India to Vietnam, via Bangkok! A city that has been visited by both of us many times and one of our favourites in South East Asia, happy to have a few days here before Vietnam. We'd also booked a nice hotel near the airport, big comfortable rooms with a standalone bath, a pool and all the holiday comforts normally missed when travelling...! However, it was never going to be an easy journey getting there! A combination of a train, two taxis and a flight, with maj...

So, last few days in South East Asia and it was only fitting to spend them in Bangkok, the place where the Asian leg began! Nice little guesthouse just far enough from Koh San Road that we weren't in the mix of the madness but close enough to stumble back to when we needed to! Good time to restock on some purchases before home and celebrate the end of an amazing summer!! 3 nights partying down Koh San by night. Spent the days laying in, mooching about and got ...

After a crazy hostel for a night, Purple Monkey was a great little find for the remainder. The owners pet eagle casually chilling at the bar each night! Hired out mopeds and had a convoy of 5 going round to all the sights... Canyon, lan...

Short post here... Taking a trip to Pai now and the final leg of the Thailand journey. Heard so many good things about Pai.. The hippie paradise of the north and not visited before so looking forward to it! Chiang Mai was great... Lots of sightseeing around the old town and temples... The new town and markets... Food in the local night market was great and pottering around a few of the local bars was good. Nice to have a quieter few days and ease off after the ...

On wards bound again, this time heading North to Chiang Mai from the last party island visited, Koh Phangan! Boat... Bus... Plane on this occasion. Phangan proved to be a great few days, most importantly because the legendary Full Moon Party fell on my 29th birthday! Arrived in Phangan after the other lads headed back to the UK. Booked into the Hadienda backpackers hostel and an 8 bed dorm to make sure we had the best chance of meeting a funny crowd to spend th...
