Day 25

Walked down to Thai Village then bus to Chiang Rai airport. Flew to Chiang Mai. I spent all afternoon in airport (didn't feel like going out). Barb went into Chiang Mai with Oot (twice) to see temples and have dinner, which she said was totally flooded.

Day 24

Walked to forest center, like a tea house. then to a Lahu village -- Jaelae -- to watch a man smoke opium. Had to cross river then to the Mae Sai waterfall and back to the forest center for a long afternoon nap. Then steep hike THROUGH jungle (what Marc calls a Viet Nam experience) to Akha...

Day 23

(The next few posts will appear to be dispatched from Chiang Rai, but we were actually up in the hills north of Chiang Rai). Fly to Chiang Rai, couldn't get an early plane so took the second flight out with our guide Oot. He bought food (cash me) and we waited in restaurant. then walked a...

Day 22

This was a tour day, part of the package deal Barbara booked in Bangkok. The morning was spent just outside of Chiang Mai in an area I think is called San Kamphaeng, which is full of various "factories" where they produce hand the made items for which Chiang Mai is famous. However, the tour...

Day 21 (continued)

The hotel in Chiang Mai -- the Chiang Mai Plaza, was really nice, very posh and Barb and I sat in the lobby/bar, listening to a pretty good lounge lizare act (Barb even thought it was a record!), drinking and writing in our journals. Two notes on things I noticed in Bangkok (which also held...

Day 21

Still no action (or sign) from Marc, I got up and showered, he did the same. We grabbed a quick breakfast at the hotel and then went to Marc's guest house so he could get his camera. It was much cleaner than I expected and the people were friendly. Our morning sightseeing took us to the...

Day 20

I woke early and grabbed a cab to the Hilton to meet Marc. At first, I thought about not going as the Hilton, it turned out, was way out on the outskirts of town, a good 45 minute cab ride and besides Marc had been unsure of when he would get to Bangkok. In other words, did I really want to...

Day 19 (continued)

I took the afternoon plane to Bangkok, a taxi to the Royal Hotel, and went to bed. It was really a wasted day -- I should have gone to the beach or Aberdeen or something but just didn't feel like it.
