I’m from Auckland, NZ. The others that I know are coming are from Melbourne and Sydney, and New York.. I hope I got that right. I just hope we get at least one beach day hehe cos last year I didn’t get any tan :-( I haven’t done a huge amount of travelling – am hoping to get a job that will allow me to travel lots down the track a bit. But I’ve been to Australia, (just came back from Ayers Rock for work) Fiji, the States. I am 22 and female by the way. The others who are coming back are in their late 20s/early 30s I think! :-) Clare

Oh nice im dying to go to NZ atm, im a travel agent so I def have travel envy alot. What work did you do in Ayers Rock? Ive always wanted to go there 2 work to get away from the coast. So you hadnt done the Vietnam Contiki? When do you arrive in to Bangkok? This trip will be amazing, ive seen everyones pics n heard their stories n it will be hectic cant wait. Not too sure about beaches cos its all mainly inland but who knows. Tell me bit more about yourself. xxooo

Yeah I know right, a friend of one of the people Im going with was going to come aswell but when he went to book its was full. Iv been to Europe before but I was 13. I knew that this christmas break I wanted to go somewhere but I wasnt sure where, and my friend has suggested this Asia trip and yeah I decided its what I wanted to do. When are you getting to Thailand?
Im a student, studying to be a high school teacher and working part time at a fruit shop. I read on your earlier post your from Sydney, what do you do?- 0 people like this

I live in Slacks Creek, how bout you? Who are you flying with? I haven’t bought flights yet but will probs get around to that in the next few weeks, lol.
Who else is coming with you? My bf is tagging along as well. We’re a bit older than you – 25 and 27 :) Still party hard – just means the hangovers take longer to get over, hehe- 0 people like this

We are flying with Thai Airlines. Haha I’m sure we will all be able to party hard! We are going to Asia there has to be something to fix the hangovers right? Haha.- 0 people like this

Can’t wait to meet everyone, we’re going to have so much fun :) Is anyone staying on in the area after the tour ends? We’re thinking of having a few extra nights in Bangkok before we fly home.

The only thing 2 fix hangovers, is more drinking! i learnt that in Nam, just stay away from the beer in the mornings thats a no no lol but Vodka mmmmm!hell yeh we will have a blast, xmas n nyears eve wooooooooooooooo, so has anyone heard what we will most likely do on xmas night, the first night of tour lol? ;)

oh wow that will be crazy, well in Nam there wasnt many bottleo’s at all but drinks are like $2 deadset so cheap, so i think in bangkok il just buy some bottles n take them with me cos ive heard in some areas specially in Laos there is like one bar n its literally like a plank of wood with a chair on the side of the road lol yeh i dnt drink beer either but when ur desperate u do anything baha.
SO have you heard of this thing called tubing?
