  1. Can I be the first to add a comment here... This is looking very good, very professional! Like the straight/italic idea! I used 'man in seat 61' for checking trains in Thailand, also found it very useful (although I've still not been on a train there but it's not his fault!... trains are rubbish!). Good luck and look forward to seeing how this develops... Mac x

    1. Cheers Mac! We love The Man in Seat 61. We will no doubt report on the trains in that part of the world. Didn't you get a cheap sleeper from Bangkok to Chiang Mai? Anyway thanks for the feedback - praise indeed from you! Still a work in progress but hopefully work done now will make it easier when we actually leave! I don't want it to be a chore and I really want a record of the whole trip. We'll catch up before we head off x

  2. Yes I had planned to take the overnight train from BKK (as us locals call it!) to CM (ditto), but the flooding scuppered that plan and when I did go there in January it was easier to take a bus as it left from my doorstep in Hua Hin and went directly to CM. Still want to get that train some day, maybe on the next trip...

  3. I'm sure you've thought of this already but just in case... don't forget to take your photo id card driving license. You will want to hire motor bikes throughout Asia as it's the best way to get about and great fun! (Don't be put off by people telling you how dangerous it is, it isn't really), and in Thailand it's a regular source of income for the police to stop you and fine you for not having a helmet/license etc. Motor bikes (or scooters as we call them) are dead cheap to hire (£4 a day or less) and give you complete freedom to explore everywhere... If the weather was better here I'd have one in the UK!

  4. As you know already, I'm extremely envious of you both and wish I could come with you (which I'm sure isn't reciprocated!). Would like to be able to impart some pearls of wisdom about Asia for you but when I leave England I usually turn left or right just a little bit. Think this site is a great idea and can't wait to follow you on your adventures. Congratulations on being made redundant Dawn, how lucky was that, in fact I will ring you now for a catch up. Wishing you both Bon voyage and Good luck!
