November 4, 2008 – 5:55 PM – Hot Chilis Restaurant, Chiang Mai.

I am crazy tired again but I am trying hard to keep this journal thing alive.

Right now I am sitting at an outside restaurant in Chiang Mai enjoying a Singha beer. Kevin and I have realized that everything here is very cheap. 850 Baht for a super nice room at the Mini Cost Hotel, that’s about 24 US bucks a night and about 500 Baht between two people for dinner and four Large 24 ounce beers.


So… to reiterate the day… we woke up at 6:30 AM on the train not feeling too hot because of the several large beers we decided to pack for the train ride. I was talking to some girls from Frankfurt, Germany and also some from Belgium last night and then they ignored me the next day (today). I hate that. Maybe I said some dumb things or maybe they just realized I am not as cool when they are not drinking.


Well, we are in Chaing Mai now, got a hotel as I said called the Mini Cost, showered off all the pollution from Bangkok and then went and got an epic hour long foot and back massage at a place down the alley from our hotel. As I write this now there many are tiny ants crawling all over the table where we will be eating dinner.

Anyways, I am waiting right now for Kevin to finish getting a beard trim at a barber in the restaurant plaza area and then we are going to check out the night market. Don’t know what exactly a night market is but it's in the guidebook and we'll find out soon. Also, we are planning on playing some ping pong later.

P.S. Found out that the night market is really called Night Bazaar.
