Well where do i start.... its been the most craziest 10days of my life, it started in Bangkok i spent 4days on kho san road mainly gettin drunk an finding my bearings, the street food was good phad thai with chickin, it was probably cat or dog bt it tasted good an 40 baht about 80pence who's complainin, i also tried a grasshopper, a little beetle an small budgity grub like a litte maggot, none of them tasted nice bt the grasshopper was far the tastiest.
Met alot of people bt only for the day/night then they went off an did there own stuff or carried onto there nxt place, basically alot of people jst passin through. i did go an see all the temples an buddha's on one of my days an the kings palace which was pretty impressive bt there are so many temples an buddhas u can see, one day was enough nt my cuppa tea bt it had to be done.
I also went to to see a kickboxin match at lumphini stadium, the atmosphere was the best, all the locals givin hand signals for bettin on the fights, no knock outs bt it was well worth going.
I cud see myself stayin in bangkok for far too long so on the 4th day i got up in the mornin an booked my sleeper train to chiang mai North thailand....

Chang Mai much less hussle an bussle of bangkok, i arrived at 8am after the 13 hr sleeper train which was comfortable an the time passed quickily an by 9 30am i was on my way into the jungle to stay with a family in the jungle a 3 hr trek to get there up an itwas mainly all up hill, a good little work out if i must say the 2 days consisted of riding elephants which was amazin, jst bein so close to them an bein able to feed them, (ive got a video bt its takin ages to upload so i'll do it another time) stayin over in a little bamboo hut an then bamboo raftin an white water raftin on the 2nd day then bk to my hostel which was called julies guesthouse.
Next it was a cookin coarse for a day which was cool, ive learnt a couple of new dishes an got a recipe book and on the front it said "When in Rome do as a roman do" (fao Smithy an Az) so i might russle up some thai food when i'm back bt im not promising anything
The next couple of days consisted of zip linin through the jungle high in the trees, goin out at night with a irish lad called jamie saying that he wasnt a lad he was 30 bt he was a quality guy an seeing what the chang mai night life was like, it turned out to be late nite goin to a place called pornping it wasnt what ur thinkin, it was like a caberet on stage an they were singin songs in Thai, lol a bit of Akon 'i wona make luve right nooow noooow nooow' it was funny then onto a place called spicy and on the entrance it said 'No Ladyboys aloud',i didnt get in in till 7am an ended up hitchin a ride of a thai girl on her motercycle in the mornin for 50baht about a quid bk to my hostel cos i didnt know where it was lol. All the people seem really friendly.
I was ment to be gettin a 18 hr bus ride to laos the nxt day bt i didnt arise out of my bed till late afternoon so i booked one more day at my hostel, so i decided to go an see a monkey show and a king cobra show (supposedly the one thats on the recent Rambo movie) both were good bt goin to see Tigers at a place called Tiger Kingdom which has been the highlight so far,bein so close an in the same cage as them playin with 3month old tigers an strokin a 2year old one bt im tellin u they were massive considerin they were only 2... anyways need to shoot asap cos my 18 hr supposedly VIP bus to Laos has jst pulled up. Love u all, an i'll keep u posted when i get to there xx
