Kuang Si waterfall near Luang Prabang in Northern Laos is set in lush forest 30 km south of Luang Prabang, Laos. Confusingly the name can also be spelt Kouang Si waterfall  (seen written on signs locally) Kuang Xi or Tat Kuang Si. The temperature in Luang Prabang during our visit in early April was 42 …

Asia is a fascinating and at times chaotic continent to visit. It often feels necessary to take a step back from the noise and crowds and find somewhere peaceful to reflect on the travel experience and rejuvenate your soul. A place where you can sit by a mighty slow river, sip a mighty long drink …

Luckily the driver and fellow passenger on our Luang Prabang Mekong River Cruise had Thai as a common language.   With the passenger in the driver’s seat and the driver bent over the broken engine at the rear of the boat, adjustments were made and instructions called to turn the key at the appropriate time.  …

Every morning we walked the few steps from Manichan Guesthouse in the historic centre of Luang Prabang to the corner where the morning food market was in full swing.  The corner ruled by this rooster.  He had a real vibrancy about him, both in colour and voice.  I wonder if he was a fighting cock? …

The historic district of LUANG PRABANG IN LAOS, sits on a high headland overlooking the meeting of the timeless Mekong and its younger sibling the Nam Khan.  At first we had dreamed of entering the Land of a Million Elephants via Thailand, spending two leisurely long days on the Mekong, floating downstream from Huay Xai to …

My home town sits wedged between the ocean and a river.  On my daily walk along the beach, I look past a jetty, purpose built for fishermen and beyond to a tropical island.  When we travel I am drawn to river trips to explore caves, or snorkeling forays into the ocean.  My photographic files overflow …

Even though we knew we had to be in position by 6 a.m. to see Tak Bat, (the monks receiving alms from the public), we managed to arrive late.  This gave us an unconventional view of the early morning ritual – that of following along behind the monks – and they set a mean pace …
