Elephant Camp

Another great volunteering opportunity that grabbed my attention is the opportunity to work with the friendly giant the elephant. From what I can gather I'm mostly going to help out with the marketing, promotion, web affairs, press releases and such things for a new office they are opening in...

Laos - Direct from the Source.

YAY! PICTURES! Laos is hot. How hot? Three showers a day hot. Constant sweat hot. Blazing, punishing sun hot. Want to feel like you are here? Preheat the oven to 400. When it reaches that temp, open the door and lean forward. That blast of thick heat is what it's like here. Every day. All...

Luang Prabang, Laos - DIRECT FROM THE SOURCE!!

After my all-day hike, leech adventure. I headed south to Udomaxi. It's a sleepy pitstop of a place but beautiful nonetheless....surrounded by towering mountains surrounded by mist. From there, it was another bus ride to Nong Kiahaw and who should be on the bus but the family that was part...

The Slow Down.

Nuttter spent three entire days wandering towards Luang Prabang, still no pictures, the internet cafe's have cottoned on to the enormous downloading that back-packers are want to do and have pretty much made it as difficult as possible to do. Oh sure, they will put them on a disc for you for a...

Laos is quality...

We arrived in Vang Vieng & I emailed Allan our hotel details, so that he could find us when he arrived that evening from Vietiene. Whilst we were waiting we decided to hole up in the Irish bar located over the street from our hotel...which was to become a home from home for the next 3nights!...

Another Crepe please ....

No stop on the trip following a nasty bus ride was Luang Prabang. LP is a lovely little town perched it a couple of thousand metres above see level, thus it avoids the high humidity that the low lying areas of Laos are subject to. As with all tourist destinations in Laos it sits next to the...

Beautiful land, beautiful people

The pictures really speak for themselves in Luang Prabang. After being in Asia for over a year alot of the temples blend together. Luang Prabang in Laos will re-invigorate the spirit to go temple diving. Before I delve into our time in Luang Prabang, half of the adventure was getting...

Luang Prabang, city of romance

(Katie) I loved Luang Prabang. It's a diginified and lovely alien of a place, like a runaway Parisian neighborhood that started a new life in the tropics. The roads are lined with soft-hued French colonial mansions, many now turned into guesthouses, and giant shady trees. The city just...

Kayaking out of Luang Nam Tha

(Michael) This posting is for Luang Nam Tha Luang Nam Tha, in Northern Laos, is a little town by any standard. Not much can be seen in this dusty little strip, besides a small market, a few guest houses, and a restaurant or too. It borders the Nam Ha National Forest, and for this reason, it's...
