I have plenty of time. But not plenty of money. My initial plan was to move slowly through Malaysia to Indonesia. Did not take wet seasons into consideration...
Is it good idea (weather wise) to go to Laos and Vietnam now? Or somewhere else?
I would not mind coming back to this island afterwards and spend here half-a-year before proceeding with my original plan.
Partying and sightseeing are not really for me. I am looking for tranquillity, nature, seaside (didn't get enough of it yet).
Reread my post and yes, I am getting old :)

If you take it slow through Thailand looking at arriving in Laos in mid to late October, Laos is terrific in November -- Vietnam a bit more of a mixed bag.

Laos is terrific in November?
I am arriving in Saigon in the middle of November.
I have decided to go south because of the weather I am learning about.
That is after 10 days on Phu Quoc island unwinding.
Weather wise. Is this a good idea???
Due to weather I am planning to head south to Malaysia and then begin my trip north avoiding typhoons.
I enjoy a good storm and tropical rains but no typhoons and flooding for me. Health reasons. I've seen 'em, they were fun, but no more.
So Laos is terrific in November?
I am in SEA for 6 months. Trying to get off on the correct(left) foot.
I still have time to decide while I hear from you guys who are there now.
Seattle is getting cool and wet, Emery

Come stay with me in Sai Khao 60km South of Krabi.
I'm building a Farmstay and need some people with muscles.
At the moment we are asking for donations of building materials in return for accomodation and meals each day.
For example if you donate 15 bags of cement 2,750baht we give you 7 nights accomodation and three meals each day.
There's lots of things to do for free. You can go fishing in the local canal and catch fish for dinner. You can help grow veges in the gardens which we'll eat for dinner. You can even tag along with some of the locals to see rubber tapping, palm plantations, take a cruise on the camp motorbike to some of the surrounding tourist spots, or hang out on the farm wasting your days away.
Life is easy here and were all really friendly. We just need volunteers to help build the camp and farmstay up.
Let me know if you are interested.
Cheers

Thanks Caripito
I have already found myself today walking
(well, limping, actually :) with a smile on my face.
"I enjoy a good storm and tropical rains..."
This made me think: why am I running away from it?
Decided to stay put here till I am bored (6 months?),
and then proceed with my original plan.
If you end up visiting this island - drop me a line,
I'll give you a short intro. And a cup of tea :)
