Travel photos and journals from across Asia
It was time to get back on the road so we hired a car (Honda Jazz this time) for a few days, bid our farewells to our hosts at Homestay Chiang Rai and headed east towards the Laos border. Our final destination was the Phu Chi Fa viewpoint but we…

It was time to leave Chiang Mai and head north, we’d booked a VIP bus to Chiang Rai for the following morning, costing 270 baht each for the 3 hour journey. Buses have improved a lot since I last took one in Thailand (which is well over ten years ago),…

I’d always wanted to visit Hong Kong but never envisaged I’d be going there on a business trip. The airport is like a city in itself, complete with railways and all the amenities … very efficient, a taxi into town stings at $HK340 – I’ll take the train next time!…
