March 5, 2016 Ryan and Mel Leave a comment

Click HERE for trip index Getting to our accommodation in Khao Lak was easier than expected. The tourist minivans would stop in central khao lak only leaving us stranded, so we opted for public big bus so walked to the main road where there is a “bus stop”. Within seconds…

Asia 2016: Ao Nang and Khao Sok

February 29, 2016 Ryan and Mel Leave a comment

click HERE for trip index Ao Nang Getting a stupid 06:25 flight is never a good idea, and getting to Chiang Mai airport at 5:10 was cutting it fine especially as there is a security scan before you get into the airport, so by the time you get to the…

Asia 2016: Chiang Rai

February 20, 2016 Ryan and Mel Leave a comment

Click HERE for trip index Getting from Pai to Chiang Mai isn’t simple, you have to go back to Chiang Mai then head north. We opted for the “interesting” route…. So the journey from Pai to Chiang Mai was in a minivan through the same company we used to get…

Asia 2016: Pai, Sappong (aka Pang Mapha), Tham Lot

February 14, 2016 Ryan and Mel Leave a comment

Click HERE for trip index Well Mel was very daunted having convinced herself the journey from Chiang Mai to Pai would be a puke fest as per the internet comments. We booked a minivan via our guesthouse (Funky Monkey) and awaited pickup…. The previous day we met someone who did…

Asia 2016: Chiang Mai

February 6, 2016 Ryan and Mel Leave a comment

Click HERE for trip index          As expected the night train was late and sadly the Air con sleeper we booked was broken so we were in a fan (non ac) one with a promised refund on arrival. Last time with a failed AC unit we baked, but this time…

Asia 2016: Ayutthaya, Pak Chong, Khao Yai

Click HERE for trip index Fortunately, the minivan from Kanchanaburi to Ayutthaya ran and was surprisingly efficient, collecting us and delivering us door to door at our guesthouses. We stayed in the same place as 2012 and worryingly the lady recognized us. We only stayed the night as we had…

See HERE for trip index This trip is slightly different to our previous Asia trip as my parents should have been joining us for the first 4 weeks (see later). As they are (cough) 70+ we’ve had to take that into consideration in terms of locations and timings, with the…
