Thailand is one of the key hubs for travelling in Asia. The size of the country catches so many people out. Plan your trip ahead if you can to ensure that you are getting the most out of your time there, whether on the islands in the south or the cooler north. We hope you enjoy our guides.
If you have know something about Thailand that we've not got written and you think we should share it, then how about reciprocating this information sharing and helping us on our travels? Either email us info@TheLeapingLemur.com or simply leave a comment below in this box or on the relevant page.
Thanks,

Travel Guides
Over 1,000 downloads of "A travellers Guide to Myanmar".
We've had over 27,000 hits in just 7 months! For some, that's nothing, for the charities we support, approx. 2% of our visitors visit on.Which means all of our hard work is worth it.
Looks like we'll be publishing an update to "A Travellers Guide to Myanmar" in September ready for the new season. And already we have Peter and Anne from Balmain, Sydney Australia on board to give us updates for their pending trip in October.
So we have "Fish out of Water" and "Powered by Noodles" and now "Cool for Cats" set to update us in Myanmar. Can you get any more up-to-date?
