Day Twenty-Three.

This is my travel buddy for the next 18 days (the one on the left of course). Because of Chinese New Year, we have three weeks off work so my coworker and I are headed down south. Our plan is to start in Bangkok and then travel over to Laos where we will head north and then ultimately head west to Thailand to Chiang Mai. It's been a year since I've been to southeast Asia and I'm excited to go back to Thailand and to visit a new country. I have a friend living in Laos who I haven't seen for more than two years so it will be really good to see her again and catch up.
