Songkran


wow...Songkran was incredible! The Thais sure know how to party, one giant water fight lasting about three days!! Met some amazing people over water fights who have given me loads of tips on where to go/ what to see. I am leaving for Chiang Mai tonight with three of them on the sleeper train which apparently is a fantastic journey. Sampled the Thai whiskey which was less than fantastic however!

Yesterday I did the tourist trail and saw the Grand Palace. King Rama 1 who built it has basically taken the best bits of countries all over the world and copied them into his palace, we saw the emerald buddha and then onto Wat Pho where after a lot of searching and being drenched we eventually found the reclining buddha. So glad I didn't miss the night market, the atmosphere is electric!
