Rough
Overnight my condition/illness/whatever got considerably worse with stomach related shenanigins to add to the mix. This really has not been my few weeks. Hopefully all my misfortune is going to be neatly wrapped up in this batch so that it'll be plane sailing from here to Heathrow. Maybe I shouldn't have so eaily discarded Ned, my Thai good luck charm! Thoughts of a decent nights sleep in a decent bed were thrown out of the window. I managed to mumble my way onto the minibus heading for ...

It was a much smaller river this time which at times was quite hard to get down as the river level was low. It was still fun and very pretty. We stayed in a Lantern tribe village and spent ...
Chiang Khong
... there so we both dropped in some coins and made our wishes. Only a few minutes ride and we were at our was the holes in the walls, so we moved into another room. The only issue with this other room was that it hadn't been cleaned since this side of the millennium. The bed was so uncomfortable and dirty, thank goodness for sleeping ...
