hi everyone!

halo ppl... I shall blog.. haha...

So yups..

THE TRIP

I think Cil wants to go backpack to Laos and Cambodia (that's my original idea as well), but I think that'll take quite a long time (at least 2 weeks) and I realise I won't probably be able to travel for that long as well..
So I think going VN and Bangkok is good..
how long do you think we want/can stay in VN? Then go Bangkok after that.. coz from what I gather plane ticket from Hanoi-Bangkok is cheaper than Bangkok-Hanoi..

So probably Van can try to find out how much does the plane ticket to Bangkok cost?
The estimated cost for a day in Bangkok is around S$25 (inclusive on accomodation, but this will be guesthouse not hotels).. So it really depends on how much you want to spend..

If you want to go to other places in Thailand I heard it's quite easy to go from Bangkok itself..

I think early June is good for me (as long as I've gotten all e uni stuff settled.. or if not I guess mid June). But Mae Yue can probably only go during the holiday is it? (did you write in to NUS in the end?) so yeah.. I think we can plan around mid June first.. Is that ok with everyone?

So can we confirm who's going? and if you are going please post here the following:
1. Preferred travelling date + length
2. Places to go (just stay in Bangkok or other cities? the Vietnam one I think depends on Van. haha.)
3. Travel interest (museums/nature/shopping/ just randomly go around the city)
4. Type of travel (budget eg guesthouses, take bus if going to other cities or comfortable eg hotel, take domestic flights)
5. Maximum budget (excluding cost of flight from home to Vietnam/Bangkok and the return flight)

Example:
1. preferably within 9-22 June (2nd & 3rd week). Length preferably 10 days, not more than 14.
2. Vietnam: Hanoi (definitely, haha.) Halong Bay, or any other rural areas around Hanoi that is nice to see..
Thailand: would like to go to other places around Bangkok. Probably pattaya (only 1.5/2 hrs drive, can hire a cab or take bus). Other places: http://www.travelfish.org/trip_planner/thailand-one-week-holiday
3. Randomly go around the city and other places around it, visit some museums/temples (not so much), and probably 1 shopping day in thailand. haha.
4. budget.
5. Can spend around $800 lar I think.

Ok. So I think the plan now is VN and Bangkok? so REPLY to this post ASAP and answer all the questions so we can start planning (like booking tickets, hotels, tell parents, etc.)

This is post is really long.
