I’d long heard about the backpacking route starting in Thailand and going onwards, eventually to Cambodia. I was prepared for it to be busy, although perhaps not quite as swarming in tourists as it is! I wasn’t prepared to completely fall in love with Asia.
Our journey went from Thailand, to Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia. We also took in some of Indonesia and Malaysia.
I don’t know how long it would take for you to be here and think that you have covered a fair amount of this area. Perhaps it will never be enough! I do know that I shall definitely be back to take a stab at some more.
The people, the weather, the food, the landscape… make battling with the tourists worth it.
