KUALA LUMPUR – HO CHI MINH – SIEM REAP – BANGKOK TRIP
Coming from our South Korea trip, the travel itch continued and I reckoned that the upcoming holy week break would be the perfect time. Perfect because I would be done with all the April 15 tax filings then... Yahoo! But then March arrived and the airfares were soaring high day by day. It was a habit already to check all airlines daily hoping for a fare steal. Then on March 3, an answered prayer; AirAsia went on sale, not bad at P5600++ return trip for Manila - Kuala Lumpur. I booked at once, originally for a 6 day trip. I plotted our itinerary and the flights in between but I failed to squeeze all 4 country plan in such a short time. So I rebooked making it an 8-day trip but was charged a P1600 fee... Okay, okay... I know, my bad. After our return flight was confirmed, I booked the rest of the flights, all through AirAsia; Kuala Lumpur - Ho Chi Minh, Siem Reap - Bangkok and finally Bangkok - Kuala Lumpur.
