Day 30 travel from Mae Hong Son to Chiang Mai

---

Our last full day in Thailand included a long and (extremely) winded drive from Mae Hong Son to Chiang Mai. On the way we stopped at the Tham Lod caves - definitely one of the highlights of this leg of our trip. In addition to the very cool stalactite/stalagmite formations, one of the most unique elements of this cave was the stream that ran through it which we traversed in a bamboo raft.

We spent the evening walking around the night market in Chiang Mai, ready to fly out to our next destination Singapaore tomorrow.

... it also was a constant series of sharp and steep bends in the road
