Right then, Im falling really far behind in this blogging malarkey so am going to have to work hard to catch up - Im actually miles away from Chiang Mai now - not going to tell you where quite yet - would want to ruin the suspense but suffice to say, I have seen an awful lot in the past couple of weeks.
