Day 1 We have finally arrived in Chiang Mai, its been a long wait with all the troubles in Bangkok but it has been well worth it and that shows as I have not been providing you all with a day by day update on our travels. So I thought I would do it all in one as were now back in Bangkok awaiting our train to Surat. On arrival in Chiang Mai we jumped straight in a tuk tuk and headed for Th Tha Phae Road where we sought accommodation, the guest house we found...

We went straight out for breakfast down a small cafe and on our return collected our bags and hoped on a long tail boat to Railay, situated just along the coast from Krabi town it is a 45 min boat ride along the coast.
