vietnam laos tours="vietnam laos tours" Travelling to South East Asian with $3000. Can it be done?
Next month Ill be travelling to Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia n Thailand.. Spending 2 weeks in each country
Ive got $3000 as spending money Ill use for accomodation, tours, food etc etc... Do you think itll be enough? BAH! I meant South East Asia..
When traveling in South East Asia any amount of money could be in excess or dangerously small . I'll make myself more clear: if you have a good travel insurance, which covers all kind of accidents ( the ones occurred while driving a rented vehicle or motorbike, for instance, or practicing "dangerous sports" or trekking) , which pays the medical expenses ON THE SPOT and covers an eventual bail bond and med-evac, 3000 bucks are more than enough, provided they are in traveler cheques, which are fully refundable if lost or stolen. Pickpocketing, theft and burglary are still common in the region. A 4-days motorbike crash treatment in a decent Thai hospital can cost you as much as 4,000 dollars, and med-evac ( depends by where is your home country) starts from 10,000 bucks. That's why you need an insurance. A good one, fully comprehensive, costs around 150 USD per month of traveling. Best bet is to get an Insurance in Thailand, valid for all the ASEAN countries. Or use Bupa Insurance :have a look to their websites : http://www.bupa.com/countryindicator
cambodia and laos tours="cambodia and laos tours" Best Southeast Asia tours or advice?
I am interested in Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Thailand, ect. Has anyone went on a tour or just by themselves and had a positive experience. What was the tour name? I would like to embrace the culture and eat and live like them. I don't want to stay at the Hilton and eat McDonald's. What are the must see places? Any advice or knowledge you have is appreciated.
For Cambodia and Laos - the advice is - organize it all by yourself. These countries are easy to do-it yourself. There are plenty cheap and decent guesthouses and I have not seen any McDonalds there. Make your bookings via Internet. In Cambodia you get a visa-on-arrival at the airport ($20). I guess it's the same but $35 in Laos (not sure, I don't need a visa to Laos myself).
Must-see places in Cambodia - Angkor temples!!!!!! in Siem Reap. In Laos - Luang Prabang town and around. In fact, Laos is for trekkers, nature lovers etc.

Cambodia sets its eyes on the south coast
CAMBODIA - With tourist arrivals in Cambodia approaching the 3 million mark, the country is seeking to diversify its tourism offer. As Siem Reap and the nearby Angkor temples reach saturation, the Cambodian Government is turning its eyes to the 400-kilometre coast along the Gulf of Siam.
The area receives only 162,000 international tourists a year, a mere 5% of all arrivals in the country (and compared to 44% for Siem Reap). The coast has some 60 hotels with almost 3,000 rooms, the majority of them in the coastal city of Sihanoukville (45 hotels with 1,945 rooms). Only a few of them offer world-class standards: Cambodia's Sokha Group is present with the Sokha Beach Resort, a five-star resort, while the Independence Hotel, inaugurated in 1963, reopened two years ago as a four-star property.
However, more luxury and first-class properties are to come. The Royal Group Cambodia has recently revealed its ambition to build Asia's 'first environmentally planned resort island', pioneering high-end international tourism on the country's idyllic coastline. The vision is to develop the pristine island of Koh Rong ‑ a 30-minute boat ride from the coastal city of Sihanoukville ‑ into an ecologically sustainable resort paradise rivalling established Asian resort Islands such as Bali and Phuket.
The Sokha Group is involved in two major resort developments, the Sokha O'Chheuteal beach and casino in Sihanoukville and the Sokha Bokor Resort. Both are scheduled to open in 2012. A Japanese project is also taking shape in Sihanoukville with residence apartments and a hotel. The Song Saa resort, an exclusive 25-villa property will open by the end of the year on an island off Sihanoukville. And in Ream, Accor has signed for a M-Gallery property by 2013.
The crucial problem for the coast is the lack of air access. There are still no regular flights to Sihanoukville and in the short term Cambodia's national airline Cambodia Angkor Air can only promise charter flights …
