My New Adventures

Is what my train to Chiang Mai was saying on a hill. Apparently there were more cars that usual an the engine was having issues. And then I was having issues when he train rolled backward and started picking up speed. It proceeded to act out "One step forward and two steps back" several times delaying arrival to Chiang Mai by several hours.

Pretty country side though.

I'm laying awake on the train to Chiang Mai at 4 in the morning. Upper bunk in an AC cabin. I passed out around 8 pm so it's really no surprise that I'm awake.

My stay in Bangkok was about 6 hours but it is amazing all the beautiful sites I saw. I visited the Grand Palace, three different Wat's and got scammed into a boat ride.

All the good pictures are going to have to get added later when I've got real Internet but it was beautiful. I can't stop raving about having Internet on my phone. It's like cheating. I love cheating. Also I can turn my phone into a mobile hot spot and connect on my laptop. I just did momentarily to test it but then used the laptop to charge my phone. It's beginning to be a bit of a trend. Worrying about keeping my phone charged. Just too many pictures to take and share!

And here is where I spent the night, in my little golden cage.
