After just a day in Chiang Mai we were so in love with the laid back atmosphere of this town that we booked ourselves a whole week here. Thanks to Jacqui's recommendation we have been staying in a fantastic hotel: private twin room, crisp white linen, airconditioning, buffet breakfast, 25m pool, sun loungers, free wifi, beautiful gardens all for £4 a night!

"Stop worrying about the potholes in the road and celebrate the journey!" Here we go again! With Africa out of my system (for now), it's time to set out to explore the big wide world and discover some new places to fall in love with. With a one way ticket to Sydney and a WHV in my pocket/email account I'm heading down under in search of streets paved with gold and the Pommie pipedream of living it up in the sun.

Me and my wife have been to Bangkok twice, we wanted to go back to Thailand but this time with our 1 and 2 year olds. Your blog made me feel like Chiang Mai is a very laid back , relaxing and maybe good vacation spot for parents with kids, am I right? And Im sorry, but I think the red spiky fruit is not lychee, I think thats rambutan, we have that too in the Philippines. Yes, its better tasting and sweeter than lychees.

Chiang Mai great for kids
Hi Aries and Rinka, I think Chiang Mai would be great for kids, plenty of families staying at Imm Eco Hotel where we stayed, definitely laid back. Thanks for info on fruits, still trying to learn and taste all these new foods out here, but having great fun trying!

Sticky Rice and Mango
Bob, really want to try this still, every time I want it I've just eaten big plate of noodles and too full for desert. Will have to have it for dinner one day!

Great blog. I enjoyed reading it. BTW, the fruit which you called lychee is actually a rambutan

Rambutan
Thanks RamG, I've since learnt from other market visits that it's rambutan and discovered it is very tasty!
