I went to the Laos embassy and paid for a visa that was put into my Zimbabwe passport. I withdrew $1200 to have cash on me and printed out my statement with $16k in my UK bank account...

I showed my onwards ticket, and hotel bookings everything... this would have been my 29th country...

I exited immigration from Cambodia and entered Laos... and then they denied me because of the passport... only.

But, it's all good. I love this adventure and all the cool experiences I've had and lovely people I've met. I'm not sure where I'm going to next.

Thailand, Vietnam and Laos denied me entry. I might return to Phu Quoc, Malaysia, the Philippines where I have already been or gonto Hong Kong but flights are so expensive these days especially flying on the day.

Wishing everyone happy and safe travels... all the best...
