Hello!
Been in Thailand for 5 days now & finally have wifi!

We stayed in the poshest hotel I have ever seen in Bangkok & had a great time.

We went to see all the touristy things like the grand palace & the emerald Buddha, we also visited wat pho where the massive reclining Buddha is & wat Arun which was a Khmer style temple which Dando climbed right to the top of!

We also visited Chinatown which was fun as we basically wandered around never ending markets & stalls selling everything from kids toys, cameras, clothes & even guns! We had noodles for lunch in a restaurant & then that was where it all went wrong...

I became very unwell that night & Dando was absolutely fine so I thought it must be heat stroke (Bangkok is so hot it's untrue!) as Dando ate everything the same as me. But just as I got better, the next day Dando suddenly became violently unwell while we were out to the point he was sick (alot) in the street! Not nice!

You will be pleased to know we have both made a full recovery & caught the overnight train to Chiangmai which is where we are now.

The train was fun but it was like sleeping in a washing machine. Only louder. I was in the top bunk & Dando was underneath me with curtains sectioning everyone off from one another. We did get some sleep but it was so loud & so wobbly I had to hang on for dear life on a few occasions on the top bunk!

Right must go, off to explore Chiangmai now. One night here then off to chiangrai tomo for trekking.

Much love

Mr & Mrs Dando xxxxx
