Pai is a funky little hippie town situated in the mountains of northern Thailands’ Mae Hong Son Province. It’s right near the Myanmar border and around 146km north of Chiang Mai (...the city where my 14-hour-train-ride-from-the-depths-of-hell dropped me off). Chiang Mai is a great place with an abundance of things to see and do but… Continue reading A little piece of pai…
Chiang Mai is fantastic. I had booked my hostel on the overnight train and as soon as I arrived, I hopped into a red truck taxi and made my way there for some sleep and a hot shower. I was staying at ‘thunderbird’ hostel. A funky, edgy, design hostel right next to the fruit markets… Continue reading Oh Chiang Mai…
First off, sorry for the silence. In a way it’s a good thing, I’ve been having an absolute ball and for that reason, my blog has been a little quiet and y’all have been messaging me to update it. So I’m back, I’m writing and wait till you hear what I’ve been getting up to...… Continue reading The Bangkok- Chiang Mai overnight train from hell
Towards the end of the tour in Sri Lanka I was beginning to feel exhausted. I’d barely slept in weeks (due to the fact I was sharing a room with a baby walrus) and I was beginning to wish the tour to an end. It’s not that I don’t like people...it’s that I can’t tolerate… Continue reading Alone in Bangkok
As my last official night in this fab country I found it fitting, and quite frankly necessary, to dedicate an entire blog post to this fantastic wee island. I’m not gonna lie, we got off to a shaky start. Screaming and shouting at the baggage service team definitely wasn’t how I envisaged my first port… Continue reading Cheerio Sri Lanka, it’s been a blast
As we travelled from Nuwara Eliya to Ella I really didn’t know what to expect at all. I’d heard from a few other backpackers it was a bit more upbeat and more popular with tourists than the smaller towns we've been to but aside from that I had no idea what it was even going… Continue reading Little Adams Peak, Ella
The last few days have been absolutely brilliant. At the start I was feeling unsettled and anxious due to having none of my own stuff but now I feel I can relax a bit more and just buckle in for the ride. We spent two days in Kandy - the majority of the first day… Continue reading A wee brew in the Glenloch Tea Plantation
Good news !! I finally got my rucksack and ALL MY CLOTHES AND TOILETRIES from Colombo airport. After 4 days without any of my own stuff I decide to bite the bullet and make the 8 hour round trip back down to the capital from Anuradhapura and then head east to Kandy which is where… Continue reading I got my bag!! …and about 12783 mossie bites…
It's been difficult trying to get adjusted to my new life living out of a backpack when I don't actually have a backpack to be living from. Since I've got here I've been relying on the help of other travellers for the likes of spare clothes/ toiletries and general necessities like bug spray (I'm being… Continue reading Sri Lanka Days 1-3 (Negombo – Anuradhapura)
Carrying on from my last post where I said things would undoubtedly go wrong, I’d like to start this blog post by saying that well, they already have. My last update was sitting in Dubai airport waiting to board my flight to Colombo, full of hopes and expectations and looking forward to that feeling of… Continue reading It can only get better…
