Holiday Snaps - Day 11. Muang Sing and back to Luang Nam Tha

Up near the Chinese Border there are some fascinating people and things and some gorgeous faces



Holiday snaps: Day 10. Luang Nam Tha to Muang Sing

A day of glorious scenery, wind in my face, feelings of freedom and exhilaration and then it rained and ruined everything (almost)

Holiday Snaps - Day 9. From a Karen Village to a Monk's hermitage and back to Laos

Holiday Snaps - Day 8 - revisiting Mae Sai

Old memories and new experiences - returning after 16 years.

Having first arrived in Mae Sai for a 2 year assignment 18 years ago I was expecting that in 2014 so much would have changed. I was right. Lots had. But it is still beautiful, still exciting and still confusing.
 

Holiday snaps - Day 7. To Chaing Rai

I bussed to Chiang Rai. It took half as long as I remembered. I was met at the bus station and so ensued three days of familiar beloved people coming back into my world.

Holiday Snaps - Day 4. Getting there and away

Champasack to Chiang Mai in 26 hours

So I was told it was easy. Easier than trying to work out flights and connections and other ways to travel.  I was told to have my bags packed by 6.30 as the staff were going across the water to the market and I could catch a ride.

The Southern Lights - Bangkok

Camilla and Julie in the Big Smoke


We thought we'd take a trip to Bangkok. The Big City. The City of Angels. Krungthep. Bangers. Feel some city vibe, taste some fancy food, see some sights, shop a little, wander some soulless, over-cooled hallways of mega shopping centres. Maybe even catch a movie.

We did all that, and more.
