Angkhang Nature Resort Hotel Chiang Mai

... I don't seem to have the motivation for that right now. Instead I seem to have got myself into a routine during the day of generally reading, snoozing and aimlessly wandering around, maybe even throw in a massage if I am feeling adventurous (before anyone asks: a genuine, bonafide... er... 'traditional' massage, which seems to be a specialty round here); and then after dark getting rather drunk, playing pool and dancing at one of the many last night spots.<br>I have got ...

... and a friendly pat inside the enclosure itself.<br> <br>Tiger Kingdom offers a similar choice to a McDonald&#8217;s menu: Small, Medium or Large. All options however, come with a complementary waver to sign stating that it is only your own fault if you get eaten. You then get a number and sit in a chair, kind of like you do at Argos as you wait for your new ironing board cover. The twinge of nerves I feel is more like the doctors surgery than Argos though. Flashbacks to the ...

... by getting tucked up by a taxi driver who over charged us but its ok, we live and learn. The weather got progressively worse the further up the mountain we got, rain and low cloud. No matter we had a nice time exploring the Temple and LJ had more fun trying to count the 306 steps upto the temple (she lost count on the way up and forgot halfway down as I stopped to take photos).<br>With a drifting mist as we wandered around the temple it made it feel even more mystical (not ...

... language. My meeting with them somewhat blew me away. First they were a little hesitant, but when I mentioned Naing Ko Ko was my friend I was received very warmly. A man (who&#8217;s name shall remain anonymous) sat opposite me and for two hours explained how the AAPP was formed. He talked openly about his years in a Burmese prison, the torture he endured, how he gave away his meals in payment to learn English, and how he used every opportunity to learn ...

... selves in the water and we swam around in the blue green waterfall upstream. Our trainers laid our a beautiful Thai picnic for us when we came back on banana leaves on the rock and we ate fried chicken and mangosteens (another delicious Thai fruit that tastes like fruit punch) and sticky rice and watched our elephants play in the water. Even when all the other elephants got out of the water boo pa was still laying down in the pool with his trunk stuck straight up the ...

... at the top of the mountain and hung around for a bit. Then we sloooooowly made our way down the mountain on the scooter because Hanan was afraid to drive fast. Little old grannies on their scooters were honking and passing us, but that didn't deter Hanan from his "slow and steady wins the race" philosophy. That night, we ate at an extremely expensive falafel restaurant and listened to the Israeli owner ream out the Thai manager for ...

... leaving them. it was really nice of them to understand that us three are on a budget and not on holiday like most of the others so looked for a cheap place where we could all eat that evening. settled for a japanese restaurant. it was funny eeing their expressions thinking "what this meal is only 2pounds" when ours was "oh my 2pounds... thats the most weve spent on one meal!!!" they were a good bunch of people and ill miss them!!

If you're lucky ;) <br><br>I'm also going to really struggle to watch the England v Russia European qualifier when we get there, so I hope that our fellow trekkers don't mind a bit of BBC World Service radio action! <br><br><br>Love to you all, <br><br><br>Al &amp; Katie xx
