We had the best day ever today! Bright and early we rented out a moped from our guesthouse and rode for about 30 minutes to... Tiger Kingdom! Having bought our package to see a small tiger and big tiger we were excited to get inside. We had concerns over what the Tigers would be like as many reviews say that they appear to be drugged and drowsy. Of course, Tigers do naturally sleep a great amount during the day in the heat. But as we walked around the grou...

Sawadee kap from a sunny Chiang Mai, Thailand. We opted to fly from Luang Prabang in the end due to illness and also to save time. We were going to get the boat which takes 3 days but the 1 hour flight sounded like the better option. The flight was pretty interesting; it was a much smaller plane than we're used to. It had propellers and each row consisted of only 4 seats, 2 either side of the aisle. Funnily enough it took longer to get through passport contr...

We had a nice early start today getting up and out by 6.45a.m. as we had a morning tour to the floating market booked. The tour company picked us up from our hotel and after an hour and a half drive in a minibus we arrived near Damnern Saduak Floating Market just outside of Bangkok.

It took us over three hours to explore a decent amount of the market, and although the puppies and kittens were very tempting, we just settled for a few souvenirs. There was a stall cooking fresh prawns the size your hands, so we tried the d...

This morning we woke up at 7.30 am and headed downstairs for breakfast. Our hotel is right on Lamphu canal and fresh filter coffee is served to you at tables outside. We're definitely going to miss the luxury of this hotel when we move on. After breakfast, we did our first chore since being away! A pile of washing had accumulated so, using our travel rubber plug for the sink and travel wash, we hand washed our clothes and hung them out on our travel lines on ...
