March 7 - Chang Mai. After a sleepless night on the bus I arrived in Chang Mai. A much smaller city than Bangkok yet more touristy as a whole. Full of trekking groups headed to the north of Thailand. People looking for a cheap message and of course the masses of Thai and foreign tourists looking for some cheap goods at the night market. Spent the morning looking for a good guesthouse and found a great one. Then got oriented with the down town city streets. Its a relatively small downtown surrounded by a moat. Spent some time looking into Thai cooking courses and motor bike rentals. At dusk headed to the "local's" market for a street food snack and some exploring.
