The Elephant parade in Bangkok, 'Elephant Parade' is committed to raising funds to make a difference and to help save elephants (African and Asian). Started in Amsterdam in 2007 and still going on. For more information, upcoming events and getting involved look here.
Out of town, the Pakse busstation. Laos 2004. Lovely way to travel and meet people. Going to Champasak or the 4000 islands you can go from there, the '8 km bus terminal'. A lot changed since 2004, as all guesthouses now offer (VIP)bustickets. To get to the 8 km terminal you'll need a tuktuk-ride.
