I'll be getting a flight from MEL to Hanoi around the 4th of feb, not sure the exact date yet, but +/- 2 days. From Hanoi down south, then across to cambodia, and then laos, and time permitting, Burma. From Burma, flight up to BKK. Of course, none of the internal stuff is booked yet!

Fortunately my phone plan has totally free roaming in australia, including local calls and calls back to the uk, so if need be I can call.

Thanks, saw that a bit late! will certainly bare it in mind for the next time though!
