Chiang Mai on a bike

For anyone spending time in Thailand, I'd highly recommend a trip up to Chiang Mai at some stage. It's sort if like the capital of the north, and its much smaller than Bangkok. The city has many things to do, is rich in culture and history (riddled with temples and old walls) and is much more accessible to the average traveler than "krung thep"...

We spent most of our time buzzin around the city on bikes which was one of the most simply enjoyable things I've done in a while. "Nong Fa" at the baha'i centre was kind enough to ride around with us for the first few days then once we got to know the city we formed our own biker gang and tried to assert our dominance over rival gangs. That did'nt really take off so we just spent our time spinnin in and around the city at night getting lost.

It's been tricky for some reason trying to put photos on the blog recently, but I did manage to get one or two up. above is one of Ali in chiang mai that I took from the back of a bike with nong Fah driving... I have been able upload some photos of the last while on facebook (including a few on the bikes). Here are the public links:
