Trekkers not Tramps
To experience a bit more of the country, as we’re adventurous types, Laura and I embarked on a 3 day trek through the Northern Hill Tribes with Tiger Treks. It had none of the bells and whistles like other tours (some include elephants and “white” water rafting) it was a biking and bamboo rafting trekking […]
Chiang Mai Activities
Let’s take a trip down memory lane, so I can escape the boredom of waiting at an airport for check-in to open and you can escape the boredom of work, Yay! This trip will take us back to what you’d call last Tuesday and Wednesday and I’d like to call the-day-we-ate-continuously and the-day-we-saw-animals-the-size-we-were-after-eating-continuously, respectively. First […]
Chiang Mai – Chiang Rai – Golden Triangle
We flew with Asia Air, we know that their was a horrible and sad incident a few weeks back but the airline handled it very well at the time and everything appeared to be life as usual, don’t fret. However, for a 32 row plane 6 seats a row we sure did experience a lot […]
Cha Cha Chaweng, Koh Samui
This beach destination is the opposite of the calm couple and family orientated beach of Lamai. Well, that guy (our friend) did call it the “Bangkok of Koh Samui”. He was not wrong, but he was not right either. It’s not that extreme just more people, resorts, younger party vibe, bigger beach, more stores, more […]
Sawatdee Kah, Koh Samui
Well hello Bangkok, you had us once again for a whirlwind day. Familiar territory, it was odd being in a foreign country and recognising streets. Took a couple of goes to get used to the speedy escalators and a beer to get used to the heat of the food that I didn’t realise I’d been […]
Enter Cambodia – Siem Reap
MERRY CHRISTMAS! With love from Lauren and Laura in Cambodia! This is what we got up to in Siem Reap. After a close shave with an uncooked piece of chicken at the tour group introduction dinner I was feeling surprisingly chipper for our 6.30am departure. Otherwise that 7 hour journey could have been an interesting […]
Jj Markets and China Town – Bangkok
Laura our coffee queen exploded coffee in the microwave twice this morning. She’s been demoted. Hopefully it’s not a sign of the day to come as we’re off to the Jj markets. I’m after a winter jacket and it’s 30 plus degrees. Jj markets was overwhelming. Unordered masses of stalls everywhere. We’d made lists of […]
Wat’ted out
Thursday: Ryan’s no longer legless with ills so we upped our game and sampled street food for breakfast. I know, we know, yes we’ve been warned but we played it street smart and just gazed over the grills of more diverse foods. On the menu baby green mango with a sugar and chilli sauce (more […]
Bangkok an unplanned day 1
After catching some sleep we’d actually managed to wake at 8am, no jet lag here, don’t be jealous we’re superhuman. We woke up to this view, 25 floor wowwee. On the advice of Laura’s friend Garn all 3 of us set off to catch the BTS Sky Train to Saim Square. Garn attended high school […]
