3 weeks holiday in Asia report 7

Back in Bangkok! Hot steamy, crowded and a mix of everything. Today we've been browsing China Town, very much to buy it's a pity we don't have a shop of some kind in Sweden. We travelled ,mostly by boat on the big river that floats through the city. Cheap and fast and sometimes easy to avoid paying the fee! Now we are going to the tailor to try out our 12 shirts, 6 for Lars and 6 for me. That will be interesting. Tonight there is a farewell party for the group we've been travelling with. Secret restaurant, hopefully not to boring and not so far away! Tomorrow we will spend our last bath in China Town it is really quite entertaining to walk there.

Now we're in paradise! Sun, warm water, sand, cold beer and a king size bed. Food is good. We are red like cooked crabs so tomorrow we will just sunbath the behinds. Books is consumed in a frightening speed so perhaps I will be without litterateur before we go back to Bangkok. There is not much to do besides bathing and enjoying the sun. The other tourists on the island are like a mixed candy-bag; red Englishmen, fat Americans and Germans, wealthy young Japanese and all other types of mankind of the world except Eskimo's. We are staying here for two more days if nothing exceptional takes place you won't here from us until we're back in Bangkok.

In northern Thailand, ie Chiang Rai. We live at the Diamond Park Inn it's not half as fancy as that sounds! But good beer in the minibar only cost 90 baht (~20 kr) and hot water in the shower makes living very nice. Sleep is a problem for M but yesterday a lady in our group gave me a sleeping pill so today I'm myself again. L sleeeps all the time everywhere no matter what. Sometimes life is unfair. Today we went on a elephant riding tour through the hilly jungle. The elephants were like Volvo BM machines, going up every slippery path without any stops, they had self-controlled water and food supply along the way. We ate lunch in a tribe family's livingroom ie a mat on their terrass on the meny was among ateable things snake and wormpate. It looked like a shed but they had a solar panel outside and of course a TV! We cannot write any further today due to considerable need of Thai-beer and food.
