Yet another change of plans....

Well, today's the day I'm supposed to be leaving for Laos, but I've decided to scrap those plans. Heading to Laos would involve a 3 day trip there (a 7 hour bus ride to the border, and 2 days on the slow boat down the Mekong), then I'd only have 5 days to see the country before having to fly back to Bangkok. Decided that all just sounded to rushed, so instead I'm saving Laos for another time.

At the moment, I'm in Chaing Mai. Came in from the Elephant Park to do a little sightseeing, and I'm heading back to the park Monday morning. Not sure how much longer I'll be staying there. It's been two & a half weeks so far and I've loved every minute of it. The people there are amazing, the elephants provide hours of entertainment, as do the dogs, cats & cows.

So right now, the plan is to stay at the park for a bit longer (probably no more than a week), then take a sleeper train down to Bangkok & find my way to Cambodia. I'll keep you posted! :)
