After an afternoon rest, we thought we’d get a bit fancy for the evening and do a date night. I made reservations at Paste, the fussy modern fusion restaurant we had tapas at a couple of days before. First though, we would need to get some coffee in us, so we grabbed a latte andContinue reading “Luang Prabang: Day 4”

Luang Prabang: Day 3
Compared to the Monk’s Trail leading up to Wat Pha Lat, Phu Si Hill was a breeze. Well, more like a wheeze; I did have to take a couple of breaks. The views of the surrounding city were more than enough dessert for eating my hiking vegetables, though. There’s only so many different ways toContinue reading “Luang Prabang: Day 3”
Luang Prabang: Day 2
Wat Xieng Thong is a temple with a lot of historical significance for the Lao people. Prior to the establishment of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic (the current ruling body), it was a royal temple under the patronage of the king. It served as a place for Lao kings to be crowned, and still housesContinue reading “Luang Prabang: Day 2”
Luang Prabang: Day 1
The flight to Laung Prabang was short and uneventful. We walked past the airport gates, because I had read you could get a tuk-tuk for cheaper than the shuttle-taxis in the airport. No such luck. Tuk-tuk was charging the same price as the taxis, so we shrugged and forked it over. We were staying atContinue reading “Luang Prabang: Day 1”

Chiang Mai: Day 7
It’s our final day in Chiang Mai and I can’t say I’m glad to be leaving. Don’t get me wrong; I’m excited for everything that comes next, but Chiang Mai has been a dream. Our guesthouse is lovely, literally every single meal we have eaten has been incredible, and everyone has been so nice andContinue reading “Chiang Mai: Day 7”
Chiang Mai: Day 6
Aaron and I are both starting to “need a vacation from our vacation.” I know; I hate me for saying it, too. But it’s been very go go go and there hasn’t been a ton of downtime. Not to mention the fact that I’m pretty sure I’m getting a stomach ulcer from all the spiceContinue reading “Chiang Mai: Day 6”
Chiang Mai: Day 5
Our exotic lunch, unsurprisingly, did not sit well with my stomach. I was already carsick from the incessant veers in the mountain pass, but now it was taking the full force of my will to hold it together. I stuck with the views from the front and took deep, centering breaths all the way toContinue reading “Chiang Mai: Day 5”
Chiang Mai: Day 4
After our visit to the jungle temple of Wat Pha Lat, it was time to go to the top of Doi Suthep and visit its main attraction: Wat Phra That Doi Suthep. We shared a rot daang with a friendly, young couple from Mexico City who were also on honeymoon, and compared notes about ourContinue reading “Chiang Mai: Day 4”
Chiang Mai: Day 3
My second rot daang negotiation went much more smoothly, thanks to googling the fair price and remembering to counter below where we wanted to end up. For those of you who are wondering why I, a westerner with money to spare, am haggling with these drivers and vendors: everything I have read have said itContinue reading “Chiang Mai: Day 3”
