Chiang Mai, Thailand
We arrived in Phuket where Sam and I had a couple of days before the others arrived. I didn't really like Phuket.... the town is dirty and there isn't much to do there. We staying in Karon which has an amazing beach but the town is a bit seedy with a lot of old men with young Thai girls. We were also getting our first look at the lady boys which I think was freaking Sam out a bit. After a couple of days relaxing we met up with 6 others whom we would be travelling...
