The Journey from Phuket to Chiang Mai Total time taken: 45 hours (no, I'm not joking..) Our minibus picked us up in Phuket at 1pm to take us back to Surut Thani (reluctant as we were to go back!) which took four hours. Then, instead of getting dropped at the train station where we had been assured we would end up, we were left at some travel age...

Okay, has there been anywhere in Thailand that we haven't loved and said that we wished we had more time to spend there? Chiang Mai is exactly the same. We found this little city, 2nd biggest in Thailand, to be as welcoming as anyplace else on the map. It is a bustling town and the streets are busy with tons of tuk-tuks (3-wheeled motorcylesque ...

Arrived at the Bangkok station at 6:45 am, 45 minutes late. Bangkok station is like the Wiesbaden Haupebanhof in Germany or the Nankai's Numba station in Osaka- the end of line station where all the trains pull in head first. It was a long walk from the last car to the main entrance, half of it under the shed. The waiting room was large with an ...

Just a quick entry for Facebookers to know I've arrived safely in Chiang Mai. Having managed to get this far I'm now about to run out of 'net time and am also starving, so will sign off on that cheery note! Have no fear, more edifying entries will follow....

Today was a really fun day.  Started off with giving my 2hr massage which went really well and I remembered just about all of it and Kelly was happy with what she received :-) After lunch I got my 2hr, which was a lovely way to spend an afternoon.  Then we had graduation.  There were lots of people finishing there courses today so...

Well today has been pretty busy.  The course was quiet intense and we had a little theory test.  10 multiple choice questions so not too hard. Tomorrow it's the level 1 practical exam, but it's a book-open job so not too hard.  Still going to gen up tonight, if I can stay awake. After school I headed out to find another guesthouse...

Chiang Mai people are not busy. Monks everywhere. we take a rest at one temple, chatting with a Taiwan girl.

November 14, 2006 Tuesday After the 14hr or so journey from Bangkok, we finally made it to Chiange Mai station around 9:30am. I actually got a really good sleep on the train. I woke a few times but had no trouble getting back to sleep. The girls on the top bunks didnt have such luck with the overhead light stopping them from going back to sleep ...

Afgelopen woensdag zijn wij in een van de tempels hier in Chiang Mai een monnik tegen het lijf gelopen en hebben een zeer interessant gesprek (monk chat)gehad. Zou niet zo moeilijk moeten zijn zou je denken, er lopen er genoeg. Valt vies tegen, want de gemiddelde monnik is nogal terughoudend. Deze monnik echter was zeer bereid om ons het een en ...
