Chiang Rai, 6-7/10/2019

I spent most of the late morning and early afternoon traveling the 182 km by bus, which takes somewhere between 3 and 4 hours averaging only a rough 52 kph. After settling in, the main thing I wanted to see was the clock tower before a hasty return to the hotel for a swim. I was astounded that just after I sat down by the pool one of the staff came out bearing a tray table laden with fruit, cakes and water- a very nice touch! I can highly recommend the Nak Nakara Hotel, should you find yourself in Chiang Rai .

The next day after a slow start I went on a haphazard walkabout visiting some of the numerous temples around the city.
