Chiang Mai City

We got the overnight bus and arrived in Chiang Mai on Tuesday morning, it is hard to believe this is the second largest city in Thailand because it is alot smaller than Bangkok. We spent the day looking around, there are heaps of temples in the city centre, but it was quite humid. We then spent the evening at the night bazaar, clothing here was much cheaper that in Bangkok, and there was a traditional Thai dance show which we sat and watched, their dress is so intricate and beautiful (we think the one on the left is a ladyboy). We had a bit of trouble finding somewhere that offered a 5 day trek, they all offer 2-3 day saying that was enough, but we found a guesthouse that organised it for us, so got some good sleep Tuesday night before we head to the mountains.
