Chiang Mai is a great city to just hang out in. Filled with temples, markets, book stores, cafes, fresh fruit smoothies and $5 massage shops, it's a city you could imagine never leaving. And judging by the looks of it, some people never do. You see many an aging hippy running around in their flip flops with their long gray hair and gray beards looking like they just forgot to go home 40 years ago. Yeah, Chiang Mai is that kind of place.
We only meant to stay here for seven nights but ended up spending 10. We were supposed to head next to an island on the Andaman coast, but because it's close to New Year's Eve, there are no rooms to be found anywhere. So we'll be making a detour and heading off to Siem Reap, Cambodia instead, home of Angkor Wat and other amazing ancient temples. So we bid Chiang Mai a fond adieu. We really enjoyed our time here.
