The past 5 months seemed a long journey. Works and acqusitions of new projects has taken the sapping of energy. I had to take a break. Where to none other than the land of Thousand Temples. Siam. Chiang Mai specifically for the Songkran water festival. It's also the Thais new year. The place is quaint yet beautiful and lots of places to sight see. The second largest city is square bounded by a moat which was used to fend off marauding Burmese in the north. The old city is as if swallowed by the new. Loads of eatery serving local Thai and International delicacies. Dont forget the spas - loved the Let's Relax - been to all except the one in Pattaya. A bliss. Night life is the Night Market and the numerous watering hole. The people are friendlier than the Thais of the south. This trip confirmed that all maidens from Chiang Mai are beautiful and friendly. Wanna go again.
Songkran festival - splashing of water, such a smashing couple of days of solid fun with the ultimate water blaster. Look at these photos.
