  • We had to return to Thailand to pick up my trusty sidekick to join me and ‪@baldandbankrupt‬ on our sweaty asian adventure! However after we tried to continue our journey we soon realised the flights to Laos were crazy expensive! So there was only one option left...the $10 sleeper train!
    It left the station in Bangkok and headed to the Laos border for 14 hours on Thailand's 3rd class ticket, we were in for a brutal night!

      Not sure if you'd say the same if you tried the first class on Indian trains. Only costs about $50 for a journey of thousands of kilometers but is way cleaner and more comfy than even Amtrak. Food is top notch too. The one that Ben and Bald took probably cost about $5. Most people only choose that for shorter distances

    On a serious note, as a photographer, when you two were having lunch on the river, that scene with the man and the boat out there would have made a very nice photograph! I'm guessing you only travel with the camera on your phone? Seeing Laos through you, I can honestly say that of the places that you travel that I absolutely would never go, Laos, actually looks like a place that would be appealing, other than the oppressive heat and language barrier.
