On our last day in Bangkok we checked our bags and went out to do some shopping and run some errands. We stopped by a Thai massage place and tried our luck. It would be my first massage I would ever get and after the experience it will certainly be my last. I have felt better playing a tackle football, without stretching and also had not done any physical activity for the months leading up to that. It was three days ago and I still don't have full range in my neck.
   Besides all that the trip has been going very well. We took a bus up to Chiang Mai, which is in Northern Thailand and this place is cool. Small cafes, bars, and the shops we visited so far are unique and beautiful. While we were in Bangkok, you find the same merchandise all over the city. Here, from what I gather so far is more handcrafted and more "artsy".
    Most of the hostels are cheap but they would like you to participate in the activities they offer. On Monday we are planning to go to an elephant training park where Annie and I will get an elephant to take care of for the day. We ride around on his back, Bathe him and try out a few tricks. I'm really looking forward to that.
    On Tuesday we signed up for a cooking class. They take us shopping in the local market and then we choose a few dishes to make. It seems like a lot of fun.
     I have limited time on the computer so I have to run. I will give you the details of our future plans later on.
    
   PS: Hope all who went to the Bay Shore Parade had a good time and a drink for Annie and I:)
