Bits And Pieces: Thailand, Laos, Vietnam
Thoughts, snippets and happenings on our first three countries that didn’t fit into other entries.
-
Sabaidee Laos
Crossing the border into Laos sees me almost adopt a new Scandinavian identity, before becoming very well acquainted with fellow passengers on a bus with a load that would have made Atlas shrug.
-
Long Tail Sally
In which we make our way from Thaton to Chiang Rai with 12 foreigners and lots of baggage in a boat designed for 10 locals and some fruit, along a river shallow enough that you could do a reasonable impression of Jesus. Cue grated nerves.
-
On The Road Again
In which we travel from Chiang Mai to Thaton in a mosquito enclosure on wheels and see some of the beautiful northern Thai countryside.
-
Northern Soul
In which I try for a long time to describe Chiang Mai without using the word “love”, then give up and use it in the first sentence.
-
Scenic Route
It’s hard to get lost in a city centre that’s bounded by a square of four very obvious, very ancient walls, but we managed it tonight.
-
Travel Game: King
The Thai people love their king and aren’t afraid to show it, inspiring a fun new travel game.
-
Taken For A Ride
In which we are taken for a ride, literally, make an unexpected purchase and meet a modern day Kharon.
-
Accidental Activism
In which we visit the markets, have a BBQ, try not to take sides in Thai domestic politics and are driven around Bangkok on motorised tricycles.
-
The Getaway
Day one of Monkey And The Benj Hit The Road almost stops before it starts at a Qantas check-in desk, then picks up the pace with alacrity on arrival in Bangkok.

Howdy!
Technology and travel stories from a global roaming, kangaroo loving, sake drinking gaijin pom.
