Had my first genuine Thai experience yesterday when I visited a temple out of Changmai and was literally the only westerner there, starving hungry I asked a woman who was handing out food if I could buy some as there were no vendors around (a rare thing in Thailand!). She said no, it was free and invited me to eat with her family who were there for a ceremony to initiate her nephew into the monkhood. Nor was the only one who spoke english so had to translate all of the questions between myself and her family. At the end of the day there was no transport back to Changmai so I decided to start walking in what I thought was the right direction. It turned out I was actually going completely the opposite direction so I ended up hitching a lift to the main road and then catching a taxi back to the city...a bit of an interesting day all in all.
Today I flew down to Phuket which is absolutely beautiful though I probably won't stay long as it is full of package tourists and is very expensive. Also my bed is like a rock!
