From A to B

18 days, 18 different modes of transport since I first put my backpack on. Though you might dispute one or two; technically, unarguably, undoubtedly - in my book - the mechanics of the movement of a person from point A to point B differ for each:

  1. Parambulate - out the front door to the waiting;
  2. Car - to the airport, care of Mum and Dad (thanks again!)
  3. Lift - at Heathrow to the correct floor
  4. Aeroplane - en route to Bangkok
  5. Moving walkway - around Bangkok airport as I'm just plain lazy
  6. Tuk-Tuk - mad Thai's driving us around Bangkok
  7. Escalator - around the hideous MBK shopping centre in Bangkok
  8. Elevated Railway - SkyTrain across Bangkok
  9. Bus - to Kanchanaburi
  10. Saamlaw - passenger in a three wheeled push bike around Kancahanburi
  11. Motorbike sidecar - more journey's around Kanchanaburi
  12. Train - overnight sleeper train up to Chiang Mai
  13. Bicycle - self powered touring around Ayuthaya
  14. Sawngthaew - bench on a pick up truck around Chiang Mai
  15. Elephant - down the river valley in Chiang Mai
  16. Bamboo raft - further down said valley
  17. Ferry - 2 day slow boat down the Mekong in Laos to Luang Prabang
  18. Swimming - across the rock pools of Kuang Si falls, Laos
