Hi, I've just completed a series of five articles after we recently concluded a 10 week trip to SE Asia.

I've written them in order to help a few folk out in planning for and then enjoying this great part of the world. If they can raise a few chuckles too then all the better...

Introduction, overall route, budgeting and money matters, visas and border crossings:

Enjoy.

(Oh, and you'll figure this out when you read the articles, but to pre-empt any questions: I don't work in the travel industry, have no stake in any of the places/activities I write about, nor do I earn money from this. More's the pity.)

Thanks for posring your helpful articles, Ian.

Thought the sledge on Mitchell Johnson a little harsh. But fair.
