I'm in Chiang Mai now. It's located in the north and is the second largest city in Thailand. You'd never guess that though. It feels like a small town.
There is a never ending Night Market. I mean it goes on for days. I'd have to guess and say that it is at least 1.25 miles long with all the side streets. I bought these cute little salt and pepper shakers. They hug when put together. :-) I've also seen some table lamps that are pretty cool too. I just don't know what I would do with them. I can't think of a place in my condo to put them.
I was a little scared of my hotel. The pictures online were a little scary and made the place look dated. I tried to change it before I my trip started but they were going to charge me one night's stay. So I said screw it and I'll deal with it. I'm so glad I did! I'm on the Royal floor of this hotel (The Imperial Mae Ping Hotel.) It's on the top floor. My room comes with a butler, maid, and floor attendant. There is also a large private lounge, conference center, and bar on the floor. I missed cocktail hour because I was sleeping. I'll try tomorrow. When I go back I have to decide which pillow I want. I have a choice of 12 pillows. I think I may just need to get them all and see what works. It's going to be hard to go home from this. I wonder if I can take the staff home with me.
Tomorrow is my first day of cooking school. I can't wait. It's just cooking for 6 hours a day. I wonder if they can show me a way to make curry without making my whole place stink.
