I've got to get from Laos to Bangkok first, so when alls said and done its a couple of airfares ,and a lot of transit. getting easier and cheaper to fly out of Vientiane these days though, or the other option is to jump in the car and drive to udon and fly Nokia or airasia got a cheap ticket to Guangzhou this week and will take the train to hong kong, travel threads are the meat and potatoes of TD I reckon, thanks for takin the time
