Sawaa dii kha (hello)!
Just a quick one as i've left the notebook at the guest house & am typing on my iTouch which is hard work, please excuse any typos.
It's 4.15 here and I've just had a late lunch - was looking for a particular place, on Ben's advice and was too stubborn to hail a tuk-tuk, so walked round in circles for an hour or so. I'm happy to report that it was worth it though! I do have lots and lots to say about Bangkok and my sleeper train journey, but that'll have to wait for my next update with netbook, hopefully dinnertime. Everything is going well so far, people are very friendly & helpful, and there are loads and loads of Westerners so you feel safe in the knowledge that it's a well-padded, well-worn travelling route. Am hopefully going on a 2-day trek tomorrow which includes bamboo rafting, elephants, hot springs & other fun activities. It's very very hot here so I'll probably come back mahogany-coloured (that is, reddish brown). Just going to get my breath back, before launching myself back into the heat & bustle of Chiang Mai! Hope you're all well. Until later, Lou xxx
I'm glad you like Chang Mai. How was the Burmese style northern Thai curry? If you do the two day trek you should see if you can do it with the guide we had. I think he's called "Bee" at the Libra guest house. Also, if you get a chance it's worth having a look round the night market. You can buy fried beatles there! mmmmm....

Hey, I'm doing the trek tomorrow but I don't think it's Bee doing it - we met him but another guy gave us the briefing tonight. Nevermind - he seems nice too. I didn't have the Burmese curry sorry, the pad thai and spring rolls were amazing though. And at one point Ratana had to go and pick up her daughter and she left me there alone in the cafe, I can't imagine anyone in England being that trusting! No beetles for Lou please :(
