Return to Chiangmai

Friday 15th - Saturday 16th September 2017

Friday

We awoke to another knock on the door this morning to which I went into full panic mode! Luckily it was 5:50am and was for everyone to get up and get ready as we were leaving before 7 to go to the elephant sanctuary! It took about 3 hours to get there and it was honestly the best! We fed the elephants first before having a wander around and taking a few pictures with them, went for the most amazing buffet vegetarian lunch, watched a short film about the elephants and why they need to be rescued and lastly bathing the elephants in the river. It was absolutely incredible! When we got back, Emma and I went to get our laundry done and then had a wander around the night markets, I made a start on getting a few souvenirs. As the Northern Thai Highlights people were leaving us in the morning, we all met for drinks just before 10. We did the classic how many people can you fit in a tuk tuk and hat left Codie and Kerry hanging on to the outside. They were messing around (shock) and one minute Kerry was there, the next minute he was sucked into the streets of Chiangmai! Luckily he was fine but it was the funniest thing! Emma and I didn't stay out too long as we are permanently exhausted at the moment, but I still managed to get a free drink from some rando who knocked my beer (that had like a sip left) out my hand! Win win! 

Saturday

Today it was time to say goodbye to Thailand, so we had to catch two short flights - one from Chiangmai to Bangkok and then another from Bangkok to Luang Prabang. Thailand it's been amazing! I will definitely be returning!
