Day 1007 – Bangkok – Chiang Mai, Thailand

Day 1007 – 10th March 2008 +7:00 GMT

An early morning up before 6am, had breakfast in the hotel and then caught a taxi to the train station. Our train left at 8:30am and we were in second class with air conditioning.

The cost for the trip was a little over £8 and this included all the meals on the train. The journey took 12 hours and we got dinner and two other snack meals, we also had several drinks so it was quite a bargain. We arrived at Chiang Mai at 8:30pm and got a Taxi (which here are all converted trucks with seating in the back) to our hotel. We checked in and found we had a large room with a good view of the night market.

We wandered around and took a look at the market and got some food and a beer.
