Actually the above message is a bit of a cod. As we were writing it in Chiang Mai we were unable to post it there. So we put it on a floppy and brought it by train to Bangkok. Possibly one of the most-travelled Mudcat messages ever!

It's now our second day back in Big Smokey and it's Les's last full day before flying back to the UK. You bet his arms will be tired.

We visited 'Jim Thompson's House' yesterday (now don't say Jim Thompson weren't with 'ee last night) and did some shopping. Excellent festival clothing at about a quid and a half a piece. Looking weirder by the day. Get the info on Jim Thompson yourselves 'cos we're far too busy.

Now off to see the Emerald Buddha by khlong (canal) and nosey round the Royal Palace (as you do).
