Hve only been in Thailand a few days now - spent 4 days in Bangkok, saw a few of the main sights, the Grand Palace and Reclining Buddha are amazing. I'm now in Chiang Mai in the north of Thailand after an overnight train journey (a proper sleeper service where someone comes round and makes your bed up for you, it was brilliant, after a year of many overnight journeys, I've not been able to lie out before!) The big dilemma now is whether to go on a three day trek or stay in Chiang Mai in the hope that someone will be showing the Scotland game, which will be on here at 2 in the morning. It seems as if none of the Asian networks show the European qualifiers, so will maybe go on the trek and hope that someone in a remote tribal village has a long wave radio. I better check that being caught breaking into village elders hut to borrow radio is not a death penalty here. Planning on doing a bit of trekking here and around Mae Hong Son and then over into the north of Laos.

OMG Thailand looks amaaaaaaazing!!
What's the huge buddha made of? Thailand is sooo colourful, am jealous once again. You'll come back and I will be a dark shade of bottle green. I was pastel green before these photies, I am now the shade of lush, verdant grass.
