Last night was the first really good night of sleep that we've had all trip. We slept until about 7 and woke up feeling refreshed for the day, which is good, because today was long. Rather than exploring the sights on our own, which is what we've ... Read more >

So, the 'express' train to north thailand was not as bad as expected. We had really cosy little bunkers one on top of the other but our conducter stole mine and made us sleep together so it was a fun but cramped experience! We LOVE Chang Mai, it is so ... Read more >

E: The day started with my first "tall American" moment. Honestly, I didn't expect to have any of these, as I'm a little short, if anything. But as I was walking through the kitchen doorway at our guesthouse, I racked my head on the 5'3"... Read more >

It’s been like a Muay Thai boxing match: Thailand’s germs and bugs 3, Justine’s immune system 0. I start to get better from one thing and something else unexpectedly knocks me out. It’s been frustrating, as I’ve seen little of Northern Thailand ... Read more >

The train to Chang Mai was the most interesting I have been on. There were no sleeping compartments and all the beds are along the sides of the compartments so in fact you are sharing a compartment with everyone. You have your own curtain to close ... Read more >

E: In the morning, Carrie, the Tanjas, and I hired a taxi (read: pick-up truck) to take us to the temple on the top of Doi Suthep, a small mountain outside of Chiang Mai. Haggling for a fair price was an interesting and frustrating experience, in ... Read more >
