Feel free to have a look at some of the pictures I took in India last September. They are now available in the ‘Photographs’ section of the website.

There are now links to all of my pictures from Laos in the ‘Photographs’ section.
The Plain of Jars is one of the most talked about prehistoric sites in all of South East Asia. Tourists come from far and wide to explore, predominantly the main three sites, of this mysterious and rather beautiful ancient burial ground. Phonsavan, the nearest town to the sites that offers reasonable accommodation, is a bare and dusty place that is testament to the sheer strife of the NGOs who face the unimaginable feet of clearing the surrounding area of unexploded ordinance.
As well as visiting Sites One, Two and Three of the P.O.J, I spent one evening at the Mines Awareness Group headquarters in Phonsavan. Check out their website for more information concerning the project: http://www.maginternational.org/
Some pictures from Luang Prabang, Laos.
I took these back in October as we began making our way further towards the Southern end of the country. I have made my admiration for Laos abundant in previous posts and as I find myself once again only a few kilometres from Vientiane on the Thai side of the border, I recall just how incredible my time there was.
The journey from Mong Khua to Nong Kiau by boat was one of the most remarkable experiences in Asia so far. Our vessel travelled down the Nam Ou river towards Luang Prabang from Phongsali, allowing for incredible views of the banks on either side. The trip also allowed for a one night stop over in Mong Khua and a two day break in Nong Kiau, which was an absolute delight.
Laos is a dazzling country of contrasts. The experience I had there throughout October this year was truly remarkable and I have just finished putting together a series of photograph albums that document he different stages of my journey there. I hope to be able to post these frequently on Tsaiho, but an occasional lack of Internet connection combined with a host of various other distractions as I continue on my adventure across Asia has led to a massive backlog of thoughts and images I wish to share.
The first album is from Luang Nam Tha, a peaceful settlement nestled among a gorgeousness of lush green mountains in the North West of the country.
I am currently writing from Vietnam, which is by no means as tranquil as Laos, but is certainly equally as fascinating.
My final destination in India, at least this time around. As I have mentioned before, I found India to be a fascinating, difficult and tiring country with so much to see and explore. I look forward to going back one day and visiting areas North of Delhi.
Pictures from the Thar Desert city of Jaisalmer. These were taken during the three days I spent there before moving further East to Bikaner.
