Sorry for being so slow updating my blog. I've made an attempt at catching up now, although I realise it's a little brief.
In Myanmar I visited the ancient temples of Bagan, Mandalay; Myanmar's second city and the beautiful Inle Lake, before returning to Yangon for my flight back to Bangkok.
I had 6-7 days to kill in Bangkok before my family arrived from the UK for a holiday. This time was spent on Khao San Road.
My family flew direct from London to Bangkok on the 14th March, I met them from the airport and went directly to the hotel. After visiting the Grand Palace the following day, we set off for the vast Khao Yai National Park, where 2 nights were spent sleeping under canvas in the midst of the rainforest. Whilst at the national park, we went on a guided walk and a night time pick-up ride, where we saw a small number of the animals which inhabit the park. Even though we didn't see any of the large mammals which reside within the park it was still a great experience and definately worth the visit.
We left Khao Yai 2 days after our arrival there, catching the bus straight back to Bangkok and, luckily, being able to transfer from Bangkok to Surat Thani the same night, arriving at Surat Thani the next morning. From Surat Thani we caught the ferry to Ko Samui for some time on the beach. Whilst we've been on the island we've also been snorkelling, sea kayaking as well as visited many of the islands attractions. My Mum flew back to Bangkok early this morning, where her flight to the UK departs around midday. My brother is staying out in Thailand with me for a couple more weeks.
