We are in, according to one internet review, the “premeire (sic) gay hotel of Asia.” First impressions: Very nice and clean.
Day: December 26, 2010
Beer gardenesque @ Lavender Sky Bar, Chiang Mai
Feels like Nara or Kyoto. Cool breeze, too.
About 3 hours to Chiang Mai

Everybody warned us about the long, windy mountain roads on the way to Chiang Mai, but they aren’t bad at all. I guess it’s because there isn’t a hill in sight standing on the tallest building in Maha Sarakham (my uni’s admin building). I’m moblogging this and eating with Mina right now, and we are in the windiest roads of the whole trip.
The scenery in these mountains looks a lot like Japan, except for the abundant banana trees. I’d rather be sliding around these corners in my old Silvia with speakers blaring ADF instead of bouncing around in a university van, but then again, who wouldn’t?
BTW, Max and Mina are being veritable angels so far.
