After a long flight to Bangkok was a pleasure to land at the sunny small airport in Luang Prabang. This magnificent UNESCO world heritage is something that I wanted to visit and he did not disappoint. Small streets with, phuket
, wonderful colonial architecture, beautiful temples and restaurants, enough, phuket
, to eat a meal in a different place every day of the week. A real – and not just because I had a client – was the night market. None of the commands that you see in other markets like this, but a rec craft villages every night out along the main road.

A real pleasure, but does not mean that I'm more room in my bag! It remains to be addressed and worth the early start was to watch the monks walk the streets to collect alms. Although I have the feeling, phuket
, that, phuket
, some were not aware of the esteem in which Buddhist monks are held in Southeast Asia, and too intrusive with their cameras. Luang Prabang, I traveled the Mekong River in Chiang Rai. Two days watching the world go by – the Mekong offers a quiet and simple life, on the banks – and stopping in local villages along the route.

E 'was freezing in the morning and I had countless coats and blankets for the sun was high enough to take the chill out of the morning. We spent the night in a lodge on the banks of the river, where fresh local dinner, phuket
, was served with beer Lao numerous. And then half days relaxing on the boat before arriving in Chiang Lo, I am reminded how lucky I am to work on the move: waiting for me was an A / C 4×4 struggle for tents Four, phuket
, Seasons. Yes, it is expensive, but it is really surprising.

Permanent tents are scattered in the forest, with showers and large outdoor terraces. At breakfast the next morning (do not wear glamorous clothes in Dallas), I was welcomed by the younger elephants who were happy to receive guests enthusiasts alike. While he was out of my mahout morning course of training. Player Learning "an elephant is not something I aspired to do, but it was very funny. At least for me – I do not know how the elephants were grateful to me to climb on them, without thinking too much style and elegance.

The move to, phuket
, Chiang Mai and the Four Seasons, which is located just outside the city. Another crown jewel of this Four Seasons has long been a favorite of steppes and again does not disappoint. The next day I had the opportunity to stay in the relatively, phuket
, new and very stylish Chedi Chiang Mai, situated in, phuket
, the heart of the city is ideally situated for the night market (not just the night market of Luang Prabang but the ideal place to replace the broken glass): Some of the attractions outside of, phuket
, Chiang Mai were a bit 'spoiled by mass tourism, but with a bit' of knowledge and effort can elephants on the basis of the Thai Elephant Conservation Center and is also the reader to see the tribe in a village along the neck is a little, phuket
, Karon 'now or just outside, phuket
, the city, phuket
, .

A key benefit of completing a trip to Laos and northern Thailand, Chiang Mai is able to fly directly to Phuket in, phuket
, the south and from there to one of the outlying islands. I went to Sarojin The Chedi Phuket and Kao Lak – is a great pleasure for the end do!
