Chiang Mai is nice. We have been here a half day and already we can see why people enjoy this area of North Thailand so much. There is heaps to do here and we are staying in a great place. We will report on all this later. In the mean time, we up-loaded some photos from the Philippines and Thailand to the posts below.
Our final experience in Bangkok was the taxi ride to the airport. It started with us having to haggle with the driver. This was followed by the driver trying to change the price while en route. When he hit the freeway he drove LIKE A MANIAC, tail-gating everyone while weaving in and out of traffic at very high speeds. At one point we were doing almost 140 km/hour in a 80 km/hour zone before Erika told him to slow down (Tony was ready to threaten physical violence at this point). Of course, there were no seat belts in the car. We were honestly terrified and once we got to the airport we were happy to get on a plane and leave Bangkok behind. Thank goodness for the serenity of Chiang Mai.
Looking forward to elephants tomorrow.
