Had a couple of messages asking where I've booked trains and for contacts for guides so thought I'd post them up here in case others are interested.
I'd highly recommend www.thailandtrainticket.com as a booking agent for overnight sleeper trains. Their communication and help has been very reliable.
Though we have not used him yet I've also found the guide we booked in Chiang Mai to be very helpful via email. His email address is [email protected] and he is called Joy.
Ying at the Salad Hut hotel has also been very helpful should you be heading to Ko Phangan.
My next blog will probably be on our departure day and after that it will very much depend upon the quality of the wifi we get in the hotels. Hoping to include plenty of pictures, restaurant and hotel reviews and if possible a couple of videos about our train journeys.
Hope you keep reading over the summer to keep up with our adventure.
All the best
Ian
