Thailand - Chiang Mai (13 - 17 March)

Ah, Chiang Mai, Caz has been looking forward to it after a few hot tips from RBA folk
Dossed around in the garden of our guesthouse, going out eating random food, snooping round a few Buddhist temples, went to a Thai cookery school.
- Caz had a bone-crunching Thai massage and survived, thought she has since shrunk by about eight inches, walks only on her heels and appears to have lost the ability to look.
- Went to a big temple on top of a hill and pretended that we were artists or something by sketching it. Drew a fair bit of interest from passing tourists, locals and, er monks. Some hid their dismay very well, others lied very well and praised our artistic efforts.
- Rory ate his first (and perhaps last) cream horn in Thailand. It was slightly thinner than the English version, and topped with hundreds and thousands, but has a superior taste and cream content to those found in supermarkets back home. Mmmm.....
After a long wait, we have both succumbed to a bit of food poisoning. Don't know whether it was the street food stalls, our own cooking at the cooking school or (god forbid!) the cream horns.

Cream horns in Thailand? My my, whatever next? If you're lucky, you might be able to play a Buddhist Arm Trumpet, or even partake in a spot of Seize The Chair with a grizzled old monk.

Love the blog - I've just drifted off to the other side of the world for a few minutes, so thanks for that! Sounds fantastic! Here it keeps snowing.
