Two weeks of Bangkok-ian adventures to fill you in on now (no excuses for lack of blog action the last week as had minimal work to do, so it's ok to put it down to sheer laziness!) So going back in time a few weeks... (*time machine noises*)... on Friday 27th I skipped out of school, did a quick detour to mine to pick up my overnight bag and pink neon shades, and hopped onto the van with Kat, with sticky rice and curry puffs for sustenance. We thought we'd make ...

This weekend wasn't quite so exciting as some, primarily because it started at 6.30am on Saturday morning when I woke up to go to work. Yes, you read right, work... on a Saturday, which we were told we wouldn't get paid for. It shouldn't really have been dubbed 'English Camp' seeing as we weren't actually staying overnight, it was just a day thing at the nearby Paradise Resort.

Whatever the occasion, I'm always happy for a day off work, so decided to go North to Sukhothai, one of the ancient capitals of Thailand which is crammed full of ruined wats (temples). Saturda...

My chocka-block weekend in Kanchanaburi was the week before last now, but this it the first chance I've had to actually sit down (in an internet cafe with huge squishy first class style aeroplane seats AND 60p smoothies!) and write about it. The last ten days or so have been pretty hectic as am covering lots of extra classes for an absent teacher; I do have a job to do in between my weekendly jaunts don't forget! So my weekend in Kanchanaburi was pretty last min...
