Eating Out

After our return to Chiang Mai with the other trekkers, we decided to meet up in the evening for a meal. The guide, Bon, recommended a restaurant to go to, and gave us the name on a piece of paper in both English and Thai, saying that a tuk-tuk driver would be able to find it.

In a way, Bon was right, though it did take us slightly over an hour to do a journey that in reality could have been done in 5 minutes. On the plus side, we got to see an awful lot of the town....

Bon ordered the food at the restaurant, and it was fantastic, but laced with a vast quantity of chilli. We were laughingly told that the food had been prepared with very little of the spice, so heaven alone knows how hot it might have been.

As a side note, it's useful to sit at the head of the table --- you get fed beer all evening.
