Full 24 hours in Chiang Mai

Okay since it is fresh in my mind at the moment.
Yesterday I woke up at 6am, headed out into the alleyways of Chiang Mai to grab a Caramel coffee, wifi and cinnamon toast. (btw you can't can't get this easily in China at least not in Jilin)
During the day we went out to find a holla hoop for Karrie since it was National Holla Hoop day back at home.
We were unsuccessful since:
1. They were more of a work out kind of holla (which makes them read heavy)
2. For some reason they had water in them or ridiculously huge.

After wards we went back to our hotel to recuperate.
By 5pm we were off again to the Sunday market.
Just to let everyone know when I say biggest market ever I really do mean it. It was rows and rows of shopping for as far as the eye can see.
During this time I bought these Mash Potato Balls from a street vender, I don't want to use this word to loosely but: Fuck were they darn yummy.
35 dollars Canadian later I had bought : 2 shirts, 1 pair of pants, 1 beautiful skirt, 2 bangles, a leather bracelet,  another jingle about gypsy like bracelet and a beautiful leather bound art book.
Dropped things off back at the hotel to get dolled up and we were ready for the last part of our night.

THC roof top bar: Was fantastic, the music made me smile all night and I couldn't stop dancing in my seat let along when I stood up. I am going back for sure.
They were playing my kind of music and they get a full 10 points for this.

We met some people at the bar as we always do, they taught us how to play 'Lobster shit' (that was taught to an American by Chinese people) and 'Zoo' Both equally fun drinking  games that remind me of English  games that I use to play in class, more 'Zoo' than the other one.

After drinking several rum and redbull it was time to head off for our midnight snack plus they kicked us out of the bar...lol
Off to a place called Mike's btw their chili isn't very good but their burgers are.

it is time to party.

Well I am off to finish my coffee. I hope you enjoyed the randomness of yesterdays adventure.

Arrival in Chiang Mai

So Karrie and I took a bus for 12 hours from Ayuthaya to Chaing Mai.
In the middle of the night the AC busted, I seriously thought I was going to die in that double decker hot box.
Luckily they fixed it before we got back on the bus.

We finally arrived at 6:30am went to a hotel to get some sleep since I didn't get any on the over night bus.
But the freaken hotel had bugs!
We grabbed Pad Thai and a Thai Omelet on rice for breakfast.
Slept all day to recuperate from the torturous bus ride.

For dinner we went to the street market to pick up food, the local food was delicious.
We met an awesome couple on the street after walking the Night Bazaar.
That night we went out to a bar called 'Spicy' foreigners  were rampant at that bar.

The next afternoon, we changed hotels. We are now staying at a place that costs 180Baht a night!!
The lady was wearing cat ears when we showed up, she owns a bunch of cats.
When we went to look at the room the kitty inspected it with us. =^.^=

We are heading out to the Sunday market today to replace our wardrobe since Karrie and I have been holding off for two weeks.
Seriously no shopping for two whole weeks.....talk about restraint.

Things are unfolding as it will.
We are wishing you were here.

Sign in our room, WTF?

Street market food.

Leaving Ayuthaya

In my element.

SOM TAM: Spicy papaya salad

Somethings have just been about coincidences, this part of our trip was just a great recommendation from my dear friend Asia who has been back in Canada for about 6 weeks. (she was in Thailand before that)

So we rented a tuk-tuk saw I want to say 8+ temples on and outside of the island.
I ate Som Tam- A very spicy salad.
Tiny maple/raisin waffles- uber yummy.
Took a over 200 photos!!

Off to Chiang Mai tomorrow....we arrive the next day just in time for breakfast!!

Check out the photos!

Arrival in Kanchanaburi, Thailand

So we arrived in Kanchanaburi yesterday afternoon we checked into a room with a pool, fresh fruit shakes, next to a river and mountains....

1. In the process of planning things for the next couple days we had an assortment of bumps along the road.
2. Karrie got some bug bites that hindered her walking but nothing some antihistamines couldn't fix.
3. My camera broke, but we picked up a replacement today so not to worry there will be an assortment of photos being posted along the way.
4. The head phones I brought had an accident and now I am using my 2nd pair in Thailand, lucky I bought them for cheap in China.
5. Our calculator and me don't mix I broke that too.
6. We went to the post office to try to lighten the load but it cost to much, plus we need the exercise. 
7. We tried to meet some friends from Bangkok on the bridge on the river of Kwai in Kanchanaburi but it didn't work so well.

But oddly enough fate has decided that we had to meet up with them once again. They appeared at the right place at the right time, while Karrie was going to the store.

I had a fantastic evening with the boys!! They are awesome individuals....to bad we couldn't spend more time together.

Wish you were here.
