Village name Hi, I saw your blog just before we did The Loop and so asked the name of the first village north of Na Kai, and was told that it is Khun Kam. Hope this is the one you remember and it's not too late!
Cheers, Nick.
The Loop I am sorry, but I don't know the name. There are not very good maps of that area we found. I am going to suggest to Lonely Planet to add a detailed map of the Loop and its surrounding villages. Sometimes we didn't even know where we were or would be heading towards a particular town and pass through without knowing it, haha. If I found out the name, I'll let you know. E
A question about one of the town along the loop. I did the loop at the end of May 2007, and I stayed at a village whose name I forgot. Its the first village north of Na Kai. You would have gone through it just before entering Na Kai, after which you turn west heading back to Thakaek. If you know the name of it I would be seriously thankful. i stayed the night in someones house there and have part of their address but am not sure about the village's name. I too had a great time, if anyone knows please let me know.
Way to go, girl!! Each time I read your Blog, I can't help but think "Granny would love this!!" She would probably get someone with a puter to come and show her your fantastic pics and words. I feel I am right there with you. This session stuck out somehow. You do have the gift! Love
Bravo Em! Emily,
I saw your mom about a month ago and she told me about your traveling the world...Good for you,girl! Your first blog is amazing and I look forward to traveling with you from my computer chair! Would love to see some pictures with YOU in it too....take care and embrace your freedom and sense of adventure....it's a wonderful gift. I'm going to send this to the kids,too...hope you remember me. Love,Mrs. Gaffos, Kathy, or whatever!
U.S. Army, Retired It has been a number of years since I've seen these monster jars. I was with the Hmong and Lao during the war when they were fighting the North Vietnamese Army as they raided into Lao. Of course, no one knew where the jars came from. They were there long before the Lao, Hmong and other ethnic groups arrived in Lao.
Great pictures.
My journalistic Daughter Emily, I love the text that goes along with your pictures, it is so poetic. Please keep the pictures and information coming. Every single day I go to your website to see if there is something new. I love being able to see pictures of you. I love you, miss you, envy you; you scare me to death at times. Love, Your Mamma Dramma
Amazing! Emmy - Your mom told me how to find your journal and pictures and I'm just in awe. Keep up the good work. I'm enjoying completely following your travels.
AKA tia Hello honey, your blog is great, I love the elephant lounge, and you and Mr. Chart, hows do you remember everything, was it hot sweetheart? When are coming home, I hope for Christmas? Please tell me about the food, and the most interesting thing you have done, also if you see any of those all glass bangle braclets please get Tia a few? I lov e you so much, and miss you. Have a great trip, and please be careful! I love you Tia
I love your journal! Emmy - I LOVE IT! It is so enjoyable to read. I just scrolled from one journal to the next one. These trips of yours seem so different from my trips to Vienna, Salzburg, Zermatt, Venice and Rome. I guess we run in different circles -I have to have my creature comforts. Send more. Love, Daddy
Vicarious Mother Thanks you for the text and pictures. While reading your entire blog, I did not want it to end. If you can wash an elephant in the river, how come I could never get you to wash the car in the driveway$#! Please take more pictures and provide more text. The snake thing was creepy and scary. I checked your bank account, and if you need more funds, I could spare a little. What an education. Bravo to the world traveler. Lots of Love from South Carolina and your family
Hi Hi Emmy, I am so glad that you finally set this up, however, I still accept personal emails. Love the pics and I am glad to see you in them. I miss you. When are you coming back for a visit? XOXO.
WOW!!!!! Unreal!! I have to agree your photos are beautiful. Keep up the good work. I am so envious, you have made up my mind for when I come back. It won't be as a teacher, time for me to get back to being a tourist. Can't wait for the next lot of news and photos from your adventure.
Keep having fun! Love ya. xxx:)
Well done!! Congrats on getting the blog up and going Em, you're first entry is fantastic! This is going to be like geography lesson for me too!! Did you take those pics or can you select them from an on-line catalogue? They're great! I'm still into phototgraphy and just recently bought a small digital, my manual SLR is sometimes too big.. Hope you're having fun and look forward to reading your next entry!! X X
woahhh Emmy! Please update this all the time. I loved reading this entry and wanna know what youre going to be doing- the photos are beautiful. Keep it up. Love belle.
After several attempts, I finally have my very first travel blog up and running. Just in time for my two and a half month jaunt around northern Thailand, Laos and who knows maybe even Cambodia. So, friends and fam, be prepared for some magazine-esque photography and tales of adventure from the Mekong. Happy travels! (oh, wait, that’s for me) Much love, Emily ... full info
