THAILAND

I spent about six weeks in Thailand, moving all over the country and enjoying all that it has to offer. It has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world in the south, as well as beautiful lush green mountains to the north. Bangkok is a world clas...

 

Thailand

To get to the islands from bangkok involves a bus and boat package - i'd decided to splash out and take the catamaran because it would be quicker...oh my god, i have never felt so much like i was going to die! As soon as we took off (and we did literal...

 

The Far East 2006

We have now safely arrived back into the UK after a gruelling 15 hours on the plane and 3 hours transfer. I can't believe its been 5 weeks!! It has flown by but has been soo good we will telling our stories for many weeks to come. So the last few d...

 

Vietnam & Laos 2007

May 12, 2007 We had a free day at our leisure in Vang Vieng. For a healthy start to our day we had breakfast at the Organic Farm Cafe... if you want something mulberry, they've got it here! Neither of us had tasted mulberry before and we were afra...

 

CHANGERS AND THE NORF

On our first excursion to Chiang Mai, we tried to avoid anything to touristic as we were saving all that for Christian and Emily's visit. We were fortunate enough to stumble upon a cool place, which goes by the name of Bamboo Den - Soi 7 Moon Muang...

 

Thailand chill out

Arrival day. ...

 

Goodbye Edinburgh, Hello World

Well, apparently our time is nearly up and we're having to return to dear old Blighty very soon. Life's a beach, isn't it? Well it has been for us recently, anyway. We've been in Thailand for around two months now. It's the kind of place where nothi...

Gap Year 2004

Me and Deaj organised to take a couple of days off work and head out to the Blue Mountains for a bit of fresh air. James really enjoyed his trips there, so it really had to be done. We shot over on a train to Katoomba, one of the larger towns in th...

 

SE Asia experience

We crossed the border into Vietnam at Noumea. The border crossing went really well (we had heard there were a few corrupt officals). WE got into the town on the day the bus goes and met with a horrible bus driver who changed his price and refused to ...

 

OUR RETURN TO THAILAND

We stayed a few days in Bangkok waiting for Pete (Mr R's younger brother). Spent most of our evenings at the Gecko Bar meeting other travellers, and feasting on street food (chicken arse and phad thai). Mr R tried his hand at Muay Thai (kickboxing) - n...

 

Thailand & Vietnam

17 Oct 06 We've had another action packed day! We both think we might actually be doing too much, though overall we know we have to make the most of our 8 days here in Vietnam. We are loving it here. 8 days really isn't long enough. We booked a ...

Wednesday 11th April I Woke at 5am as train rattled into Hanoi. I met Aaron and Natalie at the front of the station and we took a taxi back to the same hotel, where we had breakfast because nowhere else was open before 8am. Then I took a ta...

 

Updated overview: The world according to Graham and Nick 2006/7

1/12/06 Well three months into the trip and we thought we would give you an update of the grand plan, where we will be when etc as it has changed since we set off. We stayed longer in the states, cut short the stay in Tahiti and have extended our stay...

 

Around the world...

Arriving in Dalat was a bit odd as it is right up in the Highlands and is about 10 degrees cooler than we have been used to. We had a great couple of days there. The town is pretty quiet but there are some great waterfalls and lakes in the area around ...

Thailand

So we leave Chiang Mai and get a bus to Pai up and down the wiggly mountain roads, luckily we didnt have a hang over or Charlotte would have been sick. On the way we meet James and Katie from UK after 4 hours we arrived in the pouring rain. Oh no! now ...

 

Thailand

The island isa like a cross between Phuket and Koh Phi Phi but to be honest, isn't as good as either... neither one or the other and therefore is a bit bland. Admittedly we have been completely spoiled by stunning beaches and we are sure that if we had...

 

Thailand

Our trip surely started on the wrong foot. A couple of hours before flying out of Heathrow, we get word of a military coup in Thailand. 'Should we change our plans? Should we go ahead?'. Jo's mum and brother were wanting us to fly to Singapore, or a...

 

Thailand & Laos

Away from the good fortune of being able to house up with friends and family, and the relaxation of Fijian beaches, we found ourselves in full backpacker mode by arriving in the chaos that is Bangkok at just after midnight. Since leaving the relaxation...

 

Malaysia and Thailand 2003

Chasing Winters aka A Blind Man's Guide To S.E.Asia

So now it’s finally onto Cambodia. A Dutch couple travelling the opposite direction told us to expect a two and a half hour bus trip from where the boat berths. Jason came to the conclusion that we should expect the worst. The worst I’d heard was that ...

 

Its a jungle out here...!!!

Well I have to say Bangkok wasn't what I was expecting. Yes it was heavily poluted, and the traffic was congested, both of which I did expect, but the people and the city itself were very different. Transport is bit of a mish-mash between metro tra...

 

Weltreise 2006

In Darwin checken wir in Chillis Backpacker Hostel ein. Unser Plan, die Westkueste entlang zu reisen, platzt innerhalb einer Minute, da zwischen Darwin und Broome alle Strassen ueberschwemmt sind und es auch zwischen Broome und Perth sieben Zyklone gab...
