We took the overnight train out of smelly, noisy, filthy, fantastic Bangkok (we're saving up all the sightseeing for when Ma Browne arrives in July) and, after adventures with beer and crackers, turned up, completely exhausted, in Chaing Mai. We're slowly recovering with the aid of great food, mellow people and lots of temples.
This afternoon, we're off for Monk Chat and, maybe, an introduction to Buddist meditation. I've always liked orange.
Getting psychedelic in the Drunken Flower Blues Bar.
Boy oh boy - they love the blues in this town. And some bands, like this one, play some amazing stuff. What a night.
This is the highest Jenga puzzle we've ever played. Everyone at the bar turned around and held their breath. It actually got two layers higher. And then Dames toppled it with his usual panache. Nice one, Jules.
Wat Doi Sumet, overlooking the city.
Scruffy Dames prepares to Enter the Dragon.

We're going to cook like this every day when we get home.

Dames' favourite nibble.
So, how fresh are your fish, exactly?
Tom yum!
Ready, steady...
...gone.

It must be hard work having all that fun. Cool pics, nice to see you're learning to cook - remind me, how much cheese is there in one of Damian's Thai surprises?
Have a beer for me, and take care.
Matt, Annie and Dylan.
Half a pound of mature cheddar, plus three fried eggs, dude.
Sounds suspiciously like one of your egg surprises. Does it include lard?
