Along with Jules and her mum, Pat, we headed out for some sightseeing of the old city. Chiang Mai is pretty cool - fairly big, but definitely doesn't feel like it. It's cosy in places and the old city is surrounded by crumbled walls and a moat. We checked out Wat Phra Singh - a Wat or temple close to where were are staying in the old town with some cool ruins and elephants built into the side of the central monument. We then got a Song-thaew - a covered pick-up truck- and Martin and I had fun hanging off the back of it. We went to see Doi Suthep - 306 steps up to another stunning Wat set in the hills overlooking town. We loved the gold covered monuments and took a ton of photos! Our day should have ended with a trip to Chiang Mai's famous night bazaar, but we never got there. We were too distracted by all the great stalls and shopping to be had beside the outdoor food court where we'd eaten many plates of tasty Thai cuisine!!! * Mush
