We have been really busy the last few days so sorry for the delay in updating our blog. We went to the local markets last night where we had a wander around and grabbed some food from the stalls, there were loads to choose from. First we had some meat balls dipped in chilli sauce on a stick, then after seeing someone in Bangkok having amazing looking mussels we decided to grab a bag here, this was more than disappointing as the mussles were shrivled up and covere...

After about 5hrs much needed sleep it was time to pack our bags again and and leave Bangkok (neither of us are sad about this). Due to the floods between here and Chiang Mai we decided to spend a little more and get a flight up. £40 each with free snack and drink was much more appealing than a minimum 12hr bus journey overnight! We were both expecting a shabby prop'd aircraft to take us up; we were relieved to see the same jets Ryan Air etc. use and the ...

We were herded off the mini bus and told to go look at the graves in the cemetery for 20mins and not ot make a sound, 'do not talk', this wasnt a problem as we had no idea what we were even supposed to be looking at so just wandered and ...

Yes we made it to our first destination, we only intended to stay for 2days in Bangkok, this is number 3! and we've taken a break to get some rest, plan our next trip and update our blog!!! After saying cheerio to the torrential Scottish weather we found out our flight was delayed an hour, typical. Just what we needed with a connecting flight from Heathrow to Bangkok getting ever closer! After circling Heathrow for 20 mins awaiting a landing slot we were ...
