Chiang Mai - Day 1

Chiang mai is gorgeous, and a lot smaller than Bangkok, more chilled out and relaxed. I think we've got into the swing of being on holiday as we're sleeping in and not feeling too guilty if we don't use up every second seeing the 'sights'.

We got in late afternoon and when we worked out where we should go , it was 5:30pm already! Night Bazaar time! The night bazaar is Chiang Mai's biggest tourist attraction...streets lined with stalls of t-shirts, shoes, thai silk scarves, banana roti's, pad thai sellers, sunglasses, jeans, and more of the same stall after stall after stall. It's been quite fun bargaining with the stall keepers, and wandering around soaking up the atmosphere. Bought a few little things but sadly, a pack can only carry so much.

Walking back from the night bazaar we stumbled across a whole heaps of bars surrounding a boxing ring. They were all set up so you can sit down and have a drink whilst watching a bit of kick boxing. You could tell that it was staged but there were a few good hits to keep us (Carl) interested. As for the 'lady boys' that did a bit of a caberet show inbetween bouts, they still need to work on their show!
