Textures in Old Town

Jumped in a cheap yellow taxi, and headed to find somewhere to purchase the tickets for our side trip to Pai Thailand tomorrow....that was quite the scene. Thank you google translator! 

We wound up in Old Town at the Sunday Market, it was huge and got busier and busier as the evening went on. This blog is about textures as there is a lot of it here. At times I was on sensory overload!! 

 I loved the way they talked so quietly women building housesart work when pigs fly! Err I mean elephants. Guesthouse where we bought our bus tickets. Nice family room (for 3) and has a nice pool for $38.00 a night for 3 beds and private bath.for a price comparison 100 Baht is $3.00 American.... we stopped at a roadside restaurant and had lunch and ice coffee and chai tea Davina and Luann got a 1 hour foot and neck massage for $5 I went shopping around a lil bit as I can’t really do a foot massage.textures and colors Ice Cream vendor/truck, it even has a Bell :) restroom fees well this could explain a lot!!  Diet changes lol they were singing 

Got caught in a rain storm, I felt bad for the vendors in the rain, while we ducked in a coffee shop

700 baht ride home (21.00 us) 

Off to Pai tomorrow for a couple days. 

Chiang Mai

So we arrive in Chiang Mai to found out that our housing is way on the outskirts of town, so we got settled in,I toook a shower had a power nap and then we headed out for an excursion. We had a quick bite to eat near the apartment and then we found our way to the huge night market in town. And bought tons of food. Did a little shopping our treasures, there is no lack of food in Asia that’s for sure. 

Wheeling and deal my for these taxis and TukTuks is crazy..... 

Night train

So I had a really nice action by action blog written on the train but it disappeared lol so this is what ya get.

Went on a 14 hour overnight train from Bangkok to Chiang Mai Thailand Waiting at the train station. With all of our worldly possessions. LuannDavina

Not the most comfortable sleep I’ve had but it wasnt awful. Inside of my secret compartment So, I went to the bathroom around 2am and enjoyed the open air window a little too much haha! I pretended I was a olden days princess and waved goodbye to Bangkok, the rats and the homeless people sleeping at the stations. Getting ready for breakfast So at 8 AM this Thai lady went up and down the hall of the train yelling our bunk numbers to wake us. And wasn’t taking no for an answer,  they had to disassemble the bunks put in tables and serve breakfast. We weren’t ready to wake up yet!! Someone said the trains are full of cockroaches, I did not see 1 ! They keep the lights on all night (which probably isn’t a bad thing) there are 2 bathrooms one with a squat toilet and one with western toilet. Davina and Luann found the squat toilet one and I found the western one. It goes straight out and onto the railroad tracks......

These shoes were made for walking.. that’s what they are gonna do. :) 

Just chilling doing my own thing A little bit of the view We have arrived in Chiang Mai Thailand
