Back from Laos / North Thailand
Our Laos trip has been tiring but pretty wonderful. There were some minor hiccups on the schedules, but THANK GOD things fell into place and worked out well in the end. 'Expect the unexpected' is the backpacker's mantra, especially so when travelling in a poorly developed country like Laos.
In summary...
Sat - flew from KL to Bangkok, took night train Bangkok to ...
Sun - ... arrive in NongKhai. Into Laos. Reached Vientianne, on to VangVieng.
Mon - arrived in Luang Prabang.
Tue - walking in Luang Prabang town.
Wed - morning boat-ride to PakOu caves, afternoon dip in KuangSi waterfalls.
Thu - slowboat to PakBeng.
Fri - slowboat to HueyXai.
Sat - into Thailand via ChiangKong. Overland to ChiangRai then ChiangMai.
Sun - morning flight ChiangMai to Bangkok. Afternoon flight Bangkok to KK. Night drive KK to Tenom to see my loupo.
Mon - back to work. On-call lagi. Need to earn money to finance my next trip.
More stories and pictures up soon, after I've catch up on some rest.
* the pic was taken in Lane Xang street in Vientianne (capital of Laos); the nicest road we saw in Laos.
