This morning I had had enough of Thailand. I threw ALL my toys out the pram and had a proper tantrum. The last 24 hours have been pretty disastrous and I had reached my limit. Thankfully, after a couple of hours sleep I am feeling a little calmer but it was touch and go for a minute! It all started yesterday when we were waiting for our bus back to Bangkok from Kanchanaburi. Not only was the bus half an hour late, but when it arrived it was absolutely ja...

Quick final entry from Kanchanaburi, ahead of our bus back to Bangkok from where we will be catching the overnight bus up to Chiang Mai.....lovely! So yesterday we finally got to go on our trip, much to our relief! It was a long day, but a good one. First stop was the amazing Erawan National Park, to go to the Erawan Waterfall. It is basically one incredibly long waterfall, divided up into 7 main tiers that go for over 2 kilometres. We decided to head up...

Not so - the bus t...

Hello again from monsoony Bangkok!! Since I last updated, we have been inundanted with heavy monsoon rain, including a thunderstorm last night that woke us both up and convinced us that it was actually thundering and lightning inside our room! Yesterday we went off to visit the temples - and being good respectful little girls we had dressed appropriately, ie. proper shoes and trousers. Not only was this very hot, but once the rain had truly started it was ...

So, here we are in Thailand! We arrived here on Tuesday afternoon, after spending our last couple of days in Singapore shopping and going to the Zoo and Night Safari. We didn't actually manage to buy much while shopping, but wandering up and down Orchard Road was fun enough to make up for it! The Zoo and particularly the Night Safari were excellent, although it was a very long day as we went for a river trip on a bumboat before we left and didn't get back from...
