So, here we are, less than two weeks from the time to take the plane to Bangkok and start the expedition. Of course, there are still so many things to prepare, guides and books to read about the region, entries into this blog to write... and so little time!! I should also find time to pack of course, get my last vaccinations, insurance, hotel for the first days, list of addresses to send postcards to...
Well, let's not panic and start from the beginning. How will we get there? By plane of course. To choose the tickets we checked on various large internet travel agencies (travelocity, expedia, ...), and then checked about the quality of the various budget air companies on internet forums like airlinequality
. To choose the route first we saw that the cheapest destination was Bangkok (obviously, as it is the most tourist-friendly, or may be just the other way around), and the best origin airport was Charles de Gaulle in Paris (some other airports had also interesting connections). To get to Paris we are using other low-budget companies, not the connexions suggested by the large national companies (I actually live in Paris, on the RER (suburban metro) line to the airport, so that my place has become a convenient stop-over).
Much useful information and advice has come from guides like Lonely Planet and others, and from sites on the internet but most specially from the experiences of friends that have done some journey like this one (or much more adventurous) before. Thanks everyone!!
