Bankok to Ho Chi Minh city via Cambodia
Discussion
playing with ideas for a week Asian holiday and this is the first of our ideas (driving)
not familiar with this part of the world in any way so not sure on roads, accomodation or dinning but pretty excited about finding out about what we think would be a very different culture and way of life to the western world.
is our trip idea doable in 2 weeks? its ony 5-600 miles but i imagine the roads wont be like europe and we want to stop and see as much as we can along the way without it beng hurried.
any input or recomendations would be really appreciated.

well versed in extreme driving worldwide tbh so local habits i find interesting more than intimidating, i think you can learn allot about a culture from their driving if you know what to read.
having said that, i don't want to spend to long behind the wheel and from what you've all said and looking at the interests we want to see then I think we'll pegg it back and forget HCM city, as said, there's loads to see and do around Bangkok, so maybe 7 days driving around this area then shooting down the west coast for some of the beaches and spas to chill out.
will look at AAsia at some prices, maybe a club class option on return leg to lighten things if thats possible, thanks for the heads up on that one.
Hotels etc up to par or are we better off with the big chains?
