Ayutthaya & the night train

I'm writing this note a little later than normal as I've not had chance today as it's been pretty hectic. This morning we caught the bus to Ayutthaya - well, 2 cramped buses, 2 tuk tuks and 5 hours later we eventually arrived.

Ayutthaya used to be the capital of Thailand many years ago and has a few temples and ruins to look around. We went to a great Thai local restaurant earlier where they kept on bringing out dish after dish of food - tasted good!





Tonight we left for the night train to Chiang Mai - it was running a little late but we boarded about 8. We brought some booze on board and we've been playing cards, doing a few drinking games, talking (or at least attempting to talk) german for the german guys that are with us and generally just taking the piss out of the irish guys accent.. ;-)

We should arrive in Chiang Mai about 9ish tomorrow morning where I think we are stopping one night before heading out trekking into the jungle and up close to the Burmese border for a few days. Hopefully I will get chance to update before then, if not it may be a few days before you hear from me.
