Sleeper trains

Our next destination was Chiang Mai, northern Thailand. This involved: a taxi, a ferry, a bus, a taxi, 10 hours on a train to Bangkok, 16 hours on another train to Chiang Mai, then a taxi... 2 sleeper trains in a row seemed like a good idea at the time of booking it, and, actually wasn't as bad as it sounds. Ears plugs have transformed my life.

We had about 6 hours to kill in Bangkok and I'm afraid to say we had a bit of a Western splurge. We started in Starbucks for a cuppa, onto Burger King for lunch, then McDonalds (for the free wifi, of course). After this, we were re-fuelled ready for another 3 weeks away from such culinary delights.
