Hye, reading your post made me more gung-ho about going backpacking. Just a question though, I’m going to have 2 months hols from study mid next year and I’d like to backpack across Indochina for a month alone. Only thing that I’m concern right now is I’m not sure how much money should I bring. How much did you spend in total when you went backpacking across Indochina? Hope to hear from you soon!

You can go alone, but try to group up with other travelers at your destination. So, be friendly. You just need some common sense and know when and how to avoid trouble when you sense one is coming your way. Always have a backup plan and extra protection such as travel insurance and the contacts of your country’s embassy handy. Do some homework before you start your journey.

Hi! I loved reading this.
I am going around Indochina (Thailand, laos, vietnam and cambodia) in two week ) im soo excited.
Do you know where i could find mobile sims for these places? I will be spending most of my time in Thailand… Thinking to just get one for there or do you think its worth getting ones for the other countries (going to be in others for 25 days or so)
Thanks
