So you want to travel from Vientiane to Udon Thani or Bangkok? You can do it easily and get a bus from one of the travel agents. To Udon Thani they asked 60.000 Kip in March 2015. No clue why that is so expensive. At the bus station in Vientiane, a ticket to Udon Thani…
Since I wanted to meet friends in Vientiane Friday night i had to get down there. Took the VIP bus for 50.000 with a pick up in town. That worked quite good and the best thing was that the bus did stop opposite the Mixay Hotel. That was the hotel where I wanted to stay…
A few days in Luang Prabang before I took a minibus down to Vang Vieng. 60 years Lao People’s Revolutionary Party! After that looong day on the boat I was happy to arrive in Luang Prabang. Took me about 30 minutes to find a room. The guy wanted 50.000 kip but when I turned away…

Last day in Bangkok before Singapore tomorrow. Mitsos, his sister and Elena where in Bangkok – nice to see them before I head home in a few days. Back home it is still very cold – hope that this will be a bit better in 6 days! A few more Pictures from the Island of…
A Mini Bus from Pai to Chiang Mai, a VIP Bus down to Ubon Ratchastani – a looong wait and then another bus over the border to Pakse. There i did meet a few Thai ladies on a trip. So i did join them on the way down to Don Det. We had lunch and…
Everybody knows about the White Temple in Chiang Rai – but nobody seems to know the Black Temple. Here are a few pictures for you. And if you are the next time in Chiang Rai – visit the Black Temple – it is even more interesting that the White Temple. The Black Temple is not…
