Went for a BIG breakfast at the Irish pub down the road so that we were full up for the day (very yummy indeed). From there we walked to the Tha Pae Gate (the main enterence to the old city) before continuing on to Wat Chedi Luang, Wat Phra Singh before then experiencing Thailand rain, aka Fat Rain!!!!! It had been very hot and sunny all morning & the rain came out of no where. Once the rain had calmed down a bit we moved on to 3 Kings Monument in the centre...

Had a lazy morning following our late flight and check in last night. The owner had told us about the Chiang Mai Sunday marker so we had a brunch at a nearby pub/restaurant & made our way to that. On our way to the market we came across an older temple, it was so peaceful and so so beautiful - one of our favourites so far. The market was huge! We only got round about a quater of it! It had some great stalls & the art work for sale was amazing, wish we ha...

Short drive from Bangkok we stopped at The biggest Pagoda in Thailand. It was under construsction which was annoying but you could still see it and it was beautiful. After an hours drive we arrived at the town where we boa...

Alarm set for 9am, dressed and out by 10. Instead of going the same way down the allies we went in the opposite direction, which actually brought us onto Khoa San Road and funnily enough it was alot more like what we were expecting - busy with lots of stalls, shops and people trying to flog stuff! We really needed to get a printed copy of our excel spreadsheet (aka our bible) so went to an internet cafe which was also a travel agency (Welcome Travel). As well a...
