I guess it's a choice we all have to make. I prefer to err on the side of caution. Who knows, this whole situation could lead me to discover another Asian country I haven't visited before?

Hitchhiking's more of a challenge on the road less travelled.
When I travelled here as a tourist and when I live here now, I always had (have) insurance. Required no action on my part in the past as it is included in most American policies. Must say some posters here have a cavalier attitude about accident /health insurance.
And so the Coup that wasn't now IS as the Army have just declared they are now taking over control of the Government.
a trip to Laos is looking increasingly likely. still, with 2 weeks to go, who knows?

Try the Philippines, boy wonderland =P~Originally Posted by joe552
Especially Manila and Cebu :x
I had fun in the Philippines about 15 years ago, but find Thailand so much easier. Maybe now I'll be discovering how easy Laos is?

Laos is a great place to visit, but the "fun" will be rather hard to find, in my experience.
However,as a "conventional tourist" destination it is well worth it. Luang Prabang especially is a fascinating place.
