So. It's been a while since I wrote my last blog, so felt it was about time I updated the people back home a bit. I'll try doing it in english since I have meat quite a few people while traveling who says they want to read my blog.
Anyways, I flew to Bangkok 1th of March and landed late in the evening. Tok a cab to Kaohsan Road and started looking for a cheap hostel. It wa suprisingly har to find a room. Apperently it's high season down her now, so the cheapest rooms was taken, so I ended up paying 250B (45kr) pr. night. When I got up the next day I cheacked out of the hotel and went to a touristinfo office. They sold me a trip to Chiang Mai, so I took a sleepertrain the same evening and after 15hours I arrived at my destination.
Got picked up by a guy from the hotell I was staying at and spent the day wandering around in the city. If you are going the Chiang Mai, you got to stop by the night-market. I was walking for 2 hours and didn't see the same place twice before I got stranded in a bar.
The following day I got up at about 8 o'clock and a went into the jungel. I was in a group with three french girls and two australian girls and we were going to stay in the jungel for two days and one night.
After trekking for about two hours we got to a small village were we was going to spend the night. The village was built by the tribe who lives there, and they live what we would call a simpel life. Get the food from the jungel and there is no money involved, but since they got a visit from tourist they had some beers we could buy and our guide made us dinner. The best food I have had this far. Ended up at haveing a very nice night in the jungel.
The beds wasn't to good so we woke up early the next morning. Started trekking again and after 40min we came to this amazing waterfall. The water was a bit cold, but since the weather is so hot that was a good thing. There was also fishes there who came nibbeling at your feet if you stood still.
After the waterfall we walked for about one hour and came back to the road, jumped in the back off a pickup and drowe to a place were we did elephant-riding. Cool thing to do. A bit uneventfull, but worth the while.
The last thing we did was bamboo rafting. It is exactly what it sounds like, you sit on a reft made of bamboo, end you raft down a river. Got very wet, but had a good time.
Later the same day I took a 9 hour bussride back to Bangkok. It was suposed to be a bus with A/C, but the A/C stopped working after 1 hour, and we couldn't open the windows. That was a long 9 hours.
I came to Bankok 06:00 and went to the hotel were I was supposed to meet up with the GAP group later the same day. The GAP group is the group I'm going to travel with through Kambodia, Vietnam and Laos. I don't like Bangkok to much, I feel it is to many tourists there, and to many street-salesmenn so I don't think I will be spending alot of time there later.
Right now I'm in Kambodia and I'm going to Vietnam tomorrow. Have fallen a bit behind on my blogging, but since I have writen so much allready I'll write about Kambodia in a couple of days.
