So Luang Prabang.. We took a tuk tuk to our guesthouse, our room was nice a bit small but ok. It was late by the time we got ourselves 'settled', so we dashed out to get some grub. On the main street of LB they have a night market, very similar to the Thailand markets - they sell pretty much everything you could ever possibly want - silk, tee shirts etc. It is Cookie heaven again! The first couple of days in Luang Prabang we just chilled out a bit, mainly wan...

Our journey from Chaing Mai to Chaing Rai and Luang Prabang We reluctantly left Chiang Mai to travel to Chiang Rai on another stylish VIP bus.

Chiang Mai is a lovely place if not a little full of ex-pats and travellers! The city is quite large by Thai standards and is very popular with travellers as it is the gateway t...

Phitsanulok Our transfer from Ayuthaya to Phitsanulok was a bus journey that took 5 hours but all in all wasn't bad. We were sad to say goodbye to our lovely hostel in Ayuthaya too...but we were even sadder when we arrived at our "hotel" in Phitsanulok. To say it was out of shape was an understatment; the room was minging and the smell of musty old biscuits wasn't welcoming. It is fair to say that it is likely that someone died in there. The first ...
