The Hummer gets a well-earned wash!We were up at 12 after our night in Bed Supperclub to check out of our Hotel. Before hitting the road to Chiang Mai in Northern Thailand we decided it was time to give the Hummer a well and truly deserved wash as he hadn't gotten one since the start of the journey. Conveniently only a block away from the hotel was the best car detailing and valet business in Bangkok, WAC Detailing. These guys had a menu of things to get done bigger than most restaurants and for about a quarter the price of any place in Dublin or Sydney! We chose the full works due to the dire smell inside the car and the layer of scum on the outside. An hour and a bit late the car was like new and it was time to hit the road for a long drive to Chiang Mai.
To our surprise there was a great highway leading directly there and the drive was made short by our pirate stash of all 6 Sopranos seasons on 30 DVDs. Not bad for 2,000 Baht (40 Euro!). We eventually arrived into Chiang Mai at 4.30am with Dave nearly falling asleep at the wheel. Chiang Mai was noticeably cooler and we felt a tiny chill for the first time since leaving Sydney. There'll be plenty more where that came form heading towards the Himalayas!
We eventually found a cheap hotel with a secure car park for the Hummer and went straight to bed.
