Today we checked out of the Four Seasons to experience a little of downtown Chiang Mai. The FS is a good 40 mins outside town, and our trips in were so great we wanted to check it out a bit more. It’s definitely an expat town, and very easy and friendly. We toured some wats, … Continue reading

This morning we got up, had a great little breakfast at our hotel (Promthong Mansion – highly recommended) and headed out on our bikes for a tour. First stop: Ayutthaya train station to see about exchanging our seats on the night train to be beds on the night train. The language barrier is a bit … Continue reading

We found a great guest house in Ayutthaya that provided a cool oasis from the 100 degree day biking around the ancient wats.
