Just checked my blog and it seems that it's been a long time since I wrote. Guess I have been too busy all the time.

After the beach in Malaysia I ended up in Bankok for a day and a night. I noticed again that the world is very small because I bumped into someone I know from Austria, Thomas Tschofen for the Austrians (or Germans or whoever) reading this. Big coincidence to bump into each other on Khao San road. Off course that lead to the inevitable action of drinking too much beer!!!

The morning after my 'Anders Reizen' group arrived in Bangkok. Luckily I didn't have a hangover, guess the Thai beer isn't too bad :) For three weeks I lead the group through Laos, from South to North. I was spoiled by having a good first group. Easy people, no whining, good times, etc. I guess I did a good job cause noone complained. Sometimes it was a bit hard because I hadn't received all that much information, the weather was sometimes shit and because of a big ASEAN congress (something like a EU top) some of the plans had to be adjusted. We were actually very lucky because the day that we left Vientiane (the capital of Laos) they were going to close the city for all tourists.

Before I left on that trip to Laos the people from the travel company asked me if I would be able to guide another Laos trip at the end of December. After some considering I accepted so my plans are changed and I'll only be coming home on January 11th. Then strait aftet to Switzerland for a meeting and on to Austria.

Back to Thailand...... It's nice to be here cause in Northern Laos it was often quit echilly and here, as usual, it's hot. In about an hour I'll be taking a bus down South to go to Ko Phangan for some beach time :) After that probably to Ko Tao for some diving and then on Christmas eve I'll take a night bus back to Bankok. Christms day I'll be in Bankok and normally I'll meet up with Thomas that day. On the 26th my next group will arrive.

Everyone, take care on whatever cold place you are right now. I'll probably write again on Christmas day, so Merry Christmas to all!!!
