The Andaman coast will have better weather than the gulf of Thailand in December. Other than that it looks an OK plan to me too.

I figure you'd be hitting Laos & northern VN at about an OK time.

Other than that, if you accept that you'll be in SE Asia from Sept - Dec, and so don't concentrate too much on getting at some place because the weather @ the place is supposed to be 'right', I suggest you'll be fine.

I made some comments here that I would have presented here. So, please pick up the ideas I was suggesting there and apply them to you.

Personally, with the time you've got, I'd be trying to steer clear of the Banana Pancake Trail as much as I could (go here to read that thread).

As has been said by so many others on Travelfish - the must see places aren't must see in the same way as Europe, etc. Rather, it's being in a (hopefully non touristy) place to soak up the way SE Asians live, enjoy and emote.

On deciding where to go, what to do, etc, try not to rush around like a blue-arsed fly. Just cruise!!! ...(on this, I wrote a few words here).

Hope this helps.

Cheers

Before planning your travel destination , it is very important to understand the climatic condition of that particular place as it will help to make the prior preparation .China ,India,japan ,singapore ,Dubai are some of the places where in you can discover the epitome of beauty.

There are several routes to travel to asia, I think that the best route can be throgh by air, it is the fastest way to travel.

I can say that the forum is very much reliable about the times share talk, just keep it up!

Laos to Vietnam could be a pain by bus - the bus journey from Vientiane to Hanoi is infamously bad and the possibility of travelling from Southern Laos to Hue is to be regarded as theoretical even if you find a travel agent that'll sell you tickets.
(I actually did the latter: after getting a partial refund for a joint ticket involving a change to a bus that wasn't going to turn up for two days I had two days of good fun meeting surprised locals and failing to flag down long distance buses whilst hopping between towns on local transport. Not a route I'd recommend though.)


Thailand to Northern Laos to Southern Laos to Cambodia to Saigon to North Vietnam and then a cheap flight to BKK from Hanoi (to finish up in the islands) is probably the most logical itinerary - if you book at the right time an AirAsia flight shouldn't cost much at all. Flights from Laos, on the other hand, tend to be quite expensive.

If you're intending on taking the slow boat in Laos between Huay Xai (Thai border) to Luang Prabang, you'll probably be sharing the boat with fewer first-time tourists if organise your itinerary so you go the other way (Laos to Northern Thailand), which may or may not be a good thing.

it is depend to where are yo go to in Asia.
