we arrived late buy 4 hours to chiang mai as th train stopped overnight, but when we arrived to out hotel (serenity hotel) we had a choice of what we wanted to do. we all did the elephant hospital where we had our pictures taken and got to feel them, the elephants also put on a show (so to speak) where they didi paintin, dancing and played football, it was amazing to see these creatures being so gental. we also decided to go to the Doi suthep temple where we met the monks and overlooked chiang mai..... what a view! after enjoying our day out we headed towards the trek shop to get essentials ie toilet roll! and insect repelants etc etc... then for the evening tony (our guide) took us out for a meal.
