Chiang Mai Part 2 and Koh Chang

On Tuesday we went to the National Park where the highest point in Thailand, Doi Inthanon, can be found. This is at the top of a set of mountains near the city. Up there it is pretty cold and the cloud cover prevents you from seeing too far out.

 A little bit down the mountain is a garden and several stupas which are like towers.

 After the trip up to Doi Inthanon we returned to the hotel and got our stuff so we could take the flight back to Bangkok.

On the weekend following the Chiang Mai trip we went to the beach at Koh Chang for the weekend. The next day, Thursday, was spent hanging out around the beach. There were some showers throughout the weekend but I was able to get a Thai massage on the beach before we left. There are many of these massage places right on the beach which are pretty cheap (200 or so baht) for one hour. They all have a view of the ocean which is nice.

In the afternoon on the second day we headed back to the ferry to get to the mainland and return to CRI.

In about four hours I'll be leaving CRI for Suvarnabhumi Airport and in about seven hours I'll be flying back to America.
