After four hectic days in the northern capital of the kingdom of a milion rice fields, we hit the road again. Well, to be precise, this time we'll hit the rails, as we are taking the "afternoon-night train" train to bangkok, to try to make a connection to Angkor in Cambodia.
During the last four days we have enjoyed a completely diferent city to Bangkok. Chiang Mai has a quiet and relaxed Old Quarters, the city "intra-muros" where is possible to stroll without as much risk of being run over by various means of transport as in Bangkok. Multiple buddist temples add to the tranquility and relaxing athmosphere of the city, while many markets, night markets, bazaars, food stands and ultra modern comercial malls make for the ancient trade tradition of this city.
We have not only been in the city, we have also enjoyed one of the most beautiful mountail natural parks in the country, with the highest mountain (Doi Ithanon 2590m), and multiple waterfalls, etc.
OK, time to rush to the station!!
