The first leg of our Intrepid Tour involved taking a 14 hour train ride from Bangkok up North. It was no TGV, but the train staff was very kind and kept the beer flowing. Probably to encourage everyone to sleep well in the short beds. Mol and I shared the cozy little sleeper bed in the picture. Not too bad -- we just needed to coordinate any movements and rotating around.
Chiang Mai's a nice town and not nearly as crazy as Bangkok. We had a Thai cooking lesson, and then we drove up to a beautiful temple halfway up the mountain. We even got to see some chanting monks. Tomorrow, we drive for 7 hours into Laos. Then we take a boat ride down the Mekong River for a couple days to our next big city. We'll check in again when we get there.
