Thailand last stop - Chiang Mai

First, to avoid confusion, we'd like to point out that both Linda and Adrian writes this blog, and that it is a product of their shared thoughts.
When we landed in Chiang Mai International Airport we chose to walk the  6,3 km to the hotel. Partly because we didn't want to pay for an overpriced taxi and partly to see the city. There was a lot more space in the city compared to the compact Bangkok, and that was a huge contribution to why we really liked it. The city had multiple shopping malls and around almost every corner there was a new temple (The place was crawling with cool temples). And we kept being impressed by the awesome mythical animals guarding them. The inner city was pretty cool too. It was surrounded by what was most likely once a city wall and a city moat around that. So the inner city is inside this rectangular area of has-been city wall, and what we assume to be the city moat is now just cozy fountains with lots of fishes (and rats). The city also had a card game shop, which I (Adrian) of course had to visit. We went zip lining one of the days and got some adrenaline kicks. Our resort was great, but expensive
They had a swimming pool and a great breakfast buffet (though the fruit could have been fresher.) And we found soy milk with deep fried twisted doughs ticks (yóutiáo) and a lot of other kinds of street food. Finally we got to taste the famous Thai dessert, mango with sticky rice. The dish also came with coconut milk and.something yellow and crispy. All in all Chiang Mai was a great experience, and a very nice city.
