Arrival in Chiang Rai

On the flight, there was a group of young Korean men wearing the same salmon pink blazers. Nobody paid special attention to them on the flight, but at baggage claim there were screaming teenagers waving Thai and South Korean flags. I haven’t figured out who these men were; a google search didn’t reveal any special events in town.

I took a taxi from the airport to my accommodation - Baan Baramee - located in downtown Chiang Rai. I breathed the cool air. It felt so good to be back in Thailand. This is a culture I have lived in, and I was so happy to be immersed back in it, albeit only for a few days while I make my way to the Laotian border.

After checking in I went on a quick jaunt to 7-11 for some snacks before turning in for the night.
