This week we found ourselves in Vang Vieng, seemingly party capital of Laos. One of the best things you can do in VV is go tubing on the river…there are loads of bars along the way, all trying to entice you with their special deals. But we fancied something a little more laid back, so … More Photo Of The Week: Tubing In Vang Vieng
After finding that the guesthouse we had originally planned to stay at (on recommendation from lonely planet) was full, we eventually found this lovely little place, down one of the side streets, just off the main road in central Vientiane. After staying in various places around Thailand that haven’t been so central, it was really … More Hostel Review: Souphaphone Guesthouse, Vientiane

And to be honest it wasn’t even that expensive…about £10 each, which is roughly what we spent … More Hotel Review: The White Inn, Nong Khai
Upon first arrival at Trekker Camp in Chaing Mai (if you’re even able to find it that is…no taxi driver seems to know it!), to tell you the truth first impressions aren’t great. It’s quite out of the way of the main city and its attractions, and its all generally a bit grubby and dishevelled. … More Hostel Review: Trekker Camp, Chiang Mai

So for those of you thinking about taking a trip to Thailand, you should definitely hit up Chiang Mai and takle some of these things on my to-do … More Top 10 Things To Do In Chiang Mai
We didn’t really have much of plan for after Chiang Mai, but knew the general direction we wanted to head in, so we caught a train to Phitsanulok, a small town about 7 hours south east of Chiang Mai, ready to just wing it when we got there. This was a pretty good plan and … More Journeying to Laos
This week has been a great one for seeing and experiencing new things, thing that I never thought I would, including visiting various incredible temples around Chiang Mai. But my favorite thing we did over the last few days was by far going to Tiger Kingdom and playing with these tiger cubs…they were so adorable, … More Photo Of The Week: Tigers in Chiang Mai
