Twenty-seven days later and our trip around South East Asia has come to an end.... We were up at silly o clock this morning to get to the airport for half 6. We had a Burger King breakfast at the airport (our last traditional Asian meal!) and boarded the plane, which left a little late. We slept for the first 4 hours and watched a film for the last couple of hours. It sounds pretty uneventful, but I had a giant Arabic man sat next to me, who took up some of my ch...

We said goodbye to Chiang Mai this morning, although I'd really like to go back again to explore more of this lovely city. We arrived at Bangkok airport and jumped into a taxi, the traffic was horrendous! When we finally got to the Banyan Tree hotel, the taxi driver missed the entrance by about a foot, and despite us offering to walk, he insisted on driving all the way back around the ring road in the grid locked traffic. He also insisted on saying "Anyan Tree, A...

Last night was great! We ate at the Riverside restaurant, as recommended to us by our new Australian friend Kim. We shared starters and both had fillet steak with pepper sauce which came to £16 for both us! How cheap?? And it tasted amazing.....

We had a slow walk back to the hotel, through the mark...

So not much was done , just unpack then sleep..... We did have some plans in mind for the day but got up at 6am with nothing planned... We headed for breakfast which was average and spotted the tour and info desk.... So headed across and found a day tour to the Mea Ka River, to the north of Chiang Mai...

So..... Last night was ace! We went out for dinner in Chinatown, arriving by tuk tuk. I love that way of getting around town! We ended up in the Canton, and when we sat down, it was all bloody seafood again!! We weren't happy, but then the tour guide said that we could order any dish from the menu and swap the seafood for chicken or pork. It turned out to be good, although we weren't impressed with the lady mopping underneath our feet while we were eating! Si tri...
