Our hostel in Bangkok organized it for us (refillnow.co.th) As far as travling through Cambodia-Vietnam-Laos in Aug/September, you can pretty much just read the blog to get a sense for it. In broad headlines, I'd say... 1. It's wet, but I generally liked travelling during the monsoon as it cooled things down 2. Off Season means fewer travelers (like you and I) which makes travel more pleasant 3. Accomodation was cheaper and more flexible in the off-season (that said, it's pretty reasonable anyway). 4. Laos roads are a disaster but fun in the monsoon. The N. or Laos (above Luang Prabang) is carnage, but good fun. Enjoy your trip! We took a train that left Bangkok at about 6am.

As far as travling through Cambodia-Vietnam-Laos in Aug/September, you can pretty much just read the blog to get a sense for it.

In broad headlines, I’d say…

1. It’s wet, but I generally liked travelling during the monsoon as it cooled things down

2. Off Season means fewer travelers (like you and I) which makes travel more pleasant

3. Accomodation was cheaper and more flexible in the off-season (that said, it’s pretty reasonable anyway).

4. Laos roads are a disaster but fun in the monsoon. The N. or Laos (above Luang Prabang) is carnage, but good fun.

Enjoy your trip!
