I've been travel solo to Germany, Italy and Japan smile.gif . hmm, not worry about security or convenience, but the cost of travel. With our weak MYR and their strong USD, it will be very expensive if I were to travel there alone. sad.gif

Compared to europe or japan, cambodia is still relatively cheap laugh.gif icon_idea.gif
$1.50 can buy you a big meal already. $0.50 for beers drool.gif

Plan to skip, ferry cost is expensive... furthermore samui is nothing...
Main objective is k.phangan...  brows.gif
Which slot ?

Samui for relaxing lor. Honestly, i find koh phangan beaches ok only. Haadrin is pretty nice, but i wouldn't swim there during full moon, a lot of ppl urine there brows.gif

Still not sure, depend on the party... if meet a lot of new girlfriends  drool.gif , may end up in the morning... then go back room sleep until afternoon, so afraid unable to catch ferry to samui on 3/5...  tongue.gif

Ok.. If only two islands, u shud definitely extend a night in koh tao, so u can go on the half/full day snorkeling trip around koh tao (550 baht only, both half and full day also same price, inclusive of trip to koh nangyuan). Visited the various sites around koh tao like shark bay, aow leuk, hin wong, mango bay. Worth every penny! drool.gif
Koh nangyuan wasn't the highlight of koh tao for me, but the snorkeling trip was!

EDIT: forgot u have full moon on the 2nd, sigh... sad.gif

Thought u stick around until midnight onli hmm.gif
Very tiring to stay all night lor, unless u stay in haad rin la, but hv u booked ur accommodation in phangan yet?

haha, true. anyway my main concern was on the transportation (tutuk+guide, which is roughly USD50 per day) and accomodation (USD40~50 per room)...
*
Not so expensive lah... hmm.gif
I stayed at Boutique Cambo hotel - $19/night
Tuk-tuk (you don't need a guide there)- $15-20 / day only
If you want to really budget, can rent bicycle - only $1 per day icon_idea.gif

Any backpacking trip to Indonesia this september? Plan to take 2 week holiday but havent decided on the location yet.
Anybody backpacked around Indonesia before? Can share your itinerary? I wonder how many cities I can cover in 2 weeks. I heard their public transportation is not reliable.

I did. Went to Jakarta, Bandung, Dieng, Yogyakarta, Bromo and Ijen over 12 days. AMA, will try to answer brows.gif
My blog has the complete itinerary, but I'm still working on the entry. Will link it here once it's done laugh.gif
