The road less travelled is almost always worth the money in my experience. I’m going to seriously research what you just recommended: the Chinese route from Laos to Kyrgyzstan.
At this moment I’m sitting in a cafe in Patong Beach, Phuket, Thailand and trying not to feel so sad about what the place has become in the last 20 years since I came here on a whim from my job in Singapore and stayed six months to become a TDI Trimix Instructor …
It’s like Kuta but now fast-track ****ed up by low-rent sub-continental and Middle Eastern visitors instead of being slowly destroyed by your plain vanilla good old-fashioned  -chugging Aussie yobs. I can’t believe that there is now a legal weed cafe every 100 meters here.
I’m wishing I air-freighted my bike and only had to wait a few days to get into the back-blocks of Thailand instead of having to be a ‘tourist’ for almost a month while it takes the slow boat. Especially since I just can’t bring myself to hire a moped to just hoon back and forth between bar/tattoo parlour/strip club/backpacker dorm/beach in thongs and singlet.
Anyway that’s my whinge out of the way!
