Jan 11th - First day Chiang Mai
January 14, 2020 · 2019 Sabattical, Thailand

So I got to my hostel after the train station, as I had booked it for the night before so it was ready when I arrived. I took a 2-3 hour nap that I needed and then went walk about. I walked about 4 miles - looking at temples.

The Thi Phae Gate



Wat Buppharam


After that I went back to my room, readying my bag and heading out to the Sunday Walking Market. They close down a major street for it. It was awesome - lots of local stuff - it took me about 4 hours walking to get through it, I enjoyed street food. It was much more local and handicrafts than a lot of markets.
It was nice when at 6pm the entire street stopped for the national anthem. So many arts and crafts. Bethany as she would say “I can’t eben” and would be overstimulated.
