Curried Elephant

1017748.jpgFirst post from our short travels around Thailand. We are in Chiang Mai at the mo, having an early night before our trek tomorrow. Not a great deal has happened since arriving in Thailand – we lost our passports, been fitted for a suit, we found our passports again, spent a years wages on king prawns in a nice restaurant to celebrate, seen lots of temples, photographed friendly monks being eaten by dragons, and eaten lots and lots of curry (which is always a good thing).
The posh hotel booked for us by Godda, Shaun and Rhys was bloody excellent. Our room (on the ’superior’ floor – ive always suspected as much) was excellent, and included rose petals formed into a giant heart shape on our bed in a not-as-tacky-as-it-sounds sort of way. Plus they are looking after our ten tons of luggage for free while we bugger about Thailand with only a small bag each to carry (the hotel, rather than the petals are looking after our stuff – never did trust petals with expensive musical equipment). Always wanted to travel light.
So its the predictable but fun 3 day trek for us starting tomorrow, then we will begin our journey back down south, taking a couple of weeks to do so.
More about the trek on our return…
