Day 13 Today we are off on a trekking experience... Two days one night. We are collected by a common sight in Northern Thailand... Its a pick up truck with a high level roof over the back... This is where the passengers sit.. They still have traditional TukTuks for shorter trip around Chaing Mai but we are heading out of town... We are the last to get collected and squeeze into the back of the pick up taxi.. There are a view English speaking voices so we breat...

Day 12. Travel to Chaing Mai Easy start to today... We are getting collected by coach for Chaing Mai at 10am from outside our hostel which is very convenient.

We board the coach after a 10 min TukTuk ride with our bags strapped to the roof... The...

Day 9 - 6th DecemberWe awake late in the morning and only just get to the table in time for breakfast which was free... A 7 inch omelette made without breaking the yokes with bacon and sliced tomato.From here we hire some of the heaviest push bikes in the world and set off round Ayutthaya for a self guided tour with a free map.....
