My last day in Chiang Mai wasn’t the best. I’d started feeling a bit sick in the morning but by night time I was feeling very bad. I’d arranged to meet Poi and Kirsty from Noplacetobe but had to cancel last minute. As some of you will know I was in a bit of a [...]

Doi Suthep is possibly the most tiring temple that I have ever been to.  It’s set at the top of a very large hill (seriously, the taxi took nearly 1 hour to climb to the top) and even once you get out of the taxi you still have some more climbing to do. When we [...]

With us catching the night bus later that day we decided to sleep in a little later than usual. Emerging around 10:30am we packed our bags and dropped them off at reception before grabbing some breakfast. We didn’t have many plans for today so decided to take a little walk.
