RarinJinda Wellness Spa Resort Chiang Mai

... laughed about it the night before (what sort of stupid travellers would fall for this?). Anyway, the damage was not too big (B30 precisely) but we lost about 1.5hours and felt pretty stupid when seeing that (1) the palace was not closed at all (duh!) and (2) we could actually have walked (!) to the next bloody temple had we not fallen for some chick with an official looking tshirt and fake ID!<br>Anyway, overall it was a productive day as we had arranged visas ...

... after mysteriusly getting a craving, I was sat at the departure gate with half an hour to go. What a relief!<br><br>On the flight there were loads of empty seats; I had a whole row of three to myself. We were served some kind of dubious fish burger, which wasn't the most delightful of repasts, before arriving in Chiang Mai after just over an hour. I collected my bag, arranged a meter taxi at the counter next to the conveyor belts, then headed outside, handed ...

... sets en naarmate we ons verder van de kern verwijderden werd de muziek verrassend beter en zo werden we langzaamaan in de sfeer meegesleept. De "psychedelic trance"- en drum'n bass dj's waren gewoonweg geweldig en kheb me zelden zo uitgeleefd op muziek! De anderen was ik in de drukte al lang verloren maar dat deerde niet want de mensen en het sfeertje waren geweldig! In zag een kerel die ik eerder in Ton Sai, strand uit vorig verslag, had ontmoet en om af te koelen van de ...

<br>Tiger Kingdom, a place where tourists go to pet lions and tigers. Some places similar are known to drug or mildly sedate the tigers so that they don't act out. We had a Canadian couple at the hostel go out there and they had nothing but good things to say about the experience. They really sold it and I had a life long dream to be close to a living, breathing big cat. So we arrive, it was a big complex, a camel in a pen out left, and behind it a big carp pond, with ...

... we got hour-long foot massages in lazy boys on the side of the street. They were honestly so amazing we kept opening our eyes and staring at each other and mouthing "oh my god". I don't even want to tell you how much we paid, ok I do- less than two dollars each.   We went to bed so full of the market and of Thailand I can't even imagine room to experience anything else and we fell asleep with our new pretty lights we bought on. 

... of good though. There were some really nice people on this trip, and everyone ejnjoyed a nice cold beer toghether afterwards. Another great "trip" I did was to the Thai Farm Cooking School. This place had been recommended by the Dutch couple I met at yoga, and it was really great. The truck picked me up at 8:30, and immediately got a flat tire-- luckily we were still in the parking lot of my guest house, and not along side the highway. We picked up the ...

... were clearing land for this year's plantings. I was leaving the next day for my three-day trek into the hill tribe areas so I didn't really feel like doing a whole lot. It was still hot as hell in the north but the evenings were a lot cooler...That afternoon, after getting some food to eat, I decided that I would try and see a couple of the wats that were clustered around the old area of Chiang Mai, not far from where I was staying. My only mistake was that I ...

... counter and began to hug the staff and serve us food, maybe there is a future career for her in this line of work!!!! Many chicken nuggets later it was defiantly bed time. The following day passed with pool fun, packing (not so fun) and another trip to the night bazaar. Friday came and we headed out in search of some temples (thinking we should probably do some cultural stuff before we leave). They are very beautiful and ornate with giant gold Buddhas towering to ...
