Friday, January 13....Sounds so scary!!

Ch-Ch-Ch ~ Ha-Ha-Ha

That is supposed to be the Friday the 13th scary sound from the movie.

I hope everyone had a great Friday even if it was the 13th. Although January 13 is personally a tough day for me, I find that Fiday the 13th is actually more good luck than bad like people seem to fear.

Anyway, On with the show!

Today I had a flight booked on Thai Airways from Bangkok to Chiang Mai... Finally getting out of Bangkok! 

I was up fairly early, got showered, got packed, and had some time to spare.... So I was off to get some breakfast. From there it was back to the hotel, got a taxi, and was on my way to the airport. I didn't have to sit at the airport too long, and I was on a plane headed to Chiang Mai. Upon my arrival in Chang Mai I grabbed my luggage and headed out in a taxi to my hotel. After getting settled into my hotel room, I decided to walk around and just take a look at things. Plus I needed to find an Internet café to take care of some business. I also decided to go check in at the Elephant Nature Park office, and the Flight of the Gibbon office to make sure everything was in order for my adventures. I was then on my way back to my hotel to get some sleep.... 5 AM comes early!

My stop for breakfast

Pad Thai and a fruit smoothie

Yummy!

That there would be my taxi driver.

 This is absolutely the biggest billboard I have ever.....

Seen!!!

There is my ride to Chang Mai.

Hanging out waiting at gate B4.

Chang Mai

Hey – look there's my luggage!

This is an unbelievable piece of furniture that was on display at the airport. I just love it!

Taxi to the hotel.

The view from my hotel room.

This is my room, and I'm not sure how but I ended up with two smaller beds rather than one big one....It's all good.

Statues out in front of the hotel.

The night bazaar

Me hanging out over by Starbucks.

A fresh fruit smoothie was actually my dinner for the night. Just a little over one dollar.

Walking down the street by the old moat. I will get some daytime shots of this on Sunday.

I noticed at nighttime by the moat that there are a lot of rats! Look close down by the tree.

This is a rather unique bar I seen when I was walking down the street.

Checking in at the Flight of the Gibbon.

A very large wooden elephant carving.

Inside one of the gem and jewelry shops.

All walls inside the shop are covered like this.

I was thinking about getting another massage ~ Maybe sometime in the next few days.

While wandering around kind of lost I spotted the Rasta Café.

So that pretty much covers my day folks.
Sorry so boring.


Now that I am in Chang Mai things will hopefully start getting a little more exciting. I have a zip line adventure planned for the morning, and was also thinking about going and seeing some Tigers while in town. On Monday morning I will be headed out to the Elephant Nature Park for a one week volunteer adventure. There will be a lot of pictures in the next 10 days!
I just hope that I have good Internet so that I can upload them to the blog.


Once again, thanks for following the blog, and thanks for all the comments.
Have a Great Positive Day!
