Went to the sunday market in Chiang Mai when we first got in on the 27th. It was cool and had lots of art and artisan crafts - it happens every sunday in the main street of downtown Chiang Mai. There are also other markets everywhere around town all days/nights of the week but the Sunday night market is definitely the highlight! So much shopping! We have also discovered that there are so many amazing vegetarian/smoothie places to eat at in chiang mai - $3 for an omelet.. as little as $1 for a full fruity smoothie. Kaila loves her crepes and usually they are about $1! street food is good too, lots of interesting things. The thai's idea of icecream is a bit strange and... buttery? It's the same as the philippines, but they do have normal western ice-cream too.
Keith and Mairi and Eva ( a friend from home) caught a Sawngthaew (red truck)up to Doi Suthep, the hilltop temple above chiang mai on sunday. It was beautiful and such a nice view too! Then we all hit another sunday market. Mairi and Kaila did a 2 day thai massage course which was really awesome and informative. After a week in chiang mai we all headed to Pai by minivan, a small town 3 hours further north.
