In 2013 we used Bangkok as a base, flying from there to Myanmar and back, and then into Vietnam and back.

In 2011 we headed up to the Andaman Sea in the south of Thailand to revisit Ko Lanta Island where we had spent some memorable times almost 20 years earlier.

In 2007 we arrived in Bangkok and then worked our way through the northeast. It’s the less-travelled route, but I have no idea why. It’s definitely worth seeing and is a perfect gateway into Laos.

In 1993 we went to Thailand for the first time and spent six weeks travelling most of the tourist hot spots. It was also our first time in Asia but obviously not our last.
