So this morning I arrived in Thailand, and despite a slight mishap in attempting to go through Bangkok customs forgetting I had a bottle of coke purchased at Heathrow in my bag it was actually pretty stress free. The flight was strange through, flying east during the day on London time was completely disorientating, especially when sunset was at what seems to have been mid afternoon. As a result of this I've barely slept, not that I didn't try to on the 11.5hr flight to Bangkok, I just wasn't physically tired enough. I slept on my connection though, and woke up to my tray table down and a bag containing a bottle of water and a slightly suspicious looking pie on it, which I decided to leave on the plane.
Chiangmai itself is bigger than I expected, with miles and miles of roads filled with shops and restaurants. We're actually properly out in the jungle! The house and the people here seem nice, although, due to it being term time, its pretty quiet. It's very different to home, but I think that's a good thing. Today I found myself knee deep in clothes at a thrift shop, it's just a completely different way of life, which I guess just seems so quirky. Moths are giant here also, making them much more frightening I'm looking forward to exploring a little later, but right now I need to nap.
