Chiang Mai





Well after waiting around at the Ferry station, Train station, then the Bus station we made it to Chiang Mai. We got in late last night and have yet to see the town. Our time on the beach was nice. We both got a lot of sun and Naomi is blistered up but good. She thought beings from California and all that she could handle all of the sun. Not so. Our fishing trip was a fishing trip and not much of a catching trip. We had a nice time on a pretty interesting boat. One Barracuda was caught and there were numerous other species of small fish brought on board as well. We didn't get sick unlike many of the others. Poor bastards. We did see numerous fish jumping here and there and they appeared to be barracudas. We don't know for sure but they jump similar to a pink salmon. Mr. Ung was our skipper and just from his name you have a pretty good idea of what he looked like. The bilge on the boat ran nonstop and the railings weren't attached very well, but there were life jackets on board.

I was disappointed to leave as I had found my favorite restaurant to eat, Uncle Noi's. They had a good selection of tasty food and made one heck of a goy ban (banana shake). When I told them I was full they called me an ape. I thought that was Thai for full but after looking in my book I am not so sure. Regardless they were good people and fun to chat with.

Thanks for checking in and we're off to find a Thai cooking course and an elephant trek for our stent here.

Hey, the pictures are great...thanks. I can see that you two have settled right in and are probably going to pull a Moniz and miss your flight home. And from the looks of things I'd conclude that Idaho skin burns more than California skin. No way around the tourist look when you are trying to cram a whole year's worth of sun into a couple days.
