Hi guys,
In Chaing Mai at the moment which is in Northern Thailand and as in the UK the weather is alot wetter up here - but it is still boiling and it is sunny at the moment! Had a great couple of days since I left Bangkok. Travelled to Sukhotai , an old Thai capital and then on to Lampang. From there we went to the Elephant conservation centre and we got to feed and ride the elephants. It was amazing and the highlight of the trip so far! Our elephant was 52 and had other ideas about following the recommended path through the jungle and walked straight through a tree - tearing it down. After that we went to the elephant hospital which is sad - there are a couple of elephants that have had their legs blown off by landmines :-( Then we had foot massages and then spent the evening watching Thai dancing and music! Today we biked around a rural village past rice paddies and mushroom farms and spent an hour at a kindergarten in a lesson with the cutest kids you've ever seen!
I have a couple of days in Chaing Mai and then I head back to Bangkok for a night then off to Oz! Can't believe the first part of the trip is nearly over! Doing a Thai cooking course on Saturday so I should be a whizz at knocking up a good thai curry when I get back!
Hope you are all well, take care, Vic xxx
