spending will be on your own

4. Since there'll be 7D7N, I intend to stay on some budgeted hotel on the first night since I'm arriving bout 10pm. Next 3 nights will be on standard hotel (perhaps slightly cheaper) and final 3 nights on a relatively good resort.

Look forward to hear from you!

I did my OWD at East Marine, Langkawi. It take only 4days. however, price at East Marine cost me around RM1.3k exclude accommodation. EM is 5star dive center and they cater more to foreigns.

On the other hand at Terangganu or Pahang more cheaper. the course only +- RM990.

Best time to dive in Langkawi (West coast) between june to january. But in contrast at East coast, best time for dive between March and Ogos/Sept.

Hrm, do you think 2 weeks is enough? the flight would've taken up 2 full days dy. That leaves you with just 12 days to explore.

Looking to plan a backpacking trip in Europe next year. Just looking to see how many people are interested to go. I have some families in different parts in Europe (Sweeden, Scotland, Belgium) so we could plan stop there as well. PM me. We can plan out the details later.

FYI i am currently in US, but taking short vacation in Msia now.

I'm interested to backpack to Europe next year May/June as well, where are you going ? Places that I'm interested includes Prague, Vienna, Krakow and Amsterdam. I just came back from a trip to Copenhagen, Malmo and Stockholm and Stockholm especially is a really nice place.

Sorry for being late on this. Still researching nice places to visit. I will have a tentative draft up in a week about the places to see and rough route. Then maybe can decide where we want to stop, and date of travel. Estimated expenses will be a lot easier once we know roughly where we will be going.

Mclaren, can you share more on the transportation aspect? Did you use train, rent a car, buses or combination to move from one place to another?

So far i am thinking 4-6 cities, for like 2-3 weeks backpack. Have to see how can fit with other people schedule too.

Actually I was on a business trip to Copenhagen and I extended my trips for me to visit Malmo and Stockholm, basically I just commute by train from Copenhagen to Stockholm via Malmo. I find it rather easy to travel by train as I will be arriving in the Central Station of each of the destination I go. Bus is more time consuming and I wouldn't recommend it. I think taking train to travel within Europe is relatively easy and the best way to travel apart from traveling by flight. Do PM me when you got a rough idea on where to go and we can see how we can coordinate stuff.

but i dont have any ideas yet where to go. not too sure myself where to go yet altho i've some places in mind(laos, thailand, vietnam, phil), as this will be my first trip by my own. initially, i plan to go by my own but considering that i'm a girl, it'd be quite dangerous. was planning to maybe sign up with travel agency then stumbled upon this thread.

What I'll do is map a rough route first, then we can discuss from there the stops.

Hi guys, based on initial feedback, i figured on a 2-3 week span trip, we can try visit 4 countries, maybe 3 depending on activities; Netherlands, Germany, Poland and Czech Republic

My initial draft below i am listing "places to visit". Again this is just a draft and by no means final. It does not mean we will visit all this but just a suggestions from a very very big list. In fact best to just choose a few to fully enjoy the vacation. I know i have indeed missed a lot of potentially nice places to go for each country listed below so please do provide me other suggestions.

I am posting this so others can get an idea of what i am planning and provide suggestions. The things to do below for each country i found from "other people's experience" and tourist source. I find reading reviews from travelers a lot better than blindly picking spots from books. Those interested to travel along please pm me. I will pm people who have already pm me so we can decide further the rough plan of travel, and dates. It is a lot easier to estimate cost, mode of transportation and traveling route once we have a set location to go. Date of travel have not been set yet. Have to determine what works best for other people too but tentatively July or Aug 2012? If we want to go to Oktoberfest must be mid Sept - October.

Oh and there are some suggested places to eat, just did not list them. Keep in mind some of these stuff need advance reservation like wine tasting, or beer tours.

Netherlands
- Cities to visit : Maastricht, Utrecht, Amsterdam
- Mergelgrotten caves
- Marken, Noord
- Amsterdam Dam Square, Canal tours, Red light district
- Van Gogh Museum
- Waag Fortress
- Heineken Brew Tour
- Keukenhof Gardens

Germany
- Oktoberfest, Sept 22nd to October 7th 2012. Cheap beer
- Can take scenic train tour to Salzburg,Austria,
- Garmisch-Portenkischen - take train/cable car to top of mountain??
- Museums to see : Deutsches, Neue Pinakothel, Alte Pinakothek
- Hofbrauhaus beer garden
- Dachau museum
- Kolner Dam which is "Mt Everest" of Cathedrals
- Garten der west (Garden of the World)
- Sachsenhaugen camp

Poland
- Warsaw; craft shopping, bars, eat
- Cathedral of Ss John Baptist?
- Monastry of Jasna Gora
- Salt mine
- Auschwitz or Treblinka camp - 50km west of Krakow, must go
- Hiking? Beskid Sadecki, Mt Sniezka
- Wawel Castle
- Tatra Mountains @ Zakopane - apparently really nice must go
- ojcowski or blalowizy national park
- gdansk, czestochowa, pieniny

Czech Republic
- Staropramen brewery
- Praque castle, medieval type
- Charles Bridge? shopping and eat?
- Karlory Vary - famous spa area close to german border
- Bohemian Paradise NE of Praque
- University town in Olamouc, old capital of Moravia
- Caves in Moravia, underground river to reach caverns

dear digiman, your germany part only covers Munich and some of the nearby city

If you are in Munich and you are big fans of BMW, you cannot miss the boat to visit its museum!~

I think you should try to go to Krakow instead of Warsaw for Poland, I was told by a Pole during my trip to Stockholm that there is nothing much to visit in Warsaw itself and Krakow is way nicer.

Vienna is a very nice place as well, maybe you should consider it as well ?

Yea we can consider vienna. that is austria. in fact salzburg and vienna all close by. Warsaw is just capital, some architecture stuff there. In poland interested in visiting auschitwz camp, castle and tatra mountains which is supposed to be beautiful. I was thinking we want to rent a car for easier transportation. In some cases take train.

Please do continue to suggest places. I want us to have a good list to start, then check any showstoppers on travel spots (for example: some places only good to travel or open from x to y month during the year)

Also i think i will create a new thread in the forum to make it cleaner. Maybe first 2 post is summary and important details.

if we take Munich as a starting point, I think we can make it like this

Munich -> Prague -> Budapest -> Vienna -> Salzburg -> Munich

anyway, renting car and share by 4 people, the cost will be cheaper i think but we got to drive on the left side!

ok, interesting route moody. another alternate; munich - salzburg - vienna - praque - krakow - berlin

Also I do not know if it is cheaper to fly in and return from same airport. kayak.com allows us to search for flights from multiple airports (travel agents may get us better deals). Need to do some research.

as for driving on left side i do it now anyway lol so no worries there, just the understanding of their street signs and laws may be a bit different.

How many days you all plan tentatively for the trip? I think you need to book well in advance to get cheap air/train ticket. Perhaps can consider Eurotrain ? So you all are planning to take flight to Munich from your origin?

Anybody want to suggest a tentative date? Sept 20th to Oct 10th? Also have to cross reference date of travel with activities make sure it is appropriate and available.

MAX Two weeks (16 days) for me due to annual leaves constrain

If we really want to save money and fly to europe, airasia -> Paris gives the fair prices with good timing amid its maybe not comfort seats

airasia LCCT -> Paris, depart around 11.30p.m and arrival at Paris on next morning
airasia London -> LCCT, depart around 11.30p.m and arrival at LCCT on next morning

This combination can be lower than Rm2k during sales time

I suggest you to fix a date
then the rest of us will try to fit in

Let say Sept 20th to Oct 10th
If i only can make it there, I will join
or may i can only make it Sept 20th to 1st Oct, then i will join for this period only

this would be easier for you or else it is hard to find a date that can accommodate everyone

Cheap train tickets only open up 3 months before hand
Flying will be another option via Easy Jet / Ryan Air biggrin.gif sometimes it is cheaper than train tickets

Are you sure your itinerary is doable?
You're trying to do East, Central and West Java in 9 days!

Hi..., what is your plans like? Can you draft out your basic destination and plans. My friend and I are planing to back pack to Thailand by train for about a week to two, between end of September to early October of 2011. So if things work out, maybe we could delay a bit our holidays to join you.

Hi,

Just came back from Krabi trip alone, went there with my 'now ex-gf' but the first night there i just browse her phone (never did that for the pass 3 years) and saw some 'heart stabbing txt' from so call bf of her now.

went down to local internet cafe, bought her the next availa flight and ask her to go back straight the next day. thus im all alone for the entire remaining 3 days 2 night trip which turns out to be awesome as i made some locals & expat (whom own a bar there) friends. it was and awesome 3D 2N trip.

thus i planned to go there again but this time total of 9D8N hald each for Krabi and Phuket.

most prolly early next year. Anybody interested. Do PM me.!

Rgds

Planning to Koh Lipe either next month or Feb/March..

backpacking style..travel route: KL-Hatyai-Pak Barra-Koh Lipe

the gila2 side of me wanting to kayak from Lipe to Adang & camp at the Ranger station on Adang..

the rewards:
- beautiful view from Adang hilltop overlooking Lipe
user posted image

- beaches on Koh Adang you can call your own (very less ppl compared to Lipe)
- nice snorkeling sites around Koh Adang
- Pirate waterfall on Koh Adang
- experience kayaking at sea

PM me for details

I'm planning on a backpacking trip to some parts of the world in 3 years time. So far, almost none of my friends are showing any interested at all.
So i'm looking for like-minded people to join me. It won't be cheap. That's why i'm planning this now. Save money, plan, etc.
And by backpacking i really mean backpacking. Like living in cheap hostels/dorms/camping, eating street food, hiking, lotsa walking and train rides, no shopping, just a loooong exciting adventurous trip learning about the countries and their cultures. Challenged accepted? No? tongue.gif
Oh and preferably people of around the same age group. In their twenties or early thirties. Hehe.

I'm going in March 2012. Can you give me some suggestions for accommodations in Surat Thani and Koh Samui for less than RM 30 per night. Tried Tripadvisor but have not made up my mind about my options because going to HCM in mid February 2012. Then have booked ticket to Sydney pulak in April 2012. My brain real jammed up about my accomodations. for my subsequent travel arrangements. Real sure about enjoying my Vietnam trip though becos well prepared. All first time going to these places.

Decided to stay in Koh Phanghan instead, the vibe seems more budget friendly + got nice off shore beaches so don't need to take that many snorkeling trips on boats (each trip costs like RM180!).

Also = My hostel is RM17 a night ^___^ Rated great, too. Called the Dancing Elephant Hostel.

Do your friend find u weird if u tell them u travel solo?
Why must travel in a group then consider normal.
I've been travel solo to many places before.
Sometime I just say i travel with my other friends from other place.

This is my second trip to Nepal. Looking for trekkers to go with, to Nepal(Everest Base Camp[about 5300m asl]) for 14 days +- . Depart 3 Nov for KUL-BKK-KTM-BKK-KUL

My fitness level is not all that great and therefore will take our time smelling the flowers and taking lots of pictures.

Ex-Katmandu cost full board(excluding shopping, sight-seeing, lavish food/drinks, tips and extras) will be about US$1000. This costing I've done homework with a previous porter I've gone with, will be including permits, porter/guide fees, standard meals, flight tickets from Katmandu to Lukla Airport and back to Kathmandu.

I DO NOT COLLECT ANY MONEY UPFRONT. All is paid when we are there with the guide. Everything is transparent as you want it to be.

Just a personal opinion though. Not recommended to go during year end to at least March for diving trips though this still depend on luck. Monsoon session though some have met with heavy rain during mid year as well.

hi digitalz,

thanks for the head up, do realise that the recommended dive period is mar to sept just like east coast islands of peninsular.

info that i gather is if no rain on jan-feb, less crowd and better chances of more dives to sipadan island. disadvantage is heavy rain and lower viz.

Appreciate ur feedback tho smile.gif




Any1 visited Sipadan and itz surrounding islands? share ur experience please!!

Besides that, i am quiet free from works during Jan and Feb, any other good diving spot within malaysia or south east asia?

Thanks

Well, if you don't mind, you can try the islands in the west side of MY which is not affected. There's also Phi phi island, Phuket and other choices. smile.gif

And yes, the info jan-feb = less crowd is correct but still that depends on luck as well. Even in the peak season, there are chances of low viz and heavy rain too.

if you can take care & manage of your self dont have any concern, be a nice person & make a new friends among backpacker. Because when i was at Koh Tao, i met 1 cute young girl early 20's from germany, she was travel by herself alone for 5 countries using public transport. But she didnt like a party just enjoy the nature, what a brave girl.

i was coming back from Surabaya, East Java for marathon hiking in 6 days Mount Bromo, Mount Semeru, Mount Lawu.. and 2 days in Surabaya. Damn i missed Kawah Ijen because it close for volcano activities.

The experience was superb ~ whether condition was clear and sunny day, i was damn lucky! except for Mount Lawu, got heavy rain at night and the temperature drop until -1 Celsius. Lucky im survive! smile.gif

I am flying to Nepal on 28/07/2012 and climbing Everest Base Camp. After that flying out of Nepal to Amsterdam on 17/08/2012. Plan to travel until end of Merdeka Day - about 2 weeks of Euro trip.

Solo travel currently. Wanna join? No plans for the EUro part of the trip actually, so am OK with most of anything. Heard there's a Tomatina Festival near Valencia on 23/08/2012 so might want to drop by there but am flexible.

the Euro portion of the trip is overlapping with Raya and merdeka day so a 2 week break only need 7 days of cuti.

Feel free to join in for the whole trip or just the Euro portion of the trip.

I am travelling alone to Hanoi during the Hari Raya festive season.

Date: 16-22/8/2012
Place: Hanoi, Vietnam.
Travel partner characteristic: adventurous and pleasant personality.

I booked AA ticket on last promo to Hanoi, and friends around me are not interested in Hanoi, despite Halong Bay is a world heritage.

Looking for travel buddy, i had got the itinerary planned.
Kindly email me at hancie03@yahoo.com if you are interested
Reply if interested and i will post it here.

Thanks!

Excellent!!! rclxms.gif rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

I'm still saving up 15k for travelling next year and it's taking some time, thus I couldn't imagine saving up 125k! I might be joining my friends to Nepal in 2014 but it's far from being confirmed. Nevertheless, good luck to you!

Hello mateys! I'm going on a backpacking trip to Thailand for a couple of weeks next month. I'll fly into Chiang Mai on Nov 5th and will work my way down south. I'm planning on visiting Chiang Rai, spending couple of days in Bangkok, and then beaching hooping down on the Andaman Coast (Phuket, Phi Phi, Krabi, and the like). I'm don't have any solid plans yet and hope to keep my trip as spontaneous as possible. I spent two weeks in Bangkok and Krabi last year and loved it! So this is my return trip. If there are like minded adventurers out there willing to join me or meet up on any point of the journey, please leave me a pm!

PS: Oh and I will be BACKPACKING in the most literal sense. Which means no frills or no unnecessary luxuries. So if you can't take cold showers, cheap guesthouses, walking/hiking, or generally roughing it, this is probably not the trip for you.

i can vouch for LAOS being 1 of the best SEA country to backpack. out of the many backpacking trips, LAOS is still the most memorable one for me. Luang Prabang, Vang Vien.. even Phonsavan was great (that where we met and mingle with the local and stuff.)

Several weeks isn't long at all. If you really want to have a good experience, see new places, and meet new people a couple of weeks is just enough. Besides, when you're going from place to place it really feels like too little time. I've only been to pataya for half a day and didn't really like it, felt really touristy and expensive. I prefer staying in cheaper guesthouses where you could talk to anyone over a beer and meet lots of people to hang out with.

Maybe you can ask your friends and family to bank in to your Maybank account so that you can withdraw it from where you are now. Or how about cash advance from your Credit Card?

Never bring ringgit beyond ASEAN. If you want to bring cash, bring USD.
Bring all form of money with you at all time: cash, debit, credit card, western union card etc. There're things that's worse than no money changer such as theft or robberies.

I'd love to travel to Laos, I've heard from alot of backpackers that it's the best SEA country they have been to. But I can't due to time and budget constraints. Will you be heading to Thailand by any chance though?

Nvr been to Laos, but hv been wanting to visit it!

Myanmar is absolutely awesome - and do consider that too.

Planning on West Sumatra (Padang, Bukit Tinggi, Lake Maninjau & Singkarak, Sianok Canyon; and got an urge to drop by the exotic Mentawai Islands - we'll see) for a week in late March 2013. Any takers?

And I've been thinking of beaching in Palawan, Philippines by year end too. Probably two weeks.

Hopefully can make it to Flores and Komodo Island in 2014, and perhaps Nepal too. smile.gif

jogja just put 2 nights enough,
first day go to the prambanan, and go to malioboro (the pasar malam kind of thing)
then second day go to borobudur, the istana yogya area.
that all place nd to go, other things like kaliurang n beach u can go if u hv more time

jakarta u can skip tou..unless u like to see metropolitan city

bandung u go to lembang (the bandung's highland)
go to the volcano, natural sulfur hot spring, the peak, kampung daun, etc -there are lot of resort type of place in lembang
go to the factory outlet, pasar baru.
other than that is optional (if its 3-5 of you, better rent car as public tranport is not convenient/ dificult)

bali, ah, once u arive there u can easily get lot of atraction place, tourist information is easy to get, so just enjoy a long the way

plz dont take random taxi, always try to get blue bird taxi, it is very good, always meter, driver always honest n polite, car clean - much more better than KL taxi! haha
