Hi All well I went on a trek for 3 days in the area of Chang Mai this is north of bangkok 12 hour bus journey it was wonderfull lots of things to see some beutifull waterfalls and it was great to see the local villages. I also got to ride on a elephant was so cool and I also did bamboo rafting this was super cool although we ended up of the raft more than we was on it. Also the guys stopped the raft so we could climb to the top of some rocks then jump in the rapids was good but scary as the rapids were strong and I couldnt swim against them to well. Im now back in Bangkok staying with a friend I have met and plan to head to Vietnam on Monday gonna take a flight as I am getting tired of long bus journeys. Ive decided to miss lous as the visa is expensive and by the time I pay for that and the bus tickets etc its just as cheap to fly s8 to Vietnam also more comfortable. I am thinking of maybe moving to Bangkok at the end of my travels as its a great place to be but who knows there is still a lot more places to see in the world. Well I will try and upload some more pics for you all over next day or to then I will hope to update you all once I am in Vietnam. Take care all love loads Nigel xxxx
