Luang Prabang, Laos

Hon Lai !!! (Very Hot!!)

As it was another gorgeous sunny day, we decided to hit the swimming pool just outside of town! We did try and find bicycles to ride up there, but as it was already midday, trying to find a cheap one was impossible as all of the early-rise tourists had already grabbed them, so we haggled...

Laid Back Laos...

With Thailand successfully completed we embarked on an overnight bus journey from Chiang Mai to Luang Prabang in Laos. We were lucky to stop near the border for one last Thai temple exploration. The white temple was the king daddy of all temples and our mission through the rain was indeed worth...

Luang Prabang

In our wisdom we paid additional money for a mini van from Vang Vieng to Luang Prabang. The picture in the tour office was of a very new looking people carrier which we were assured had air conditioning. What we actually got was a pink and white van with no air conditioning! The journey wound up...

Elephant Camp

Another great volunteering opportunity that grabbed my attention is the opportunity to work with the friendly giant the elephant. From what I can gather I'm mostly going to help out with the marketing, promotion, web affairs, press releases and such things for a new office they are opening in...

Laos - Direct from the Source.

YAY! PICTURES! Laos is hot. How hot? Three showers a day hot. Constant sweat hot. Blazing, punishing sun hot. Want to feel like you are here? Preheat the oven to 400. When it reaches that temp, open the door and lean forward. That blast of thick heat is what it's like here. Every day. All...

Luang Prabang, Laos - DIRECT FROM THE SOURCE!!

After my all-day hike, leech adventure. I headed south to Udomaxi. It's a sleepy pitstop of a place but beautiful nonetheless....surrounded by towering mountains surrounded by mist. From there, it was another bus ride to Nong Kiahaw and who should be on the bus but the family that was part...

The Slow Down.

Nuttter spent three entire days wandering towards Luang Prabang, still no pictures, the internet cafe's have cottoned on to the enormous downloading that back-packers are want to do and have pretty much made it as difficult as possible to do. Oh sure, they will put them on a disc for you for a...

Laos is quality...

We arrived in Vang Vieng & I emailed Allan our hotel details, so that he could find us when he arrived that evening from Vietiene. Whilst we were waiting we decided to hole up in the Irish bar located over the street from our hotel...which was to become a home from home for the next 3nights!...

Another Crepe please ....

No stop on the trip following a nasty bus ride was Luang Prabang. LP is a lovely little town perched it a couple of thousand metres above see level, thus it avoids the high humidity that the low lying areas of Laos are subject to. As with all tourist destinations in Laos it sits next to the...
