Anyone reading this should really already know me, but for those who have stumbled across this blog randomly, my name is Patrick and i live in Canberra, Australia.
In slightly less then a week, i'm taking a fortnight's holiday, almost all of which will be spent in Thailand. That's the main thing i set this blog up for - to act as a bit of a travel diary, as well as hopefully to post some photos of the places i visit.
Today i did some reasonably serious shopping - i bought the backpack i will be using for the trip (which will hopefully carry everything i will need... fingers crossed), some heavy duty sandals, a digital camera, and a portable washing line (this thing is pretty clever - it's two pieces of elastic threaded around one another with hooks on either end. Rather then pegging clothes on, you slip them between the two pieces of threaded elastic). The camera is charging, so i don't have any photos to show off yet. Maybe tomorrow.
My itinary (looking at that i'm sure i spelled it wrong) is going to be something like - 2 days in Bangkok, catch the train out to the western province of Kanchanaburi, where i will spend 3 or so days exploring beautiful national parks and also checking out the historical sites of Hellfire Pass and the Bridge over the River Kwai (probably won't be whistling while i do that last one). After that, i'll then proceed up north to the Chiang Mai province, which i have been told acts as a very nice hub for the northern area of Thailand. Not entirely sure what i will do there, although i have been told that i should take the opportunity to visit Chiang Rai as it is less of a big city.
This last week before taking off for Thailand is going to be pretty frantic - there's a lot of preparation i still need to do for the trip, and i also need to make sure that everything is sorted out at my work so that they aren't cursing my name while i'm gone.
