Southeast Asia, Winter, 2016

Here is a collection of photos taken in Vietnam, Laos and Thailand during the winter of 2016. We bicycled a few hundred miles of a route from Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) to Hanoi, Vietnam. From there we bicycled west through Dien Bien Phu and into Laos to Luang Prabang. Along the way we encountered people from many different hill tribes. Later we visited northern Thailand around Mae Hong Son and Chiang Mai, exploring the forests and temples. From there we headed south to Phuket and visited Khao Sok National Park for more wildlife viewing. Look for more details on our blog at "Vietnam, Looking to the Future", "Where the Dragon Descends into the Sea", "Encounters with the "Highland People" of Vietnam", "Kingdom of a Million Elephants" , "Mae Hong Son - The Land of Three Mists" and "Khao Sok - "The Light of the Kingdom" ".
