Note: I have a backlog of pictures to upload, but the internet is just too slow to get them all up.
A travel day. Got up and headed to the bus station. Managed to make it there dry, which was nice. Couldn’t get a bus for 4 hours, but figured it was better than nothing, so I read in the concourse, and tried to stay cool.
Bus ride was fairly uneventful. Nice hilly scenery, and we got stopped for a police check, but that’s pretty standard I think. They were just checking random people’s I.D, from what I could tell. In Chiang Rai I found a place in he guidebook I figured might be good to stay at, and asked the tuk tuk driver to get me there. Got a little wet en route, but it could have been worse.
Wandered to the day market to get some food (just pineapple as the selection was weak), then back to the guesthouse for a bit and to escape the onslaught of water throwers.
At night I headed to the night market for cheap and tasty food – mostly skewered seafood, then back to the guesthouse to relax for the night.
