Day Trip to Hua Hin

The day trip to Hua Hin would have gone much smoother if we had gone by train but I didn't really fancy getting early for the first early morning train.Instead the buses ,every 30 minutes and the journey taking 3 hours seemed a good idea.However,I didn't reckon on the taxi driver taking us to the wrong airport and then having to take a second taxi.In addition to this the bus after a three and an half plodding journey the bus didn't stop at the so called bus station but instead continued out of town to the next town.At the bus station in Bangkok the destination sign only read Hua Hin!;If I'd only realised!.....

Laos:Ventianne,Vang Viang and Luang Prabang

Recently my mum and I went to Laos for a week visting the city Ventianne,the town Vang Viang,and the city Luang Prabang.
The highlight of Ventianne was the Buddah Park,though the stautes in the Buddah Park in Nong Khai were in a much better state in Ventianne the statues had been mostly blackened by dark green mould and the rain.Mum enjoyed Luang Prabang best of all especially the morning market next to the Ramayana Hotel,hwhere the local people were selling a wide range of dead animas from dead frogs,a blackbird, to weasels. The night market was very colourful often selling very similiar items to Thailand.
My mum also enjoyed chatting to the other holiday makers and the local people that we met in the different places we stayed at and visited.
