Day 82 Burma

26/05/13
An early start as it was time for another visa run, this time it was to the border with Burma (Myanmar). The crossing was actually the most northerly part of Thailand, not surprisingly it took us 4 hours to get there. The Thai drive on the left and the Burmese on the right so in no mans land all the vehicles had to change lane, something that I found very amusing and reminded me strongly of the switch over on a scalextric track. When back in Chiang Mai I met up with Rob, George and another of their friends, Ollie and got some street food curry. Afterwards we hit the Saturday walking market. We spent nearly 3 hours there (Rob a bit more) and I am sure there were plenty of people who took longer, just to walk the length (with nobody getting in your way) it would take half an hour. Afterwards we went to an English pub where we were met by Simon and I have to say that Guinness has never tasted so good, it made me realise how rubbish larger is. We pick Rob up from the hostel and went to a lively bar where we bumped into a girl who we met in Vietnam and the LAds also met in Cambodia. She was rather annoying on every occasion and I think every wishes she didn't keep popping up!
