Leaving the North with the night train

Hello again!

Leaving the North of Thailand tonight with the sleeper train - sad but looking forward to the next part of our big adventure - Bangkok, Koh Chang island and then Cambodia and Vietnam. We have had a great time here, it is amazingly beautiful, wonderful landscapes, ... so here are a few photos at last (better late than never - but we have been soooooo busy!!!)

Japanese in Hua Hin ... seems like a lifetime ago! The food was wonderful though, and he made a great show of cooking on the street.

High tide in Samui - we had never seen the beach that narrow before - apparently even less sand at Christmas!
