I’m happy to announce that my blog from my recent trip to Myanmar (aka Burma) with short stops either side in Thailand and Hong Kong is finally online after some delays. As explained on this site I write up my blog in note format and then take time to write […]

Thoughts from Myanmar
Now that I’ve been back in the UK for a few days, and have started re-adjusting to UK time, I’ve had a chance to reflect on my trip to Myanmar. I had wanted to visit Myanmar, also known as Burma, for a while. There are a few things that drew […]
From Thailand to Hong Kong
I’ve arrived in Hong Kong and even though I’ve been here less than an hour I’m already impressed with the city. Everything just seems to work so fast and efficient compared to other places I’ve been in Asia and it’s a whole world away from Thailand where I started the […]
Charlie : Phuket, Thailand
Charlie has enjoyed his time in Thailand. Phuket is not the sort of place that has ever interested me, as most people come here for the nightlife and the sterile beaches, but I did my best to get away from these and see some of the local culture. Before travelling […]
A day in Phuket Town
I’m back in my room after an exhausting day exploring Phuket Town but it has been worthwhile and I’ve seen a lot of things. This morning I had breakfast on the roof terrace at the hotel. The food itself was average but the view was really nice and you could […]
Back to Thailand

Crossing into Myanmar
It has been a very long day today but it has mainly been an administrative day and we haven’t covered much distance. Tonight is the first night I’ll be on board the boat that Intrepid are using for the trip and it seems nice so far. The bedroom I’ll be […]
Heading north towards Myanmar
Tomorrow we cross into Myanmar to start the sailing portion of the trip but I had a good day today as I had a chance to meet the rest of the group and to see the real Thailand compared to the tourist hell of Phuket. After checking out of my […]
A day in Karon
I’ve just got back to my room after chatting to a couple of the others from the group and they seem nice people so far but there are still a few more people to meet tomorrow morning. There was a bit of an issue tonight, however, as the person that […]
Thailand bound
I’ve arrived in Thailand and am loving the temperature and prices here already. Back in the UK at the moment it’s freezing cold, windy, foggy and expensive but it’s in the mid 30’s here and everything is so cheap. It has been a long journey to get this far, however. […]
