Arrived in Bangkok at 7am, and we were clueless by 7.01am. SPrawling our bags accross a table in arrivals we devise a plan; get a taxi!
Heading dow to level one and Katie spots the flourescent pink taxi's, 'We have to have a pink one' she squeals with delight. Exhausted from our 24hour travel half way accross the world we collapse in the taxi all set for our hour long ride to the centre of Bangkok - Destination one!
We head straight to the Vietnam embassy aid of course, we have no photo's, so adventure number two - get two photo's.
Hot, sweaty and already frustrated with our oversized 'Back packs' we return to the embasy but this time WITH photos.
On route we meet a thai 'policeman' who is outraged by our decision to use the Vietnam Embassy to obtain a vietnam visa, clearly we should have known T.A.T was the place to go - how miseading of the Vietnamise.
We are thrust into a tuk tuk (our first experience of the infamous tin carts) and the police man sends up on our way! Confused and with absolutly no idea where were heading we squeeze into the (what may be described as) backseat - no seat belts, feet on top of bags, slightly hanging of the side with no safety we embark our crazy journey.
The road system appears to have no system so clinging tightly to eachother we weave in and out of lanes, avoid near misses with motorbikes, buses even people and shut our eyes as we pass cross roads, finally even more sweaty and now gassed from extreme exposure to exhaust fumes we arrive at T.A.T we loved every second!
Fortunatly, the Thai man, sorry 'policeman' was right. T.A.T were our saviours, in under a hour our man had sorted, booked and budgeted what we had been trying to do for months - THANKYOU!
SO with our new exciting trip all planned so with our new exciting trip all planned we handed over our passports and what little money we had to secure a deposit and set off for our hotel and a well needed nap.
What luxury awaited us, air conditioning free water, swimming pool and soft wonderful beds :) So, after what should have been an hours power nap but ended up as an 5 hour snoose we decide a dip in the pool only appropriate.
We slip into our bikinis and head accross the hotel. The outside pool was divine just coold enough to refresh and just warm enough to keep away the goose pimples.
Katie decided lengths would be sufficient as part of our 'get slim and sexy' regime. However, my 'lazy leg' decided not to comply and instead dragged aimlessly along behind :( - more work on my bingo wings i suppose.
In our new 'travellers mode we insist on speaking to everyone and ensuring we make 'friends' so when a young couple come down to the pool we pounce and make our kill "hi' we say, but what we really mean, "you will talk and socialise wih us until we let you go", please!
After our very 'slumming it style' swim we head out for dinner, belies rumbling and desperate for anything other than curry! the resaurant across from us seems very appealing and we perch up on a cute table outside, alongside a pair of concievably 'well travelled young ladies (hippies)'. Dinner was cheap and the vodka slipped down nicely, but this still didn't disguise the red hot chilly that was currently blowing our brains out and burning our mouths- the waitres apologises through sniggering teeth- how insincere of her. Hopefully we will be able to avoid the chilly from this point onward, eek! Tim for a stroll, we hit the streets and scoured the local markets- something for everyone. the streets were alined with music and market sellers, people everywhere, some chilling in the bars with thier seisha, others milling around hagling with the stool owners- always haggle we are told! we came across a masieur parlour offering a 'fish masage' how odd we thought, we peered inside. two people were perched inside on the side of a fish tank with literally fish feeding on thier feet, hndreds of tiny tiny fish- how disguisting :).
However, we did invest in a swedish oil massage- apparently the thai massage is brutal. after a few seconds of conviencing katie it was essential we had a massage, due to our sore backs and it bing just 150 baht (3pounds) she caved and our half hour greased up pain punishing massage began. It was so lovely really relaxing, drifting in and out of sleep we layed practically naked for a half hour massage. Once it drew to the end, we slipped back into our hareem trousers and continued to browse the markets. Subdued, oily and hot we head back to our hotel to call it a night, however, once there we decided that it being our only night in Bangkok we must hit Koh San road and get ourselves a bucket (a cocktail). We locate the busiest bar playing the loudest music and head upstairs and perch next to a table of 4 girls. After a few buckets and some good banter with the girls we exchange numbers and head back to our hotel. On the way, however, we are bombarded with offers to the ping pong show, which to our understanding is a sex show. We exchange glances knowing we are both thinking the same, we begin hangling a reasonable price for a taxi ride and the show. With just 250 baht in our pockets even our cutest smiles couldnt get the price below 300 - a missed opportunity! We turn in for the night reflecting on our day and sleep soundly in the air conditioned room knowing that our trip will be full of adventure and everything we imagined. » less

We promise this will be shorter!
we set our alarms for half past 9, nice early start ready for a full day to explore bangkok. in true style we oversleep, way past our alarm and way past check out time, 12.30 we finally arise, oops! in a mad rush to get showered, packed and out of that beautiful cool room we head down to reception fast aprroaching 2 oclock! with our giant ruksaks we head across the street for a thai style breakfast, cornflakes! well it's early days for us yet, please forgive the western breakie! We embark on our only essential tasks for the day get katie a watch and some flip flops, with her good haggling skills she gets a 'casio' watch and a pair of 'haviannas' for under 6 pounds!
We holla down a tuk tuk and head for the grand palace. We convince our driver to drop us at the palace wait while we explore then take us to the T.A.T office to settle our bill. Once at the grand palace we change out of our shorts and slingy vests into fetching shirts and long trousers. With the temperature aproaching 40 degreees and the sun blazing we begin out tour. The palace is trueling amazing, a real work of art. The detail astounds us! After a few touristy photos we run through the grounds due to extreme heat, the weight of our rucksacks and an insane amount of sweat, although beautiful, the walk was unbearable.
We head back to our tuk tuk who has only been waiting an hour, oops, and head to the T.A.T office.
Greeted with smiling faces and a beautiful cup of cold water each we settle our bill, ditch our rucksacks and head out for lunch with 2 hours until our overnight train to Chang Mai. After lunch we accidently fell into an amazing ice cream restaurant rammed with thai school children. We ordered just two scoops each which is apparently a giant conewhipped creap, sprinkled nuts and a glaced cherry on top - deeeelicious!!! 6.30 we head back to T.A.T collect our bags and jump on our 7.30 train which conveiniently is delayed for a hour. the train was a disaster, first off we walked to the very end of the platform looking for coach 9 to discover its at the very begining of the platform before number 4 and 7 :S we settle into seats 5 and 6 to be immediatly pushed out by the correct passangers of carriage 9 seats 5 and 6. Apparently we are carriage 7 seats 5 and 6 - right at the end of the platform! Finally we sit down in OUR seats and tackle dads safety wire mesh bag protector, impossible. With many confused but amused facers of onlookers from the seats around us, we chuck our sort of protected bags into the holdal with the assistance of two lads.
At 10 oclock we were told off by an old gentleman apparenlty its 'the law' not to make any noise after this time so we climb into the bottom bunk curtain closed and play a game of cards, "quielty." At 11.30 Katie climbed into the top bunk, straped in, with a measly blanket and in the over airconditioned cariage we try to fall asleep. » less

Once againBillie and Katie sleep in, we pack our bags with just the essentials needed for our 3 day escapade. Rain mack, toothbrush, hand sanitizer and a clean pair of undies. We stroll down for breakfast, no sense of time and dig into our fruit and yoghurt just as we take our first spoonful our truck arrives to whisk us away with just one other girl in it - Annika. We smile sweetly and tel them itll be fine to wait a few minutes while we finish our breakfast. After our delightful slightly rushed meal we hop on the back of the truck and make ourselves acquainted with Annika.
FIrst stop, a local market, here we realise our bags are completely unwaterproof and we have no mossie spray and unless we wana wipe up bums with leaves for the next few days we best get some toilet roll. The tour guide, Ivy, suggests to us to take a stroll through the market while he buys dinnerm however, the overwhelming smell of meat, the sheer vulgerness of fly contact brings all three of us close to vomitting. We run out the nearest exit and seek refuge far from the uncovered rare meat. Ivy cant understand the problem but hushes us onto the truck due to our protests. Off to the jungle we go!
We approach a tiny village up in the mountains that houses nothing more than tin and bamboo and the road just red dust. There is a local shop which is more like a concrete floor with a table on top selling nothing more than a few sweets. Ivy suggests we buy some sweets and chocolate for the local children. So lainden with 20 baht of goodies we head up to the local schoool where the children are about to have a nap (we soon disrupt this). Children hear up approaching and come rushing out huddled in groups too shy to be alone. We smile our biggest grins and proceed to approach them however it is not until these 2-4 year olds see our handful of sweets do they let us anywhere near. WIth the first offer of a mento all the children are huddling around us with their hands outstretched. It doesnt matter where u are in the world sweets truely are the way to a childs heart! We play for a few moments with the children admiring their basic one room nursey dirty clothes and lack of school equipment, we are truely far from the english system.
Our trek continues up hill on a road suddenly ivy veers offroad onto what can only be described as a vertical climb in shrubland. WIth no clear route or path we are sceptial to follow however he is our jungle man! The path continues like this for hours literally a narrow mud path with a vetical drop oneside and a steep incline the other, bamboo, banana leaves and chinese ivy intertwine the path to the opposing sides - very tricky obsticles to overcome! The route goes up and down, i mean vertical one way and vertical the other way (my poor knee is just about surviving, after a few slips our jungle man makes me a bamboo walking stick, much appreciated)
Lunchtime Ivy makes us a table and chairs from bamboo leaves which he tears down with a machette (where the hell did that come from). Ivy keeps promising a waterfall and eventually after a near death vertical decent we reach it. Now all we have to do is "walk the plank" a single strip of wood held to each side of the waterfall by what appears to be around 3 nails - not atall terrifying. So one by one we cross, once safely on the otherside, slip into our bikinis and jump straight into the rock pool absolute bliss!!!
At the end of the day after our 6 hour trek we reach our destiantion, finally. A beautiful elephant sanctuary situated amoungst rice fields and between mountains. As we approach, an american family are riding bare back on elephants and extrordinary site, there is nowhere else we would rather be. » less

After a stunning dinner we retire to our dorms, ever so slighly bitten to pieces by those oh so irritating mossies. After incurring a night of snoring we awake to a glorious day of yet more trekking. However, our first task - bathe the elephants, including little james bond.
We walk into the river with our tree trunk scrub brushes in hand and get to work on those filthy elephants a truely unforgettable experience. Clean as an elephant can be and too excited to stay in the water any longer we hop on to our elephants one each and make our way back to their stall. As they stand front legs first, all three girls are screaming...typical. MIne must be the mother of james bond as he insists on scampering around her feet and blowing water at me through his trunk. These elephants are not so well behaved as one may think! Which kaite and i further to discover on our 2 hour elephant trek.
After an extrodinary few hours playing with the elephants and our inside legs still tickling from their long hairs, we say goodbye to annika and head back deep into the jungle with our now slightly irritating guide ivy aka mr smiley and his over active mouth, which language he was speaking we have no idea!
6 hours later, hot dirty, wet, eaten to pieces and extremeley tired we arrive 1300m above ground (we walked upwards the whole day) :( at the most incredible hill tribe village, the lahoo people.
We walk through the village, litter everywhere, apparently no bin system, admiring the bamboo houss, the shack shop and the friendliest people. Our house has the most incredible view of the surrounding mountains and entire village. we throw our stuff inside and rest our wiery backs, however, we are soon interrupted by laughter and scuffling outside our door. 4 beautiful lahoo children are playing with my walking stick. They ranged from 1-9 and were playing harmonisly a rare sight in england. Katie and I were touched by their enthausiasm and beautiful little faces, we jumped straight into their games holding the bamboostick at both ends we encourage them, with katies gymnastic background, to do upward circles, backflips through their legs and even the tiniest, with his pants around his ankles and his bottom on show gave it his best show. As the games progressed we were soon leapfrogging around the bamboo patio ribbeting in true style, petrified that any minute we were going to jump a little too hard and plummet to the ground yet the children seemed to be oblivious to this (they are about 10 stone lighter than us)! after hours of playing the children retire for dinner and katie and i slump to the floor, hot and sweaty, but physically unable to wipe the smiles from our faces.
Ivy calls us in, dinners ready, katie the masterchef jumps straight in to help stir their gigantic pot. They prepare the "dinner table", a few woven blankets sprawled accross the bamboo balcony and we settle down to eat a feast. After dinner, Ivy insists that we sit and watch the beautiful still sky and asks "what is in the moon?" and "is the world rounded?" his crazy imagination playing away with him. However, looking hard, determined to not shatter ivys dreams both katie do infact see a little cat curled up on the moon! » less

After taking a night and afternoon to recover from our horrendous trek (which we thouroughly enjoyed and do not regret) we headed on a minibus up to Pai. Which oblivious to us was deep set in themountains and after a windy jagged 4 hour bus ride plus one very sick passenger we arrive just in time for the england game- thankgod.....
We found a cute little reggae bar amoungst this beatiful town and settle down for stunning dinner, As the match began, english supporters poured in yet the atmosphere was a little different to your average local, lieing dow on cushions watching the match from a bamboo box with reggae in the background and no commentry, it couldnt have been a more chilled scene to watch a more chilled match! Cmon England!
After a few white russians an older traveller showed us some amazing bamboo hut accomodation right by the river which apparently, up early enough you would see the water buffalo creeping down, no chance in hell we would see that. Katies legs bitten to pieces, itchy as anything we decided to call it a night and cover them in tiger balm.
We were rudly awoken by what can only be described as your local indoor swimming pool and the height of summer, we were asleep next to a local school and apprently it was lunch time - was just a bunch of school children having a great time. At breakfast we bumped into a guy who travelled up to Pai with us who was renting a wicked house 20 mins out of the village, so we hired a moped (automatic) and followed him up. Him and his house mates took us on an adventure to the local waterfall, it was stunning! Slipping down the natural slide into the freezing water, surrounded by jungle i couldnt imagine anywhere else more beautiful and whether it was the water or the surroundings that took my breath away i had to stop for a few seconds and grasp the reality of where we really were. Our bus was at 3.30 so despitte wanting to stay longer we had to go back to the village this is where katie took to the steering wheel with her first ever moped experience, she was fab, what a natural!!!! 3.30 came around far too quickly and sitting on the bus back to chang mei we were sold, Pai really is magnificent. Later that evening we arrive back in Chang Mei only to find we have been working a day ahead of time, we had no hostel booked and we werent leaving for Loas in the morning. So...not only could wehave stayed in Pai longer, our favourite place in the world right now we also owed them a nights stay as we checked out late, what a horrible end to a wonderful day.. Hot headed we stormed out of our hostel in seach of something better, and better we found. Little Bird. » less

Determined to enjoy our final unplanned day in chiang mai we hire another moped and begin our tour of this 'apparently' beautiful city. we hit the streets, forgetting that we are now on major roads and the drivers have no sense of the highway code, petrified i darted in and out of side roads in a desperate attempt to avoid the chaos of the main streets, we passed through truely bizaree areas, some may call it 'the ghetto' finally too ht to function and shaking with fear we pull over and grab a refreshment, for me a wonderful well deserved cornetto and for katie a,milo, a gigantic mess of chocolate chocolate and condensed milk, apprentyl truely sensational! we attempt to fid our way back to the hostel to scared to continue much more of this manic driving, katie is our navigator, as all i can physically manage at this stage is holding on and looking forward in a drastic attempt to keep us alive! yet katie's ability to navigare was a litle out of practice and after an hour of driving past teh same street over and over (all katie could manage was a simple oopps in return to my shaken angry scared shell of a person) we found our way home yayn :) we dumped the moped and ran upstairs to cool down and take some time out, however on the way up we ran into two guys who were very charming and chilled sitting aound with thier guitar talking of the jobs they were apparently looking for!! after an hour of chatting they convinved us to join them in a game of badminton, we had nothing better to do so why not! they scuffeled off to get changed and we er did the same? after giving our filthy trainers away at the end of our trek and with no obvious badminton gear with us we simply setteled on what we were wearing. I had a tny pair of denim shorts and sad
dals on and katie had leggings, a long boob tube and a cute pair of ankl sandels on, totally appropraite we felt! as we met the bois all rearing to go in their gym shorts, trainers and t-shirts we did feel slightly inappropriare, ah well we will just rely on our skil ;)
Believe it or not we were bloody ace! i teamed with will and katie with benjamin, and after two matched the score was 1-1 one more game to decide the overall wnners, it must be said we all played our hearts out, sweat dripping from every inch of our bodies, slipping and sliding all over the court, throwing our every strength into each move darting across from side to side, friendhips threatened, even ended at one point. yet after an extremely intense final game and having to play to three points clear me and will were crowned the overall winners, and we made no attempt in hiding our victory dance, sore winners maybe but we felt gloious :) Finally after near 2hours we culd settle back into our frindships with no hard feelings (if i hadn't of won it might not have turned out that way)! Back at the hostel we met the rest of the little bird crew, a bunch of travellers that just couldnt leave this wicked city! they offered to take us out and celebrate our last night in chiang mai in style! washed, less sweaty and much more beautiful we headed out for dinner and then onto their favourite 1ppound mojito bar! After 8 mojito between katie and i we heaed over to the regga area, a wicked assortment of ragge bars and clubs; we truely did dance the night away, and being the last ones standing (just) we headed home around 4am with a quick pit stop at 7/11 the local convience store to grab katoe a chubba chubb lolly and the bois a greasy hot dog! we sat down stairs at our hostel chatting away until 5am and only stopped because it suddenly dawned on us that we had to be at the bus stop in 4 hours to grab our transport to laos eeek, bedtime for us! the perfect way to end our stint in thailand, the best night out i've certainly had in a very long time and i belive for katie also! x » less

After our first early start and a horrific one at that, feeling slightly worse for wear we head to breakfast, however we stuck to fruit and yogurt no greasy fry up for us...not! of course we did, sausage bacon and egg all he way please! well come on it was our first and hopefully last! our bus was an hour late, we scampered on, squished into tiny seats and set our sights on a 6hour bus ride! we got chatting to this couple on their 5month honeymoon, they have the right idea, katie couldnt manage much more than focusing forward and even for mee chatting was astruggle as we twisted and turned more and more on this horrific bus ride. finally we arrived at the thai side of the boarder, totally clueless as of what to do next we stuck with our new found 'married couple' buddies and worked out how to cross the river to arrive in our 2nd country...laos :). Once we arrived we were confronted with some bad news, the brilliant deal we thought we had with our thai tourist office wasnt actually so great, we assumed we had the 'slow boat' our next means of transport booked and paid for however we were mislead and unfortunatley ahd to fork out and extra 18pounds each, a massive chunk of our weekly budget (no dinner for us)
Our next task was to scowl the streets to find the cheapest accomodation we possibly could, and we did. Paying just 1.60 for the night each we settled into our slightly dark and grubby room. After a few minutes of being in our room, the receptionist who we barted with for our room came in and sat down on the spare bed. He offeredus a price of 150 baht if he could stay the night in our sparebed, thnking he was jking we laughed but kindly declined his offer. Determined he offered us 150 baht for a kissof the cheek again we laughed but kindly we declined. Finally his third attempt he offered us 150 night for a kiss, oblivious to his actions i lied on my bed playing with my phone, the next thing i loook up to see his open mouth towering over me with a howering screm from katie "noooooooooooooo". I lay therestunned the receptionist just tried to snog me, mortified he jumped up and ran out. Katie and i besides ourselves with laughter and utter shock we locked the door and baracadded it with the wardrope in fear of his scary open mout returing in the night!
Hopefully the rest of laos wont be quite so forward. we drifted into sleep excited to find what 'else'this new country had to offer :) x » less

We departed Vietnam on a slow boat and slow it was, thankfully this gave us time to reflect and during this time we came up with our top 10. This top 10 is not of our favourite things yet instead it is the 10 most common things that stood out to us during our 2 and a half week adventure through Vietnam.

Top 10
1 - The motorbikes - this mode of transport was by far the most common and boy were there alot! It seemed to be used for a little bit of everything from a 5 man family car to an extensive removal truck aswell as taxis, food carts, intimidation and so on. ANyhting a car can do, or even a truck these small motorpeds seemed to be able to. We first noticed the extent of motorbikes when we attempted our first road crossing as a wave of motorbikes crashed towards us we held hands, and our breaths, closed our eyes and walked praying that with any luck they would avoid us and we would make it safely to the other side (this was a side road!) By the time we came to a main road we had perfected our close your eyes and walk method but it was no less intimidating.
2 - Squatting - The infamous squat. Westerners favour chairs whereas the Vietnamese prefer to plant their feet firmly on the ground, spread their legs and hover their bottom centimetres from the ground. COmfortable? Not on our attempts! This method was used everywhere, be it side stalls, markets, restaurants, and general social gatherings. No matter where we were in Vietnam, we could count on seeing the familiar squat on every corner of the road.
3 - Wealth - This seemed to be displayed by old men pulling their t shirts above their chubby bellys and parading around in this manner. First met with this display we thought it was due to heat and still found it odd and disturbing but later to be told that it was a sign of hierachy we were baffled. Apparently the big fat bellys show that these men eat and eat alot! which you can only do if you have money to buy the food. Therefore,. the men in the country are far more respectable in keeping their bellys hidden than the over indulgent city men.
4 - Friendly - We found the Vietnamese to be the friendliest race we have encountered. They are extremely helpful and forecoming with any requests, even as we walk down the streets if our faces show confusion there were many offers of guidance without even having to ask. As well as this, stall sellers and street sellers alike never hassled us instead they would offer their goods once and back down if no interest shown.
5 - SAME SAME BUT DIFFERENT - The most overused quote to penetrate our ears for 2 weeks. The countrys motif perhaps?!
6 - Food haunts - Vietnam was great for offering local restaurants. Everywhere we went we could count on that round the next corner we would come accross a sea of tiny plastic chairs and tables rammed together offering noodles and rice crammed with locals enjoying some scrummy flavoursome local delicacy. Although flilthy they were fun to eat at and a great experience.
7 - Clothing - Even in the blistering heat, the womn of Vietnam would cover themselves from head to toe in material be it jeans and a hoodie, accompanied with a hat and face mask or a short sleeve top and "arm gloves"'. At first we couldnt understand the reasoning for this, was it religion? However we discovered that the woman choose to cover themselves to avoid a suntan and darken their skin instead the prefer to endure unbearable heat in order to keep themselves "'white'" as that is a sign of wealth and beauty. Totally ridiculous when infact in our eyes the darker woman were more beautiful.
8 - Rules of the road - To put it bluntly, there werent any!! Bikes travelled in every direction on the road, red lights were green lights, lanes? what lanes, safe distance from the car infornt equalled bumper to bumper, the only recognised road rule was the use of the horn. The loud, constant, irratating beep WAS their road awareness, mirrors werent necessary! And finalkly amoung all this chaos, helmets were so uncool...carnage!
9 - Cone Hats - Vietnames contribution to world wide fashion.
10 - CHEAP AS CHIPS - 3 course dinner would cost you 3 pounds, large bottle of water 18p and most important of all, ice cream was 50p! YUM » less
