Our 2 day slow boat down the Mekong river was a very relaxing journey and we made some great friends in the process. The journey started off at the Thai border at Chiang Kong (far north east) where we spent the night. We had great views of Laos on the ... Read more >

When we were planning this trip we had a sneaking suspicion that Laos would be our favorite country, and boy were we right. So far we have spent a total of six weeks here and have explored from the north to the south and a few places in between. We love ... Read more >

This posting isn't really a true reflection of Laos since we only visited three towns while we were there. All-in-all we spent about three weeks in the country and only explored a small portion of the north and northeast. We hope to see some of ... Read more >

The first impression about Laos was … quite. Vientiane is quite small city, you can see the difference with Bangkok-Khao San Road which is very well-known as backpackers place. I remember when we finally arrived at Vientiane, there was a ceremony held ... Read more >

Time’s a funny thing when you’re on the road. The anticipation lasts an age, actual journey feels but a few hours, and sometimes the world seems to stop on its axis, a moment expands and you loose yourself. The four of us sat, bare-chested and happy, ... Read more >

The tuk-tuk resembled a suspenseful game of Jenga. If one item were to be removed or if any passenger were to rearrange a butt-cheek, it was bound to fall to pieces. The roof was strategically stacked with a mound of goods; from bags and boxes to fishing ... Read more >

At first it struck me as oddly comforting. But perhaps that is to be expected. In a foreign land, one looks deeper into every encounter, trying to draw the linkages between our footprints even if they might only be threadbare. It is of little wonder ... Read more >

We have only been in Laos for a little over a week, but we are already feeling our pace slowing. The Lao are famous for their chill attitude towards timetables, work, and life in general, and after busy and demanding Vietnam its a nice change of pace.... Read more >

One of the things that has occurrd many times in Asia that was hard to get used to was the amount of people who want to take photos with me. At first I usually assume they want me to take a photo OF them, but then they hand Jake their camera and wave ... Read more >

Left early in the morning for the SE7 train from Hanoi to Vinh. Unfortunately, I've left my iphone in the room. Time to double back to the hotel. Luckily the hotel manager is still at the front desk to let us in. I run upstairs grab the phone and hustle ... Read more >

Shimmering heat makes the black tar ahead of me appear wet, as if it too is slicked in a permanent layer of salty sweat. All the gauges on my motorbike have been snapped off so I’m not sure how fast I’m going or how much fuel I have left. I like it better ... Read more >

I'm writing this on our final leg of a 20 hour journey back to the thailand so excuse any mistakes. I'm tired. Saying goodbye to Laos after 10 days of activities and drinking. Didn't expect it to be such a drink-fuelled part of the trip but somehow we ... Read more >
