Hi there, have arrived safely in Bangkok, it is an amazing but very busy city. Have been for a thai massage never knew my body to click and bend in so many ways!! Also taken the local tut tut that was an experience worse than those brummy taxi drivers!!! Had a few beers, saw a few sights and looked around the shops last night!!! Off to catch the overnight train to Chaing Mai with a great bunch of people we've met. Ill keep you posted All my love

Took the overnight train to Chaing Mai, much better than i expected, had proper beds, a western toilet and it was such great fun with a big group of us. After getting lost near the hotel in search of a cash machine, i spent the day at a thai cookery course, making my own spring rolls and papya salad - wagamma's here i come!! When to Wat phrathat temple, all i can say is how much gold??!! Next stop was the night bizzaa markets - 'same same but different'!! 10th...
