Today was the big day. We were heading to Chiang Mai, a town located in the mountains of northern Thailand. We hopped on an hour flight and were greeted at the airport by Charles, our AirBnb host. He gave us a driving tour of the small town and then showed us his movie collection and how to work his big screen tv. The afternoon was filled with delivery food, movies and naps on the couch. After resting up, we did some exploring of Chiang Mai. I brought mom, dad and Candace to the first hostel I ever stayed in, baan kuhn 2. They got to meet New, the woman who befriended my friends and I when we first arrived in Thailand and helped us to have one of the best christmases ever (as far as Christmases away from home are concerned). She was so happy to meet my family that she gave all of us traditional elephant tunics and handmade bags.
For dinner we enjoyed some street food dishes, including mango sticky rice, banana nutella pancakes and pulled pork from the infamous cowboy hat lady. Everyone enjoyed it, and no one got sick :)
After, we headed to the bar scene and sat at a popup truck bar that served up cold beers and a pretty decent music selection. How did we get home you ask? We took our very first tuk-tuk ride as a family :)
