Thailand: jungle, beaches and the new masterchef....

Posted by bigtrip09 | 16th November 2009

Rowan's last blog left us on the Cambodian border, enjoying a gentle pace of life, before launching ourselves into the mayhem of Bangkok. We threw ourselves into this hectic city, before beating a retreat to Chiang Mai, in northern Thailand, for a week of trekking amongst very peaceful hills. By a wonderful coincidence, we visited Chiang Mai at the same time as the Loi Krathong festival which is celebrated for three days running with fireworks and lanterns. Along with experiencing city and hill-village life, we have also had a good dose of ancient Thai culture at the Sukhothai ruins, as well as squeezing in several days of clear seas and sandy beaches on Koh Chang island. The time here has been a fantastic taster of the range of activities and experiences Thailand can offer, and we would thoroughly recommend them to you!
