Didn't have much time for messing about in Bangkok, only three days and we flew out to Japan. So here's some of the highlights we crammed in;

• Flew into Bangkok (none of this bus rubbish, I'm too busy!)
• Went to Pantip Plaza to get E a camera.
• Saw UP in 3D. It's amazing.
• Had some dinner.
• E bought a camera in MBK Centre.
• Got my hair cut by a lovely ladyboy.
• Visited the Khao San Road. It's a kip.
• Seen Terminator Salvation. It's crap.
• Tried to go to Art Museum, but it was closed.
• Got rained on in Lumphini Park.
• E bought a handbag from a ladyboy named Jennifer.
• E sold me to the ladyboy.
• I am now Mr. Jennifer Ladboy
• That is all
• Look at my photos on Flickr. Do it!

Chiang Mai is a nice little town in the north of Thailand with lots of temples and wats. It's the ancient capital which you can tell from the remains of the massive walls and moat that encircles the Old City. We did a good bit of walking around looking at the temples – one of which contained a freaky life-like statue of a monk meditating, which I thought was real! We also had some really nice Thai food (I love a bit of Chiang Mai sausage…) and obvioulsy did the Funky Gibbon while we were there.

One of the main things I noticed walking around the town was how much street art, graffiti and stickers there were all over the town, which I thought was quite cool. I've been taking photos of different bits of designy stuff over the whole trip and I've been collecting them in a Flickr set – Design/Art/Graffiti/Type.

If you want to see the shots from Chiang Mai check em out on Flickr. Toodles!

As promised, here's some loverly photos from the day at the Flight of the Gibbon. Check 'em out on Flickr. I put some on Facespace too, if anyone has one of those. I hear the kids are all into it these days…

I didn't get to see any gibbons in Laos but I got a second chance in Thailand. OK, so I didn't actually see any in Chiang Mai, but I did hear some in the forest canopy while doing the Flying Gibbon. We set out around 6.30am for some fun swinging through the trees. There were zip lines, abseiling and rope bridges to caper along in the green treetops of the hills above Chiang Mai. Our guide, Dave, was a little hung-over from too much rice wine the night before, but zipping through the trees soon cheered him up. It was all over very quickly, but time flies when your hanging upside down from a tree…

I'll have some photos up on flickr soon, but if you get sick of looking at me doing the funky gibbon, then check this out.
