Chiang Mai

Train was good and clean. One of the attendants sorts out your bed. Clean sheets and a blanket. About the only problem is the number of bloody tourists, some of whom behave like adolescent school kids on their first trip.
Having said that, we were the oldest backpackers on the train..

We had the 'fidget', who spent almost an hour blocking the gangway pulling stuff out of her rucksack, then putting it back, while acting surprised when people wanted to pass.

Mike was forced to ask a group of them to 'keep the noise down' when the rest of the carriage was trying to sleep. He was very polite, but did growl a bit...

Then we had the 'grazers'. Two people who should have known better!!
How many zips and crunchy packets are there in the world/universe that contain food/munching items? Not kidding this went on for 2 hours!!!

To top it all the lights didn't go out till 0230 to be then back on at 0515 with the tea/coffee lady selling her drinks walking up and down the aisle, shouting, nay screaming her wares.  Oh and I forgot to mention the automatic doors opening and shutting every time the loo was used.

Apart from that saw a great sunrise over the jungle.

Found a gem of a place to stay. More of that later...

Not going to put any photos on till next post. So there......
