Tonight turned into another messy one! At 6 o'clock, everyone going on the Intrepid Chiang Mai tour meet at the hotel. Everyone is from a different country, (New Zealand, Australia, Holland, Canada & South Africa!) so their is a good mixture of people! We talked about the plan of action over the next couple of days, and Nop our leader/guide was telling us what to do and what not to do! (Including the Tuk-Tuk scam that's already happened to me!). We went out ...

I've have just arrived at the New World City Hotel, which is the start of my intrepid tour up to Chiang Mai & the hill tribe! (The picture is of me sitting in the bar, having my free drink!) Last night turned out to be a messy one! There was a lot of beer, and some drinking games involved.!

It wasn't a good idea to wear trousers and a fleece, I've been sweating since I arrived! After finding out the bus I was meant to get has been cancelled. I had to make my way into the centre of Bangkok by Train!! & then a taxi f...

Today is officially the first day of my big adventure..! Gotta be honest it was a bit of an emotional goodbye to Mum, Lis & Az..! But it was nice to have a drink before they left! My bag is checked in, seat allocated currency collected and i'm currently sitting in departures after basically stripping at security! Just want to say thanks to everyone that has sent me a text and Facebook messages.. I now have 2 hours to kill... I think I'm going to push the b...
