After spending three days in Bangkok and seing Santa Clauses all over the place I have to get out of town. I am missing the mountains so I am leaving for Chiang Mai for some rock climbing and then heading towards Laos and Vietnam. I am not sure about the details yet but probably will go to Chiang Rai, Xuay Xai, taking a boat lift to Luang Prabang, doing some more climbing there and at Vang Vieng and flying from Vientiane to Hanoi, spending some days around there. On Dec 5th I will fly down to Krabi/Phi Phi where I will stay just before Christmas.
