So, we've been hanging around Chiang Mai/our hotel for the past 8 hours waiting for our bus to Bangkok. Slightly curious as to what Bangkok will have to offer (asides from McDonalds/KFCs/Starbucks). We've managed to find another good hotel, again a little further from the central, but that's not necessarily a bad thing when I've heard some areas being described as a Zoo..

We've shopped more in the Night Bazaar/boutiques here, there is actually *no* space left in our bags! I'm sure we'll appreciate the buys once back in our expensive hometown..

Chiang Mai has been sweet, a nice first stop. I'm sure anything will soften the blow for what is to come in Thailand.

We've gone for the lazy-boy massage chair 1st class bus to Bangkok, it's always nice to upgrade for an extra couple of quid, right? :)
