  • Khao Lak and Bangkok

    We reunited in Bangkok on the 17th of May where we spent three nights staying at the Ibis Bangkok Sukhumvit 4. We have stayed there regularly as it is a great location and meets our needs: a comfortable bed, cold air conditioning and a hot shower. Bernii has also reached platinum status in the Accor…

  • As we mentioned in last week’s post, we crossed the border from Thailand to Laos. The process of crossing the border was fairly easy as we already had our e-visas.
