When travelling for long periods of time it is ridicules to think that every will be perfect. Sadly as well as amazing highs there will inevitably be some lows also. Today for me was a mixture of both highs and lows unfortunately ending on a low. To begin i tried my hand at ziplining. The company we went with was the most expensive of all the choices but had a great name for themselves and was voted best attraction in Asia so we thought that if we were going to ...

Today was a lazy day. We had a massive breckfast then relaxed until about six in the evening. At that stage we hopped into a taxi and headed out to a temple in the mountains. We never made it to the temple though because ten minutes into the taxi journey we spotted another massive midnight market and nearly jumped out of the moving taxi to get to it, sorry temple we will get to you to tomorrow. This market was amazing, such a find. Unlike the last one which real...

This lead us to china town where we saw two different things that really excited u...

After a relaxing morning in Ayuthaya we caught a two hour train to the town of Lopburi. At first site Lopburi appeared to be a very dull dreary run down town but there was a reason we chose to stop there... Monkeys! The monkeys run the town and can be seen everywhere. We went to walk around ruins of Prang Sam Yot and needed a guide who told us a bit of history about the ruins but more importantly kept the monkeys at a distance using a bamboo stick.
