Kuala Lumpur to Beijing Overland..good idea or nuts |

| So ive got about 3 1/2 months to travel from KL to Beijing and any places in between.
Most likely Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam then onto China for the last month. I could also book a few airasia cheap flighst to skip a few bits not sure though! Im guessing once i get to Thailand its a pretty common route? Has anyone done similar trips or planning to do so starting January 2010? |

| Hey im planning the same route in November. I found this web page
http://www.seat61.com/Malaysia.htm Shows train routes for every where and the KL to Beijing looks simple enough. |

Well im doing the other way round from October and as the above message the Seat61 website tells you everything you can get from Beijing via Xian shanghai hongkong laos vietnam cambodia thailand to Kualalumpur for like £160.00 and that trains everywhere cant wait! It just making the hard decision of whether to have a soft sleeper or a hard one  |

Is that £160 for a straigh train from Beijing to KL, or will you be stopping off at places along the way ? I saw single tickets on that route for around £3.00!!! |

| Well what i saw was a single trip from KL to Penang was around £3.00 for a third class seat. I will be stopping off everywhere along the way aswell, so i wonder would it be cheaper to just buy singles at each stop or buy the whole thing for £160.
How long will you be able to stay in each place with that £160 ticket ? |
