Chiang Mai

Something to looking forward to after the final 2 papers, entrance exam round 2 and a big Amen to the degree number 2! 2 months, just 2 more months Jo. (Alot of 2's going on here. Hmmm)

So to the handful of you, thanks for stopping by, if anyone has been to Chiang Mai, where to go, what to do, what to see, what to eat? So far I've read that one of the must dos is to take cooking classes, and my brother is adament that we take up a class to learn green curry from scratch so cooking class research is underway. Other than that, please do let me know if you have any suggestions, lest the siblings end up riding elephants and getting conned into forking out money to watch yet another cultural show :p

Thanks.

Boonie and I visited Chiang Mai 2 years ago and the tour guide who brought us around spoke good English and is definitely one of the better Thai guides we had. Not sure if she's still conducting tours, but you can try reaching her at email: jakkhamtemth@yahoo.com; Mobile: 01-9899150; 09-1533480. Her name's Diana. She recommended us a pretty good and cheap Thai massage place (I can't remember the name). If you like hand drawn pencil/pastel art pieces, can bring a nice photo and get it drawn there at one of the marketplaces. We scouted around a bit, and found that the quality's comparable to those famed street artists outside the art museums in Spain. Price is alot more reasonable too. The other place I recall that's not too bad was a temple on a hilltop. Can get a nice view of the city from there.

Thanks for that Shu!!! Will give Diana a ring, perfect because right now we are looking for some sort of a day trip. Can't wait for massages and just getting away!
