...But now Lauren and I are ditching that for a month of paradise on the Gulf of Thailand.
We left Laos yesterday (or maybe even the day before it's so hard to keep track,) after having spent some time in Vang Vien. Unfortunately, Lauren and I have alr

So, in Laos at last.
Lauren and I have spent the past three days on a hardcore traveling extravaganza starting from a frantic dash around our guest house in Chang Mai three (or maybe even four) days ago.
Come with me now back through time, back, bac

Laos
Laos is a mix of old and new. Tradition and commercialism. Lust and religion. Tourists have only been visiting this country for less than 20 years, it so amazes me how traveler villages have sprung up in so ma

Still being utterly charmed by Laos. Every place I've seen has been beautiful and the people are, for the most part, quite lovely. Lao

Could talk about the bus ride from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai- 3 hours on a hot, sweaty bus that looked like it was held together with chewing gum and seats were fashioned wherever you could find a place (thank god the Thai people are small), and one touris

I went to the boat ticket office early in the morning to buy a boat ticket to Nong Khiaw. While standing in line to get a ticket, I noticed a helpful signboard that listed the prices for all the destinations. I also quickly noticed that I had to pay about

Vientiane isn't like most capitals of a country. First off, only 250,000 people live here and it feels more like a town than a capital. No high-rise buildings, very little traffic and I only remember one stop light. Normally, it's not too exciting

Try saying that a few times. Our one week in Luang Prabang was fantastic, we ate at great restaurants, hiked to waterfalls and did a great mountain bike ride to some of the remote villages in the area. Luang Prabang is small enough where you see the s
