The Best of Chiang Mai III: Sunday markets & City Sleuthing


My Korean familia in Thailand; outside our fabulous hostel

enjoying one of my pastimes in Thailand: that would be eating, and yes, you can never have enough pad thai

Biggest temple in Chiang Mai

the beautiful and ornate interior

I kept wondering why this dude was staring at me until I realized he was a fake!

This one too!

meditative bliss

Biking around town like it's my business

paper lanterns

Chiang Mai's famous Sunday street market

Thailand has the best street food, hands down!
Monks trying to hustle some houseware goods

berry fever

Some of the beautiful street art we passed

I want it all!

everything tastes better when you're drinking out of bamboo!

red hot chili peppers!

I just hit a worldwide empire state sized combo of virtual sensual swooning... ohmalord. that big pot of streetside soup put me over the EDGE! lol And drinks in bamboo? It actually reminded me fo that time that we had heat exhaustion in Kho Phi Phi while planning some maya bay adventure and I rolled out and got us Coconut water and we came to life again. Back to your blogpost... those friggin statues are WAY better than madame tussauds, holy shmoly they look real I think it wouldve creeped me OUT. and look at you with a rented bicycle all up in your chacos. I cant take it, you go on with ur badass self xoxo

haha I'm glad that my tank top is getting to travel at least while I'm stuck at a 9-5 :) It's so crazy to see all these beautiful foreign places when I'm surrounded by 4 beige walls & starring at a computer screen. I'm so happy to live through you & your experiences!
