Our last full day in Bangkok was a Sunday, so we took the opportunity to visit Chatuchak weekend market. The size was incredible, with a total of 26 sections and such a vast range of products it felt possible to buy anything we would want. As we wandered I found an interesting sweet I had …
So, during this week and a half we lost watches, sunglasses, sarongs and many, many pairs of flip flops. Plus ending up with paint splattered cameras and all kinds of cuts and grazes. This is what happens when Dan and Laura enter the party! I met my two friends from home in Bangkok and from …
I arrived early evening into Sukhothai and after a short challenge trying to find a reasonably priced bed for the night, I joined forces with another girl to share a two bed room. Following this I took a walk to find food, and was stopped in my tracks by an amazing view of Wat Tra …
It was early evening when I arrived in Pai, the journey into the centre took us through mountainous landscape and across a memorial bridge, with a man fishing in the river while the sun set behind him. It was a beautiful welcome into the town which was already buzzing with life. Market stalls lined the …
I arrived in Chiang Mai after a long 38 hours of travelling (a night bus to Bangkok, a day in Bangkok and then a night train to Chiang Mai). Thankfully the night train provided a bed, and it seems the opportunity to be horizontal was all I needed to get a good nights sleep. After …

My time in Bangkok was brief but enjoyable, I definitely look forward to returning later in the month to explore more of the many places I left untouched. Arriving at 6am I managed, with a little help from locals, to successfully travel via local bus to my hostel. However, as my bed would not be …
I was to be staying four nights here, as I applied for my Thailand 60 day visa on Friday morning, and needed to wait until Monday morning to collect it. Although there were a couple of trips on offer for the surrounding area, such as seeing a Buddha Park around one hour away, I wanted …
I took the bus with Janeth, one of the girls I had met in Luang Prabang, arriving in Vang Vieng early afternoon. It didn’t take us long to find a hostel, and while we were booking we met a guy who decided to take a single room upstairs, splashing out in his final week of …
I had decided to travel straight from Thakhek to Luang Prabang in the North of Laos to get the large trip over in one go. This was a good idea in the most part though I was starting to feel I would be forever stuck on a bus winding back and forth on the last …
