Hello everyone! I just thought I drop you a wee line as this is my last day in Thailand (at least for this short episode). After spending a couple of days in Bangkok we headed south on the overnight train (no air-con and my God, it was hot) to Khao Sok National Park where we spent two nights. It was great, being in the middle of nowhere again! The first day we went tubing (floating down the river in a blown up tyre) and on the second day I decided to go for a l...

Sawatdikha! (Thai for hello) I can't believe I haven't really updated this site for such a long time. It is nearly the end of February and the last blog entry was in Hoi An, Vietnam. Well, a lot has happened since then so I shall try to remember most of it and update you now but be warned it is going to be a very long one!I am now back in Thailand after finishing my Intrepid trip over the past 40 days and I can tell you, I am in urgent need of a few days off. Tr...

Chuc Mung Nam Moi! Happy Chinese New Year!

There was a brilliant fireworks display at 12:15am (a bit random, I know) and it lasted ...

Hello again, and this time it is hello from Vietnam. Just a short update on my travels as it is nearly bed time for me! After leaving Phnom Penh, we travelled to the Vietnamese border. Everybody was still quite tired after getting up at 5:30am and so the time passed by fairly quickly. Helped (or not some may argue) by being shown the film 'The transformers'. The Vietnamese border crossing was surprisingly efficient and everything went smoothly. A few hours late...

Hello everyone, today is my last night in Cambodia and although I have enjoyed the scenery and the country, it is kind of hard to take it all in as I have already said in my last blog. Our last stop in Cambodia was Phnom Penh, the capital. Due to unforeseen circumstances in Sihanoukville where three people had all their chargers and cables stolen, we spent 3.5 days at the beach (hard, isn't it?) and only one full day in Phnom Penh. Today, we went to the Toul Sl...
