Huean Pak De, Chiang Mai, Day 4

So boxing day has already come around, and as always Christmas has seemed to pass in the blink of an eye.
We are both very much still in the stay in bed and watch movies state of mind that usually accompanies Christmas at home, and this leads to another slow morning. After grabbing some dinner, again at the great cafe near us that does a fruit shake and a big meal for 65 baht (£1.50ish), we decide to do what we initially planned to do on Christmas Eve and go and see Star Wars.
Obviously we are very excited for the film (well, I am) but it is also very interesting to see a Thai cinema. It does not dissapoint, with some of the comfoest cinema seats I have ever sat in. We face a slight rush to make it there, and arrive a few minutes before start time, unsure if you are bombarded with adverts like England or if start time means start time.
If anything, there are more adverts, and it is around half an hour until we stand for the national anthem and the film starts. The patriotism on show and the love for the King is incredible, and it really shows everywhere you go.
The film is great on a huge screen with sound effects that rattle your ear drums, and is truly an experience. Even Amy, who before this had seen one Star Wars film which she hated, enjoyed it, which is really saying something.
We get a taxi back and get dropped off at the same restaurant we ate at on Christmas Eve. We again have the pizza as it is so good and there is only so much Pad Thai a man can eat!
After that we walk home, before relaxing for the night, sad that tomorrow is the final day of our Christmas break, and the final night in this lovely hotel.Leer más
