Thailand Vacay - need side trip suggestion Laos or Cambodia?
Ticket Booked (nov 6-29)
Travel Clinic tomorrow
Buying my backpack in the next week.
Flying into BKK Nov 7th in the pm.
My buddy and I, are debating a side trip to either LAOS or CAMBODIA.
I've been told by others :
"...depends on what you're looking for... cambodia is slightly more developed, more historical sites and temples, laos, more nature-y and cave tubbing (if the water level isn't too high. i liked both, in different ways... if you're looking for nicer cambodia, if you're going for back packing, laos"
I need VISA for either one, so need some more input to see which one to grab. Where is the consulate to get either VISA in Calgary?
Will Thailand be party enough that i'll want quiet Laos to relax, or is the parties in Cambodia a totally different affair ??
are there Land mines still in Cambodia?
Which is easier to travel through or tie in with my Thailand trip. If i do northern Thailand, then Laos is easier, and vicer versa?
Surfing thru travelfish.org lots of sample itinerary, just cant makeup my mind.
Any comments, suggestions, trip advice much appreciated.
