Laos From Chiang Mai Ludo and I made our way to one of the lesser (at present) visited countries in South East Asia. The road to the border wielded little other than the 'White Temple' which is just nuts looking. It has sculptures of Predator's torso surrounding it as well as a pool at the front with arms and hands reaching out from the surface. Its definitely spectacular.

Bangkok and Chiang Mai Arriving without any kind of plans for what to do in the city and not being able to check into my room until noon, I was lucky enough to overhear whilst sleeping on the couch, the plans of one of the female guests for her time in the city.

After consideration however, I have decided that a fuller entry is probably a better idea. The Golden Triangle is the route that most tourists take if they are only in the country for a short space of time as it encompasses the Capital city, Jaipur which is famed for its textiles and other crafts and of course the must see attractio...
