Comment on Songkran in Chiang Mai
We are Gareth and Melissa - two twentysomethings (for at least a few more months) who are taking a three month sabbatical from the following:

- Bad weather
- Credit crunch
- North east
- Stress
- Sobriety
- Reality TV shows

To that end, we will be embarking on a tour of SE Asia beginning mid Feb 2009 and we reckon we will be visiting Thailand, Malaysian Borneo, Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos.
