10th - today was just a relaxing day for us. Most of the time was spent at the pool or in the room. Especially Osacr and I was mostly in the room as Oscar felt bad from the morning and threw up twice during the day. So in the evening we let the girls go to the night market and stayed home. Naturally one is affraid when you let three girls go to a market alone, but fortunately they did not spend much.
11th - Today we have decided to visit the Chiang Mai Zoo. However the started with Asta and I taking a tuk-tuk to the rail station to buy tickets for the tour back to Bangkok. This time we got tickets on second class with fan where we can sleep during the ride. We have decided go head back Tuesday 17th arriving early morning 18th. Kings Cup (soccer) is this year held in Bangkok and The Danish team plays Wednesday against South Korea. After breakfast we got a tuk-tuk to the Zoo. The Zoo is places is very nice surroundings where small busses can take you from place to place or you can drive yourself as it is a little bit up and down hill. Naturally you can also chose to walk. No doubt that the animals in our Zoo back home in Odense is being looked after better than they do here. Anyway we had a nice day there and saw a lot of different animals. Back at the hotel a quick cool dive in the pool before dinner.
12 - Today we went to a special area in Chiang Mai famous of its various handicraft. First stop was an umbrella and fan factory. One thing is how they made the products another thing was the painting/decoration of it. Asta was wearing short jeans and within 5-8 minutes a woman had painted a very nice elephant on the jeans With various colours and her name on. There was a souvenir shop where we bought two t-shirts one for Oscar and Marie and they too had a motive painted. After that we went to a place where they manufactured teak furnitures also this was very interesting. Visiting Thailand we had to see a place where they made Thai silk - so we did. Finally the last two places we went to was one a jewellery factory and two a factory where they manufactured and lacquered different type of souvenirs. Back at the hotel it was time for homework and diary while Asta insisted that I went down into the pool with her - that was cold and the sun was not there to warm us.
13 - Today we went up to a temple placed on the mountain. Naturally there was a lot of people there as the place is famous both for tourists as well as the Thais. But again a place where foreigners had to pay entrance the Thai people not. After this we went to a place called Tiger Kingdom. Here Pernille and the kids went in and hugged small tigers. Pernille also went in with bigger ones. Last place that day was a snakefarm and we arrived just in time for the Cobra show. I have to admit that snakes is far from being my favourite. At least the kids liked it. I basically hated when they took out the big King Cobra and made sure my feet were not on the ground. There were some other visitors where one of the men did not sit together with the other ones. Instead he enjoyed to sneak up upon some of female guests and give them a shock. Back at the hotel Marie and I went out to buy one more bagpack.
14-15th - this weekend I just want to forget. Marie and Asta were sick Saturday and I got hit big time Saturday evening and was in bed all Sunday. Pernille and the kids enjoyed the day at the pool and went to a local Sunday market in the evening.
