Day 17 leave Chaing Mai We are packed and ready to go.... We leave the breakfast... Shiree, although feeling slightly better is not yet willing to put anything in her mouth and I'm ok for dodgy chicken sausage.... Were collected in a minivan which is preferred to a coach and take our seats for the next 6 hr journey. Our drivers good this time... I assume he must own this van as he takes far less risks than some we've experienced. The landscape becomes even m...

Day 16 I'm awake..... Its 3 am and I'm wide awake... Thai food has finally brought one of us down.... Shiree's spending more and more time in the loo and not looking like she's enjoying it... We get a knock at 07.30am on our door by hotel staff who have come to inform us that our transport for our day trip to Chaing Rai has arrived.... Neither of us have really slept since 3am and we have somehow lost a day... We were expecting to go to Chaing Rai tomorrow so w...

Day 13 Today we are off on a trekking experience... Two days one night. We are collected by a common sight in Northern Thailand... Its a pick up truck with a high level roof over the back... This is where the passengers sit.. They still have traditional TukTuks for shorter trip around Chaing Mai but we are heading out of town... We are the last to get collected and squeeze into the back of the pick up taxi.. There are a view English speaking voices so we breat...

Day 12. Travel to Chaing Mai Easy start to today... We are getting collected by coach for Chaing Mai at 10am from outside our hostel which is very convenient. Another night sleeping on a bed made from granite is taking its toll so for that reason alone we'll be glad to move on. We soon notice the terrain change within half an hour of our 5 hr journey North and we stumble across something we have not seen before... A hill.... In fact lots of them... All with...
