An Adventurous Route for Backpacking South East Asia By ParryLoeffler

The South East Asian region of the world - especially Thailand,Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos - has become increasingly popular asa destination for those travelers seeking a more adventurousholiday than can be had merely sipping fruity, ice-cold drinksat your typical beach resort. However, an adventurous trip tothese developing countries raises many questions and one of thefirst is what route to take, which I will try to answer in thisarticle.

Most people with enough time would like to get a taste for allfour that I’ve mentioned earlier, so I’ll concentrate on a routethat includes all of them. It would take about three months ifyou spent a few days at each stop. Keep in mind that therecertainly are options available that would allow you to skipcountries or even shorten the trip to fit into a moreconstrained timeline, but this should give you a good startingpoint for further research.

As far as getting around, travel by public bus, train, and boatis readily available and often full of adventure after all,traveling with a busload of chickens or the occasional box offrogs just adds to the fun, right? However, those looking for alittle more comfort will usually be able to find more upscaleoptions.

Many people that intend on doing a circuit though South EastAsia will fly into Bangkok since it is a major hub. Bangkok isalso rich with markets, temples, and plenty of fabulous food.Around Bangkok, there are several options for some side tripswhich allow you to get your feet wet. Kanchanaburi is a fewhours away and is the location of the infamous bridge over theRiver Kwai and the Death Railway, the Erewan National Park, andthe Three Pagodas Pass near the Myanmar border. If you are notgoing to the southern islands, but wouldn’t mind checking outthe beach scene, you could also take a few days and visit KoSamet or Ko Chang (less expensive) to get a taste of islandlife. Both are only a few hours from Bangkok by bus.

Once you’ve had your fill of the Bangkok area, work your waynorth to Chiang Mai. I like the train and it can be takenovernight, for those low on time, or during the day for thosethat wish to see some of the beautiful countryside. Chiang Maiis much less hectic than Bangkok, has some opportunities forgreat sight seeing, and also has a great cooking school! If youwant to check out some smaller towns in Thailand, you can dothat from Chiang Mai with a little add-on side trip. It’s a loopthat goes by public bus to the wonderful village of Pai which isset up in the misty valleys that are laden with lush ricepaddies, and then continues by bus or boat to Mae Hong Son, thenby bus back to Chiang Mai.

In any case, from Chiang Mai, continue your journey north toChiang Rai and onwards to Chiang Khong, which is the jumpingpoint into your second country, Laos. You cross the Mekong Riverwith a short boat ride and enter Laos on the opposite bank atHuay Xai. From there you immediately continue on to LuangPrabang by slow boat or fast boat (latter not recommended,unless you enjoy wearing a crash helmet), making an optionalovernight stay in the rustic village of Pacbeng.

After spending a few days in Luang Prabang you could do a sidetrip up north, exploring the small northern villages of Laos fora few days, or just head down to the chilled-out town of VangVieng by bus or air. The road route to Vang Vieng is sometimesthe target of bandits, so be sure to check what recent activityhas been like, and then make your decision - but the safetyrecord of air travel may not be much more inspiring!

Vang Vieng is full of fun kayaking, biking and cavingopportunities, so you’ll want to plan for a few days
