Trekking in Chiang Mai

Twelve hours in an overnight bus from Bangkok wasn't a bad way to reach Chiang Mai. I read, I slept and then read some more.  At around 7 am, I collected my travel bag, hopped on a red van thingy with 8 or do visitors which then dropped us of at our respective guesthouses.

Eating Everything in Bangkok

Scorpions and silk worms on Khaosan Rd., Bangkok, Thailand

I landed in Bangkok just before 11pm, stood in que for a few minutes so that I could hire a taxi that would take me 45 minutes to my hostel.  Wide awake, I took in the highway.  It resembled much of the highways and byways in other major cities.  I checked in and took a shower and waited for sleep.  I stared at the louvers and the fancy bricks as I laid in bed.  It reminded of my grandmothers' house in Trinidad.  I pulled the thin covers closer to my chest but then my feet was exposed to the night air.  I tried to close the louvers, but they were broken... oh Bangkok!
