Hello.
Early morning start to catch the boat and bus to Bangy. Boat wasnt as choppy as originally thought but it did take alot longer than it said it would. Both of us managed to catch some sleep on this one! :)
Arrived in Bangkok, realised that when you catch a bus to somewhere they drop you off in the middle of nowhere so you HAVE to get a tuktuk to a hotel. Arrived at 4 in the morning so stroppy Cherie made us catch the first tuk tuk...ripped us off 100B (2GDP) but we didnt care...so tired! Stayed in a wicked little hostel type place (with air con!!) what a treat!! Headed to MBK that morning after a few hours kip. Its a 7 story MASSIVE shopping centre..full of crap! It was really good fun but didnt get much! Cherie got her hair cut...by a lady boy....hahaha! Now she has had a proper thailand experence.
Suffered our first bad couple of days of illness! And both of us have been put on some anti biotics, which have made us much better! :)
Spent the next day mooching as they say, and headed up to Chaing Mai in the evening. Arrived quite early and got a good look around trying to find a hotel. Realised for our budget we could have a plush room! Although not air con...was lovley! That day we again treated ourselves to an amazing dinner! (Definatly not on a liquid diet, your should see how much food were eating!) Next day cherie persuaded me to go for a thai massage...what a brill idea! It was amazing. After originally planning only half an hour there we both had 2 massages! :) Went and looked around one of their many temples, small and very busy! Went to the renowned night bizaar! Was wicked! It was absolutly huge; hundred of stalls flogging you everything you could ever want! Spent lots on little bits and bobs!
Next day we were up early again and went for a cooking course! It was a wicked little set up in a house with a small group. Got to cook 6 different dishes...with alot of chillies! Cherie found herself at the end of a lot of jokes from the thai people (after hiding the chillies and nearly dieing from her mouth burning off!!!) My food was goooood and I'll cook you some when I get back (got a book with the recipies!)
Today was another early start driving to Pai. Here now,its so chill out, very very quiet. Maybe doing a trek here in a few days not sure yet.
Thats all for now...
Love love!
