Kanchanaburi is central west no? Tried thorntree but there's a surprising lack of info on isaan there. Was hoping someone here might have been.

in southwest Malaysia myself now. Place called melaka, cool little Dutch colonial town on the rivermouth. Lots of little streets a cool china town and uber friendly people all looking out for me 'cos im on my own.

off to Singapore tomorrow to catch my flight to Sydney but i must say the last 6 weeks in South East Asia have been both an amazing experience and a real eye opener. Highlight has to be Laos in its entirety, so much to do, so friendly and great sights...although i haven't a bad word about Vietnam either. Thailand and Cambodia were great but had their depressing sides on opposite ends of the spectrum (thailand gone so greedy, cambodia needs a dig out)

God bless South East Asia, i'll be back

Vang Viang is disappointing. Was expecting it to be more like Pai. Smile bar is a shithole and there was 15 guys in bikinis there last night. Still, it beats ireland. Suckers!!!

YEAH U WOULDNT STAY THERE FOR LONG, TUBING AND GO, THE RESTURANTS/CINEMAS ARE RIDDLED WITH RATS, U SEE THEM RUNNING UP THE WALLS!

 

[RSJ]

Haven't gone tubing yet but everyone i'm with has been and they all got sick immediately after and have been fucked all week, stomach cramps, dihorrea, nausea. I might give it a skip i'd say.

I'm back in cold Ireland. Van Vieng is great!

It's alright, ended up spending about ten days there. Hammocks by the river is the job. Being a prick to the DJ in smile bar is fun too. Headed for 4000 islands tomorrow. Good times.

[RSJ]

Like i said in yer myspace mail, i spent an age making a plan and haven't stuck to it whatsoever so far, so fuckitt, go, meet cool people, and learn from what they said is awesome. And go to pai. Definitely go to pai.

 

[mr pharmacist!!!!1]

yeah got your msg dude, cheers.
im such a lazy cunt to be honest, making an epic plan was never gonna happen.

4000 Islands is the best thing about laos.

Vietnam - opinions? About 90% of the opinions i've heard amount to "avoid like the plague" but i've budgeted a month there. Thinking now of skipping it altogether or just going to see the south for the american/vietnam war history bits.

 

[CitySickness]

Vietnam's OK, I didn't get to see much of it though and was sick for most of that (thanks, Cambodia!). Hoi An is a cool little place to hang out for a few days, and the food is incredible.

PS Don't go to Dalat, it's a dump.

 

[mr pharmacist!!!!1]

i was going to propose to my girlfriend in dalat.
thanks for the tip citysickness!

 

[CitySickness]

Any time d00d. Propose to her in Hoi An instead IMHO.

agreed, was just there a little over a week ago, kept putting off leaving and when the day finally came me and the girl were super depressed.

i had a pretty great time in Dalat, was only there for a couple days but its quite a pretty place, got force fed whiskey by some pissed-up old dudes by the lake, they kept asking (with their hands) if me and the girlfriend had sex. fun day.

I was just thinking that, by the dates, we must have been there the same time. Yeah, i half half remember that. The monkey's name is bob (a name i gave him from blackadder. His name was the laoation for "monkey" so i felt he needed a proper name). I'm going back to see him in a few weeks. I can't fucking wait.

PS did you make it to the bakery? I heard it were proper good but when i went with bob he got freaked out so we left.

i'd give anything to be heading back there, best place we've been so far, gonna be back in smelly bangkok tomorrow and then its off to chile (with a quick stop off in oz). yeah the bakery was amazing, tho the best thing about it was that the baker cycled by our hut every night around 6, selling off the last of the days cakes, think i put on about a stone that week.
