Vang Vieng, known for it’s wild nightlife with happy shakes, happy pancakes and even happy pizza’s. You can actually already start during the day by tubing the Nam Song River and have some drinks along the way. We didn’t do any of that. Or well, we did the tubing, but then when a fruit shake […]
From one loop to another. A bit further north of Pakse you’ll find Thakek. A little city next to the Mekong river with a view of Thailand on the other side of it. After another – quite annoying – bargaining about the tuktuk prices, we got close to the real (tourist) price and we were […]
The Pakse loop: A brand new Honda Wave, dorky helmets and mouth caps to protect us from the dusty roads. Let the trip begin! First stop was Tad Pasuam, where there was a nice little waterfall (tad means waterfall) and a small ethnic village. While we were listening to the children singing, a couple of other […]
Since we’ve still got a month in Laos, we’re slowly making our way up to the north. Different people told us that you can do a couple of loops in Laos, amongst which the Pakse loop. So that’ll be our next destination. Champasak & Vat Phou Apparently Miss Noy was the place to go to […]
All the way south of Laos, near the Cambodian border, there are the 4000 islands in the famous Mekong river. Early in the morning we took the boat to Don Det, with a little stop at Nakasong on the mainland to withdraw some money. There are no ATM’s at the 4000 islands, although you can […]
Where to go next after Angkor. We only have about a week, since we’re going to Ho Chi Minh the 22nd for the birthday of a friend of Romain. After two busy cities we decided to go back to the coast, all the way down to Sihanoukville. We took the night bus (Giant Ibis, one […]
Every temple at Angkor is so different and so beautiful! We spent all day walking through the ancient ruins and were really amazed by its beauty. Definitely one of the most amazing places I have visited in my life, maybe even my number 1. My favourite temples were Banteay Kdei and Bayon. Banteay Kdei is a […]
Totally convinced that I booked a hostel in Kantiang Bay at the south tip of Koh Lanta, I was surprised we stopped at Long Beach, still pretty north. Double checked it, and I was wrong. That happens when you search for hostels almost every day for a year. You mix things up. Or well, I […]
After Penang, we were in need of more chillness. We took the ferry to another island of Malaysia, Langkawi and there we found it! Already at arrival nice music was playing in the terminal. Let’s have a coffee and decide where we want to go. Google have us some options, and we found a nice […]
After about 10 months exploring down under it is time to go up again. Not too far up though, just a little more than 6000 kms, up to Asia! From Little India to SuperTrees Thursday the 20th of October we flew from Sydney to Singapore. Finally, cheap beer! O wait.. not really. The alcohol prices […]
