Hello there!!! Busy few days with little access to the internet, hence no blogs or photos, but we've just said goodbye to Jayne and Christophe as they head home to Paris, so we've dived into a cafe to keep our pages updated! We left Vientiane after a nice couple of days by the (dried-out) river on the 6th and after crossing the border at Nong Khai, we took the night train to Bangkok, which in a first-class sleeper carriage was by far the comfiest overnight trave...

Hi everybody! We're currently sitting in Krabi town, catching up on our emails and our internet action before we head out to Kuala Lumpur tomorrow. I've done an entire blog entry for Koh Mook so that it shows on the map - given it's the furthest south we got in thailand via Koh Lanta into Trang Province and the Trang Islands!

We had a brilliant couple of weeks with them all... sight-seeing, boozing and christmas in Bangkok, then 9 days on beaches, islands an...

Been a bit slack on the old blog in the last few days and we're actually coming to the end of our 8 / 9 days in Ao Nang with my mum and dad, sis and stu-pot. Christmas in Bangkok was fab... if we were going to be away from home, then lording it up on the 61st floor of the Banyan Tree hotel was definitely the place to be... just brilliant. So nice too to get my mum and dad over here... Had a fab time with my sis and stuart too, but getting mum and dad out of the...
