Amzah, good to hear we might run in parallel - can you PM me your email to keep in touch?
Shane, great to hear advice from someone who's done a very similar trip before - a few questions on what you've said:
- You left the same sort of time, how was the weather on the run north? Did you cop much of the monsoon?
- I've heard of the 15day VOA for Thailand, but why do you say "don't use your carnet"? Would it be possible to go to the embassy in Malaysia and get a proper Thai visa in advance?
- Not sure what my plan is for Pakistan - maybe concurrent passports (send one home and get friends to get the visa); maybe fly home for a week (good opportunity to bring spare parts back!); maybe take a different route through Tibet and China into Kyrgyzstan. Worst case I'll fly from Delhi to Bishkek.
