Heuan Pak Da, Chiang Mai, Day 5

The final day has arrived and we spend it doing what we have done most of the time we have been here. Unfortunately, as we did plan on doing a bit more today, he first rain we have had in months seems to pour down all day. The first time we do go out we spend all our time running from restaurant to restaurant trying to find somewhere to eat that offers a bit of shelter. We finally settle on a small place where Amy asks for a non-spicy papaya salad and ends up getting a very spicy one.
With the prospect of a ten hour bus journey tomorrow looming ominously in our minds, we pack our bags, and prepare ourselves for the ordeal. Luckily the bus isn't until 10am so we don't have an early wake up call to worry about as well.
As night draws in we take advantage of a gap in the rain and head to a small but nice restaurant. It is freezing outside so we choose a table inside. It is a lovely place, which is a big contrast to the woman who owns it, who is as steely faced and unwelcoming as they come. The food is great, and we leave very full amd very quickly, hoping to avoid the wrath of the scary lady.
We are sad our time in Chiang Mai has come to an end, but after a total of almost ten days here overall, it is time to move on for sure. It is a great place though, and we really feel at home here now. We couldn't have picked anywhere better for our Christmas in Thailand!Read more
