Blog 1
Hi Al!
So, here we are again, another year and another blog from me!
I can’t quite believe it’s been 9 months since my last post.
What a turbulent and difficult winter/spring we’ve had: Energy crisis, cost of living crisis, climate crisis, Tory crisis, ongoing Brexit crisis! In short a bit of a shit show.
I decided to go back to Thailand again this year. This was for several reasons: it’s beautiful, the people are lovely, the food is amazing and it’s Cheap! 😃 I also found it incredibly relaxing last year, which I needed and definitely need again this year.
As I’m visiting the same country, I’ll try not to bore you all with the same stuff. I will be visiting different parts of Thailand, although to begin with I will be back in beautiful Chiang Mai, staying at the same hotel, possibly even the same room! 😂 I find it quite reassuring knowing where I’ll be and what to expect. I also plan to travel to different areas later in my trip.
I left Newquay a week ago and have been staying in Hertford and Stevenage catching up with all my lovely friends and family (unfortunately I didn’t get to see everyone!)
Thank you to Tish & Ken, Hayley and Tracey & Jaques for looking after me, plying me with beautiful food & drink, driving me places, letting me use your cars and generally being awesome 😍It means the world to me.
I am currently sitting in the lounge at Terminal 2waiting for my Flight to Singapore. I managed to get a great deal on my flights, perhaps because I have a 12hr layover in Singapore 😬Singapore airport is fantastic, so my plan is to go to the butterfly garden (yes, they really do have one) walk around the gardens, go for a swim the the last 5 hours will be spent in a lounge trying to get some sleep before my onward flight to Bangkok.
I booked an onward flight from Bangkok to Chiang Mai several months ago and then discovered on Wednesday that my onward flight is from a different airport!! 🤦♀️ Luckily for me I have 6hrs between flights which should be enough time to get to Don Mueang airport by free shuttle or a taxi! I will finally arrive in Chiang Mai on Wednesday afternoon I hope.
Right guys, that’s it for now. Once I get settled in Chiang Mai I will start blogging more regularly.
Have a great evening.
I’m not going to add pics to this as the WiFi is a bit pants here!
Take care

Safe journey, enjoy the layover in Singapore. Looking forward to all the photos to come. Xx
