Hi everyone, I'm in Chiang Mai in Northen Thailand at the mo. I travelled north on the overnight train on Friday, and what should have been a 13 hour journey turned into a 17 hour train journey...i'm not sure what happened, we left Bangkok on time, but somehow the train was delayed for 4 hours along the way!!! When we asked the guards why we were late they just smiled and nervously laughing said "yes, we are late"...yeah, that was really helpful! B...

Hi everyone. I am back in Bangkok at the moment. I have added a couple of photos to the blog, but it takes absolutely ages to upload them...so I got a fed up and gave up!!! But I will try to add some more when I get a chance. Also, I have managed to lose my phone on my travels...so sorry if anyone has tried to call or text, but I will try to sort out a replacement soon.

I've been at the wildlife center almost a week, and I really feel as though I've settled in now. It actually feels as though I've been here ages, because the days are so long... I bet none of you can believe I manage to get up at 5.45 and start work at 6.15 every morning!!!!!
