Let's go travel!

Yes...I am packing up.

I am getting ready to travel.

This time...it is a 2 months trip to Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, China, Laos and back to Thailand, Chiangmai to spend chinese new year with my family.

A lot of techincal worries...even before we start the trip...

1) Visa for vietnam...In the past, singaporean does not need a VISA to enter Vietnam...but starting from 2006 November...it was required...
We rush down to the embassy to get it done. Was lucky enough to collect it last friday.

2) Railway was closed due to severe floods in several regions in Malaysia....We bought train tickets 2 weeks ago to travel by TRAIN from Malaysia to Thailand. Railway was opened and resume service after christmas. Phew...

3) Coastal storm in Thai islands...7000 residents and tourists were stranded in koh taos (island) because ferry stop running due to coastal storm around sura thani area ( Jetty). We initially planned to dive in Koh tao, but after this news...dive trip was cancelled and we decided to move upwards and go china instead.

4) Latest news...bankok bombing....embassies warn traveller not to travel to bankok. We stick to our plan so far...while observing changes....
To be updated...

So much so for this trip...

Still look forward...of cos...

The more difficult it is...the more exciting...

But Safety First...ALWAYS!

World peace and Earth peace, please.

Wish me luck.
