We were to arrive at 650am at Chiang Mai
The staff woke us up at about 545
And started to keep the bed
Husband only slept 4hours as he was engrossed in his book
We arrived Chiang Mai on time
And was greeted by the cold breeze
It was 16degrees!
We took a taxi (tuktuk van) to our hotel in the old town area for 50baht each
As our hotel was not ready,
We went for breakfast
And start visiting the temples and explore the town
By 11am, the temp went to 31degrees!
We managed to survive outdoor till 2pm
Grab lunch nearby the hotel
And book for the next day tour
We finally check in to take the long-waited shower!
Because we cancelled our previous booking due to the visa saga
By the time we booked, most hostels and hotels were full.
We had not choice but to book a more expensive hotel which end up to be a big suit with separate living room and nice view!
I guess it nice to pamper ourselves some time!
After a rest, I chase husband out to go to the night market
We had to take the shared taxi again as its about 15min drive but I think it was 30/50 baht per person.
We accidently went to 1 of the better Thai food restaurant
It was voted no50+ on trip advisory
The food was good but more expensive than the average places
But lucky for us, the queue starts after we went in.
Husband "dragged" me to see the river after dinner
In the night market,
Things are pricer than BKK and bargaining was really hard
But we were running out of clothes to wear so we need buy to survive
We wanted to take the shared taxi back to hotel
And they quote us at 200bahts for 2!
To our surprise,
A tuktuk quote us 200bahts too
So we took the tuktuk back
Finally an official tuktuk ride!
We rested early for the day
As the tour car will pick us up at 7am for our full day trip....
