Day 38: Tues 23rd Nov 2010 – Day 39: Wed 24th Nov 2010 – Chiang Mai > Chiang Rai

Our time in Chiang Mai was at an end, we had only expected to spend three to four days here but it turned out to be a week. When I first arrived I got the feeling it was going to be a very cool city and I leave with that exact thought. The pace of life in the north of Thailand seems far slower than that in the south making the population that bit more chilled out. The only think I will regret missing out on in Chiang Mai is the kick boxing fight nights. Due to illness for a good chunk of time in the city is was badly in need of sleep every night and never made it to one of the kick boxing arenas. At least this is a reason for me to come back in the future.

Next port of call would be Chiang Rai. We hadn't done much research into this city and expected to turn up and find things to entertain ourselves. We arrived in the evening and had a little explore and found a really nice night market. The morning after we tried to explore the the place a little more but all it has really is the night market, this gave us a good excuse to chill in some bars and read up about our next destination.
