wat market wat market wat

Ok, nearly caught up with myself... We've been in Chiang Mai for a couple of days now. The number of markets here is amazing, and the place is well-known for its Night Bazaar, which is HUGE. We had a preliminary viewing last night, and then had to come home for a rest. I will return...

Our local coffee/ bike rental shop

Today we rode around on our rented push bikes, taking in the sights and stopping when we felt like it. First stop was Warorot Market, a local market over three floors, with a great view of the main floor.

Then it was an exhausting route of coffee shops, side streets (sois), wats, lunch.
