Since Wednesday I've been in Chiang Mai. When I arrived at the train station, I went straight to the hostel. Well, it was supposed to be a hotel but it was quite run down... Anyway, I had only booked for 2 nights... At least that was the plan.
In the evening, I went to have dinner...
I had coconut soup and stir-fried chicken with lots of garlic. The soup was labeled with a mild level of spiciness.. BUT holy moly, it blew my mind... It was so damn spicy, I could only eat half of it.. I devoured the rice from the 2nd dish ๐
Afterwards, my stomach was rumbling, it burned three times, I thought. So, I went to the room and rested ๐
On Thursday morning, I took a walk around the city. I had the idea of changing the hostel and planning the next two days for activities. So, I went to a bar to plan everything. The hostel was quickly found. It was supposed to be a sleep cabin in the middle of the city at Night Bazaar for 3 days. On Friday, I booked a day at an elephant farm including a jungle hike and on Saturday, I will go to a cooking school for half a day.
Originally, I wanted to book everything at the tourist information at the train station, but the good man was sleeping on the counter at noon 11:30 and I found it rude to wake him up at such an ungodly hour. So, I booked it myself via internet and email contact. I hope it works out.
The Thais... In Chiang Mai, I saw so many people sleeping in their shops when there are no customers or like yesterday, when I arrived and was on the way to the hotel. One guy was sleeping on the sidewalk next to his moped because it was raining ๐๐
I'm really excited about the trips. In any case, I'm going to the Night Bazaar today and as luck would have it, I live right on the bar street and I didn't even plan it that way.
...But once I'm here... ๐
Oh, by the way, I'm definitely going to visit the big temples in Chiang Mai and the ancient city walls. ๐
