Bangkok calling
Well let me tell ya its good to be back , we arrived safe and sound and the flight was much more enjoyable than the last one as John bennet was not flighing the plane (john im still looking for ya ) . Well first day and we have taken a long boat ride up the river to see all the temples and budda's then to the floating market wich was pretty cool i dont envy them people there f****n mental.
well we are staying at the same guess house that me and woodsy stayed at before (remember woodsy were we shared the doubble bed?) and guess what the girl freom the internet still remembered me as i walked pass she could not belive it and ran out side and gave me a hug (awwwww) how sweet is that .
We have desided to catch the local train up and stop off on our way to chang mia, Our first stop is Loupuri this is were the town is over run with monkeys i did not belive it but when we arrived i did as we was waling down the road and a monkey slide down a lamp post and nicked a bag off me then done a runner with it little b*****d, they were every were and aparently the people that live there treat them like the children so thay dont mind them being around but i have other views (lolol).
It is quite cool here as we are the only westeners here and not alot of the loacal can speak much english so it can be hard to explain to them what you want but at the same time it is fun and all ways ends up with a laugh, there is not that much to do here but there are some very cool ruins and temples but i just like the fact that it is not touristy!!!!!!!

Well next stop phistlok this is another seven hour train ride yippppe on a local train again hard wooden seats and no room to swing a cat but apart from that it was quite cool, as some of the scenery was beautiful and you get to see how the other side live and belive me im glad im not one of them. Well we arrived and this is another town that not many tourists go and aparently has a cool night market there, and also is the only place in thialand that has the remaining floating house's and the goverment has said that once they have sunk then there will be no more,Well we went to the night market to find that it has made way for a bridge (lololololol)but it still had some cool temles and stuff so all was not lost.

Finaly we have booked our next ticket to chang mia and guess what another nine hours on the train this place better be worth it as my arse is killing me (lolol) we have arrived and it is well cool much cleaner than Bangkok and much more freindly, we have booked up a thia cooking course and i am really lookng forward to it as it sould be fun, i am now a master thia chef hoo is hotty with a wokky and to add to that a master vegstable carver !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We went to the night bazzar and it was well good and the hi light of the everning was when i slipped over in front of loads of thia people and stacked it well bad emma was hyperventerlating with laughing but i didn't think it was that funny!!!!!!!!!!!!
We are not sure about doing the trecks yet as it looks so touristy every guest house runs one and and promises that they will take you to a place were know one has been before but i have my susspisions as there are 311 guest houses in Chang mia so i will let you work that one out so we might be goin to Pia to do one instead but emma has been ill with the same thing as you chris so we might miss it out and head for the islands we are not sure ye
thats all peeps xxxxxxxx ps still having a cool time and looking forward to the islands ada xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
