Okay we think we may have made a mistake coming to Laos. We were recommended a visit here by soooo many people so we thought 'why the hell not'. We were told of exciting adventures, banging clubs and more travelers than you could shake a stick at. But oh nooooo, typical for us we end up wasting valuable time and money. To be fair Laos is the most beautiful country we have seen so far, with absolutely amazing scenery. On our bus trip from Luang Prabang to ...

Well we left Chiang Mai on Saturday afternoon and hopped onto the minibus to take us to Pai.

Laura was slightly fearful but never-the-less we enjoyed a speedy return to mainland Thailand. No sooner had we stepped of the boat, then we hopped right on to a nice double decker bus bound for Bangkok. We were shown our designated seats... guess where? At the back - AGAIN! But th...
