Poo !!

The first activity of the day was making paper from elephant poo! We went to the Chiang Mai elephant poopoo paper park and had a tour around the different stages of making the paper from boiling the poo (nearly all of us had a go at stirring it), to spreading it and putting it out to dry. We had a little go at decorating various items made from the poo paper, and everyone's looked really good - Beth, Anna, Lou.


After playing with poo Guy took us to the princesses favourite resturant, after been vaguely told what the menu meant (it was all in Thai) we got are food which resulted in Hannah being served an extremely hot yellow curry! It was fun to eat real Thai food and they defiantly didn't hold out the stops when it came to spices.  Maisy, Hannah and Louise x

After poopoo paper and a hot & spicyspicyspicy Thai meal we boarded the Red Trucks and headed to a parasol paradise. This was where we were able to look at how they were made and see how they were decorated. We proceeded home and some of us had a fabulous swim in the cloudy pool.


At 6pm we wandered through night markets which were swarming with 'friendly,' tourists. Finally, heading home after coffees we got into Tuk Tuk's - very eventful!o Fiona has just given us the power to write this after commenting on the clean, organised utopia that is our room. (See picture below.) night babes, love the very hyper and caffeine filled Abbi, Charlotte & Florence.💙💙💙

PS: Eleanor has bought enough souvenirs and pressies to fill a cargo ship - pretty sure she has bought half of Thailand. We've managed to barter like pros thanks to El too though, it is very very cheap here if you're willing to battle with a market stall owner!! Lots of jewellery, lanterns, bags and mango flavoured food items have been purchased, and Louisa, Anna and El managed to grab a bargain of 3 skirts for 550 Baht altogether (about £3.50 each!!) - see picture 👗 Love Grace, Maisie and Eleanor X



What a messy room girls !!!
