I had an upset tummy from all the chilli I put in my cooking yesterday! Up most of the night I'm so sleepy today, worst part was the toilet wouldn't flush and I had to wake Tobes up to fix it as it was getting a bit desperate. Spent the day by the pool, close to a loo. Ended up chatting to two Canadian girls who'd spent two weeks in the south they gave us some pointers on where to go and what to do, we went with Marie-Josie and Audrey to Thai Hut to show them and had another great meal. Arriving back at the hotel at 5.15pm we asked to be taken to the train station to catch our sleeper train to Bangkok which left at 5.55pm. However, turns out we were supposed to be back by 4.30pm because since Bangkok was closed to Red shirts the uprising had started in Chiang Mai and all the roads were gridlocked! The staff called for a tuk tuk as they might be able to dodge through the traffic but they were stuck in the traffic and couldn't make it so two guys from the hotel grabbed our bags hopped onto their mopeds and we jumped on the back for the scariest ride of my life. I thought we wouldn't make it in time, and then I thought there's no way I'm going to not fall off this thing he was driving so fast. Tobes arrived 10mins before me and he said he'd seen road blocks with barbed wire and burning tyres!! We got the train with plenty of time and a nice Thai couple on the beds below us offered us a whole bunch of lycees- Tobes munched away and even had a 3 course dinner on the train but I was still feeling delicate.
