If you get the chance, go north to Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, beautiful countryside there, far more laid back than Bangkok, and the people even look and speak a little different.
Quick tip, in Thailand women may not touch a monk, or even share a seat with him. Learn a little Thai, learn to wai, smile a lot, be patient, and don't ever critisis the royal family, or touch a Thai on the head. Most of all, have fun |

Today I am making my way to Chiang Mai. Chiang Mai is in the northern provinces and involved taking a plane from Krabi to Bangkok and then taking the overnight train to Chiang Mai.
My hotel arranged a mini van to Krabi. …head out and go wait in line at the ferry crossing. There is no bridge across the channel between the islands. It is a 5 minute crossing on the ferry and then we are off across the north island. There is not much… Journey to Chiang Mai through Bangkok |

As it was Sunday I headed north to a big market that is only on at weekends. It was so huge I only managed to walk around about half of it before I felt like I was going to die of heatstroke! There was a live animal section in the market…headed north to a big market that is only on at weekends.

I hadn't been here in over twenty years and as much as things have changed, some remain the same with an incredi…headed north. The Chao Phyrha is not the prettiest of rivers, actually it is brown and muddy, but life teems alongside of it with the bizarre mix of gorgeous Wats (temples), crazy speeding long boats, barges, shanties, etc. and it is always an entertaining… Bangkok |

Well. Wellllll. Well well well. I'm in Bangkok. It's hotter than the hinges hanging from the gates of hell!
I think I'm going to do a whirlwind tour of the main Bangkok sites, and then get out of here as quickly as I can, he…heading north to Chiang Mai.
I've managed to find myself a little internet cafe at the end of Khao San Road, and from here I am broadcasting to you. I had so much to say, but now my mind is blank (or rather… It's so hot right now, I'm thweating |

I wasn't sure what exactly to expect from Bangkok. Images of ping-pong girls, happy-endings and crazy tuk-tuk drivers scurrying around was all I knew about the city. Despite the presence of all the cliches I was more touched with the amazing scence …headed up north first. Had and incredible time riding a bike around the ruins of Sukhothai. I sort of expected the north or anywhere outside the cities or beaches to be poor and undeveloped. Boy was I wrong! Most of Thailand is very suburban. Wonderful… Thailand |
