Boat at Anchor in Halong Bay, Vietnam

Today's travel photo is of a boat at anchor in a sheltered cove in Halong Bay, Vietnam. I took this photo when we stopped to do some kayaking around some amazing limestone karst islands and secluded lagoons. I couldn't believe how calm and serene the water was here, and the turquoise colour of the water [...]

Kampong Cham: A Sleepy City on the Mekong

There was no evidence of the thunderstorm that had woken me up during the night. The sun was shining above me through a blue sky and the only clouds around were those nice white fluffy ones. I pushed my bicycle out onto the street and started slowly peddling along. To my left was the fast [...]

The Jungle Temple of Ta Som in Angkor, Cambodia

Continuing on with our exploration of the Temples of Angkor in Cambodia, we headed from the temple mountain of Eastern Mebon to Ta Som - another temple that I had never heard of but was suggested by our tuk tuk driver. It is these sort of places that end up being really great finds because [...]

Life in Chiang Mai

I’m sitting at my favourite beer spot in Chiang Mai. It’s Friday afternoon and I've spent the day typing away in my apartment, so it’s good to get out for some fresh air. I’m sitting out the front of the bar where I can look out over the street, chatting to my wife about our [...]

Coastal Walkway at Cape Bridgewater, Australia

Empty Street in Pakse, Laos

Today's travel photo is of a quiet, empty street in Pakse, Laos. Pakse is one of those places that is basically just a transit hub for travellers making their way around Southern Laos. There are a few things to do outside of town, but Pakse doesn't have a lot that keeps travellers there for long. [...]
