We've got 13 days until we leave for Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand! We're pretty excited.
We fly in to Hanoi, Vietnam and meet up with good friends Brent and Steph who are just about finished teaching english in S. Korea. Then a day later, our friends Ron and Yvette get in.
At that point, we are going to tour Halong Bay on a junk boat (not a literal translation) then scoot down to Ho Chi Minh for a day or so.
Then we cross into Cambodia and see the Killing Fields in Phnom Penh (Nom Pen), travel north to Siem Reap to see the sunrise at Angkor Watt.
After that, we move to Chiang Mai in north Thailand where we will do bamboo rafting, elephant tours, ancient hill tribes and the more adventurous stuff before flying to the island Ko Samui for some R&R on a white sand beach resort, then head to Bangkok.
I have always heard stories but thought they were urban legends but in the Lonely Planet book, it talks about "ping pong shows" in the red light district! Pop! Pop!
Nothing is really planned because we are just going to do what we feel like, when we feel like it. Each day we'll ask the hotel or guest house to arrange the next day's tour or else we'll just take two steps onto the street with our packs on and I'm guessing it'll take less than 30 seconds for someone to come up and offer their tour guide services.
Either way, we leave here April 26th (Debbie's 28th birthday) and fly home from Bangkok May 25th.

Ping pong shows, eh?
Do I want to know how they hold the paddles?
Do they even USE paddles??
I think the ping pong show is more about distance and rapid fire. Could be accuracy as well but I'll be sure to cover my beer stein.
It sounds like you already did win a small lottery if you're flying that far... have fun and enjoy.
