718 steps to a temple

It rained most of the morning so we chilled in the room a little restless having not done or achieved much in the last couple of days... At about 12pm the rain finally stopped and feeling better all the time, we headed back to the local bakers for lunch. Charly still recovering had a, no you...

Still recovering...

Nursing a slight hangover and with Charly still recovering we had a day of doing absolutely nothing. We made it as far a 7-11 to buy some yoghurt, cheese, and Gatorade – essential recovery ingredients - and got some bread from a local baker to make cheese sarnies. We watched some...

A very surreal day and night spent with some drunkeds

Charly had a bad night with upset stomach and in the morning was still bad. I was a little rough but my consistency is a tad stronger, must be all the beers and chilli I eat that kill everything. After nursing her for a while, she told me to go for a wander and I did, heading along...

Hitchhikers guide to Thailand

Moving on is something that we are quite accustomed to now, after a year of travelling it’s one of the constants. Unbeknown to us this was going to be yet another interesting journey…………. We set off for the bus station by Tuk-tuk, it wasn’t far, but 2km with backpacks and the humidity of...

Last day and night in Chiang Mai

We decided today would be our last day in Chiang Mai. The main thing to do here is to go on one or more organised tours but we haven’t exactly heard many positive things about them. Firstly, they are far too pricey; geared mainly for package tours but there is one, which did in fact sound...

Chiang Mai invaded by tourists

Another day of walking about Chiang Mai, possibly seeing more tourists than locals… Also, another thing we’ve noticed is how many temples there are here for one city?! Chris guesses about 50. I gave up counting and taking photos of them. Good day though; just uneventful to write...

Exhausted us

After a 16 hours train journey, we arrived in Chang Mai only 2 ½ hours late, but as it was still morning it didn’t matter. We had already booked somewhere to stay, C.M Blue House so we had made our lives pretty easy, so it was just a tuk tuk ride away. It’s actually a really nice room for the...

Day 366 of our travels

We had to check out at 12pm today and as our train wasn’t due to depart until 6:10pm we had a lot of hanging about to do with our bags until then. So we decided to make a brief stop-off at an internet café to search for some accommodation in Chang Mai, but a heavy downpour of rain, so heavy you...

Another day sweating in Bangkok

And again we walked around Bangkok soon becoming exhausted by walking for so long in this heat and humidity and we realised that we have in fact covered a lot of ground in the past few days, ticking off many of the main tourist sights and things to do. (Even if it meant just...

Crazy Asia

As there is just so much to see in Bangkok so we again went for a walk around, first catching the underground into China Town where we walked around and around in circles, well so it felt anyway. Then we walked to the India quarter and it was amazing just how much it did resemble India. In...
