Well sorry to say still not intrepids biggest fan but atleast after india I know what to expect so am much more prepared and as such enjoying myself way more.
The group is great a good mix of ages sexes and nations. and the guide Charles is a crackup very sarcastic so thats is fun.
So far we have escaped a major train crash seriously injuring 11 people and hurting 72 simply by missing the usual train and taking the late one. So that was good but on the downside had to miss Chang mai completely and no elephant ride. then we headed to Chang Khong which sits alongside the mekong river and is a nice quiet little town.
then we hopped on a longtail boat for two days of quietly drifting down the Mekong into Laos - which is now my favourite Asian country outside of Japan. The people are so sweet and interesting. The food is fabulous and the silks are to die for pity I have run out of money.
Anyway love South East Asia and would love to come back. Only 28 days now till I am back in Melbourne.
