Your trip to Thailand & Laos is very interesting, though I have never tried it yet. Do u travel together with a tour guide or do u drive alone? Have u driven to Kunming before? I would like to know how tough it is to enter Laos & China in a car.
I followed a group who organized the trip for the first time.
Later on I travel on my own to Koh Samui and Krabi, and I am going to Phuket coming Raya Holiday.
I have not been to China yet but I plan to do so in the future. I understand that car entering China required a lot more procedures which I rather let an experienced organizer to handle it.
Please do email me so that we can exchange so idea, honchyuan @gmail . com
I am going with a few cars this time, in fact I will go even if I am alone.
Driving in Thailand is safe for me, makesure you have your car service in tip top condition and change all those necessary parts such as battery, radiator host, alternator, belt if necessary.
Even so, it might not guarantee no break down. It happened to me once on my trip to Koh Samui 2 years ago where my newly replace radiator host gave way, luckily I brought along a spare unit.
Of course it will be more fun and safe with more car.

Hi Vivian, Thanks for visiting. Khao Pubpa coordinate is n07 34.589 e099 47.164
which GPS map that you are using to travel in Thailand ? I am using garmin , but I don’t find the map on the southern area . Can you advise ?
Hi
Understand that you are travel to Phuket this coming Raya holiday ? do you travel with one car or few cars together ?
I plan to do the same as you , but can’t find any partners … so don’t know travel in one car is safe or not . what is your view ?
Hi Chris,
Thanks for your visit.
I am using Garmin too. But when I purchase the GPS, it comes with ESRI Thailand Map.
I believe your unit does not have Thailand Map that is why you can find it.
May be you can check with the vendor where you purchase the GPS if they sell Thailand Map.
I believe MFM ( Malaysia Free Map ) do have some Southern Thailand Map, but I am not too sure how extensive it is.
