I'm going traveling to Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. What's the best way to get around there?
I land in Bangkok. The places outside Thailand I really want to see are Vientiane, Siem Reap and Saigon. I looked at a few sites and they don't really give the same information.
Thanks :)
You can fly to all these places OR Buses are frequent and cheap. Cambodia:There are several class options too. From Bangkok, go to Ekkamai bus station and get the bus to Trat. From Trat bus station take the [hourly] mini bus to Hat Lek and walk across the border to Cambodia. Another tuk tuk or motorbike will take you the 12 km to Ko Kong. It's better to spend the night there as buses don't go in the afternoon. Guesthouses are cheap. I paid $4 for my admittedly grungey room. But it's just one night. Bus station ko Kong to Sikhanoukville is around $8 and takes about 4 hours. Beautiful trip through the mountains. From Sikhanoukville there are buses to Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, etc Ho Chi Minh or Hanoi.
Laos: Train to Nong Khai from Bangkok. Get a sleeper. Walk across the border into Laos and take a tuk tuk to Vientiane. It's a bit of a dive though. Try Vang Vieng . Much more fun. And Luang Prabang for a bit of culture.
