London - Bangkok

---

Hey! Olivia here! (please excuse grammer and spelling mistakes, Matt has gone for a massarge)

We have arived!

The flight was not bad at all! Matt slept the whole time apart from eating that is! and i managed to watch a film or two eat and listen to coldplay and read the letter helen wrote.

Well we have been in Bangkok for the last two days - and i am so ready to leave! Dont get me wrong its a kewl place to be but if the wind changes direction you get a wiff of poo up ur nostral and the people, well you cant trust them and jsut hassel you all the time. We diceded not to book a place for the first night and read up on the plane and decided when we got here. We decided on a location not far from backpakers central ko Samui and i think we made a good choice! The actual Ko Samui road was manic and was nice to be a little walk away! The room is jsut a box with a double bed, a curtian and some thing kind of dressing table shape. We have been sharing a bathroom and shower with our neighbours and its not as bad as i had first imaged! when they said sharing a bathroom i was thnking 'oh i couldnt possibly!'. We took a walk to see a budhist temple - Matt killed a fly with his new havanas and asked me if that was wrong!? - he would never make monkhood! after seeing the temple and palace where the king and queen lived we booked our 14 hour train up to chang mai and our three day treaking! (we leave for that tonight) i have no idea what i have let myself in for! we get to ride elephants 'yay', and go on bamboo rafts down rapids! After booking we went to go see an open top sky view bar right in the bussiness capital! - was a nightmer with traffic! and i mean nightmer! it took us 4 hour round trip and the bar wasnt even open due to the rain! Their traffic system sucks - little men waving sticks or lights that take half an hour to change - rediculous!

I will add some pics when we have some more right now we have been fairly lazy when it come to photography!

Love you all

Liv & Matt

Good luck!
Enjoy your adventure! Was just wondering how much the train costs from Bangkok to Chiang Mai?
