Time flies. Feel like only back from Spain yesterday and will have another trip to Taiwan next week. Unfortunately, there's a typhoon developing in that region now. Typhoon Soulik is advancing in full force toward the island now. Taiwan's Central Weather Bureau forecast the typhoon will reach mainland China on 14 July, that's the date we will be in Taipei. Hopefully there will be better weather from Sunday onward. By the way, the weather forecast on CBW's website is superb and up-to-date. So much better than our local meteorology.
Category: Travel OK, time is catching up. I have about 3 weeks left before the trip. Have drafted out initial itinerary: 6 May - Fly to BKK and transit to Udon Thani. From Udon Thani, go to Nong Khai and cross over Laos border. Immigration office opens until 10pm. Hope to reach Vientiane before midnite. 7 May - Excursion around Vientiane. 8 May - Travel to Vang Vieng. Not really want to spend 11 hours on the bus to get to Luang Prabang. Have a pit stop will be nicer. 9 May - Continue to Luang Prabang. 10 May - Excursion around Luang Prabang. 11 May - Slow boat to Pak Beng. Mandatory pit stop due to slowliness of the boat. 12 May - Slow boat to Huoy Xai. I guess have to over night here (immigration office might be closed at time of arrival). 13 May - Cross over to Thailand. Might not stay in Chiang Rai. Proceed to Chiang Mai. 14 May -Back to Malaysia.
