the journey begins.....


So here I am finally in Thailand, beginning my craziest journey yet!! It's been a mad few days and bloody tiring.
Arrived in Bangkok on 20th November at 5am and got taken to our guest house which was quite nice. The next day we see Bangkok properly and to be honest me and Amy didnt like it. The street we had to walk down to get to the station absolutely stank, like seriously bad and they sold live toads and gross fish in the street, ewww!! Found our way to the shops in Siam and it was a mission, the place was so big and busy!! We got plenty of TukTuks though which are fun but they drive like bloody maniacs out here!!
Booked to go on a jungle trek in a few days which includes alot of walking, living with a tribe, washing in a waterfall and having elephant ride through the mountains, how cool but im crapping it coz there will be loads of bugs :(


Our 2nd day in Bangkok got worse, my phone didnt work so had to buy another one, and me and Amy almost missed our coach to Chiang Mai, we were lost and no one knew where to take us and we were already 45mins late, ended up bursting into tears and some Thai man helped us.
We just caught the coach which we were on for 10hours up to Chiang Mai (which is where I am now) we went out last night to see the light festival which was sooooooo cool!!


There was a massive parade going on and fireworks going off everywhere and everyone lets off lanterns into the sky, the sky was full of them, looked amazing, tried to get pics but they dont show what it was like.



Me and Aim have been knackered alot coz of the travelling, might hit a club tonight, not that sunny in the north though so still pale as anything :( cant wait to get on the sunny islands and sunbathe.
Missing loads of people though, added some pics, keep in touch and i will update again soon xx
