... I arrived in Chiang Mai. And although I've only been here for 30 minutes, and the weather is terrible, I have the feeling that I'm gonna love this place. But then again, after Phuket it isn't hard to love any new place you go to.
Despite the long trip, it was not tiring at all, since I got a bed from Surat Thani to Bangkok and managed to sleep through all that part of the trip. From Bangkok to Chiang Mai has been a bit worse, mainly because some bright mind in the State Railway of Thailand has decided to put a metal grid with little holes in the windows so watching the landscape from the train becomes as rewarding as watching a codified channel without the proper decoder.
My plan now is to spend here 4 or 5 days, doing a few treks to the nearby hilltribes and visiting other local highlights. Then, if I'm able to get a visa fast enough, my plan is to return to Bangkok doing a little 10-day long loop through Laos, but I don't think that'll be easy. We'll see.
Well, I'll keep you posted on my adventures on Northern Thailand!
