Hello from Malaysia. If nothing else our passports are looking pretty impressive! We made the border crossing late last night and arrived in Kuala Lumpur at 4 am. For some reason ATM's (and chip and pin machines) don't open until 6.30 in Malaysia and as we only had Thai Bhat we couldn't buy anything or go anywhere. We took refuge in a 24hr KFC for 3 hours before beginning the now familiar hostel hunt. Once again we defied Lonely Planet and hostel owners that...

Well it's taken 7 weeks but we're back in Bangkok where we started. Bangkok itself is very nice; Steph likes it a bit more than I do (You can drink, shop or go to religious monuments). We've not got the money to shop or drink and we're on our 400th Wat (A large religious building normally containing a Buddah). The people watching is quite interesting though and yesterday we went around a weekend market with over 50,000 stalls which was an experience and our fe...

Cambodia really didn't leave a lasting impression on us, to say we had a negative experience on us would be a bit strong; not least of which because there were ...

We left backpacks at guesthouse and hired another motorbike for two days and 230 kilometres of awesome scenery! The destination was Tad Lo a small village se...

Hi everyone, We left Cambodia four days ago and crossed the border into Laos, since then internet, well electricity in general, has been a little more difficult to come across! The last few days in Cambodia were lovely and a vast improvement on the overpriced Phnom Penh. We stopped at a small town called Kratie (somehow pronounced Kratche!) where you can watch the sunset over the Mekong River. We also hired bikes for a day and cycled 10 miiles up to Kampi whi...
