Day 11: The long and winding road to Vientiane
It’s 5:45pm, I just got into Vientiane and I’m already thinking of how I’m going to get out. Not that there’s anything wrong with the city, it’s just that I need to be back in Bangkok before the 18th, and it’s already Friday tomorrow, so I need to book myself train tickets back to Thailand.…

Day 10: Getting tired doing nothing
To stay or not to stay, that has been the question in my mind these past days. I’m liking the pace of life here in Luang Prabang, but the boredom is starting to get to me. There’s really not much you can do in Luang Prabang. Oh, there’s the trekking, but that’s not my thing.…

Day 9: Watching the world go by in Luang Prabang
I wanted to wake up early, to walk around the town before it gets too hot. But I had such great sleep last night that I put off waking up until past 8am. It wasn’t until 9:30 that I was able to leave Vilay Guesthouse. I walk down the road towards the Mekong, and walked…

Day 8: Flying into Luang Prabang, Laos
It was another early morning, since I have to ride the airport bus going to Suvarnabhumi at 7am. Instead of having to go to the travel agency’s office, the agent told me that the bus will pick me up from my hostel. At that note, I knew it was a mini-bus, rather than the actual…

Day 7: Stumbling upon the path to dollie heaven
True enough, I had a hard time sleeping last night. Though I can easily blame it on my insomnia-inducing medicine, I think it’s also partly because I wanted to watch as much episodes of Voice that I can. I ended up turning off the lights at 2:30am, after watching the finale episode. It was much…

Day 6: Sick in Bangkok
Once again I woke up too early for my liking. It has been a fitful sleep. I had a hard time sleeping, and then when I finally fell asleep, I was woken up by noises from outside my room. First it was a gaggle of ladies having a big laugh from the ground floor of…

Day 5: Overland crossing from Cambodia to Thailand
I woke up early, because my taxi is picking me up at 6:30am. I decided to cross the border to Thailand on my own, instead of taking the bus with the rest of the other tourists. The bus is actually so much cheaper than doing it on my own, but I guess I wanted to…

Day 4: Lazing about in Siem Reap
Today was my laze around and do nothing day. Yeah, I went to another country to watch TV and Plurk. Get over it. Despite my plan to sleep early last night, I ended up sleeping past midnight, since it took me almost six hours to finish that one blog entry (including editing photos, uploading and…

Day 3: Angkor Heritage Park, Siem Reap, Cambodia
I don’t think I was able to get much sleep last night. It was one of those nights that you’re so certain you didn’t sleep a wink, yet cannot account for all hours you spent supposedly awake. Nevertheless, I was able to get enough rest to stay awake the whole day. I guess I was…
