Chiang Mai

We liked Chiang Mai, despite it being a dry city due to the elections that weekend (although drinking beer in a bar that is pretending to be shut and especially not selling drinks can be fun too). We shall not bore you with detailed descriptions of all of our activities but to summarise...

We spent four days there, slept in a nice guesthouse full of french folk, visited only two temples, went to one shopping mall, went to three markets, ate many nice meals and were not allowed to drink beer in case we started rioting we presume - we drank beer, we did not riot. We visited the train station twice, the first time to buy a ticket, the second time to get onto the night train to Bangkok.


unfortunately we missed that fellow playing

every morning's breakfast soap opera: listening to some old expat regulars slurping their coffee, complaining about thai women and life in general. (we got hooked after one breakfast and had to come back all the following mornings)
