Bus to Chiang Rai

---

Thurs 15th Feb:
Got up fairly early, went and had breakfast and then headed for the Arcade bus station.

After a 4 hour bus journey, which stopped at a few stops along the way (most of which were deserted places that sold drinks, snacks and had toilets), we arrived at Chiang Rai.

Chiang Rai is small town, with not a lot to it really. We found a hostel that is okay, and only costs us 1 pound each a night. We spent the night walking around the market and then had a few drinks and started to plan our next step.


Fri 16th Feb:
Just walked around today seeing the market and a few Wats, spent the morning planning money, route etc. for Laos and Cambodia and updated the Blog. More a planning day really not much to tell.

Chiang Rai street
Apart from the main roads, most the smaller roads in Chiang Rai look like this.

Wat Jed Yod
This is right by our hostel. Our balcony is about 20 metres away and you can hear the prayers there at about 8 at night.

just a little silliness- You canBuy Lion poo from Safari Park type places here and you just scatter a small amount in tubs and borders. I'm reliably informed that you won't have any problem with neighbourhood frisky felines. Don't worry I dont expect you to bring any back.
