The driver from the Libra Guest House (best Hostel ever!!!) picks us up early and we meet up with Elsa and Aubrey. Of coarse Elsa has braided blond braids into her blond head! We put our luggage in our rooms and take with us only the essentials as we will be trekking through the jungle for two days! We hop in the back of a covered truck, like th...

Back in Thailand and back in Bangkok which is becoming my home away from home on this trip. Spent another night on the Khaosan road and had a pretty decent time this time around drinking with various brits. This time I'm off to the North of Thailand - to Chiang Mai. My theories concerning bus drivers being concerned about their own safety and th...

Hey everyone!!! So we were originally going to spend more time in north eastern Thailand but decided it was best to just head straight to one of our main destinations, Chiang Mai. We spent 20 hours on sitting trains to get here and then were greeted by a person at the train station who had a sign with the name of the guest house we wanted to sta...

We arrived in Chiang Mai and checked into our guesthouse. After shopping around for the best deal we booked a 3 day trek through the jungle departing the nex...

We checked into the Libra guest house again which is really nice and cheap, only 200 bt which is about 2.50 for the two of us. The next day went on a 3 day trek through the...

After a brief stay back in Bnagkok, we boarded the overnight bus to head to Chiang Mai in the north of Thailand. Once again, the bus was packed beyond full capacity and unfortunately Kate and I were unable to sit together. So an Israeli guy got to reap the benefits of Kate's DVD player while I sat next to a chatty Canadian who was debating which...

Sorry for not updating website, but we¡¦ve both been sick and therefore indisposed for the last few days. Marcus only missed a few days of driving. I missed a temple I¡¦d really been wanting to see. f¼ Oh well, being sick has been great for keeping our budget. Where were we? Chiang Mai, the capital of the north. What can I say? I didn¡¦t like it...
