TRAVELLING IN ASIA BY TRAIN

by DennyP

ASIA ..Asia is a huge area of the world with many countries and can only speak of the countries that I have visited. Transportation is a big subject usually on travel..So here I will just mention about the trains that I used in my trips through Asia. On my journeys through Asia on my way to London by train I must say that the various train journeys through the different countries varied as much as the countries themselves. A lot of the journeys were o/night and I used sleepers. I wasn't dissapointed with any really.Although the Vietnamese trains weren't at the top of the list.. The fares I found to be very reasonably priced everywhere that I went. The beds were clean and apart from what I was told I found them to be safe with many countries having their own "railway police" on trains and stations. I really love to travel by train as I beleive it to be the safest way to travel..Having...

INTERNATIONAL AND LOCAL AIRLINES I USED IN S.E.AS

by DennyP

ASIA ..There were times that I used flights within Asia and also getting to and home from Asia..These are the airlines that I used and a part from a few delays and one cancellation.Some of these flights were within countries others were international flights..Most were fine..I may add I don't like to fly. Lion Air from Jogyakarta (Java) to Denpassar (Bali) good flight although a four hour delay..Budget airline. This airline is usually delayed!! Jet Star from Perth(Oz) to Singapore. good flight ..budget airline .book well in advance.. Vietnam Airlines from Da Nang to Hue.this flight was cancelled till the next day.Passengers furnished with good o/night accomodation.A reasonably low cost airline.. Vietnam Airlines From Hue to Hanoi This is a good airline..not really expensive. MAS (Malaysian Air Service) from Hanoi to KL to Sydney. excellent airline. MAS (Malaysian Air Service)from Bangkok...

BUSSES ANOTHER WAY TO GO IN S.E. ASIA

by DennyP

BUSSES . Although I always travel by train whenever possible sometimes there aren't any trains to catch!! ..This I found to be the case in Laos and Cambodia, unfortunately after huge conflicts in these places the trains no longer run. The busses that I took were (long distance busses) and they were excellent , fast, and clean through Laos and Cambodia and Vietnam , of course local city busses in Vietnam, Myanmar, China and Thailand. All so different all so interesting ..like the busy local bus in Biejing to Badaling (and return) to visit the "Great Wall". The small and really crowded local busses in Yangon Myanmar..Also busy and crowded local busses in Saigon Vietnam, overnight sleeper bus from Saigon Nha Trang that was a trip!! also there was Hoi An to Hue to link up with the train again..and local busses in Bangkok Thailand. they were all for me a great experience. What appears to be...

Best budget airline in Asia.

by cachaseiro

Air Asia is a malysian airline that has hubs in several places in Asia and it´s one of the best and cheapest ways to move around Asia.It´s a budget airline, but we are not talking Ryanair kinda airline where sitting in the planes is pure punishment, but a pretty nice airline with good seats, friendly service.They sell food and drinks on the planes for a resonable price and i have been really happy when i have flwon them.I have used them many times over the years and will use them again for sure.

ANOTHER FORM OF TRANSPORT TO USE

by DennyP

DIFFERENT TRANSPORT I used all forms of transport when I was travelling through South East Asia..I always travel the major routes by train unless there were none available as in Laos and Cambodia where I used busses for all long distant travel...but when I arrive in town or city and stay awhile, I use local cheap transport..ie: tuk tuks or Beamos..etc.. I must say I do love sometimes and always try the local Cyclos or the equivalent..These are not fast to use but usually very interesting and vary a lot from place to place...Always establish your fare cost before setting out...prepare to haggle and prices will depend on your bargaining skills, be firm about the price, Don't bargain too hard though , as these people work very hard for little money.

GREAT TIME HERE WITH

International Driving Permit" vs "License"

by Copter808

There seems to be some confusion between an "International Driver's License" and an "International Driving PERMIT". Not sure about other countries, but in the USA,"International Driver's LICENSES" are not valid as they are not issued by any recognized governmental agency. International Driving PERMITS are!Anyone who wants an International DL can get one through the internet quite easily. Those who sell them correctly say they can never be suspended or revoked. What they DON'T tell you is that it is true only because they were never valid in the first place!
