5/7/09 - 13/7/09, Northern Thailand

Before we go prattling on about Japan we thought we had better give Northern Thailand a mention. It had not been part of the original plan but it was well worth a visit (particularly Pai), and we tried a few new things when we were here:-

* 2x nights clubbing with the locals in Chiang Mai;
(quote of the night - "my wife pulled a ladyboy!")

* watching Muay Thai boxing;
(bit gruesome especially when one guy broke his ankle!)

* a sleepover with the Lahu tribe;
(introduced to a 55 year old "hermit" playboy!)

* 'bamboo' jungle lunch;
(took a wee bit of time while our guide chopped down the forest and
whittled it into bowls, cups and spoons!)

* and, then we finished off with an Elephant Ride;
(but thankfully not all the way to Bangkok as it is not as comfy as you might think and very scratchy!)

We were glad we added in Northern Thailand as it has some of the best bits that Thailand has to offer (did we mention Pai, it was lovely!)........ So, Japan......
