Things to do in Chiang Mai By May We are still in Chiang Mai, Thailand. We’ve been here 4 weeks and have 1 week to go. It’s a lovely city. Most tourists stay here a few days, a day or so to walk around Chiang Mai and then a couple of days to do something outside of Chiang Mai.

We enjoy your many comments about food. Is there much waste in the giving of so much food to 10,000 monks? Glad the elephant ride went well. Maybe you should do the zip line before you leave. It can't be worse than the one at your house where you run into a tree! Reed found this out Thursday! Love, Louisa

I assume that all the monks are fulltime, or maybe some have part time jobs. And if they are fulltime, do they work in wats, or teach, or just pray and contemplate. The pictures are wonderful, and looks like the ramen noodles are still in packages. From your blog, I pictured people just pouring wet noodles into huge bags, which didn't sound very appetizing or practical.

long stay
Enjoyed your notes. We will be staying in Chiang Mai in February for 4 weeks. Can you recommend a place to stay that has a kitchen, even if minimal, and a pool? Did you arrange your apartment before you got there? thanks, Ellen

Studio 99
Hi, we rented an apartment for the month that was super nice with a wonderful staff. If you search on the internet for Studio 99 in ChiangMai it will probably appear. Highly recommended! Kitchen included and a great grocery store not too far away!
