Well thankfully we weren’t in Bangkok for new years though celebrations were cut short in Chiang Mai as well for precaution. We ended up searching out some waffles from one of the last street stalls then checking out the fireworks from our guest house window before heading to bed. :(

we headed to Chiang Rai today. seems like a pretty cute sleepy town so far. it’s only a short visit though because we’re jumping on the slow boat to Luang Prabang in Laos tomorow (it takes 2 days). until minutes ago I’d only heard great things about the trip but a friend just emailed and “said it was two days of unspeakable hell on the slow boat with her legs around her ears on a wooden bench”… so we’ll keep you posted. We’re here now claire, there’s no turning back!

I wish everyone reading a wonderful journey in 2007!
