Exit Plans

I think we’ve been here a little too long; the heat is starting to get to me. Either that or with all this food we’re eating (amazing Lao, Thai, French, and Indian) I’ve gained back my winter coat and the 100+ degree weather is wearing a little thin. Oh well, we’ve had a good five days or so, and tomorrow it’s time to move on. We’ve booked tickets direct from Luang Prabang to Bangkok. This is a new international route offered by the reputable Bangkok Airways, and not the internationally infamously dangerous Lao Aviation.

Tomorrow evening we’ll be back in the hustle and bustle, taking a little time to finish up a few errands in Thailand and then off for one last adventure. Our next (and final) trip is going to be to Thailand’s rarely travelled northeastern provinces, near the Cambodian border. We’re going to visit Phanom Rung Historical Park, which supposedly has the best preserved and restored Khmer (Angkor style) ruins in Thailand. We’re going to take an early morning train from Bangkok on the 28th and then head back the day before we fly out on the 30th. I can’t believe we’re so close to the end!
