I have a lay in. I've seen the town and relax before my bus. I sit up on the roof one last time. Apart from the traffic, it's peaceful updating my notes. I grab a coffee and a banana shake near the bus station at Eagle tours. I use the WiFi to start looking at accommodation in Singapore. Craig had sent a message on Facebook mentioning we may not have been to Chiang Rai which if true is hilarious. I wonder if we went on the way back with Gary after leaving Au...

I get up early, grab the free breakfast of toast and bananas, enjoying the coffee at the almost empty restaurant located in the hostel. The weather is wet and doesn't suit my confidence levels on a moped. Fang is 40 miles away and I dont fancy being stuck in a downfall. I get ready and continue the walking tour. I had spoken to the staff at the hostel about booking a bus. There are 2 bus stations, but I can book it from station number 1 near the night bazaar...

I head out to get a bike but non available. I can't find any in town and see a sign pointing to the Chiang Rai beach. Curious I consult maps.me and start following the signs. I walk past the market and start heading towards the suburbs. Bigger houses, dotted with schools make way for small local cafes and tiny takeaway wagons in the front of houses for passing trade. I look at my map app and dont seem to be getting very close. Chiang Rai is in need o...

The Bus is coming at 10am. I've not alot to pack or take as my rucksack is at Mo's(LT). It looks like it has been raining most of the night and is still spitting. The bus stops about 2 hours into the journey at Thaweesin hot springs. Eggs are being boiled and the area has the same odour. A small place, now a tourist attraction. I will be curious to see my old photos as there are so many places that I have no recollection from my old guide book. We partly h...

I need to get out of Chaing Mai. Its been nice to catch up with Mo and also to remember the past both with Thailand and with us. Come to terms with change.We go back to the Wild Boar. Andy Murray playing Federer. A few days old so I know that Andy loses. I get some chicken noodle soup. More effort was put into the design on top of the coffee. I book a bus to Chiang Rai for tomorrow. It feels good to be getting back on the road again. Time to move forward....
