Last day in Chiang Mai

Our last day in Chiang Mai involved eating delicious food (yet again...no complaints here!).
  • First stop was Pun Pun, another amazing veggie restaurant run by Buddhists and tucked away in the corner of a Wat, or temple. Then onto Butter is Better, where American apple pie and cinnamon rolls made Dave very happy. Terrible bagel.

  • We drove our motorbike east to find cool shops. Unsuccessful. Found the umbrella factories, ceramics factories and stopped at the Mandarin Oriental, or the shops outside. Not as much fun as we were hoping. Oh well.
  • Back to food! Belgian chocolates for $1 each (amazing truffles), followed by more cake and bagel for Dave. Are you seeing a trend here?
  • Found a cool street for window-shopping and then onto Eli's last foot massage in Thailand, at the Reflexology center. Dave read the guidebook and Eli got a someone painful foot massage, but also theraputic.
  • Time for dinner! Back to Khun Churn for a final and quick Thai dinner - mushroom noodle rolls and Tom Kha, the delicious lemongrass, kaffir lime, galangal flavored coconut milk soup loaded with veggies and brown rice. Eli's in heaven.
  • Off to the airport - Bangkok, then to Hanoi.
  • Spent a quick night (5 hours?) at the Convenient Resort. Great name. Definitely convenient, not a resort.
