Hello all - I am new to this site and am about to go on my first solo backpacking trip for 3 1/2 months to China and SEA. I am starting in Beijing where I will be studying for 2 weeks then traveling throughout China, Tibet, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and Thailand. Just want some advice on what not to miss in all these countries and the best places to hike, see temples and party or coarse. I really want to make it down for the Full Moon Party in Thailand - has anyone been?? Also, do I need to be worried about booking hosels ahead of time or about border crossings??
