S: The journey to get to Koh Lanta, wasn't the best bus journey we've ever had, leaking buses and buses not turning up on time but this is Asia after all. It took around 24 hours to reach Lu, so we arrived looking very tired and smelly. After a quick shower, and Lu had come back from school (Lu at school still makes us laugh), We went for a walk along the beach. Of course we had a quick dip in the sea, Arlo loved it. After that we enjoyed a beer with our meal a...

S: So we had 762 bends to get back down from Pai. Unfortunately they put us at the back. Bad move, James gets travel sick, but has been brilliant so far. I had to shout at the driver to stop before he was sick lol. He wasn't the only one in the bus to be feeling the effects. There is also one other thing to add, Thai drivers drink a million (ok, slight exaggeration) red bulls and drive like Michael Schumacher. We did make it down safely, and arrived in Bangkok ea...

When we got there we found a lovely little place to eat and it was the first good Thai curry we had had so far. Later we walked about the town, renting a bike here is cheap and it seams every tourist jumps on one for the first time and instantly crashes or fa...

S: I wanted to do something different in Chiang Mai, and found a 'Paradise 3D Art Museum'. Inside we were surrounded by realistic paintings on the walls and floors in 3D, so as visitors we could immerse ourselves into the jaws of a shark etc. We had a picture where we were walking along a bridge in the middle of the jungle, it looked very realistic considering they are just paintings, it was the level of art we appreciated. We spent all of the afternoon there, an...

J: After a quick flight to Bangkok and then an overnight bus we got to Chiang Rai. We found a lovely hostel that had just as much foliage inside as well as out, which had loads of kittens running around the place so Sam was happy to stay and it was really cheap so I was happy too. We rented a moped and went to the Black Temple just outside the town. This was a very dark temple and not just because it was black, it seamed to worship death. It had dead animal bones...
