Hiya everyone. We would like to announce that the winner of the quiz is ....Yvonne! So congratualtions and you shall receive a priza in 8 months time. But dont feel bad the rest of you for not coming top as you all beat our own parents who scored a low 1/5 and the one they got right was the one we told them the answer to!!! The answers are as followed:
1. Bobby T always writes the blog.
2. 3.75 was our cheapest day including accomodation, transport, food etc.
3. Bobby D has been sick.
4. Bobby T is the chief photographer.
5. Bobby D rode the moped!
We went to Chiang Rai for four days after Chaing Mai. We went to the Golden Triangle which is where you can see where Burma, Laos and Thailand meet which was great. However we decided to change guest house after two days because we had some intruders in our room both nights. Lovely cockroaches!! The first night we saw one and bobby came to the rescue and stomped on it. But the second night two came on our bed and two came onto the walls and although we quite enjoyed night patrol
that night we decided to go the next day. Our next place was nice and clean thankfully. We also went to BIG C supermarket (like tesco) and bought 7 tops costing us in total 4 pounds. We cant resist a bargain! Our last day In Chaing Rai we went to Doi Tung which had lovely gardens on top of a mountain (see pictures) and we also met a lovely New York professor (who went to Oxford Uni) and her mum.
We are now in Nan and today we had moped taxis for the moring/early afternoon. One of the drivers was a owner of a tattoo parlour/monk who just finished his monk duties yesterday. We went to a forest reserve with caves and to the temples in the town which was great.
After the King Celebration we decided to get a yellow t-shirt for cheap which says 'I LOVE THE KING' in Thai. Yes we are planning to see your Dad Yvonne tommrow if we can get through to him.
We tend to wear our long tops to avoid getting bitten (me) or to avoid getting burnt (Bobby) - so we do get a bit sweaty. But luckily our
sweat apparantly repels mosquitos because we take these horrible disgusting vitamin B tablets every day.
We are very happy that people are liking the photos!!!
Also we wish Nanny and Granddad a speedy recovery and everybody send them our love when you see them. Thanks!

Loved the views of the Golden Triangle, woody walks and water feature ! Do send photo of Yvonne's dad and his house, and some local transport. Can't wait to open my father's day goodies you left me. Father
