We spent yesterday traveling, so not much to report. We had a relaxing morning…went up to the market for some souvenirs etc. Mr Sawang picked us up around 12:30pm for our 3 hour ride to airport. Arrived in plenty of time…then caught our plane to my favorite place in the world (other than my house).<\/p>\n
Chiangmai!!<\/p>\n
We checked into our hotel and all seems fine….very fine actually…<\/p>\n
We wander out to the streets in search of a light snack (we ate at the airport before getting on plane and had to drop $30 for a meal…almost made me barf!!)<\/p>\n
Found a banana pancake stand…yum yum!!<\/p>\n
Then went across the street to see Sopa….she is our very favourite place to go for massage here in Chiangmai…well she has moved across the street and a bar has moved into her old place. So the bars here are full of young Thai girls scantily dressed that hook up with older (sometimes very old) fellows. There is a whole way of making money associated with this that is too complicated to explain here…but suffice it to say…it is an industry all its own. Anyway…Troy and I were getting foot massages and there was a show right outside our window…like party central…hard not to watch…but I just closed my eyes and relaxed…I think Troy enjoyed the show. Russ was also getting a massage, but he was laying down and BK was getting her hair cut…needless to say…we will go earlier today so as to enjoy more of a wholesome family environment…<\/p>\n
So after all that we came back to hotel to get some sleep…and I have to say sleep was not all it could have been. I am pretty sure we have found the all time…over the top…most rock hard beds in all of Asia!! But…that I can potentially deal with…what was far more challenging was the ding ding ding ding ding ding of the elevator bell ALL NIGHT LONG! So I am not a complainer by nature….but I did go straight down the hotel desk this morning and request they move us. Sounds like this won’t be a problem….so we will see what they come up with for tonight…<\/p>\n
I will keep you posted…as I am sure none of you will sleep until you know I am sleeping…<\/p>\n
