Hello! So me and the boy have decided to try for a SE Asia trip around September, once a good air special comes up! No real itinerary yet, but hoping to see the wonderful foursome - Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos. It's the first time for both of us, and I have a ton of questions about what it's actually going to be like. I've been reading the boards, but I want a better feel of the experience!
So my questions are..... how are the locals towards foreigners? Did you find it chaotic or pretty smooth traveling within countries and between borders? How should women (and men) dress to not completely stand out? Any live music?
Have any necessary tips? Awesome stops we should NOT miss?
Tell me stories!!
