Backpacking Laos, Thailand, Cambodia & Vietnam in Asia - places to visit?

Question

I planning on traveling through Asia next year & i'm working on basic plans such as places to visit just now. I plan on going for at least 2 months, hopefully 3 or 4 though.

I intend to visit Thailand, Laos, Cambodia & Vietnam amongst others but need help with the places to visit in those countries.

I want to see places of intrest & culture, some nightlife & fun activities amongst other things but anything really.

What cities/areas would you suggest visiting, why & how long should I stay there for to make best use of my time? What is there to do in that area?

Thanks

Answer 1

Bangkok is a must.  

There is nothing better than food stalls along Bangkok's streets. BBQ pork and meat balls on skewers, deep fried chicken, pancake, roti, fried noodle, noodle, Papaya Salad, and many more. The best places to find a good variety of food stalls include Vachira - Dusit (near St Gabriel College), Khao San Road, Chatuchak Market, Tong Lo, Suan Lum Night Bazaar, Soi Rang Nam, Siam Square, Pratunaam and Chinatown.

in Bangkok, don't miss:

-Grand Palace & nearby Wat Po where you can see giant gold reclining buddha

-Chinatown (Chinese food are great! excellent for shopping)

-and further more shopping in Siam Paragon, MBK, Gaysorn Plaza, Lumpini Park and local markets

- restaurants along the chaopraya river http://www.discovery-thailand.com/Down%2...

Phuket is the biggest island in Thailand, and there are several excellent beaches. The waters are usually clear and very good for diving. There are a lot of tourists all year round, but slightly less during low season (rainy season), from May till September.

As long as you avoid the usually crowded Patong and Karon beaches on the west coast, you can easily find remote beaches for walking, jogging, or just relaxing. There are not many sights to speak of on the island, but perhaps that makes it all so relaxed.

Two of the main attractions near Phuket are the Phi Phi Islands and the Phang Nga Bay, with the so-called James Bond Island. The name comes from The Bond film "Man with The Golden Gun" which was partly filmed on this small island. There is a good choice of organized day trips from Phuket to both the Phi Phi Islands and Phang Nga Bay.
