Had a relaxing day moving back to Bangkok. We got our 20,000 steps in, a lovely dinner, and several hours of window shopping in.

Onward tomorrow to Hanoi and some more adventures there!

Had a lovely day in the mountains outside Chiang Mai. Did some walking, some picture-taking,  some way-too-much lunch-eating. There’s waterfalls and pagodas to see there, a bunch of birds and some butterflies. No monkeys tho 😭

Chiang Mai has been amazing. I could spend five more days here. It really has something special. Lots of amazing food, nice people, great sights.

Off to Bangkok again for one night, then on to Hanoi to meet a friend of a friend for some Vietnam scenery. 

Good morning!

Another easy day, walking around and drinking lots of coffee!

Somehow got in 20 thousand steps just watting it up, doing errands, and taking in another night market.

Tomorrow is our field trip to a national park, two waterfalls, some Wats, and shopping at an Hmong market.

Good morning! Have a great Sunday!

After a terrible night suffering from the gypsy water disease, I got a slow start and finally we made our way out of the city center to the Insect Museum.

It’s a private museum set up by two scientists who spent their lives studying mosquitos and malaria. Lots of insect specimens,  random wood carvings, paintings, mineral samples, and of course lots of information about mosquitos. Very interesting!

Some lunch, some errands,  and that was it for me. I had to rest until it was time for the Saturday Walking Night Market. So. Many. People. But it was wonderful. We tried a bunch of random food, bought some junk, ate some more food…

Goodnight!
