Hi all, I will make this a very quick blog today as the computer I am on is VERY tempermental....which makes me a bit tempermental. Anyway, we spent our last few days in Laos in the south, Pakse for a night and then down to Si Phan Don, or 4000 islands, an archipelago (Which doesn't really have 4000 islands). We reached Pakse after a ninja bus journey, 10 hours on a bumpy, windy road all the way back to Vientiane (Where we started our Laos adventure) and then a...

Hi all, Hope you are all well, I smell and my arms are KILLING me but have had the best few days here in Luang Prabang.

Sawadee Ka from Chiang Mai! I'm COLD!!! Chiang Mai is lovely, very quiet compared to Bangkok and also much colder but as far as I know we're not expecting snow here so it's all good! Have had a very busy few days since we arrived. Left Bangkok on an overnight train (Which was ACE) and were picked up and taken to our hotel which is really nice. Myself and Mithun had a slight Visa issue (In that it ran out the following day!), so to avoid deportation (Or a big fin...
