Panda House, Chiang Mai, Day 1

After our short trip to Chiang Rai, we are ready to get back to Chiang Mai and start our Christmas celebrations properly. After a long day yesterday, we get up slowly, before heading to the bus station and grabbing some food. We eat at the same place we have every time we have been at the station, mostly for the lovely woman who gives us free fruit and soup. After eating we go to the bus stop and wait. Before long, we are sat down, heading back to Chiang Mai.
The bus doesn't take long and is pretty uneventful, and we are soon in our new hotel. It is nicer then we thought for £8 a night, and really cold for some reason.
After relaxing in the room for a bit, we head out for some festive drinks. It is starting to feel very Christmassy, and after eating a lovely fish curry dish in a very busy restaurant, we head out to some bars. The first stop is a small rock bar in which we are the only customers. After a game of pool we leave and end up in a small restaurant taking advantage of some cheap beer. We soon feel we fancy somewhere with a larger crowd and head to a square of bars near where we used to say. Some of the bars are packed, some more empty. We start in another rock bar, and Amy samples the Thai rum which is very nice. Next up we go to Zoe in yellow, a large bar which is packed full. After nearly being charged double for drinks (luckily Amy was on the ball), we head off to a great reggae bar where a really good band are playing. Here we drink more, and more, and more.
The rest of the night is a bit hazy. After eating some burritos from a street vendor, we head back to the room. After laying down and turning the lights off, unfortunately my burrito resurfaces. It's not going to be a nice day tomorrow.Read more
