Our second night in Chang Mai we were joined by Marianna and friends and it was great to see a familiar face and to go out with someone who knew what was going on. We did some partying in good bars with some locals - crazy thai guy who said sophie looked like his fish....nice! also went to this place which was massive and had a great live thai band on. Chatted and danced with locals and had a good couple of days.
Next stop was Chang Rai - a slightly smaller town than Chang Rai, we found a great guest house tucked away, did some more drinking- this time in at tipee bar- the decor was hmmm...mental, music was hmmm...80's and it was a good chilled out night. After a days rest by the pool and a trip to the night market for some food from the stalls for 20p we said our farewells to the last of our buddies...
The next couple of days involved a loooottt of travelling - chang mai to chang kong to huay xai a very bizarre non existent town (but we had a great meal here where we bar b q our own fish!) then to Luang probang - killer bus journey ( was supposed to be 10 hours....actually 13 but worth it!) the views were amazing and the villages we went through were unbelievably basic and incredible to see...we were on a local bus by the way, traveling also with about 20 bags of rice, 15 or so locals, a chicken, some small birds and a puppy. Definitely a journey to remember :)
Luang Probang is stunning, the people friendly, the food very good but less spicy than thai. By the way Laos coffee....5 stars!! We had a perfect day eating by the Mekong river, mopeding to waterfalls and generally loving Laos....2 more days then off to Vang Vieng for some tubing!
