We arrived from Chiang Rai by bus to Chang Khong, a border village between Thailand and Laos, there's only the Mekong River between them. So we crossed the river by slow boat, in 5 minutes. It was easy to get the visa for Laos; we filled in the visa form and paid. For French citizens the visa is 30 dollars, and for the Finnish it's 35 dollars!! I think the most expensive was for Canadians, 43 dollars! We started to look for a guest house, because it was almost 5...

After 6 hour bus trip from Phitsanulok, we arrived to Chiang Mai. Chiang Mai is the 2nd city of Thailand and the biggest in the North of Thailand. It's also full of tourists. We took almost 3 hours to find a guest house, everything was full!! It was because of the Chinese New Year, many Chinese come to Thailand to celebrate. Finally we found a guest house for 200 baths. It was kept by a Thai family and they were very nice and welcoming. We rented a scooter an...

The guy who owned the scooter shop came out and wasn't very happy. He wanted that we pay ...

In Bangkok we stayed in a Guest house in Thewet, in the west side of Bangkok. There's a big university near our guest house, so every day we saw many students. Everybody have a uniform, for girls a white t-shirt and a black mini skirt. But what was little strange for us was how many boys were dressing up like girls, with makeup and everything. It's good that they dare to be what they want to be, and I think it's accepted by the others. In Europe that would never ...

Our last days in India was very mix feeling; we were eager to leave India and to go to Thailand and chill at the beach, but also, we were kind of sad to leave because we were so used to India and its way of life. Also there were still many places we wanted to go, like Varanasi or Hampi… But we had our flight booked so we didn't have really a choice. After almost 12 hours of flight connections, we finally arrived to Phuket airport. Our first flight was from Koc...
