S: So we had 762 bends to get back down from Pai. Unfortunately they put us at the back. Bad move, James gets travel sick, but has been brilliant so far. I had to shout at the driver to stop before he was sick lol. He wasn't the only one in the bus to be feeling the effects. There is also one other thing to add, Thai drivers drink a million (ok, slight exaggeration) red bulls and drive like Michael Schumacher. We did make it down safely, and arrived in Bangkok ea...

J: We arrived in Pai after a route that takes 762 continuously tight corners over the mountain, thankfully we where at the front but I still felt a little iffy, they actually make T-Shirts for this journey. When we got there we found a lovely little place to eat and it was the first good Thai curry we had had so far. Later we walked about the town, renting a bike here is cheap and it seams every tourist jumps on one for the first time and instantly crashes or fa...

S: I wanted to do something different in Chiang Mai, and found a 'Paradise 3D Art Museum'.

We spent all of the afternoon there, an...

We found a lovely hostel that had just as much foliage inside as well as out, which had loads of kittens running around the place so Sam was happy to stay and it was really cheap so I was happy too. We rented a moped and went to the Black Temple just outside the town. This was a very dark temple and not just because it was black, it seamed to worship death. It had dead animal bones...

J: We rode back to Hanoi on the bike, it was a lovely sunny ride through the villages & mountains. Although my navigator did have some issues.... Sam directed me on the "motorway" which shouldn't have bikes on it (although no sign posts to tell me of this) a man at the side waved us down said we couldn't go further.... So I had to turn around go the wrong way down the motorway for 200 meters, up the slip road against the traffic and back into the normal road ...
