After a nice breakfast at a cafe up the road we saddled up and said bye to Pai. Off we went twisting up to the top of the next mountain and down the other side, Soppong was only about an hours ride away. Our map reading took a bit of a turn for the worst here and we ended up over shooting our next destination by about 10km which took nearly half an hour to back-track due to the sharp twists and turns. Cave lodge was built in the early 80's originally desi...

After a broken nights sleep we dragged ourselves out of bed to begin our next adventure, we really should have been more enthusiastic! We packed our bags and split our responsibilities . . .Sinead stayed at the hotel to type up the past few days blog whilst Matt had an epic ' song thaew' journey (for those of you who're keeping up you should know what this is! :) An hour driving around the city picking people up dropping people off but still no sign of M...

After a busy day yesterday and a late night last night we accidently slept in this morning! We were booked to go on a trip called the Flight of the Gibbons.

SCORE. Apparently they had rang last night to say it would be 45mins late so we managed to get ou...

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 ...
