Two nights in Bangkok

Well, this is it - the start of our journey. We are writing this in an internet cafe in Chiang Mai having spent the first two days of our travels in Bangkok. What can we say about Bangkok - it was everything we had been told - and more!!! Bob did a Red Light run with 350 other hashers and has learnt several new tricks with ping pong balls!! We had a whistle stop tour of the temples of Bangkok and saw more buddhas than you can shake a stick at, so to speak!! We then found our way to Noriega's Bar where the Red Light Run started - great fun on the Skytrain which was fast and efficient.

Then on to Chiang Mai via the new Bangkok Airport - very smart and very big!! The hotel in Chiang Mai (Amari Rincome) is wonderful - by the pool this morning for a bit of rest and relaxation and then the joys of the Red Dress Run in the afternoon. Two and a half thousand hashers in red dresses running round the streets of Chiang Mai is a sight to behold, especially for the locals who wondered what on earth was happening. A great party afterwards in the park saw lots of beer consumed (no change there then!!!).
