The train we boarded in Bangkok was older and crappier than the one we got from Chiang Mai. Not as comfortable beds, no privacy and much noisier. Got lucky on the first […]

Return to Bangkok

Chiang Mai Cooking Class
Back on the spew mobile from Pai to Chiang Mai where we stayed for a few more days. Chiang Mai has ended up being one of our favourite spots in Thailand – […]
Pai and Thai Highlands Trekking

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)

Dingoes on Fraser Island
