Hello one and all. Get here to vang vienne a week ago today and it's flown by. This is a great place. We're staying in a place called the riverside bungalows (by the river funnily enough). It was reccomended to us by a canadian fellow we met along the way and he hasn't steared us wrong. We've even got two resident geckos that live in the bathroom (they're pretty big and very noisy), mind you at least they eat the bugs. Had a really scary incident with a big...

arrived a couple of days ago into laos. I'm so glad we decided to fly (i say we what i really mean is Devlin). We went on a day trip to some caves (not too bad, managed to read my book for a few hours which is always nice) and we saw the fast boat on the river, it looked horrid. The boat is dead little and it is very fast, everyone is sitting there looking petrified (with good reason). we then spend the rest of the day at some watarfalls, these were so nice ...

Got back from the treck yesterday at about 6pm, it was absolutely exausting.

Alright there my old pals, it's a long e-mail but bear with it. Cheers Done loads since i last checked in. On Wednesday the 19th we went out on a hardcore sight seeing day, unfortunatley down to bad planning we missed all the organised tours to see the river Kwai, we were gonna hire a taxi till they said it'd be about 3,000 baht (42 quid) for the day, definately too much money when you're skint. We were a bit gutted till we went to see out travel agent fella...

Hello. Got back to Bangkok yesterday (about 6 in the morning) after a 10 hr bus ride from Surat thani (nr Kho Phangan, the full moon place). Been quite busy recently. The full moon party was excelent, got back to the hotel about 10am after a cracking night out. Spend the night drinking buckets (mekong rum, red bull and coke) next to the sea. It's hard to explain the full moon, basically every bar on the beech pumps up the music to massive levels and the...
