okbears - stay at Kevin's Trekker Inn in Shangri-La - they are family friendly and cosy. They even have a website at www.kevintrekkerinn.com. Erikluv also knows this place.

Forums > Travel Yunnan > Bus from Kunming to Yuan Yang!

You can actually book a number of days or even weeks in advance, but few people bother. I have booked a bus ticket to Hekou (from Kunming) 11 days in advance - however, there's little point bothering going to the bus station to purchase your ticket in advance; if anything, get a travel agency or the hump bar to book it for you a day in advance.

Of course, just showing up at the bus station will always work as other posters have said, but if you don't want to hang around without knowing what the departure schedule is like, it's best to check out the schedule first and then show up around half an hour before departure at the bus station to buy your ticket.

Forums > Travel Yunnan > Best way to travel to Vietnam

Although guys have been to Vietnam already, for future reference, I'd say going by private car is the way to go; although, for your information, smoking has been banned on the bus from Kunming to Hekou (and vice versa) and nearly every smoker on the bus only smokes during rest breaks now (I can vouch for that, since I've travelled on that bus a couple of times now). The small, local buses are the ones to avoid since smoking onboard is still common (unfortunately), however the big Yunnan Express buses fortunately don't have much of that anymore.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Kunming rent or buy?

@liumingke1234, 30sq ft? That's not even big enough for a bed! Either you meant 30 sq m or are trying to talk about the price per sq ft or sq m; in any case, your point is that prices have gone up considerably, and that shouldn't come as a surprise in a booming city like Kunming.

Forums > Travel Yunnan > DALI DENTIST WARNING

Pay extra to get to a good dental clinic, whether it's in Shanghai (or Bangkok as I have suggested); it's not worth being stingy when it comes to your teeth (or your health in general). I mean, what's 2000 Yuan for a round-trip air ticket, especially for a foreigner from a far away country when excellent quality dental care can be found only a couple of hours flying time away?

Hopefully enough money can also be raised in the future for her eventual kidney transplant.

According to the article re: railroad in Laos, this Malaysian firm wants to build a 220km connection between Thailand and Vietnam NOT the one up to the Chinese border that's been talked about and cancelled, then revived again so many times.

The plan by the Lao government to still go ahead with the railway project is unbelievable. Neighboring Vietnam voted not to go ahead with a planned Ho Chi Minh to Hanoi high speed rail link due to concerns about profitability (i.e. not enough Vietnamese would be able to afford a ticket despite having a reasonably sized middle class at least in Hanoi and Saigon).

Now Laos, with only just over 6 million people and a tiny middle class wants to do the same? Good luck! However, I wouldn't be surprised if in 6 months from now I read in the Vientiane Times that the project has been put on hold again.

I'd suggest stick to a normal speed train that locals will actually be able to afford, going high-speed while neither Thailand nor Vietnam, two neighboring economic juggernaughts have plans to do the same is quite far fetched, I'll believe it when I see it but it seems like a crazy idea for now!

The only good news is that Laos can take control of the railway project and not have to worry about the previous 5km land concession on either side of the tracks that was previously demanded by the Chinese side.

Also, scally is correct about the reasons for Naw Kham being tried in China and logically Kunming, the closest major Chinese city to the area where the attacks occurred would be the best place to try him.

Incidentally, the 9 renegade Thai soldiers also implicated in the attacks will be tried in Thailand.

Well, he killed only Chinese sailors and based on this story, he has had run-ins with the Chinese authorities before. Overall, it's good that this criminal has been brought to justice. Also, by being tried in China he will receive the punishment he deserves.

The Mekong River in the 2000s should be about tourism and trade, not murder, drug trafficking and mayhem. Those latter three things should firmly be entrenched as relics of the past.

What do you mean by "foreigners"? Everyone who is a non-citizen of Myanmar and wants to travel there is a foreigner. I doubt Burmese citizens require visas to return to their homeland.

Horrible tasteless, thick-crusted "cardboard" like pizzas that are a far cry from what they should be like. Way overpriced too. Wine may be good, but why bother when the nearby Prague Cafe makes much better pizza at a more reasonable price?

Great Mexican food and ice cream, excellent Raspberry smoothies and an overall good atmosphere. Can't do much about the low ceilings on the second floor, but the early closing time could be adjusted, after all, the nearby French Cafe closes at 1am.
