Chiang Mai

After a 10hr bus journey we finally left Bangkok (nasty place) & arrived in the capital of the North- Chiang Mai!


here we got taken 2 our guesthouse from the bus station in an army truck and our large guesthouse worker carried both our heavy backpacks up 3 steep flights of stairs! reaching our room, laying on our very hard beds, lookin at our taped up windows we finally fell asleep :)





how funny!

We had a lot of fun in Chiang Mai, it was time of the light festival. When arriving in Chiang Mai, we didnt know why they they had the festival, but finding a temple and talkin to a monk, we found out it was in aid of Buddah day, where people light lanterns and fireworks, let lights float down the river and worship in the temples.

We saw parades almost everynight, with boys in sumo pants and ladies wiv beautiful ornaments in their hair.



We went to the night bazzaar & there was litterally anything you could possibly want! i would love to come back for holiday & buy all my christmas presents!





We also lit our own lantern, i was well excited! simple things please simple minds :)
