Vang Vieng, Laos

Oct 22, 2010

After a week long stay in the capital of Laos we arrived at our next stop! The tubing capital of the world: Vang Vieng. Unfortunalty, there be mosquito's here! We arrived late in the afternoon, found a cheap ass hostel down by the river, got some dinner and had a look around the town before settling in for the nite. The town is nice and simple and reminds me a lot of the islands in Thailand. Especially Ko Phanang. But instead of sea, Vang Vi...

Well, here we are in our third different country of the trip so far. Laos. And it is very nice. We left Vietnam on a sleeper bus with a guy named Bill and a girl named Joe.

Phuket, Thailand

Sep 11, 2010

And so that is pretty much it for our time in Thailand. Two months has already passed and it is almost time for us to get on a plane and go to Vietnam. Unfortunatly not before a twelve hour bus ride from Phuket to Bangkok. We have spent the last ten days or so in Phuket town. Opting to stay in the busy but cheap town insted of the expensive tourist beaches that can also be found in Phuket and this worked out very well. The buildings around t...
