We arrived at Chiang Mai at around 10am, which is more than one hour after its scheduled time but that's ok with us since our check-in time for the Airbnb is after 10am anyway. We, by default, called an Uber but there wasn't a… Continue reading Asia Day 27: Chiang Mai (Khao Soi – Huen Phen)

Asia Day 24: Bangkok
Photo of the day: View from the Sky Bar. Photo credit: Aaron. We decided last night we needed a more quiet day today, given the last few days have been pretty intense.
