    Came back to Chiang Mai for a quick layover before heading onto my second country Laos!
    Myself and Jaya opted for the minibus back from Pai this time, which was very bumpy but managed the motion sickness!
    Stayed at J's cafe and Poshtel in a private room!
    I coincidentally ended up here for the Chiang Mai flower festival which was a nice experience - i went to some parades, i explored the park with the flower garden show, i watched a water fountain music show.
