Time to pack again...for Phuket! Flying from Chiang Mai, which is the last place we were in. Good job we booked our flight a couple of days ago because there are no seats left! John and Gaynor had already said the other day that they could take us down to Chiang Mai and just pay them what the mini-bus company would charge, which is only 200 Baht each (£4). They were already going down anyway to pick up a group of 6 lads who are staying at their place for 10 d...

When we stepped out of our bungalow this morning, we saw John was about to take the dogs for a "walk". Well, what he does is puts the 3 dogs in the sidecar of the bike and takes them up the road!! It's hilarious to see because there's 2 Labradors and a Great Dane in this little sidecar, with John flying along in it. I got a few pictures and Therese got a video of me driving them up the driveway. We went for a nice long walk today. We walked from Quinlins up to P...

I don know why we are so tired. We were asleep by 11pm last night and then didn't wake up until 9am this morning - must be the mountain air!

Well we finally did what we were most looking forward to in Thailand - a ride on the elephants! John took us up to this place about 15 minutes away called Thom's Elephant Camp. We pulled up to the fairly small place ju...

Got ourselves up at a more reasonable time this morning and was at breakfast for 9am. Back to the muesli and yoghurt...really fancied a sausage butty though. We arranged with John to go to one of the natural hot springs. He just charges a small amount for petrol so it's cheap to get out and see stuff. Took about 20 minutes to get to the entrance to the hot springs area. Had to pay about a pound each to 5 guys who control the entrance...5 people! One asks how man...

Woke up this morning to a much better Therese. She said that she felt ok and had none of the symptoms from the past few days. But now what. Now she has a problem with her wisdom tooth... Therese ALWAYS has some kind of medical problem. But at least she feels a lot better now! She's been stuck inside for the past 3 days and finally feels like she can venture out. A bit of bonjela will sort her wisdom tooth out. Anyway, we had a good sleep in this morning and ma...
