Day 483 – Thai time
A slow day today – sadly we got some bad sleep due to noisy neighbours and maybe a slight hangover We doze until hunger strikes Connected to the hotel is Café Velodome – COFFEE, All Day Breakfast, Bakery, Gelato so we take the opportunity for an easy meal Back up to the room for a…

Day 482 – Cruising the Chao Phraya
We manage to get about 12 hours of sleep – very, very needed! With some hotel coffee, we chill in bed for a few hours before considering getting ready and out for food We take the route beside the canal and spot a few more monitor lizards lounging – one is even mischievously poking out…

Day 481 – 18 hours later
Not long after we get up in the air, dinner is being served Dave goes for the pork noodles and Daisy the stewed beef The flight is almost entirely in the dark so we try a little to get some rest, though this is nearly an impossible task for poor Dave Nevertheless, we get to…

Day 264 – 21 hours of daylight

A bit of a late start, we grab a couple of cappuccinos from Café PaMa (downstairs) We get a Grab taxi over to Pad Thai Kratong Thong for some lunch Turns out, Dave’s put in the wrong address and we end up outside Baan ThaTien – so, we stroll around the block, past the outside…

Day 261 – Three nights in Bangkok
Nice hotel, but sadly has the world’s loudest air conditioner – louder than the roadworks outside – so not a great sleep We head to Hanna Restaurant & Coffee Shop for a bacon panini and eggs Benedict (they have HP sauce ????) We grab a little local red taxi to the airport about 20 mins…

Day 260 – Last day in North Thailand, for now
Sleeping on the floor didn’t seem to do us too many favours but it wasn’t a terrible sleep all in all We are ready and check out around 11:30am; somehow – we have literally no idea – Daisy manages to get a bee in her Jesus slippers and gets stung on the bottom of her…

Day 259 – Why are there no pie shops in Pai?
Today, we are up around 9:30am and venture to breakfast early – it pays off as they’re far more stocked than the day before We have some pancakes with maple syrup as well as some chicken green curry After, we get back to the room to prepare for checking out; we’ve booked another place in…

Day 258 – Cheeky bit of Pai
A bit of a better start to the day than yesterday ???? We head over for breakfast: it’s a feast of fresh breads, fresh fruits, a vast selection of fresh juices and even a Thai red curry Whilst enjoying breakfast we spot a variety of wildlife around us, a couple of frogs on each others…
