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

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.

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
