58: Off to Chiang Mai

Thursday, January 12th, 2006

I’m at the Airport heading off to Chiang Mai in the north of Thailand in a few minutes (making use of the free internet access:-)

I was planning to get the overnight train up ti Chiang Mai and went to the train station two days ago but the night train was fuly booked for the next few days. I didn’t want to stay any longer in Bangkok so decided to book a flight with Bangkok Airways instead. Got a special web offer which cost me around 30 pounds. That’s expensive compared to the tran which is only about 12 pounds. It’s still cheap compared to European standards but I’m getting used to the low prices here in Thailand and feel a bit bad about wasting so “much” money on the trip up north. Apart from that the train journey would have been quite nice since I would have seen some of teh country side.. (it’s a 14h trip arriving around lunch time the next day)

Anyway not going by train now so never mind 😉
Talk soon from Chiang Mai..

57: Nonthabury Market

Another reminder for later..
Tok a boat trip to Nonthabury with the idea to go over to o Krep Island. It’s about 25km north of Bangok but the I arrived too late to catch a boat. (The only run in the morning)

Instead I went to the Market in Nonthabury which was quite interesting. Rather similar to the market I have seen in China.

Pictures to follow..

I left Koh Samui yesterday by plane and arrived back in Bangkok in the evening. It had rained quite a bit for the last few days and I got a little bored and restless (I wouldn't have had problems lying on ... [Continue reading this entry]
