Onwards towards Laos


This was taken in Prachuap Kiri Khan of the East coast of Thailand as we headed up towards Bangkok. It was atop a temple that was crawling with monkeys, one of which proceeded to rob me! (fortunately it was just my water!). Later that afternoon Tom and I walked along the beach to a small fishing village 5km away and ate some incredible shrimp.

This was taken in Ayuthaya, north of Bangkok. The town is completely surrounded by a river so forms and Island and is packed with temple complexes. We spent the day riding around on bicycles and exploring. We stumbled across the Grand Palace which contained this, the largest seated bronze Buddha in Thailand.


Iced Coffee. Nuff said.



This is a sculpture park in Nong Khai just over the Mekong from Laos. I didn't know what to expect but when we got there it was incredible. The larger sculptures were 15-20m tall and intricately carved. It was definately an unexpected highlight.
