Well, you might wonder why it has been so long since our last entry and the simple answer is..we haven't really been up to that much!! Aftyer Bangkok we took the train to a small town called Ayutthaya which is a modern city surrounded by ancient temple ruins. It was nice to chill out there for a few days and we saw some cool ruins and Buddha's!!

After that we set off up North to Chiang Mai with the idea of doing a few days jungle trekking. Unfortunately, Jess was struck down with a bit of a cold (probably the result of too many late nights!!!) so that was the end of trekking! We stayed in Chiang Mai for about 5 days and mainly hung out in the Chaing Mai Saloon bar playing pool and eating really nice western food!! We did go for a few walks (!) and had a visit to the dentist to get our teeth cleaned and checked for the bargain price of 7 pounds each! We then felt that if we didn't leave soon we'd end up trapped in Chiang Mai forever, so we got the bus into the hills to find Pai!

Pai is really lovely and the nicest place so far in Thailand. It's really relaxing and small and surrounded by hills and a river. We are still thinking about trekking but have now been told by many people that it's much nicer and cheaper in Laos ( It could also be that we are too lazy?!) so might wait until then! We've made friends with some English people and have spent time relaxing with them in little cafes and bars.

We have discovered that Thailand is so easy and laid back, especially coming from India so we just feel like we're on holiday most of the time! We are also feeling a little bit "templed out" so have decided to give the temples a miss for a while and save ourselves for Ankor Wat in Cambodia! So, very sorry if it makes a boring read for you but we are having a great time being very lazy and doing lots of reading and tea drinking! We are off to Laos in a week so it should get a bit more exciting from then!
