The train to Chiang Mai was perfect again. It was cold again though and we both got off the train with a sore throat. But we really prefer the sleeptrain above any bus!
First glance of Chiang Mai looks good. Although it's Thailands 2nd city, it only has about 500.000 inhabitants & the city itself isn't so busy & hectic as Bangkok by far. We could just be spending our last weeks from our trip here & in the surroundings...weather is fabulous for the time being. Sun is shining hard all day long, but don't know where they got the fact that it should be a bit cooler here? We are totally melting! In the shades it do-able, but out in the open sun you can almost hear yourself sizzling like a crisp slice of bacon. Our GH for the night actually has a small pool, but since it doesn't get any direct sun its a bit of a shock to dive right in ;-). Still a very nice extra in this weather!
Rounded off the day with an evening stroll along the water, eye-shopping on the night market & having another noodlesoup at the local foodcourt with some banana-roti street dessert. We're really going to miss those noudlesoups! For tomorrow we have a cooking class day activity planned on a organic farm little out of town...anxious to see what that's gonna be like!

als ik mij goed herinner om klokslag 6u en 18u stipt elke dag staat iedereen 1 minuut stokstijf stil voor het volkslied, enkel in CM en noord thailand dacht ik, zeer bizar om te zien, er was ook nog ergens een tof plein met foodmarktjes, links van de grote weg uit het centrum, niet dat ik vaag wil zijn...
BeantwoordenVerwijderenSouns like a typical day in Chiang Mai: noodle soups, night markets en cooking course. Die laatste was voor ons echt een aanrader.
