That's right, we got to Chiang Mai to pure Shinchanear or loose as they say. Chiang Mai is northern Thailand and is the pride of them. Furthermore it is focused 100% traditional and nontraditional tourism.
As part of the traditional tourism is all that would be the trekings, rafting, elephant rides, go see senhoras tribes with neck stretching with rings. At first we were going to make a trek that included all that in one day (do not know how they succeeded, maybe up the elephant senhora rafts or long neck above the elephant or both), but in the end decide to change our trip and we will go through Laos. And it seems that Laos is better for all that is ecotourism stew.
This was not a bad decision because we had nine full days in Chiang Mai and how lucky we are we just played a festival called Loi Kratong. The Loi Krathong is a festival celebrated for 12eava anho full moon and lasts for about 3 days. People go to the river and throw offerings as we throw in the Ganges, is also part of the tradition of giant balloons with candles pull down on the balloons have to write some hope that one wants to be met. It's amazing because the sky is filled with balloons, and it lasts all the time and for 3 days. We print 2 balloons and the first to throw nearly succeed but I did not, watch the following video.
There are also many fireworks. The idea is that each purchase fireworks in the street, from the innocent spark to grenades (were some giant firecrackers were thrown into the river and exploded pinned under the water). The picture was a delight to Coaniquem or staff Sotero del Rio, hordes of people throwing fireworks at each other. In the following video in which Don Graf personifies Meche can see a Thai boy with the burned face.
Anyway fun was all hyper, was equivalent to anho again but for 3 days! Uff. One day we took 2 each and tails were left with a hell Canha (compare Chapter 5, and 7 months ago), luckily it was the last day of the festival. ALARM

also one day we rented a motorbike and went to go around, we went to Wat Doi Suthep which is uphill and we seemed like a couple of idiots up the hill on a mini scooter . Top of the hill had a complex of temples and a gazebo, all very nice, also a Buddhist monk gave his blessing at a ceremony far more serious than those for the Indians in Pushkar.
Anyway, we traveled a lot on all sides. We made a very bacan cooking course and learned to make Pad Thai, which is delicious and cheap. Renew our stock of books and we had already sold the finished. And we saw giant gongs. (Put the subwoofer to the whole pig to collect the mega gong)
also tested delicious food, as these camaronsazos.
and also sold fried bugs, but not tested because we are against abuse of insects.
Now, back to the traditional tourism and nontraditional ... Non-traditional tourism is based on the world's oldest profession and what we have seen there is a high likelihood that the profession was invented here. From the first day we realized it was full of tourists with "girlfriends" Thai, we were thinking: "Incredible ability to share with the villagers" or "sociable which is the German gentleman." After we saw that all the restaurants were full of "girlfriends" that greeted tourists. In fact much of the tourism industry in Chiang Mai moves thanks to these ladies of the night or hookers, and that the innocent tourists once more fell not release him. The girls walk to their customers in all markets of Chiang Mai and take all the restaurants and temples, being pear with the best jewelry and lunch.
That would, manhana we start to Siem Reap in Cambodia, we will see Ankor which is one of the important milestones since we had planned the trip.
