I am tired of trying to catch up and make sense of what we did and where we are! Good luck all! Follow it as you can!

I realized that the pin set was wrong, so I figured it out and reset it. For those of you who understand those things or care, the pin is set to Phibumangsahani, TH.71, Thailand. When I Goggled it on...

Night Train from Bangkok to Ubon, on the way to 4,000 Islands.. (Laos)

After crossing the border to Thailand the roads became much better, no touts offering transport for unreasonable prices, only normally priced van to nearby city of Surin. Since I reached Surin at dusk, I decided to stay overnight over there. It is a small town with no tourist sights. Though some interesting villages can be found around famous f...

Today was a key travel day. To maximize our time in Champasak we had stayed an extra night. Which meant that we had to travel in one day back to Pakse, to the border, through the border crossing, and then to the Ubon Raitchithani airport in time to catch a 3pm flight back to Bangkok.

My Lao visa expired today so I took the Pakse-Ubon bus and here I am, back in Thailand and not very happy about it. Ubon Ratchathani is a big city and it's so much different than anything in Laos. I will only stay for 1 night. My plan is to reach Northern Thailand within a week.

Bang Pussee, via Ubon Ratchathani 07 We (Cammy, Harry (Dad), Tio (Wife), Ploh (Sister) & myself) travel to Bangkok and get the plane to Ubon Ratchathani, where we are met by some of the family. Once we have stocked up on some supplies we head off in the minibus to the village of Bang Pussee. On arrival we unload or things and get tucked into...

Back in Thailand. That was a complicated journey. From Pakse i decided to walk 2kms to a market where the Sawngathaew left from to the border. I realised this was a mistake after 10 mins as it was so hot and amazingly a moped pulled up along side me and offered me a lift with all of my stuff! This is typical of the friendly Laos people and i am ...
