Chiang Mai

The Inside House hotel

From Singapore, I did a quick trip to Chiang Mai, Thailand. It was great.  We went to a Hmong village (which was oriented toward tourists, with a street of little stalls selling crafts, etc.), and a beautiful temple on top of the mountain. We also spent a morning at an elephant sanctuary (Elephant Nature Park) where we walked around near the elephants. And we went to the night market and enjoyed some delicious mango sticky rice.
