So after the waterfall adventure we headed another 6 hours north to Ayutthaya were we stayed in a guesthouse called Sabaidee guest house which was really nice, we got there quite late so we more or less went straight to bed, the next day we had a massive lie in until about 2 and then went to the local supermarket called the big C, we asked at reception for them to call us a tuk tuk and when it came it was basically a motorbike with a big backet attached to the front to sit in, we thought it was great and was a great way to get to the shop...after we got what we needed the same guy came and picked us up and took us to the night market which wasnt open but he had told us of a good bar to go to so we went to 'chopper bar' which was really nice and we are pretty sure there were Thai mafia bosses in there doing some sort of deal so it was pretty exciting and we saw the most amount of police on the street then we have the whole trip driving past the bar so there was definetly some s*** going down!!
The next day was the last leg of travelling to Chang Mai, we went on a really old 'only thai people' coach which wasnt the most comfy for luke having longer legs on a Thia coach but we stopped off a few times so it was ok, we finally arrived ay B.M.P residence and met the girls Laura and Sarah who we had met previously and we went out in the town we were very suprised to how quite Chang Mai was but we found a cool little place called 'THC ROOFTOP BAR' which was very hippy like where you sit on the floor listening to reggae and all of the walls were splattered in neon paint we loved it there, after a feew drinks we walked over to the square and there were people chilling out and playing drums, but all i was interested in was the bikes, all of the thai teenagers had stunt bikes so i grabbed one and the next thing luke knows im riding past on a bike!! then Laura jumped on one and the Sarah and Luke did as well...it was a great night but did end early due to a large mcdonalds.
The day after we went to the cobra show (pics to come) and to the monkey show, the cobra place was pretty piss poor with snakes in boxs that you couldnt see inside because the window was so dirty it was the nicest of places at all but we were told thats where rambo was filmed so we wanted to go...the show itself was really good, very intimate as there were only 4 people in the audience and we were 2 of them so we had snakes pretty much thrown at us...scary stuff!!! after that our lift came and he has taking some canadian guys we had met to the monkey show, so we thought we may as well tag along as we were there already...it was a funny show although very sad as all of the monkeys were tied up which in the UK would never happen but here its completely acceptable because people have got to make money we are not for it but we are for people earning a living which we never thought (especially me) would say that but that apart of me that changed since being here and learing how nice these people are and they believe in taking care of animals here. On this night we went to the night market and went shopping which was awsome, we got some pretty cool gear so we are pretty much kitted out now for a few months.
The next day we chilled out round the pool not really doing alot we had booked tickets for the Mauy Thai, the one we went to was just a massive tourist trap! there were now Thai people in there so strainght away we new it was going to be any good and it was really, Luke was really disapointed....the best part was when 5 fighters got in the ring and were then blind folded and had to fight each other, there was a referee in the ring with them that kept getting hit so he kicked one in the chest and he went flying, we guessed that he was the real Mauy thai fighter!! so ye it was basically a fix but we had a good night we went there with Manuel from Germany, Tom and Dee from London and Micheal and Clay from Brisbane, Luke and Micheal got on really well as mike does MMA at home so we are going to meet him on oz and hes going to take Luke to a training lesson.
So thats it for now guys im pretty tired, will have a jungle update asap and we hope you like the video!! Lukes going get on the next one in the next few days :)
