I can never sleep of coaches but I can sleep well on trains. Mind you, the last train I went on in Thailand, the air-con system was pulling in air from the toilet, and the whole carridge smelt like piss! It was so bad I couldn't sleep. I felt quite sick in the morning! I quite like to sleepover train. I can never sleep of coaches but I can sleep well on trains.

Sure, when you get into the countryside, Thailand is a nice place for driving around, but on the main roads you have to battle against motorbikes and filthy trucks on the left, and crazy kamikazi U-turns on the right. Then all of a sudden the lane will stop, when you're travelling at 120 km/h in the fast lane!! Driving on main roads in Thailand for me is a very tiring experience, which requires 100% concentration all the time. When I get to the destination, I feel like I've done 10 rounds with Mike Tyson. And don't even get me started on signage ... Hi, sorry but I have to disagree.

Chiang Rai is lovely. Not only that, the countryside in that area is out of this world and best viewed on two wheels. Thanks Thanks for that. Chiang Rai is lovely.
