Seen und Wasserfaelle

Ban Lung

day 329: chocolate saves it
The Techno music did not stop. The house rules read a lot about the posession of deadly weapons and poison, but nothing about noise regulations, so I didn't complain. At 2am it was turned down and from now on not the whole lodge but only me, their direct ...

Ban Lung: Definitely worth the trek
We decided to brave going to Ban Lung despite hearing that it was super-remote and a nightmare to get to, just based on the fact that the hardest to reach places are usually the best and most authentic. The 7 hour bus ride from Kratie was pretty bumpy, ...
