Day 128 – Chiang Rai.

We had a few hours left with our bike (Barbara) so after breakfast we decided to take it out again. We popped back to Central Plaza to pick up a few things we didn’t get yesterday and then went for a short drive around the town. We feel quite sad to hand her back as we became quite attached to it. Felt like a local because we just hopped on it and rode around wherever we wanted to go!

The next few hours were spent just chilling in the hostel as Chrissy wanted to get some drawing done for work, which gave me a chance to write some of this as I haven’t in a few days.

We then walked down the road and went out for dinner, which was really disappointing! As you know I like to look on Trip Advisor for places to go and I found some recently opened burger place by an Australian guy. I thought this must be good, I was totally wrong. The food was bland and terrible but the service was amazing. I should probably just copy and paste this as a TA review right now. After here we walked around the Night Bazaar (market), which was also disappointing. Everything was overpriced and no one wanted to bargain with me. I think because it’s here every night they don’t really care. This made me even more gutted about missing out on last night’s market.

The final thing I wanted to see in Chiang Rai was the Clock Tower show. There is a roundabout with a clock tower on it and on the hours of 7, 8 and 9pm it has a light and sound show. Imagine the Disneyland castle but smaller, basically the same thing. It was a cute little thing and went on for about 5 minutes. Once that was over we went back to the hostel to pack up all ready for our flight to Bangkok early tomorrow morning!
