Today was the day I head out to catch the slowboat to Luang Prabang, Laos. The minivan picked me up in the morning and was already loaded with a group of travelers. Our first stop was at the White Temple in Chiang Rai. Wat Rong Khun is a contemporary unconventional Buddhist temple designed by Chalermchai...

This morning I met up with a online friend, travel blogger Matthew of Expert Vagabond. We chatted about our various travels and experiences. He was setting out that evening to do a Visa run to Laos. I recommend checking out his site. Lots of good info. My day consisted of catching up with email, downloading...

Well, after checking my nightly email at the rooftop reggae bar called the Last Bar – named appropriately because it’s the last bar off the beachside walk in East Railey – and after a couple “big Changs” I decided to head...
