    Plan is to go Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia then back to Thailand for Full Moon party.

    Any tips hints or advice ie interesting places, how to budget, cheapest way to travel and general good advice based on prior experience or just share your plans aswell.

    Going for 10 weeks from mid June and money is not really an object but would love to spend as little as possible.

    Info on internal flights, Visas, travel etc would be much appreciate and could help all travelers alike.

    www.travelfish.org is an excellent website with more information than you could imagine. They have a good forum too with quick replies. I used it before for a two week holiday and it´s brilliant. It has routes, suggested itineries, weather, travel etc etc.

    I actually thought Phi-Phi was probably the worst place I visited in Thailand. Overpriced, overrated and just a downright unpleasant vibe. Full Moon Party is a bit of a sham as well but we still did it as we just happened to be in the area at the time. Its one of the things you do once just so you can say you did it. Ko Lanta was my favourite of the Southern Thai islands, just the right mix of party and beach life.

    Laos and Cambodia are both quite good and you could see and do all the major stuff in two weeks, e.g. Angkor Wat, Tubing, Luang Prabang etc. Vietnam was where I had the worst experiences in South East Asia but it seems to be a love it or hate it place. See this thread for what I mean.

    If at all possible look into flying to the Phillipines for a couple of weeks, its dirt cheap with air asia or cebu pacific. Everyone seems to dismiss it but it really was highlight of SEA for me!
