Bliss on Ko Phi Phi? Let’s hope so
There was a tout on the boat, who seemed a little slimy, but was nice enough and promised to find us cheap accommodation. We humoured him and ended up booking for two nights at the Bantan Bay Bungalows (500b/night) again expensive, but better than many of the prices quoted in the LP, and on a…

19th, 20th Oct – Vientiane
We arrived in the evening and began our search for a guest house, to our horror the prices were pretty much double that of the previous places for much less! We ended up with a prison cell room with shared bathroom, the room just fitted a small double bed and the walls were paper thin.…

Leafy Luang Prabang
On our first day in Luang Prabang, after breakfast and a walk around, we booked a afternoon trip to visit a local waterfall. It was quite beautiful and we eventually found our way to the main part after stopping to swim in the green blue milky pools beneath the multitude of cascades that presented themselves…
