Stray adventure

Where do I start? This 9 day trip was amazingggggg :)

It all started at the Bangkok office meeting everyone and going to the train station for our train the Chiangmai. Everyone I went with were amazing complete mix of ages which made it so funny :) I made friends with an Ozzy couple straight away and we decided to share a room that night in Sukothai which was our first stop before Chiangmai.

The train was SOMETHING else that's for sure. Right I think it's like100 baht more, get a sleep on the train because OMG that journey is long and uncomfortable and we only travelled half way :) we arrived in Sukothai was is a little town which used to be the capital of Thailand. There wasn't much to do there but we all hired bikes and rode round a historic park. It's beautiful I think everyone else enjoyed it a little too much because me riding a bike is something to see, rode into a Tuk Tuk more than 1 time.

After waking up we went to chiang mai but now on bus that was also an experience because it was over booked so we all had to shit on the floor in the aisle :) you have to love Asia health and safety?!!!! I think not. After 12hrs combined over the last 2 days we arrived in Chiangmai in the evening just in time for us to walk around and find cheap accommodation, it back fired because it was Chinese new years eve....busy!!!! So we found a place just for 1 night and went out and got wasted....first experience of a bucket :) fun experience to say the least.
This was our own and only free day so we explored the city, went to a female prison and got a Thai massage sounds strange but so interesting! That night we moved into a hostel me and the couple this is, Elle and Shane. We met a lovely Thai girl which was great because she took us for dinner and showed us things you would see as a tourist. I also treated myself and got a tattoo :) safe mum I promise!

We then travelled another 6 hours to the White temple which I have beautiful pictures of already on facebook. You had to be covered to temples so that why I am dressed in White sheet because my short shorts and singlet was that great a look. After the 6 hours we arrived at a Chiang Kong which is the village in Thai by the river which is the border to Laos. Shane and Elle got horrific food poisoning that night so I can't say sleep was fab but I did feel awful for them. By the way yes I am eating Thai food but keeping it simple so touch wood I haven't been ill yet.

Crossed the river the next morning in a slow boat and 2 minutes later we were in Laos I no amazing right :) we had to sort everything out with our visa which took a while but then we walked to our big orange bus for the first time :)
That day we visited a hill tribe which was prob one of my fav things it was so interesting to see :) rocked at a Chinese disco and got massages.

We entered Luang Prabang about 4 that afternoon. It was a beautiful place :) me and Elle went to the street Market where there were beautiful things. I got some comfy pants but really want to get a rucksack and bed cover before I return home.that night we went to an amazing bar called Utopia :) famous for the view, it over looked the river. I met the next lot of people I would be sharing the bus with because my old bus was hopping off but I didn't have time.

Early start to Vang Vieng that morning :( this is where I had choosing to do my 4 day hop of. We arrived at 2pm and checked into hostels I stayed alone because I found a cheap place called Spicy Laos. By 3pm we were in the bars on the river!!! Bring on tubing!!!! That's where my memory stops I haven't a clue what happened but I know I'm still alive just. Got lumps and bumps but hey stuff happens when your having fun :)
Woke up hanging I felt awful. Awful sleep, bitten to death had the person next to me be sick in the night and the hostel was horrid please no one stay there. So after this I decided I didnt want to live like I was in Magaluf for 4 days and got back on the bus. Yes hilarious I know but I was too hungover for it all.

I'm now sat in Bangkok waiting to check into my hostel. After a 10hr over night bus sharing a seat because they over booked AGAIN I am shattered and just want to go sleep. Covered in dirt in clothes from yesterday hair on top of head and haven't eat in 2 days o Asia I love you :)

Amazing trip just glad I got it all out the way before the fam arrive! Bet the next 3 weeks are going to be a little different!
