This is a late entry (yet again…) about the recent backpacking trip which I did in the IndoChina-ian countries of Thailand, Laos and Cambodia. I went on this great adventure with my cousin, Carol. It was our first backpacking trip together and first backpacking trip ever. We were on a budget (which both of us blew) and visited 3 countries in 2 weeks. There wasn’t much time considering the distance and places we went, but it was a blast!
Duration : 2 weeks
Dates : 27/08/07 – 10/09/07
Countries : Thailand, Laos, Cambodia.
We were mainly travelling the old-fashion style using trains, busses and feet… we wanted to take things slow, view the sites, absorb the scences and atmosphere as well as not hurt our pockets so much. 
We began the journey by train from Kuala Lumpur to Hatyai using the KTM komuter sleeper ‘Ekspress Langkawi EL8′ which costs us MYR52.00 each. The journey north itself was already fun for us!

We took the KTM (Keretapi Tanah Melayu) sleeper train up north from Kuala Lumpur to Hatyai, Thailand. The journey was comfortable and sleeping wasn’t very much a problem. We spent the day in Hatyai walking around and seeing the city before proceeding further up north to our destination… Kanchanaburi, Thailand. (Part 2)
