After Cambodia, we went back to Bangkok to eventually head towards Northern Thailand. A couple days in Bangkok allowed us to see some sights and visit a tailor for custom suits, and then we were on a train north to Chiang Mai. The train was 16 hours overnight, and we had a 2nd class sleeper. It wasn't the fastest or the most comfortable way to travel, but we arrived safely and saw some beautiful scenery along the way. Chiang Mai is a quaint artsy town and it was nice to take it slow, just walking around seeing the Buddhist temples and eating delicious northern Thai cuisine. We enjoyed traditional Thai massages for the bargain price of $5. There were great deals to be had on souvenirs and gifts at the famous night bazaar and the Sunday strolling market. The highlight was when we went on a day trip with “Flight of the Gibbon” to zipline in the rainforest jungles. It was our first ziplining experience and we loved every minute of it, but eventually, it was time to move on and embark on the next adventure....Laos!
