110 Ratchaphakhinai Road, Phra-sing Chiang Mai, Thailand, 50200, 66-(0)-53-903-900-
Chiang Mai is a very chilled out, alternative type of town. It is the second largest city in Thailand (Bangkok number 1) but feels like a big ol' country town. For us, it was easy. There was no need to rush around as all there is to see there are 'wats'. Wats is the Thai term for temple/ monastery. Chiang Mai has about 300 of them scattered around. There are two parts to the town - old and new Chiang Mai. The old part of Chiang Mai has a square city gate surrounding the city (we were staying)...

... water. It was such a relief to be cool after so many hours in the sun.<br><br>That evening we had a great meal cooked by our guide Jackie and sat round the camp fire and chat. The stars were absolutely amazing and as we were in the southern hemisphere there were thousands of different constellations that in the north we never get to see. Saw a couple of shooting stars before going to bed around 11pm in what ended a great day and best day so far.<br><br><br><br>
Chiang Mai, Thailand leehollywood01... group, each time a song would begin, they jumped to their feet and began singing along. It was great to see the youth enjoying themselves.<br><br>Here is the thing in Thailand. In these types of clubs you order beer or whiskey. If you order whiskey, you buy the entire bottle ($10 US). All evening you have a waiter taking care of you. When in Thailand, join the crowd. The Thai men continually came up to cheers with us, the girls loved to ...
Chiang Mai, Thailand rjknowltn... IN Thailand and it is goooood. The flavours and spicing is so deep and complex and by spices I don't mean spicy, though you certainly can get things super spicy.<br><br>I already have a favourite Thai food restaurant. They don't really speak English but they understand a key phrase: Mai Pet which means not hot or spicy. It's pretty easy to remember for obvious reasons. Along with Sawadika (hello) and Kop-un-ka (thank you), I get by for now.<br ...
Chiang Mai, Thailand joannabee... out your food amongst all of the monks. He very cutely gave me a head nod to move on with the goods. <br><br>Promptly after getting our merit badges, we hit the trough. We have found that our hotel is quite adept at preparing muffins. We have been shuttling some out of the restaurant after breakfast every morning. <br><br>I arranged for a private yoga lesson at the hotel today while Andrea did some reading by the pool this morning. Yoga not ...

Chiangmai, Thailand adisai2550... for dinner. On the way out one of the gardeners gave us a speech about Buddhism that made me almost cry. He was so happy and full of joy that after each few sentences he burst out in crazy hysterical laughter that made us all laugh crazily back. He was so happy it was impossible to contain. There are no millionaires in the united states with that kind of joy, I guarantee it. We love Thailand, We love Thailand, We love Thailand. Maybe we will move here J
Chiang Mai, Thailand elenimiaWhen we arrived in Bangkok we met our group consisting of lots of lovely people from all around the world. We also met our awesome group leader Chai who's philosophy on life is Subai Subai which means chill, chill, relax. Not serious. That evening, we went out and got dinner with two of the girls from the group in central Bangkok. The next day we we did our orientation round Bangkok. We went on a long river boat, then a sky train and then during a massive tropical storm we went on a ...
Chiang Mai, Thailand amyboxshall... a village high up in the mountains with the local Karen tribe. en route we stopped at a waterfall and i got some delightful pictures of a local woman cutting up live frogs for her dinner yuuummmmmmyyy! We made it to the village in good time and it was just what you would have expected, except for one thing. The Thai government have apparently sponsored a program whereby all the outlying Karen tribe villages receive free SOLAR panels as a means of electricity! It was so ...
