                    <description>Today was an early breakfast for both Shelly and I. Shelly headed off to scuba dive no camera so no pictures for he. I went to cook.The cooking school was great. it was open air and had a beautiful view of the ocean. We learned to cook several dishes and I also talked with one of the chefs and got receipes for a couple of shelly and my favorite dishes. Now my goal will be to see if I can find al</description>

                    <description>Hello from Phuket. As you saw yesteday we arrived in Phuket and into our great hotel. we went into town last night. wow Phuket is a party town  lots of people very few Thai people just a lot of tourists. I guess it39s like a Myrtle Beach of Thailand. Shelly and I both agree we like the smaller Thai villages better. Today we decided to chill. It felt great. I woke up about 7am and laid on m</description>

                    <description>We arrived in Pai after leaving the quick mountain biking from the day. We showered then went into town for a massage drinks and dinner. We also did a bit of shoping. Pai is small but has an active downtown. We had to walk into town but got a tuk tuk to get us back to the hotel. The next morning we were met at the hotel to start our rafting.We rafted the Pai river for 2 days. Unfortunately the w</description>

                    <description>our third day of the multisport was all biking. we left around 9 for a 30 minute drive to Chiang Dou. Once in Chiang Dou we jumped on our bikes  oh sore butt still and started off. Again beautiful scenery. We biked to a hot spring a small village where Shelly was caught with a banana cigar and then to the Chiang Dou caves. Chiang Dou mountain is the 3rd tallest mountain in Thialand. we toured t</description>

We left one of our suitcases each at the hotel as we will be coming back to Chiang Mai and staying at the same place next week. The van took us about 30 minutes out of Chiang Mai and then we got on our bikes. It39s a mountain bike. We drove thru the country side stopping in little villages along the ro</description>

                    <description>our flight to Chiang Mai was uneventful. They did serve us a snack on a 1 hour flight I was impressed with the service of Thai Air. We got to our hotel and it is wonderful. It over looks the river and has a salt water endless pool with a swim up bar. The room is large and the bath room has a waterfall in it.we went into Chiang Mai for dinner and ate on the river at a local resaurant that the hote</description>

                    <description>We made it into bangkok and checked in at our hotel. This hotel is grand. I can39t believe we got it for the price and it was so close to where New Year39s eve was going to be celebrated. We had time to rest before our night Illuminated Bangkok tour. Our guide picked us up and we drove via taxis and tuk tuks to see the night lights of Bangkok. We ate a local dinner at out door stall restau</description>

                    <description>Today we slept in a bit then had a great breakfast at the hotel. We decided at breakfast to see how much it would cost for the car back to Bangkok instead of the train. it wasn39t too bad and would get us in several hours before the train and would be much more comfortable so we booked it. We were scared if the train was late and it seems everything here is late that we would miss our excu</description>

                    <description>From Bangkok we took a train to Kanchanaburi. This is where the bridge over River Kwai is located. Our train was interesting. It was a third class train  open air windows and definitely not exciting. The train ticket was only 3.50 each. The train was also an hour late. The train ride was about 3 hours. You did get to see a lot of the country side and a lot of stuff blew in on us.We got off the </description>

Our flights were long but good. We slept some and I watched 5 movies and read a really bad book. It was a real book and I left it on the plane. Today we catch a train to the Bridge of the River Kwai.
