Hi, We have reluctantly returned to the expensive internet in Bangkok. The night train back wasn't too bad, only an hour and a quarter late which is pretty much on time really. Weve had a really chilled out day, got back to the guesthouse and the maids were expecting us which was good, lovely to be back with our amazing shower. The feeling of being properly clean is really underestimated, im going to enjoy it when i get back home. We sorted out Esthers burmese...

So we have just returned from our trek in Chiang Mai. (Although we have obv been and had a shower because we were disgusting!) Had a really good time with a really good group of people. We got picked up yesterday morning by our crazy tour guides 'woody woodpecker' and 'bob marley' no idea what their real names were.

Hello again, These blog updates are getting rather frequent so if im boring you all you can just ignore me. So today we had a rather lazy get up for us, at about 7.30am.

We have done some serious shop...

Had a lovely meal and were tucked up in bed by 10 0'clock. I didn't sleep that well so i was aware that we were stopped at some points during the night. Foolishly i thought we must be running ahead of schedule and so waiting in a station to get back in time. Breakfast was strange but OK, we had it at about ...

So we have made it back to Bangkok, we had a really hectic last couple of days so are having a chilled out day before we head to chiang mai on the night train tonight. We did make it to the waterfalls, we think were getting the hang of the crazy public transport system, basically motorbikes, tuktuks and taxis connecting all the different places. The waterfalls were beautiful, had a lovely walk up them, there were a lot of people swimming in them though, probably...
