Chiang Mai

There's plenty to do here for a couple of days. Ian fancies the tigers so off we go: it's a reasonable $15 each to enter the enclosure for plenty of photo ops. Why choose babies when you can pat the big ones??  They're sleepy cos nocturnal, but appear healthy and well cared for and very well supervised. We can certainly sense the power within...

Night time we opt for a touristy dinner/show combo, which was quite good. 

This morning we gave alms to monks and visited some temples. Ian was knocked flying by a pack of racing dogs, but luckily landed on top so minuscule blood loss. Who got bigger fright?

There are PLENTY of shops and huge day and night markets to fill in the remaining hours ahead of 2 overnight train trips. This time we are well prepared with food and drink!
