So the last few days in chiange mai we spent at the zoo! which was huge, and we spent ages wandering around, and almost got lost in the aviary! the last day we we up this mountain to a Temple, which had amazing views of the city, we just sat ther for a few hours reading our books which was nice. we the had our last meal at our favourite street side 'restaurant' and i had some very nice pad thai.
we were in 1st class for the night train to bangkok, we ad to compartment which could be joined with a door, it was quite comfy but i found it very hard to sleep with all the noise etc. we arrived in bangkok at about 7am, and went to a park that we hadn't been to yet, it was nice, but it was very stuffy compared to up north. so we went to the nice air conditioned shopping mall and cinema, and watched two films in a row!! Madagascar 2 and yes man. but we were tired so it was good to not do much.
we then said good bye to bangkok, which was nice, and got another night train, this time in 2nd class down to surat thani. I slept better, probabkly cos i was sooo tired. we arrived at6.30ish this morning, had a bus journey, a long ferry ride and we arrived in ko samui!!
its boiling here, we have two nice little bungalow beach shack things right by the beach. the sea is very warm, it didn't take us long to get in!
we are here for a few days, the maybe off to one of the smaller islands, ko pang ngan. we have no other plans as yet, but we will probably head off west soon, maybe to phucket and phi phi.
hope you are all well!

You've done an awful lot of travelling in the last couple of days, not to mention the last couple of weeks. Will the next few days on the beach be restful? I hope so - fun too of course. How are you getting on with the heat, too?
ReplyDeleteIsn't it about time we saw some photos, or is this too tricky even for you techno-nomads?
Enjoy yourselves anyway, and thanks for the posts.
Dad.
