Arrive in Chiang Mai

So this morning we gleefully departed for the Phuket airport terminal and flew to Chiang Mai via Bangkok. We arrived around 4PM, checked into Kristi Guesthouse, which is located on a quiet soi (alley) inside the moat of the 'old city'.

After getting settled, we then went to the Chiang Mai Night Bazaar, a large outdoor night market that sells just about everything. It seemed to cater to very much to tourists, with lots of hill-tribe artwork, but also lots of copy-watches, T-shirts, and other paraphenalia. The initial asking price (very high), and the rapid rate at which they brought prices down also confirmed this impression.

Afterwards, I did an epic blog update to catch-up from the back-log of the islands.
