See trip index here, Laos index here, and more photos from Laos here Vang Vieng is pretty much a nowhere place – its entire existence seems to be a travellers way point and has little Laos character, but the scenery and activities more than make up for it.  To be […]

89-93 Vang Vieng to Luang Prabang

See trip index here, Laos index here, and more photos from Laos here Savannakhet is one of the first places we’ve been pleased to get away from.  Unless you are into Eco Treks and homestays then its rather dull, apart from trying to escape from the most aggressive dogs we’ve […]

86-89 Savannakhet – Vientiane – Vang Vieng

See trip index here, Laos index here, and more photos from Laos here We only stopped at Pakse as it was a convenient destination when crossing into Laos, and to be fair it doesn’t have any must see sights.  However, as an intro to Lao Peoples Democratic Republic (Lao PDR) […]

See trip index here, Laos index here, and more photos from Laos here As mentioned previously, there is very little information on the Internet about getting from Cambodia to Laos via the route we are going.  What information exists is conflicting and though we hope all the good things we […]

Camboida Costs and Review

See trip index here, Cambodia index here, and more photos from Cambodia here Our last chilled day in sunny Siem Reap we did research on how to get to our next destination – Kratie – on the way to Pakse in Laos.  Quite a journey with very limited options, and […]

77-80 Siem Reap to Kratie

See trip index here, Cambodia index here, and more photos from Cambodia here After another lovely street food meal, with some superb shakes we said goodbye to Battambang – a tatty place with a friendly feel.  Hopefully it will improve over the next few years.  Our bus journey from Battambang […]

73-77 Battambang to Siem Reap (Angkor Wat etc)

SE Asia Trip – Map of route

See trip index here, Cambodia index here, and more photos from Cambodia here On our return to Phnom Penh, we wondered if our positive views would change after our experience in Sinanoukeville, as to be fair, there are plenty of girlie bars and “hello tuktuk!” men.  But something about PP […]

69-73 Phnom Penh to Battambang

See trip index here, Cambodia index here, and more photos from Cambodia here Our positive view of Cambodia and Phnom Penh continued after going out for a beer at 50p a glass and then to the local night market for tea.  You can’t get more authentic than joining pretty much […]
