Hiya everyone! Unfortunately, we have had to leave Chiang Mai at some point and start moving towards Bangkok as Neil's holiday is slowly but surely coming to an end. On Monday, we moved to Sukothai, the first Thai capital. There isn't really much here apart from the Old Sukothai Park, which is a Unesco World Heritage site with loads of temples from the 13th and 14th century. We decided to splash out a bit and booked ourselves into a nice guesthouse with swimmin...

My first was one to remember for two reasons: I was staying on a room that was floating on the river (thought it might make me seasick but thank God it didn't), very special, but the second reason was, I didn't get much s...

Just a quick update: I have now left Bangkok behind and am currently in Kanchanaburi. For all of you who don't know, this is where the famous bridge of the river Kwai is located. There are loads of things to do here and the atmosphere is so much more relaxed than Bangkok.Yesterday I hired a scooter and went to Erawan Waterfalls, a waterfall that consists of different levels and you can swim at each step. BUT there are fresh water fish in the water that are veryte...
