Woensdag 1 oktober 2008. Laos - Luang Prabang. Ladies and gentlemen,. As I promised a very good friend of mine this post will be in english so he can read along as well. So here we go. As of today I'm traveling alone, my companion Tina had to go home because of medical reasons and I bet she's waiting in Bangkok for her flight home right now. Tina it was nice traveling with you, get well soon and don't forget to peek around here once in a while. A littlebit over halfway we finally got those brakes fixed.

Hans in Laos: oktober 2008
http://hansopreis.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Dinsdag 21 oktober 2008. Bangkok and the Tiger temple in Kanchanaburi. With pain in my heart I left Laos and the nice people that I've met there, so a very big hug to Femke, Dave, Jules, Heather and Jo. Around 5pm I landed in Bangkok and hurried to Khaosan road (the backpackers center) to find a suitable guesthouse and to book a trip to the tiger tempel in Kanchanaburi for the next day before the office closed. More info on http:/ www.tigertemple.org/Eng/index.php. To my darling girlfriend; one day I'll ...

Hans in Laos: september 2008
http://hansopreis.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Maandag 29 september 2008. Laos - Vang Vieng. Na een wel heel bumpy ride van om en bij 3 uren zijn we vandaag toegekomen in Vang Vieng en ik moet grif toegeven dat ik overweldigd ben. Niet alleen door het prachtige landschap maar tevens doordat ik nu eindelijk het gevoel krijg om kennis te maken met het echte Laotiaanse leven. Wanneer de school uit is gaan al deze kinderen met een emmertje met zeep en een handdoek richting rivier om zich te wassen, te zwemmen en natuurlijk te spelen. Na verdomd veel vert...

Hans in Laos: With the slowboat from Huay Xay to Luang Prabang
http://hansopreis.blogspot.com/2008/10/with-slowboat-from-huay-xay-to-luang.html
Zaterdag 18 oktober 2008. With the slowboat from Huay Xay to Luang Prabang. After our nice experience in the Gibbon experience, Jules and Heather decided to go to Luang Nam Tha and Femke, Dave and myself 'd take the slowboat back to Luang Prabang. This trip 'd take 2 days with a nightover stop in Pak Beng. As we were the first to arrive at the pier, we were certain of good seats, luckily ;D. After we found a guesthouse in Pak Beng we all had dinner together in a nice Indian restaurant. After a good showe...

Hans in Laos: Laos - Luang Prabang continued
http://hansopreis.blogspot.com/2008/10/laos-luang-prabang-continued.html
Donderdag 2 oktober 2008. Laos - Luang Prabang continued. What have I done today? Well actually I've been extremely lazy today. Woke up early, watched a shitty movie while I read my book, took a shower and finally left the building around 10 am. At first I felt guilty about it but then I thought; Hey it's your holiday man, you can do what you want. Ease up a little and enjoy your laziness while you still can. This town is so beautiful, no wonder it's a UNESCO site. As a matter of fact they dislike work a...

Hans in Laos: Luang Nam Tha
http://hansopreis.blogspot.com/2008/10/luang-nam-tha.html
Maandag 6 oktober 2008. Not so much news yet at the moment, just arrived here in Luang Nam Tha after 10hrs in a bus and my ass really hurts! But tomorrow I leave on a 3day trekking in the local nature reserve; huffing and puffing, crossing the jungle, sleeping in tents, burning leeches of my legs, whacking our way through the jungle with machetes and lots of other stuff. Yeah, I'm already starting to feel a little bit like Rambo yet ;D. Big hugs and lots of love for you all. Your bushman in spe ;D. Abonn...

Hans in Laos: Luang Prabang - Elephants
http://hansopreis.blogspot.com/2008/10/luang-prabang-elephants.html
Zaterdag 4 oktober 2008. Luang Prabang - Elephants. Today I finally went to visit one of the elephant projects around Luang Prabang. I booked a tour for a 2hr ride through the jungle on top of one of these massive beasts and afterwards I could join in their daily bathing. The jungle tour was cool but nothing compared to the bathing where I could actually sit in the brutes neck and help scrubbing him down, that was awesome! And that was awesome as well of course or what do you think? Waren we nu ook maar.

Hans in Laos: Huay Xai
http://hansopreis.blogspot.com/2008/10/huay-xai.html
Zondag 12 oktober 2008. I just arrived in Huay Xay today, a little town lying at the Mekong river and the Thai/Laos border. Actually there's nothing much to see in this town but close by there is the Bokeo nature reserve where I'll spend some days, starting tomorrow. More info on www.gibbonx.org. It's a eco project to preserve the forest and keep the local people from destroying it in their agricultural slash and burn ways. Big hugs and keep reading and posting those nice replies. 12 oktober 2008 22:08.

Hans in Laos: Gibbon Experience
http://hansopreis.blogspot.com/2008/10/gibbon-experience.html
Zaterdag 18 oktober 2008. Well I had great fun ;D. After a couple of hours driving we arrived in the Bokeo Natural reserve. We split up in 2 groups of 5 people (I was in a group with Dave, Femke, Jules and Heather) and started our first trek of about 3 to 4 hours. Some hours later we arrived at our treehouse and we could start the really fun part.zipping. So we zipped the rest of the day from valley to valley and back to the treehouse. We also visited a waterfall to have a cool swim. To keep things short...
