The people are friendly, helpsome and nice and I've been feeling safe while travelling! They are hard working people trying to earn there living. Thailand is the richest and Laos the poorest!
There are a lot of dirt everywhere and when people are struggling to survive, cleaning is not important. I noticed especially today that when people start owning they start to protect there house and things!
I've seen how people are living in those countries and as I wrote earlier its like going back maybe more then 100 years in Sweden when we were living on that standard!!! Especially out in the countryside, not in general in the big cities.
The most people travelling around in those countries are Asian, I would say about 80 %. But in Hua Hin there are so many Scandinavian tourist, but they were rare in the other places.
It's been a very interesting journey, travelling by train, bus and boat and meeting all those wonderful people!
Being a Layman for 8 days in a Buddhist Monastry was very interesting - to follow the Monks routins and learn about buddhism and doing a lot of meditation - and not the least, cutting myself out from the hectic world by not using mobile or other wordly devices!
Angor Wat is a wonderful place on earth - so huge and so beautiful.
The world heritage site - Luang Prabang old town - such a laydback and beatiful place. I could easily spend some winter months at this place! There are also such beautiful surroundings.
Meeting all the people along the trip - very rewarding.
I would also say that it's been quite easy to travel - I mean to find information about were to go and what to do and how to get there. Lonely Planet is a great source, but the local people and the traveller are equally important to find the best way of travelling.
Tomorrow I'll take the train back to Bangkok and it takes the whole afternoon and early in the morning on Sunday I will go to the AirPort to fly home!
Thanks to all who have followed my blog!
