Maria & George's Travels: Vignettes of our adventures

Koh Chang and Koh Mak

Sun, sand and sex. That’s what most people think about when they think of Thailand’s islands. We decided to find out for ourselves by visiting the islands of Koh Chang and Koh Mak.

Laos

Laos is the world’s most-bombed country. Tens of millions of bombs remain undetonated today, and continue to kill. Despite that grim history the people and country are delightful.

Chiang Rai

Chiang Rai is a sleepy town in Northern Thailand close to the borders of Laos and Myanmar. We braved chilly temperatures to cycle and tour the city and its colourful temples.
