On the road to Chiang Rai.
After spending a day & a night in Chiang Mai we are now on a coach to Chiang Rai.
We decided we liked Chiang Mai as soon as we arrived. We picked a hotel out of our lonely planet book & got a tuk tuk over to the hotel. Tri Gong Residence. Our room was simple but clean so we were pleased.
We went out to explore the city seeing various wat's & more Buddha's!
Everyone in Chiang Mai wanted to talk to Dando. A guy from Phuket recommended a load of stuff for us to do, some other Thai guy off to a party in the 7 11 & an American at one of the Wat's! A very friendly place!
We went to the Saturday Walking Street, which is a big market which was cool. Loads of jewellery, food & clothes for sale. We then went to the Night Bazar which is basically another Market. We just enjoyed wandering around! Dando nearly bought a fake Rolex but decided against it at the last minute. I bought a very nice bracelet.
Chiang Mai has a 'cool' climate but it is still hot! But thankfully it is cooler than Bangkok! We went for a drink at upper deck which was opposite our hotel to end the evening & there was actually a gentle breeze!
Having a great time, can't wait to see what Chiang Rai is like & go trekking.
Speak soon.
