Chiang Mai

So our last day in Bangkok, we visited the Grand Palace which certainly lived up to its name. Everything was gold, red and glittery or patterned.



We had to cover up our shoulders and legs and Mel wore leggings, however because these were tight and too 'sexy sexy' we were told she couldn't go in. So she had to borrow some material to wrap around her waist.

 

It was clearly tourist season as there were a ridiculous amount of Chinese people who wandered around slowly and we soon become quite impatient. The heat was unbearable but we think this was because it wanted to rain and it sure did. 


Our 'VIP' bus arrived at 6 and was not dissimilar to a normal bus. The 10 hour journey went relatively quickly, however I only managed to get 1 hours sleep. On arrival to Chiang Mai, we were picked up by a taxi who to us to, what the travel agent described as lovely hostels, 'luxury'.


We are now awake after a 6 hour sleep and are heading to the hospital to check out Mel's infected/swollen foot.

Bye x
