Hi, We have spent a great few days in Chiang Mai and have finally seen a bit of sun although still quite a lot of rain! Our trip to Chiang Mai from Kanchanaburi was not the best and by the end of it I think me and Caroline both could have quite cheerfully got on the next flight home. It started off with a minibus journey from Kanchanaburi which was not only packed but also stupidly hot. Me and Caroline were squeezed in together on the front seat with no...

Hi, We are still in Kanchanaburi but are about to head off to Chiang Mai which is in the North of Thailand. We are getting an overnight bus there which should be great fun! We had a good day yesterday as we went on a day trip to the Erawan Waterfalls and Hell fire pass.

We are going to be ...

We had a night out on the Kao san road the night before which was great fun although we were a bit disturbed by the amo...

Hey, We have arrived in Thailand now and are staying in Bangkok at the mo. Thailand is our last big stop before we go home and we cant believe time has gone so quickly and we are already here! We'll be home in just over 5 weeks, looking for jobs and getting back to reality! But for the moment we are still travelling and loving every minute! Bangkok is a bit of a culture shock as it is really really busy, a bit smelly and loud but it is so cool and we...
