Got on the VIP bus for the 3 hour journey to Chaing Rai.
We figured out after a while that the hostess was infact a man dressed as a girl, very funny! Kept looking for a willy! How childish!
J delighted with the leg room & fully reclining seats, we even got to watch a film in Thai, got free peanuts (chicken flavour) & a bottle of water.....what more could you ask for I hear you cry?
Stumbled accross the best roast dinner ever in the Coconut bar, loads of meat & roast potatoes proper like! Got chatting to a few of the locals there & on the way back the huge golden clocktower in the middle of the roundabout was going off only we didn't know why there were crowds of people there. Turns out this thing turns into an all dancin, all singin clock tower complete with moving parts, music, flourescent lights & all! Very surreal & quite scary.....
Didn't help the traffic either!
Went to the walking market on Saturday night & luckily hadn't eaten so we had walking eating market!
This comprised of walking up & down with the locals trying to explain what each dish was, us then deciding if it was anything weird like hearts, chicken cartilage etc & generlly deciding if it looked ok then let's try it!
We had JJ's favourite satays, pork balls (no not testicles), massive pork dumplings filled with minced pork, spring onions with a parsnip like taste that looked like a flattened char sui bun, wantons, funny taco shell like things with a coconut cream & pumpkin topping.
I want to know how to make noodles? Any ideas?
The rain didn't let up at all so trekking was out of the question, as if we needed an excuse, so we booked to leave the next day for Laos!
