WIP : Kuala Lumpur-Chiangmai (ETA June 2011)

Honestly, planning a one year trip is not a piece of cake. First of all I am not the kinda person who 'plan' for events in life to happen. Rather, I am more of a...go-with-the-flow type. So you can imagine how tough is it for me to plan for a 1 year trip in 12 countries.

Nevertheless, while I was doing my pedicure, I pretty much decided on KL-Bangkok-Ayuthaya-Khorat-Sukhothai-Chiangmai. And of all these, by rail :)

Now I've been to Bangkok many times. Once to Ayuthaya and once to Chiangmai. And my reasoning for the revisits is because I need to kick start my epic journey in a country that I am familiar with. Knowing that I have friends within reach and that I can hop on the next flight back home if I am too chicken to continue the journey sounds very assuring (Which I hope will not happen to me!). After all, it's a 12 months trip we are talking about and there is literary no turning back or else I would probably die in shame :)

So yeah, that's the strategy.
