Last day in Chiang Mai – July 18, 2018
Always a tough call to know what to do on your last day in your favourite place. Looks like we need to hit Wararot Market for dried Thai tea and the rest of the country’s dried mangos that Rachael and Anna have not already bought🤣. Sure hoping they can get all these mangoes back into the country. It started to pour rain about halfway to the market, but we persevere. We are from the Pacific Northwest after all. And it’s 87 degrees. So no one is cold. We are on a mission.
We visited my favourite mango sticky rice vendor (it is tradition) found the tea, dried mangos and curry paste. It has stopped raining but in order to preserve energy for later in the day (and for massage 😉) we got a Tuk Tuk back to Baan Ratchiangsen. 120 baht. Well spent. The girls got a massage from Et and Troy and I chillaxed at hotel. I’m still recovering from the shower incident so no way I can get a massage yet and Troy is standing in solidarity with me 😁
We went to DooDee for supper to replenish ourselves as the girls really want to go to the night market, which means a 30 minute trek back over to that area. Pad see ewe, chicken with cashew nut, padThai and Penang make a great last meal.
The night market was insanely huge. Bigger than I remember! But mostly set up to be under cover as it did decide to spit rain most of the way there. But mission accomplished. All money spent 🤣🤣🤣
