Brother Benkwitz, yes Beer Lao amazing, had alot of it and the whiski and more. Good t hear from you mate....shame can't be sipping it with us.

Kelv congrats again gaffer, go on the reds, i hope they stuff dirty chelsea!!! Loved your message!!

Janice don't worry we've now banned fred from boats infact wel leave him locked up in the room unless absolutely neccesary and please do not worry a new installment on the blog will be posted once we arrive back in real civilisation.

Julie, your son is doing fine, i think he's cut up bout Jack wearing the liverpool shirt but he'll get over it!!! It's going great out here and don't worry we're all looking after each other.

Mr Faulkner, long time no speak yeah we're gonna be going back through vang vien, also going to do the tubing soon!! Hope all's well mate.

Thanks all for the messages

Hello the Barnes long time no speak!!

Good to hear from you, yes i did think about ya when watching the reds the other night, what a game. Torres, different mix. Also come on Christiano, surely by now we're admitting he's world class, remember you telling me in Grenwhich he was a one trick pony!!

Hows things going? I'll get Menago to send new address for your suit. Whats your email address so can email you?

Monego n Brown you boys are mental nearly drowing on what sounds like the ultimate river of death wear your arm bands next time. Monego unlucky for the arsenal on tuesday, but you surley knew a team with sendorous in it would not beat liverpool at anfield on a champions league night. Have you heard lehmans rant "if i was playing arsenal would have won" OK LEHMAN. Dan i saw Mimid on friday he was asking after his special mush, given him the website so expect some fenerbache love on here soon. Last thing as i must be boring you, i went to get my suit from dalmonegos mums house only to find out she hasn't lived there for 2 years i was baffled!!!!!!!! Take care boys and dan d don't forget stay away from the moths they are the real danger

sounds great apart from the boating incident.

Vang vien is definatly worth a visit. if you can get there you can go on a day trip and visit some water caves, the one i went to was amaising, you float underneath this huge rock face all illuminated by the light coming through the water underneath. great for a swim etc. also on way back there are cliff jumping opportunities for those who have the dare devil instinct....

I think you are all hell bent on worrying me. Your surposed to be traveling and enjoying, relaxing and seeing the sights. Instead your into some sort of gorilla warfare. with sinking boats and people smoking dope, not to mention hysterical woman.

I guess it's like being at home danny. Love you Mumxxx

Hi Dan

Glad your all ok and managed to see the footie. Well what can I say, I guess the best man won. Better be careful what I say, otherwise you'l never come home. We've had about 4 inches if snow here but only lasted a day or so. So jelous of you all out there in that heat but I guess our time will come.

Your little brother went to bernardo's to watch the match IN HIS LIVERPOOL SHIRT. Can you imagaine a houseful of Arsenal fans and Jack in a Liverpool shirt. I think he took some stick for that!

Love you loads Mumxxx

Yes boys,

great work on the story telling daniel, keep up the hustle!!

despite your adventures on the slow boat along the mekong, its still alot safer than those fast boats i went on, worst thing ive ever done!!

what is your opinion on laos beer, i thought it was one of the best??

stay safe fellas, and bag up. just let me know if you want me to keep you all updated on villa's progress as we once again battle for mid-table mediocrity!!

much love

Hi Fellas, I cannot believe how you manage to have these adventures, you must have ticked the life threatening option when you booked this trip. Please don't let Andrew near a boat until you have got him some decent arm bands!

Dan Brown, please carry on with your wonderful commentary. It keeps us all amused in our humdrum lives back here.

Love Janice x (Andrew's Mum)

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD MORNING LAO!!!

And what a wonderful morning it is too, sun is shining, birds are singing, hangover's kicking in after two shandy's last night and a monumental red red red performance in our hearts to savour!!

Dan Dan the Monego Man, I appreciate your kind words. On talk sport this morning they were saying that Arsenal were punished by a poor decision from the ref in the first leg and that there's a case for using the same ref over both games. In fairness I thought you guys played us off the park in the first 25 minutes and Arsenal showed just why they play the most attractive football in the Prem. However, even with all the flair you're still missing that grit and organisation defensively in my opinion. I think El Nino punished Senderos but I also think only someone like Ronaldo would have the pace over a couple of yards to keep in time with his feet to block that shot. Anyways, had Liverpool not got the pen and Babel's late goal surely we would have watched the best solo run since Owen's against the Argies when Walcott ran round Liverpool, Everton, Chester and Runcorn to give Arsenal the win. What a run!!

You can't say that Arsenal can't cut it in Europe mate, finalists a couple of years ago and teaching Milan a lesson last time round???? The Prem is the best league in the world so opposition is harder and Anfield on European nights is the biggest stage.

Anyways, hope you boys are well, sounds like you're bored. When's the next instalment of photos?

Dally's last game on Sunday. Need to win, Hux have only won 2 of their last 7 games so all is not lost……

Sat Hi to my Dad Nai-Thim Korapinsakul. He'll be chuffed to see you.

Have fun chaps, thanks for the Donkey, arrived yesterday. Kelv

Spurs quality outfit?? I do apologise, but terrorism seems to have reached the far reaches of Laos!!! Shocking!! As we all know, that was not me, I'd like to apologise for an acquintance of mine using my identify for such disgusting remarks. When will the war on terror be won!!??

I would like to congratulate Liverpool on a great win over a great team... Arsenal just cant cut in europe and we all know that. Senderos is a porr mans Cygan and gurnatees the opposition a couple of goals. HOWEVER, I'd never wear toilet paper...

I'd like to apologise to everyone that the website has been tainted with this immaturity.

A solemn gooner/son/brother

I would just like to pass on my congratulations to all the Liverpool fans especially my manager Kelv and also my good friend Steven Casey. Liverpool played us off the park last night and was ashamed to be a gooner. I woke up very early this morning and went a brought a Spurs shirt, now that Arsenal have thrown away the league as well, i would rather support a quality outfit like Spurs who have silver wear.

Hi Stephen

Mum again, what an escapade in Loas you all had, Dan writes a great story, hope you are all well, and making sure you are all well protected in every way!, Nicky has got the job for another year, so at least she can pay the rent. It's been hailing here and is bitter cold, so plesae feel sorry for us in old Blighty. Nothing much has happened here so I'll say cheerio for now

Love you loads, take care Mum, Dad, Nicky and Gypsy xxx
