Adventures with Elephants
The second leg of our trip brought us to Chiang Mai, a city in the northwest of Thailand. Chiang Mai was a much bigger city than I had expected. It's a fantastic spot for adventure tourism. If you can think of something outdoorsy, you can do it in Chiang Mai. We met up with one of my friends from USC who is studying in Bangkok and booked our first …
Thai Cookery School!
For our last day in Chiang Mai, we decided to absorb our favorite part of the culture and learn how to cook the delicious food. Our course was taught at a little house outside of town. It was just the two of us with our instructor. We got to choose what we made, so we chose our favorite things: tofu spring rolls, banana spring rolls, phad thai, …
Computer Says No
Well my journey from Kanchanaburi to Chiang Mai got off to the worst possible start when I arrived at the train station for the 1444 train to Bangkok, only to be told that the train was delayed by a minimum of 4 hours. So that meant I'd miss my connecting train. As this is nothing like the UK when it comes to public transport it was more a case of …
Chiang Mai
SK Travel booked us a week's worth of activities, accommodation, transportation, and some meals for $270 CAD each which isn’t too bad but was a little excessive for Thailand. The day we left Alexa and Niko was the day we left Bangkok for Chiang Mai in the north.
The 13hr overnight train this time around was not too bad; it had air …
Chiang Mai
After a 16 hour train ride, we arrived in Chiang Mai around 6:00 am eager to find a place to stay, nap, and shower. Unfortuantely, these tasks did not get accomplished until well after 10 am due to lack of room at the inn in one guesthouse and housekeeping at the other (and this didn't even include mint for pillow!). Once revived we took a …

“Authentically Local”
Reviewed Dec 9, 2010
SK House was a little more luxury than we expected but it came in a package from the travel agency we went with so we accepted. There was a pool, affordable laundry services, a concierge, and 24hr service....all in close walking distance to everything. But the thing we found to set this place apart was all the "handicrafts" displayed around the resort. We were able to find some of the items we wanted at the local markets but would not have even known to look for it had we not seen it displayed on-site.
The only concern we have to raise was the odor coming from our bathroom. No matter how many desirable smells we tried to expose the bathroom to in multiple showers, it still gave off a strange smell...but other than that, we had a great time and the staff there were fabulous!!!
