TRAVEL IS CHEAP AND EASY - WITH (the right) DIRECTIONS...
Pre- travel preparation
Internet
My flight was via http://www.tigerairways.com/. 3000pesos two-way ticket. I bought it on sept 28 2005 for travel on January 2006. I had to buy two way ticket because I will not be allowed to enter Singapore without a ticket going back to the RP.
Going home, I booked at http://www.airasia.com/ Kuala Lumpur to Clark 980 pesos. bought it on December 2005 airasia promo.
I bought a train ticket at http://www.ktmb.com.my/ for travels around Malaysia. very nice website. user friendly.
I booked a hostel at http://www.hostelworld.com/ for hostels in Singapore and Malaysia. very efficient website. no hidden charges. hostels costs 320pesos per day.
I looked for friends in friendster and ---thanks to Alger for the free accomodation in Bangkok.
I spent 40 hrs for two weeks reading http://www.virtualtourist.com/ for tips on what to do in these countries, odds and ends, etc.
Problems encountered:
I cannot prebook for a train trip at Thai trains in the internet. Upon my arrival at Hat yai, I was told that the train going to Bangkok was fully booked for the holidays (chinese new year). I was a bit furious beacause I have not planned to stay overnight at Hat Yai. With some begging, I was accomodated at the first class berth which costs 2x than the second class train berth.
