Stayed about in ayutthaya for a couple of days did a boat trip round the island saw a couple of wats (pretty much had anoth of them now) found a small bar run by a english man. He was great because he had traveld quite a bit him self and gave me a bit on insider knowledge. Left Ayutthaya on the over night train and arrived in Chaing Mai early in the morning and had a lazy day did a bit of exploring but not much. Went to the night market (were i brought some chequered flip flops, they look the dogs). Went on a trip were we went to the Burma border, hot spring, a water fall, Chaing Rai and another temple (a pretty busy day but was worth it). Also learned that Chaing means city a Mai can mean new,wood,old, fire and loads more things . Headed over to the Lisu loge the next day.Sue and Dave got a triple room to help me save money but on the 1st night we just had a masive bed (all under one mozy net too) Did loads there cooking, riding a elephant, bit of bike riding were dave come off(was so
