Chiang Dao

From Chiang Rai, we got on a bus to a city called Fang (great name for a town, isn't it?), and then onto another bus to our next destination, Chiang Dao.

We stayed in a place called Malee's Nature Lover's Bungalows. Sounds really nice and beautiful, doesn't it? In the end, it was more like a back room on an old concrete building with a bed harder than camping. We have no idea where they got the pictures that they put on the Internet, but it was very cheap, and the common room building for eating, sitting and reading was very beautiful.
They had tons of National Geographic magazines, and they were actually in English!! So that kept us happy for a long time. One of the most annoying things here is that Thai magazines all have covers in English. So you are lulled into thinking that you have found actual reading material, and then you open it up, and everything but the titles is in Thai. Awww!!!
Chiang Dao is known for its caves. We went and explored a little, which was fun. Typical Thailand, the space in the caves was used to put up a little shrine and some Buddha statues.
Oh!! And we found the door into Narnia:
