Chiang Mai has a different flavour. Lots more bars and small interconnected streets in the old city. Very easy to navigate. Most things within walking distance.
The place we are staying is in the old city. Called 'Thailand Guest House'. Very clean, good food, and a fiver a night...
Big old night market, full of colour, sounds and smells. Brought a tuk tuk, only 3.5 cm long, made out of an old beer can.
Was interested to see what provision was made for special needs pupils after state school. In a word none. A few self sustaining establishments, the one in Chiang Mai by a parent. A craft based enterprise where quite high functioning SLD/Downs artists produce weaved items which were then turned into products; cards; t-shirts; bookmarks, etc.. So Yvonne brought a lot of Christmas presents, you lucky people.
We both like Thai food, so decided to go on a cooking course. We made six different dishes each. After cooking each one we ate it. It was good fun and we meet some interesting and nice people. One guy was a retired police officer from Hull.
Needless to say we did not need to eat again until breakfast the next day.
Went to the 3 D/illusion art gallery, where Mike stood on his lead, and Yvonne surfed the waves. Leave you with the photos.
