The Search for the Perfect Camera
Up in the morning on the 28th to get the bus from Vientiane to Udon Thani, Thailand. Interesting side line that we have figured out along the way, is that in some cases it is MUCH cheaper to go directly to the public bus station to purchase bus ...

Heading north..
... after dark and, apart from the strange crotch-stroking old man opposite me, our train fellows were a nice bunch. A night train in Thailand has to be experienced. It's a really bad night's sleep but an experience none the less. Each carriage has its own ...
Flight to Chiang Mai
... available from Vientiane to Chiang Mai and we didn't fancy 14 hours of windy bumpy roads much. So we took the bus to Udon Thani, stayed a night for an explore, then the next morning hopped on a flight that would take little over an hour in total. ...
Ventiane
Je suis arrivée à Ventiane vers 17 heures et j'ai trouvé un truc pas trop cher avec une super salle de bain (je paie le même prix qu avec Sara : environ 4 €). Bon ça sent un peu le renfermé mais on va pas faire la difficile ! Je suis sans ...

Mutt Mee for me ........

Across the Friendship Bridge and into Thailand...
... without so much as a passing glance (Sarah did get asked to pose for a photo with some locals though!) On arriving in Udon Thani, it soon became apparent why fellow travellers had raised an eyebrow when we had told them our proposed route and why the ...
On the way to tub'n!
Up early for the bus...8 bells. Had to make my flight in Phuket, 2 hour bus ride, to Udon Thani way up north on the lao border. It started off great with the bus driver bring'n me the port instead of the bus station, luckly a girl that ...
Udonthani
In the morning my leg felt a little better, but I had a three hour bus ride to Udonthani in Thailand and then a 14 hour overnight bus ride to Chiang Mai. I arrived in Udonthani after crossing the border and bought my ticket to Chiang Mai and went ...
Up to the Thai-Laos border
... that's what they mean when they shout "boom boom" at you), and bars filled with elderly english-speaking gentlemen with petite Thai women, I was somewhat disappointed that even in this corner of the country, Thailand still lives up to its clichéed ...
Long Way East!
... Geschwindigkeitsrekord aufstellen wollte und mal wieder die Klimaanlage auf -20 Grad gestellt war. Jedenfalls kamen wir dann nach 12 mehr oder weniger erholsamen Stunden in Udon Thani an, jetzt hiess es nur noch auf zur Grenze und dann nach ...
Day 46: On a road to somewhere
... 2 bus stations and I left from station #2 where the Loei and Nong Khai buses terminate. However at 1740 - still in the middle of Udon - the conductor started asking us which station we needed. We were going to stop at both which meant that I was, to coin ...

the city the internet forgot
So another stop off so no great travel writing again. Only think of note to happen was a random pop concert where we saw the singer actually quick changing at the back of the stage while the concert carried on (i.e. he was still singing the ...

A house to ourselves (oh, and a few cows)
... busy land-border crossing between the two countries. 2. We found an amazing house to rent in Udon Thani with a private infinity pool overlooking the rice gardens and cows grazing in the distance. We didn't do much at the ...
Family Life in Udon Thani
May 23, 2007 Udon Thani We spent five days in Udon Thani. Our guidebook says there is nothing to see here. Reportedly it was once the site of the largest US air force base in S. E. Asia (although our military expert, the Wolfman, questions that). So ...

... we went. The flight was on a mini purple Nok plane with purple seats, wallpapered walls and background music. When we got to Udon Thani, we took a "limousine service" aka a minibus, although it did have leather seats, to the Thai-Lao border. First, we ...
Udon Thani
On Tuesday the 4th December we flew to Udon Thani in North-East Thailand to do the motorcycling tour. Unfortunately as I only have passed my CBT and can only ride on L plates I can't ride over a 100cc over here so I went pillion on the back of mum's bike. ...
Hideout
I woke early, so found a book to read while Sebastian kept snoozing by my side! We drove with Richard and Poo to a new place for breakfast, Thomas. A little resort on the other side of the lake that's near by his house. Stopped at a little market on ...
