Tom & Connie, and daughter, Jenny, are currently living one of their long-time dreams. They have relocated from Fairbanks, Alaska a couple of months ago to reside in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Their plan is to stay in Thailand for several months each year, and assist Partners. They are currently emersed in learning the Thai language through a private tutor, and will return to Alaska in April for a few months. We hopped another Song-tow back to our hotel around 5:00pm, and had about an hour to relax, shower, and get ready for dinner. Dinner this evening was at a special restaurant.
Kantoke-style Dinner
We dined in an open-air restaurant on traditional Thai foods as we enjoyed Lanna-style Thai dancers and live music.

At the end of the dinner-show, we watched a display of fireworks and launched a Chinese lantern as a group.
