Chiang Mai: Good Job I'm not a member of the RSPCA

---

I better start by explaining the title! The last couple of days we have been here we have seen animal exploitation at every turn. Elephants dragged around the bars so people can pay to feed them, also snake farms and monkey schools, all we be described and documented in a few days.

This is just a brief entry to let people know we are off trekking near the Myanmar (Burma) border for the next 3 days, so will be off the radar for a bit. Don't worry, we won't smoke too much opium (thats a joke before anyone emails!).

Also, its worth noting that the last entry, loads got cut off so it was only half there - I have since updated it so its worth a read. Last of the admin - I will be adding pics to all the stuff described over the last few days (ie, sleeper train etc), but for now, just form mental images!
