Winter Break Travels

 We took advantage of the end of semester break to head to northern Thailand seeking cooler temperatures and a change of scenery.  What an experience!  It was only marginally cooler, but we absolutely loved this trip.  We spent 3 days in Chiang Rai, 1 day in Golden Triangle, and finally 3 days in Chiang Mai.  Traveling during a pandemic is a bit more challenging (proof of vaccination, testing, etc.), but because there are so few international tourists in the country it felt like we had the place to ourselves.

Chiang Rai - Day 1

The flowers as we entered the airport should've been a clue.

Chiang Rai Flower Festival

The boys opted for takeaway burgers and electronics time rather than walking through a flower festival. They definitely missed out, it was beautiful and certainly explained all the flowers in the airport when we arrived.

After a street food dinner, we headed back to the hotel. While I enjoy the varied methods of transportation around Thai cities, I still haven't paid to ride on the back of someone's scooter. Here we pile into ?? no idea what it's called.  It was similar to a tuk tuk, but had 4 wheels.
