Hi folks,
Been a bit lax with posting while i've been in Laos, cos internet is slow & expensive. I spent a few more days in Vang Vieng, but somehow managed to escape - better than some of the people I met who'd planned to be there for a day or 4, and ended up staying for months...
Went from there, with a days canoeing, down to Vientiane (the capital of laos), where I spent the night before crossing over to Nong Khia, on the Thai side of the Mekong, and took the night train back to bangkok. Had a dramatic storm as I was tucked up in my little berth, which rocked - first rain I've seen since arriving, and it cleared the air a bit, which has been getting hotter over the last week or two.
Got a day to waste in bangkok, but I just bumped into someone I was travelling with in Laos, and she has a friend staying with business at a posh hotel, so a bit of living-it-up in the sauna may be in order.
Tomorrow morning I head south down to a small town called Chaiya, and spend the night there before heading to a templed called Wat Suanmokkh for 10 days of silence and meditation!
All that means I'm unlikely to post again until I get back to bangkok on the 12th of March.
Hope everyone's well,
Will.
Bangkok, Thailand.

You probably won't pick this up for a while - but if you do, yes we are all fine, and it sounds like the trip to laos was well worth it. You lucky sod! Have a nice time meditating....
Hello Will, you're traveling tales sound fantastic, hope you're enjoying yourself (sounds like it) Take care and keep up with the posts! Ben (Savage) Ps: I'm moving back to Manchester soon!
Hi Will,
Hope the meditation goes well - you have to let me know what being completely silent for 10 days is like as I am sure I am never likely to find out!! he he he!! :)
Take care and keep on enjoying the trip.
