Hey Everyone! We're finally in Luang Prabang, Laos! We got here by slow boat from Chiang Kong, which took two days with an overnight stop off in Pak Beng. The first day was a seven hour trip including a short stop for young village children to come aboard with trays of goodies - beer, crisps etc. The small wooden boat was packed with van seats which weren't even nailed down!! When we stopped in Pak Beng (a small town with just one street) we were met by a crowd ...

Hey Everyone! Well, we finally managed to make it out of Pai. It was a shame that Kie had become so poorly there, as we had heard so many good things about Pai but we weren't really able to enjoy it to its' full potential. Kie, still not feeling 100%, decided he didn't want to make the journey out of Pai by minibus and opted to hire a moped so he could stop at his own leisure.

The Guesthouse is along the River Pai with...

Today we've spent an absolute fortune but everything we've seen and done was worth every penny - even if it was a week's budget, oops. As well as that, last night we became Gordon, Delia and Ainsley (Lawrence) at the Thai cooking class. So, we started our evening at half 4, ...

Hello Everybody! Sorry it's been a few days, we arrived in Chiang Mai in the early hours of Friday morning after an epic 10 hour overnight bus journey from Bangkok. Although advertised as 'Comfortable, Spacious and Air Conditioned' buses, we found quite the opposite when it was full of hippy Germans whose body odour wasn't the best and further Europeans who chose to smoke in the toilets - which also STANK of urine!!!! As you can imagine not the best of three sce...
