Hey!
Writing from Pai, Northern Thailand. Headed up to Chiang Mai from Bangkok on a joyous overnight bus which stopped everywhere and had some seriously strange hippies on it! Got into Chiang Mai at the crack of dawn and headed to a cute little guesthouse called 'a little bird' - great find! Lots of chilled people, super cheap & clean!
Orientated myself by learning to ride a scooter, which is no mean feat in Thailand's second biggest city, when you are white, blonde and are given a pink scooter because naturally that's the only one left in the shop! Barbie comes to Chiang Mai!
Anyway 36km, a scraped knee & being rescued by a hot aussie later, i got the hang of biking & wild horses couldn't stop me now! I always said i'd learn to ride a motorbike - sorry dad - and i'm doing it! I know what my first purchase will be back in London!
Speaking of wild horses - i accidently beeped my horn whilst going past an elephant on the road outside of Pai...one of lifes hairier moments!
Visited some gorgeous temples in the mountainside around Chiang Mai, and have been getting out and about into the country in Pai as well! Stumbled upon a gorgeous spa with 6 infinity pools overlooking the lovely countryside and chilled out in some natural hot spings!
Am living in a house on stilts with an open air bathroom on an organic hippy farm about 5km out of pai! Some super random people and animals! Damn rooster wakes me up at 6am every morning, i'm convinced a rat is living in our roof, and there are some people there that should not be allowed to ride motorbikes! Becky got thrown off one by a guy who doesn't know how to use his brakes! Luckily she is ok - just some scrapes and bruises!
Off white water rafting on a 2-day overnight trip into the jungle with grade 3 rapids tomorrow! Then heading into Laos on the slowboat. That's when Becky and i will split off and go it alone after a month together! Time to meet some more people :)
Hasta luego chicos xxx
