Sukhothai
January 15, 2024 in Thailand ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C
A lovely chill couple of days cycling around the ruined temples of the Sukhothai kingdom here and at Si Satchanalai. Really interesting history and my first Thai Green Curry actually from Thailand 🇹🇭
TravelerYou know in Thailand they just call it Green Curry

Traveler All looks fantastic, just the scale of the temples is mindblowing. How many chillies was the curry, I bet it was 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶. Hope you managed to salvage your sandals from the clarts Taylor! Enjoy rest of your day xx

Cool place! Saw Elephants, bunch of cool Temples and some gorgeous food (made by ourselves in a cooking class obvs), and climbed up some waterfalls that look more dangerous than they truly were

Hippy Town! Rented a scooter and pooled around to see canyons, dip in hotsprings, go on hikes in the Frungle (part forest, part jungle).

Oh and apparently took almost no pictures myself - enjoy some chiang mai elephant photos I forgot to upload on previous footprintRead more

Just straight up been ill the whole tike we've been here. I just got better than Taylor got ill. Seems a nice place but I'm not sure we'll explore much before we head to the border into Laos
Traveler Great marketing! 🤣🤣🤣

Crossed the border into Laos! Became Laos millionaires (which costs about £38) and met a lady with aggressive sales techniques who sold us sandwiches for the 2 day slow boat to Luang Prabang and taunted us the next day for not getting a Sim card with her.Read more
TravelerLove it! Glad you're both interacting so well with the locals 🤣 xx

Luang Prabang
February 2, 2024 in Laos ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
A lovely trip to the original capital of Laos - a really interesting history and some fantastic old buildings and newish Temples. A trip to the UnExploded Ordinance museum was very interesting learning about the bombing during the Vietnam War and how they're dealing with that today.

Travelled down to Vang Vieng on a terrifying Mini Van ride for some hippy hiking adventures and a hot air balloon ride!Read more
TravelerAll looks fantastic and interesting, can you just clarify they were snakes in those bottles !

Laos Hippy Backpacker Village! Lovely hiking and lagoons to be enjoyed. We were going to go hot air ballooning but they cancelled on us twice due to wind (they said I smelled too bad)

Not loads to do here despite being the capital - we found a tuk tuk tour with a VERY passionate guide who told us stories about Laos his Grandfather taught him.

Kong Lor (stop 2 of loop)
February 16, 2024 in Laos ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
Our longest drive of the loop, had to be mindful of landslides and some nasty potholes - a lot of fun though. Only time for one cave and a view point but they were lovely. Our accomodation was an eco lodge at the foot of beautiful mountains surrounded by tobacco farms and I had a beer in our hammock and felt the miles melt off - awesome dayRead more

Nahin (Stop 3 of the loop)
February 17, 2024 in Laos ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C
Visited the biggest cave in Asia and we took a 7 km boat through another cave that connects two villages. The cave originally had monkeys living there that were hunted down by people loving nearby previously- cannot imagine going into a pitch black cave to fight monkeys by candle light, that's a pass from meRead more

Again, big journey back towards Tahkhek so only time for one stop. But oh my, what a stop. Zip lining and hiking across bridges and nets above a limestone forest with Monkeys and lizards (only saw the latter). Incredible day!Read more

Pakse Loop
February 22, 2024 in Laos ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C
We like the first motorbike loop we decided to do another! We weren't as big fans of this one, but it had its charms - our last stop in Laos before Cambodia and we have to say Laos was way better than we expected

The Pakse Loop featured a lot of coffee plantations, waterfalls and village tours. I ate some ants that tasted like lemon and we got caught motorbiking across some fields in the wet rain and mud and almost slipped 😅Read more

Obviously you've got to go and see Angkor Wat when you're in Cambodia - cool temple, but we preferred the Temples nearby where trees grow ontop, underneath and through the ancient brickwork.

We also went on a tour of the floating villages on the Tonle Sap River. Fascinating to see how people have adapted to living on a river that rises 7 metres in the wet season and loses 7m in the dry

Also I can't get over the fact that children here will throw the middle finger at you fir jokesRead more

Battambang
February 29, 2024 in Cambodia ⋅ ☀️ 36 °C
Whistle-stop tour here to see the sights before we move on to Phnom Penh - went on a 'train' called the bamboo train that was used while the government shit down train services and is essentially a slab of bamboo sticks two sets of rolling wheels and an engine, we also saw the killing caves where thousands were executed by the Khmer Rouge and saw a 'bat cave' where every night 15 million bats fly out to eat all the mosquitoes (good bats)

Also love seeing macaques everywhere in cambodia - they're amazingRead more

Phnom Penh
March 1, 2024 in Cambodia ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C
Capital city of Cambodia, and the site of many very sobering visits. The killing fields and the prison where people were tortured - all happened in such recent history and was really interesting and upsetting at the same time.Read more
