UMWHC come to Thailand

After Cambodia I returned to Bangkok as two friends who I played hockey with and went to Uni with were visiting. Vic and Justine arrived on Saturday and on Sunday we flew up to Chiang Mai to met all my TEFL friends and celebrate Songkran. Songkran is Thai New Year and one massive water flight. We spent 2 fantastic days being soaking wet and squirting people with water! We purchased some great water guns ready to take on the fight!

One day in Chiang Mai we escaped the mayhem and had a day trip to Chiang Rai to see the white temple. We also saw the black house, which was very spooky and creepy. There where snakes and owls in the grounds and weird bones and things.

We then went on to the boarder of Thailand with Myanmar (Burma). Hanisha need to do a visa run and we thought we would get an extra stamp in our passport so ventured across the boarder to check out a different country. We where literally there for 3 mins and headed back as the Burmese were also taking part in Songkran and wanted to soak us!

Next stop was the Golden Triangle. This is on the Mekong River at the most north point of Thailand where the boarder meets Laos and Myanmar. it was cool to be able to see all three countries at once. After a quick bite to eat it was time to head back to Chiang Mai as it would take us a good couple of hours.

Throughout the few days in Chiang Mai I made the girls try some great Thai food, including Pad Thai. I also took them back to Lert Ros a fantastic street food restaurant that I went to with my family a few weeks previously. We also had an awesome drunken night out to Zoe in the Yellow, a cool compilation of bars and dance floors!
