Chiang Mai

Attention everyone: NEVER stay at the Nam Khong Guesthouse!!

They kicked us out! We can’t believe it!! We have to leave tomorrow because they said there was no room for us, and that someone else had booked ahead for a room and one of their tours! …and the real reason we were kicked out was because we had not bought one of their tours!! And they hadn’t even asked us! So our stay in Chiang Mai was going to be a day or two shorter than planned, and we are booked on the overnight train (even though we couldn’t get a sleeper!!) for tomorrow, after we have spent the day at Elephant Nature Park, a sanctuary for elephants, where we can see elephants being elephants – a tourism alternative to “Elephant Camps”.

It’s a bit of a shame to be leaving earlier than expected, as we were planning to look around at the night markets (which in Chiang Mai, especially on a Sunday are HUGE) to see if we could buy some cheap warm clothes for our trip to England, but its good to be heading to Lop Buri.

Anyway, it’s funny being back in a real city, in a world that has Starbucks and McDonalds.
