Part 35: The Elephants..... As I sat in the lobby, wondering once more what would be in stall for me, I noticed that no one else from the Hostel were preparing for this particular trip. Unlike me, they were all sleeping soundly, probably for most of the day I would expect, trying to shake their hangovers. I on the other hand, was on the verge of embarking on yet another adventure, that I seemingly knew nothing about. Barely enough time passed for me to clear ...

Part 34: Chiang Mai by night..... This was fast turning into my favorite hostel so far. For a start it was only £3 a night, and thats with breakfast included. Gina, the proprietor was awesome - kind of like your mom, sorting things for you, making sure you had insect repellent on before you went out, organizing your laundry. Also we could help our selves to the drinks in the fridge, beers included, and she trusted us to write it down on a piece of paper if no...

The grounds in which the sanctuary lay were beautiful and equally fitting of such an amazing place. There were adorably cute cubs play...

Then, unlike some of my previous room mates, I did my best to get ready without making to much noise. All my packing was done the previous night as ...

Part 31: Khaosan Road..... Not only were these swollen bed bug bites, the itchiest, and most irritating I have ever had, they were causing us an extremely unwelcome situation too. We did a little research, discovering that sprays alone are not really that effective, and the only thing that can kill the eggs, is a temperature of more than 120 degrees! Yvonne could potentially infest her entire house In Singapore when she returns, and I would likely infest my co...
