We take a two day, one night tour around Halong Bay. Apart from taking in the sights, we also partake in a Vietnamese cooking class.

Also we narrowly avoid losing our souls to terrifying fish.

We explore the city of Hanoi in Vietnam by attending night markets and water puppet theatre, marvelling at the truly insane traffic and sampling traditional Vietnamese cuisine.

Also, one of us almost loses an eye.

Here Comes The Planet 03 – Koh Phangan to Koh Samui

by Thorn

After some Thailand word association at Mae Haad, it’s time to head to Koh Samui to check in at the infamous Ark Bar on Chaweng Beach.

While we were there, we also caught the ladyboy cabaret show at Starz. I got picked to go onstage, along with my sister’s boyfriend. Thankfully, I was the only person in our group who had a camera on them, and that came backstage with me when I was picked. No footage of our performance will ever see the light of day. 😉
