Vientiene was more of a stop off so I could get to the South easier however I was suprised how much I liked the city. Granted, there was not alot to do, but it was good to be in a 'city' after filling up on villages and little towns. I booked into a dorm for two nights and the following day I took the local bus to Buddha Park, an hour away. As it was the local bus it meant I was the only tourist so could only assume the driver understood me enough to know where...

The journey to Vang Vieng was again, a death-trap. The rain had meant landslides had hit the roads and coupled with heavey fog and pot-holes it was a wonder how we managed to get to Vang Vieng in 7 hours instead of the 20 hours that some people had spoken about in the hostel. Nonethless, the scenery was amazing with cliffs, hills and villages all driving past on the way. Due to the rain, it meant tubing had been cancelled the past couple of days as the currents...

To get to Lauang Prabang it took 3 days, 2 nights. I decided to take the Slow Boat over which meant floating down the Mekong River and getting to see the views. At night, we stopped off at Pakbeng, the oddest, scariest village I had been to yet. The Guesthouse owner was a creep who decided he would order my food for me so I ended up eating fried Buffalo for dinner. I was glad to eventually get back on the boat in the morining and head to Luang Prabang. The plac...

The journey to Pai was horrendous. Apparently there is 792 corners to make in 3hours and it was safe to say that I spent those 3 hours trying not to throw up. However, once I arrived I absolutley loved how chilled out and hippy Pai is. It is the smallest town full of little quirky bars, cafe's, tatoo shops and dreadlocked thai people. I went to my hostel which was overlooking the river. It was a little bamboo hut costing me 3 quid a night with a tree house. After...

I love Chiang Mai. The train getting here was a nightmare however - after delays it took a took a total of 42 hours to get here (in all fairness I slept the majority) but nonetheless, next time I will fly. The hostel I am staying at is a quiet one but with the funniest gay thai boy that works there called Boom. After telling me about his Dutch boyfriend he wanted to take me to the Sunday market that night and to meet his friends. The day was taken up trying to na...
