Thailand And Laos Journey: 4. Itinerary

Thailand and Laos (and Myanmar if I can manage it)

Hello, Sawatdee kaa and Sabai dee,

My next trip will be Thailand and Laos, and this is all about the before, the trip and the after - similar to my Malaysia/Cambodia blog. I am putting together from start to finish - tickets, do's and don'ts, tours, where to stay, places to see, things to do, as well as useful extras like transport, good places to eat, what to wear, climate, tourist traps, tricks and tips and whatever else I can think of that will be useful.

If you have any tips or advice, please, feel free to leave a comment and add your bit - whatever you think may be helpful or interesting.
Cheers.

4. Itinerary - 1

Working out my itinerary was surprisingly easy, but getting it right and making it all come together is another thing altogether. How many nights should I stay here, how many nights do I stay there? The list of places was now Kanchanaburi , Chinag Mai, Chiang Rai, Tachilek, Houei Xai, Luang Prabang, Vang Vieng, Vientiane and Bangkok.
What I ended up with looks like
Day 1 and 2: Kanchanaburi (Melbourne>KL, KL>BKK, then bus)
Day 3: Overnight on train (Kanchanaburi >Bangkok)
Days 4, 5, 6: Chiang Mai
Day 7 Chiang Rai - bus return to Tachilek
Day 8: ?
Day 9: Pak Ben
Days 10, 11, 12: Luang Prabang
Day 13: Vang Vieng
Days 14, 15, 16: Vientiane
Day 17: Overnight train
Days 18, 19, 20, 21: Bangkok
