  • They’re changing the guard at Buckingham Palace upgrading something with the electrical utilities in the area, street by street, and this morning was the turn of the street the hostel is on, so we had no power between 0900 &…

  • I hadn’t heard noticed initially, but my cough got a whole lot better when I got here, which might be because of air quality? Less vehicles, maybe. Anyway, the air is clearer, as are my airways. Breakfast from the place…

  • Yeah, that one was weak. My review of the night bus to Chiang Mai is “probably don’t”. Got into CM even earlier than I expected, at 5:30 or so, and ran into the problem that almost nothing, including the hostel…

  • Probably my earliest start of Thailand today, mostly because I set an alarm to make sure I wasn’t packing in a hurry. The hostel had a very relaxed attitude to people hanging out after checkout, and a bag store, so…

  • I’m aware that the really image heavy posts aren’t loading properly; I’ll divide them up more, into maybe 15-20 images per post, to see if it helps, because I think it’s the number of images that’s causing WordPress some issues…

  • Felt like I spent the night, those bits I remember waking up for, coughing my lungs out. The original plan for the day had been to rent a bike & go back out to Angkor, but that’s about 7km each…
