The home of the tube! Next stop on the Laos trail was the infamous vang vieng. Although a lot quieter than in the past, this odd little town still does a good party. Arriving on the Friday we were told it was jungle party night. Gonna be honest, more party than jungle. It was actually in the back of someone's guesthouse. Not really worth 40,000kip but i had a good night. Next day was the big day. Tubing! Really simple, you hire your big tyres from anyone in to...

Luang Prabang The city of mouth watering pastries and beautiful temples. I have finally arrived after three very long and eventful days. Thankfully my hostel was easy to find and as my two American friends had promised, the showers were amazing! LPQ backpackers does really clean dorm rooms with a cooked breakfast all for less than £4 a night! Plus it is really social. I saw lots if familiar faces as soon as I walked through the door! My two days in the city w...

It was going to be a long bus ride however I hadn't bargained on being squashed up against the windo...

The peaceful like of Pai! Ever since I started my travels and mentioned the north of Thailand, everyone immediately said "you have to go to pai!" So that's what I did. Pai is a little town around four hours drive north east of Chiang mai. Deep in the green mountains the village has become a hippy haven for travellers from all over the world. My bus ride over was surprisingly nice despite all the bends. I got great views of the sun setting over the mountains! I...

Trekking through the mountains! The two days travelling from koh phangan straight after the half moon party up to Chiang mai are a bit of a blur. I remember being very tired but enjoying the banter :p. I remember the screeching lady at the food stop on the way to Bangkok and our hilarious taxi driver on our way to the hostel. "Lady boys? Oh nooo!" I decided to fly up to save time so at 10am Monday morning I made it! First stop, my hostel. I stayed at a place c...
