Bangkok > Chiang Mai

Well, I’m off. Got out of the house this morning by 9:45. I ordered a GRAB last night, and paid extra for a nicer car. Here, that translates to better A/C and more space for your stuff. I had just grabbed my stuff and was sitting on the house steps putting on my shoes, when this sleek black ( oh good lord, at 1st I thought it was a Mercedes) 4 door pulls up with dark tinted windows. It looked very out of place in our little “soi”. Kinda like those Asian mafia generalizations you see in the movies. The big guy shows up on a tiny local street in a super nice car. 🤦‍♀️
