Arrived in Chaing Mai today after two VERY long bus rides from Ko Samet & Bangkok! Had an amazing time on Ko Samet, which is a southern island. I lying it was actually quite stressful had to sunbathe, swim in the clear blue ocean, and drink beer in the evenings watching the sun set. 10 hours to get from there to Chaing Mai. Trekking 2morrow bit scared as having to sleep for 2 nites in the jungle, one under mosquito net the other in a hut. Mosquitos are rife here have been bitten loads, but may have died by the sole of my trainer.
