We arrived in Laos by slow boat along the Mekong river, beautiful scenery, picture this, lush green mountains, clear blue sky and nothing to do for 14 hours over two days, on tiny hard benches, we did, I have to say, get a little bored. We then arrived at Luang Prabang which is one of the nicest cities I have ever been to and definitely the prettiest place we have been to in Laos, very laid back and very beautiful. Also this may seem same to people ...

We are in Laos at the moment but I'm going to backtrack a little as i was procrastinating when it came to writing about Chaing Mai. This is Thailands second city and is a lot more laid back and quiet than Bangkok. Whilst we were there we had an amazing day out just outside of the city itself! First we were taken to a local village where the boys were fascinated by the local pigs (?). We were then taken to see a waterfall and went for a mini hike around the coun...

We went to Lop Buri to meet Dan (he came back out to Thailand because he decided he couldn't bare to be away from us). I didn't realise that this was a town ruled by monkeys.

OK, Thailand, Surat Thani is a port town, nothing there so we just hung around for a few days waiting to get rid of Becky :oP after we said goodbye to her, Ness and I set off on our travels to Koh Pha Ngan for the Full Moon party, we had to get a "slave boat" which is actually the Night Boat but it looks exactly like the boats we we learnt about in history, for when they were bringing the slaves over from Africa to America. We had no sleep...
