Just a short one...
So we arrived into Bangkok after a few long, but easy (and not delayed!) flights at around lunchtime. Managed to get a bus straight to the train station and sorted our sleeper trains up to Chiang Mai for that evening. Found some typical Thai food at the station (noodles and rice) for only 35B which is about 70p! Then just waited around in the station for the train. We made friends with a lovely old Thai man called "John", who has requested we send him postcards from London, Birmingham, Newcastle and Southampton once we're home, and says we can't forget as we are now "best friends forever!!" The Thai people here are all so lovely and friendly!
Spent the night on a 15 hour first class (more like 5th class - you should have seen the state of the toilet! But meant we got a lockable door) sleeper train up to Chiang Mai where we are now. We've had a look around the town and have now got our bearings a bit, and managed to see about 4 temples already just this morning. We're staying at a nice hotel with a pool for tonight, then have booked a 2 day Trek up to the mountains for the next 2 days, which involves waterfalls, elephant riding and bamboo rafting!
Will update soon,
