Today we are travelling from Chiang Mai to Ko Samui, which involves two flights and plenty of waiting in airports, so it gives me a great opportunity to write my next blog post. My last post ended when we arrived into Chiang Mai by train on Monday afternoon and since then we've had three amazing days in the jungle.

We got picked up from the train station and were taken to our first guesthouse, MD House. This was in the old town within the surrounds of the moat, so after having some English style lunch in an Irish Bar (you've got to do it at least once while on holiday!) we went for a walk around to see what the old town had to offer. We seemed to have poorly timed this with the end of the school day as the streets were filled with children in school uniform clogging up the pavements and driving around on scooters. Everyone seems to drive a scooter here and every corner you turn there is a 'scooter park' full of them. We didn't really see much within the old town apart from a couple of small temples, lots of small random shops and a few schools.
