Sponsored Walk Anyone ?? A MUST READ

Super Joe · Post by **Super Joe** » Fri Oct 10, 2008 2:09 am

Found this on a Thai forum, I think he is genuine!?!?

Hi since i got no Visa, no money, no credit card and most of all no "real" life i thought to myself. Am tired of being stuck in Bkk with nothing. After some planning i thought i might as well walk back to europe and just "sneak" myself over the borders (since i dont have any visa's) I plan to go from BKK to north thailand-to laos-to-china-russia-finland-sweden-norway where i live.

Since i leave Thailand with only 500 baht i will need to get free food on the way, something i think is easy once i get out of bangkok and more north in Thailand. I am worried about when/if i reach russia, if it would be very cold. This will take me around 1 year i guess, something thats not so long since now am only 19

Anyone here done this kinda stuff before? I would love if someone would join me on the way because i guess its pretty boring to walk for 1 year alone.
I plan to leave from bangkok next week, if anyone want to join me on my adventure

i do not plan to follow the highway all the way since i know this is dangerous, i plan to to take shortcuts in the jungle and small ways and so on
I will wear old clothes and make myself look thai, i wont be going around in gucci jeans, a white tank top and sunglasses.

19 year old's are always 'playing it safe' these days with 185 mile short cuts through Asian jungles

Anyone here done this kinda stuff before?

What this year ? or ever ?

Sorry to jump in SJ, slightly off topic.

Charley Boorman "By any means" is worth watching, he went through Laos, Cambodia and briefly Thailand on last nights programme.

The "rocket boats" down the Mekong was awesome.

He's the fella who did "long way down" and "long way round" with Ewan McGregor.

I'll look out for it Baa, maybe it'll be on one of the adventure/travel/nat geo channels out here.
They didn't pass a white tank top floating in the Mekong did they ?

I know he wasn't treking through jungles with a machete but it's still worth a watch.
