Day 2

Just a quick update before bed (Sara is already in bed!!). Today entailed a late wake up after our flight yesterday. After our late start we went for a long walk around the city followed by dim sum for lunch near Democracy Monument, which was nice (as they say in the Fast Show!). We followed on from this with a visit to a couple of temples (including a 50m high buddha which is supposed to be the tallest gold buddha in the world apparently), then to the tourist information offices to sort out our next few days - We've now got a couple more days around Bangkok, before a day trip to see the Bridge over the River Kwai, followed by an overnight train to Chang Mai for a few days. From there we'll probably be looking to visit a few places in the north west like Pai (flooding permitting as we've heard there's some floods at the moment!!), then look to plan our route on to Chang Rai and into Laos.

Sorry it's not as informative as Sara's updates, but hey ho!

Over and out.
