"Touring Indochina.."
In and around Asia
We're now getting back into tour mode for the last half of our 6 month tour. On Monday we left the lovely Japan and hit Thailand about 9 hours later after a couple of airline changes. Back to GAP and the convenience of someone else booking tickets, attractions, flights, trains etc for you - pure bliss!
