What is really strange about travelling, is that although we don’t have to go to work we seem to be sooooo busy. The time just seems to disappear – leaving little time for getting on the internet and writing blogs. So today we are having a bit of a lazy day devoted to eating, laundry [...]

As you will know from Paul’s post we were lucky enough to meet an amazing lady – Mrs Ellis, who we stayed with in Chiang Mai. She was kind enough to take us out to some very nice restaurants to eat eat typical Northern Thai food. Her friend’s restaurant was decked out with amazing antiques [...]

Between Khao yai and Chiang Mai we had another quick stop in Bangkok – enough time to squeeze in a morning visit to the Floating market. The guidebook wasn’t too positive about it – it is very touristy, but well worth a couple of hours just to see the manic scenes of boats and people. [...]

Based on Dan and Pilar’s recommendation and the postacards on the wall of their loo, off we went to Khao Yai. They were right! It was beautiful.
We got the bus from Bangkok to Pak Chong (luckily someone spotted us looking aimless and pointed us in the right direction), then a taxi to a funny little guesthouse [...]

On our first day we went on a walking tour taking in the [...]

As you will have read in an earlier post, I nearly threw the computer out the window when my blog entry magically disappeared from my screen (having spent an hour writing it. Having got over the devastation, I thought it time to recap on some of the unwritten adventures!
So, off to Turtle Bay beach club we went, [...]
