Howdy all. You may recall a couple of weeks back I did a post where I talked about a crazy idea to travel Singapore to Lhasa and Lanzhou by the world’s highest rail line as an overland itinerary as I desperately tried to fill a gaping void in my life without the ability to travel. …
Hi all. Well, today’s let’s take a wander over to Thailand shall we? The capital Bangkok is not one of my favourite cities in the world, although having said that I don’t pathologically hate it either, but if you’re spending any sort of time in Thailand odds are you are going to have pass through …

South East Asia is a big place, it’s densely populated and there are so many different people and different languages. It’s generally pretty hot most of the time, with only a few places in the north ever really cooling down substantially (such as Hanoi, which had maximums of around 15 degrees when I was there!) …
Howdy all. Bangkok, the capital of Thailand. I've been through it I think four times thus far in my life. On my first trip solo, it was my first stop and it certainly left an impression on me even if I didn't spend much time there. In fact, I have never really spent a long …
Thailand. It was my first experience travelling solo. It’s a pretty popular country in South East Asia for tourists and especially backpackers and has been for a good thirty years or more now.

Howdy folks! Maybe I should have named this ‘where I would go in South East Asia’… but I am going to try and tailor this post to different tastes so we’ll see how we go. South East Asia is absolutely full of amazing highlights, there’s no denying it, and those highlights come in many forms …
Ahhh beautiful Laos. Gentle Laos. Kind Laos. Of a similar size to neighbours Thailand and Vietnam, Laos has only a fraction of their populations at somewhere around 6.8 million people. This makes Laos a country with far more space per person. So it’s the perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of …
One could consider this not just a first taste of Thailand for me, but a first taste of solo travel! I’ve been back several times since 1999 when I first stepped off the plane on my first stop of my first solo backpacker adventure, but in no way did any of the subsequent times capture …
