We started day 2 with a huge sleep in. I think we both needed it. We had a late breakfast, changed Guest houses (Golden fern guest house was a bit dirty) to 'Safe House Court', which was similar but cleaner. We then hired bikes and did the 'Tour de Chiang Mai'. We decided to mission out to a temple, Wiang Kum Kam, which was a great bike ride although hair-raising at times with the traffic and a few random dogs (there are a lot of dogs just roaming around the place) who like to bark at tourists on bikes!
After the bike ride we went to the Sunday market which was huge. It has lots of local handicrafts and a great variety of food to choose from. The meal of choice for the night was a large fried rice ball that is broken up and mixed with pork, basil, chilli, lime and some other 'special' ingredients that I can't remember. All for a dollar! Dessert was in the form of a banana roti and fresh watermelon. All good.
