Lazy Day in Chiang Mai

Sunday - 8 June 08

Sawasdee Ka to one and all! This will be a short blog as we had a bit of a lazy day in Changers today. Its Sunday and it was very quiet, must be the one day the locals actually take it easy. We did the usual McShit for breakfast and mainly because its cheap and they have the only good latte's in Thailand. We are doing really well with our daily budget, we have allowed ourselves a daily budget of 2,000 baht per day ($67 Aud) which includes accommodation and all meals. So far we are only spending including accomm around 1300 baht, so what we save can go towards our flights to Phuket as opposed to spending 13 hours on a bus.

After breaky this morning we decided to do our usual daily walk and headed south along the main drag, we walked for hours and hours through the suburbs, passed expensive resorts, along the river and its so interesting to see the Thais going about their daily living, which most of the time seems to revolve around working.

The rest of the arvo was spent watching the AFL game between Freo and the Lions and just relaxing. Rick slept most of the arvo and finally woke up around 7.30pm so we could go out and have dinner. We treated ourselves to our normal Maccas ice cream and packets of dried Mango and headed home to our hotel. No rain or storms today which is a shame cause I love watching the storms roll in over the mountains from Myanmar, it makes for good photos.

Anyway thats it for today, should be a better blog tomorrow as we are off on our tour all over the place. So until tomorrow! Kob Chai
