Hi all, earlier this month I went on a short backpacking trip to some parts of SEA. My route was Manila -> Kuala Lumpur -> Vientiane -> Udon Thani -> Mae Sot -> Myawaddy -> Mawlamyine -> Yangon -> KL -> MNL. It was quite hectic, as I made the trip in less than 2 weeks, since I had limited vacation time. I knew that my trip would coincide with the Water Festival (Pi Mai in Laos, Songkran in Thailand & Thingyan in Myanmar). I didn't initially want to travel during the festival as I knew that it would be chaotic, but it was the only time that I could get a break from work.
I'll include a few highlights from the other countries that I visited before crossing over to Myanmar, since I may not be able to make separate threads for them (pic threads are time-consuming), so please bear with me. Cheers!
