We arrived back to Thailand on the Tuesday and met up with the girls Gem and Molly that we had met on the elephant volunteer week. We went and bought water guns and then joined in the water fight that was already happening in the streets even though it was a day early. We then walked to a nearby hotel where a pool party was being held. We all bought the unlimited drink package and we stayed there for the rest of the night,eating, drinking, swimming and dancing!

We arrived in Vietnam in Ho Chi Minh city in the evening on Saturday. After being at the airport for quite a while extra (Kerry left her passport on the plane and then we didn't have any US dollars on us to pay for our visas) we got a taxi to our hostel. They had upgraded us to a private room and then we headed straight out the a night market. The traffic was horrendous and there are barely any pavements so crossing the road was so scary. We made it to some marke...

We got up early on Monday morning and were taken to the elephant camp. We spent the day first feeding the elephants bananas in the jungle, then walking them to the top of the hill.

We arrived on the night train to Chiang Mai and even though we were both on top bunk we slept reasonably well! We arrived at 7am and got a taxi to our hostel.

In the evening we went and had dinner at a local Italian restaurant, the food was lovely. The next day we went to chiang mai zoo. There was loads o...

We arrived in Bangkok on the 22nd March in the evening at around 7.30pm. We got a taxi from the airport to our hostel and because our hostel was down a back road we had to walk a fair distance to find it with our heavy rucksacks on! We checked in and headed out for dinner straight away, we went to a local Thai restaurant and the food was great! Kerry had green curry and I had red, was very nice and really cheap! About £2 for the meal in total. On the 23rd we w...
