Birthday things!
Went to a little market and got a wicked bannana milkshake for the princely sum of 30p (Cookie Shake; take note), we then met the nicest Tuk Tuk driver ever who took us to Tiger Kingdom, a local tourist haunt where you can hang out with tigers of all diferent sizes/ages. A lot of these sort of places are notorious for drugging the big kitties to …

TravelPod Member ReviewsRama House Chiang Mai
Lovely little place on Rat Vitti (i think that's how you spell it). The staff leave you well alone which is great, the setting is lovely and it's near loads of good stuff so all good in that respect. THe rooms are a little spartan but hey, I didn't come to Thailand to spend all day in my room.
