Arrived at Chiang Mai early in the morning. Checked into our hotel just outside the city walls, Baan Thai. It was a good basic hotel, with the luxury of having a pool! We have some breakfast and get settled into our rooms, then go to Doi Suthep, the hilltop temple. It is unfortunately too smoky (due to burning off - hot season) to get a good view from the top. We then head into Chiang Mai town and have some lunch at a restaurant owned by expats which provides food and veterinary help to street dogs and cats. Later that night we went to watch a Muay Thai match and went to a pub called the Riverside and enjoyed a night of dancing, drinking and talking with some locals we met. Stayed out perhaps a bit too late given we start a 3 day trek tomorrow morning!!
