Pai and Thai Highlands Trekking
After a few nights in Chiang Mai we took the bus further north to Pai. The road is only 120km long but takes over 3 hours due to the very sharp hairpins […]
Scootering in Chiang Mai
Scooters are highly efficient modes of transport. In Thailand they’re the most efficient way a tourist can be involved in a fatal accident. What an exhilarating experience it was to mix it with Thai […]
Hello from Thailand
Thailand isn’t outback Australia you say. You’d be right. We’re taking a few months off our tour around Australia to travel south east Asia. Our trip started in Bangkok. New York might […]
A visit to Perth (home)
