Sawatee Kah everyone!
Yesterday was our first full day in the beautiful city of Chiang Mai. We split into groups of three to do explore the city a little bit more by doing a scavenger hunt. We familiarized ourselves by 1st getting a map, and heading out to explore local wats, restaurants and stores. Finding local post boxes, good smoothie places, and cheap elephant pants was a good first introduction to Chiang Mai. That night we headed down to the first night market of the trip. There were hundreds of food stalls and venders lining the streets selling clothes, goods, and yummy food. There were thousands of people enjoying the market right outside the city walls. Everyone found great deals on gap year trousers and dinner all under 10 USD. It was an amazing time and we are all looking forward to the even larger night market tonight. We closed the evening with our first gratitude circle on the roof of the hostel and getting to know everyone a bit better. All is well and we are so excited for the trip ahead. We are off to our first Thai language class, we will hear from you all soon!
