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 […]
What happens on tour, stays on tour
We welcomed in the new year with an 8 hour bus ride starting at 7.30am through windy mountains on unmaintained roads. Tell me you’re jealous, the fry up, clean up and sleep in at home just doesn’t compare right? As we’d stuck to the no mix and drink sensibly rules we were all feeling pretty […]
From the French Alps of Laos
Happy New Year! I hope you all had fabulous celebrations and your resolutions are still going strong. My resolution is to be more self disciplined so I can actually make a proper resolution next year, wish me luck! Anyway back to our exciting adventures! Luang Prabang was our next stop and is absolutely gorgeous. Like […]
Laos or Lao?
Border Patrol 2.0: We left Cambodia and entered Laos on foot, feeling equally badass and slightly sweaty more sweaty than last crossing. What is it with these countries and their humidity, so gross and we haven’t even had time to do washing… Running low on clothes. Their border was very white tile and clinical, very […]
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 […]
It’s business time!
My uncle always flies business class. He swears by it, it’s his one treat for the labours he puts into the Farm. When I said one day I hoped to indulge in a business class fare and have the means to back it, little did I know my dreams would be granted so soon. Thanks […]
