Jk I’m planning on writing an update tonight. Laziness is a bitch.

Your avid readers of the world of exotic women in hostels and casinos in exotic locations are about to dispatch a scorpion to cure your laziness.

Ya ya ya! I get it lol, I’m two weeks behind. Well here is 6 days of that.
Chiang Mai was awesome!
We flew from Bangkok to Chiang Mai. The flight was 1 hour instead of 10 on a bus. We arrived in Chiang Mai and took a taxi to our hostel. The hostel was very nice and had pod beds which are great because it makes your bed much more private. I make a point of booking pod beds when I can.
At check in the lady told us some places that we should check out and one of them was a restaurant. The restaurant is known for their chicken. We walked the 15 minutes to the restaurant (in the crazy heat) and had a great meal. I have no idea what they did to this chicken but it was so good that I ordered seconds.
We went back to the hostel and took it easy for the rest of the day until dinner. We went to buy bus tickets to Chiang Rai for our day trip the next day and we ended up having a fried rice dish that had way too much basil for my liking. A woman next to us had a cute dog on a leash and I played with him and fed him our leftovers while we talked to his owner. I love dogs!
We woke up very early as we had to board the bus to Chiang Rai at 7:15 am. The bus was about 3 hours and dropped us off right at the White Temple. We met 2 Canadian girls from Edmonton on the bus and ended up spending the day with them. The White Temple is absolutely amazing! It’s really hard to describe, you just have to see it with your own eyes. The design of it is so amazing.
The four of us then took a taxi to the Blue Temple which is still in the process of being finished. It is also stunningly beautiful. The colours really pop. I’m not into the religious aspect of the temples but when they are this beautiful I do enjoy walking around and looking at them.
We had a quick lunch just outside the temple which was acceptable mostly because we couldn’t find any other restaurants. The last Temple we went to was the Black Temple or the Black House.
This one was much less enjoyable (partly because I was hot and tired) and it was also very odd. They had a bunch of animal skins and genitals. There was a table in the main building with a whole bunch of penises on it. One of the wooden penises was having it’s way with another wooden penis. The bathroom signs had giant wooden genitals on them, each in a varying diseased looking state. Just so weird.
We had a few hours to kill before our bus back so we went to a cafe and had a snack. We called it a early night as we were beyond tired.
The next day we slept in and boy did I need it. It’s nice to catch up on sleep when traveling. We went in search of food around noon and found a place that had Mexican and southern US food. I had gumbo which was solid and Meg had a combo with a tostada, a taco and a enchilada.
Her Mexican food was excellent. She went to a temple (I skipped it as I just don’t like temples as much as she does) and I went to Anna and Megan’s (the Canadian girls) hotel to go swimming. First however I had to go to the mall and buy a bathing suit because mine that I brought was way too big. It was a bit big when I left Winnipeg but it no longer had any shot of fitting after six weeks in Asia. It is quite hard to get a bathing suit in Thailand. First off they don’t call it anything that I could think off, I just ended up saying swimming and shorts while grabbing my shorts. The first place that I was told to go only had extremely short and tight bathing suits which is not my style. I luckily found a place that had normal western suits and I was able to find one for only $7 Cad. I took a Grab to their hotel and swam for a few hours.
I headed back to my hostel and we all planned on meeting up later that night for Chinese New Year in China town. I stopped back at the Mexican place and had dinner. I got what Meg had earlier and it was so good. I’m amazed that you can get any Mexican food in Asia don’t mind really good Mexican food. I specially liked the Spanish rice and beans.
We headed to Chinatown and after looking around for a bit we found Megan and Anna. We watched the festivities for about 90 minutes. The festivities included dancing dragons, a dragon being wrapped around a pole by people hanging on the pole and a dancing dragon with two people inside on top of poles.
The whole thing was very neat and a lot different than Chinese New Year in Singapore last year. We walked around the market a bit after and had some snacks. I had a chocolate/almond waffle with strawberries and chocolate on it and I shared a little dim sum with Maegan (my sister not the one we met). We called it a night and headed back to the hostel.
I was very pleased with my waffle!
RoomThe next day was exciting as we woke up early to go to the elephant sanctuary. This sanctuary is nice because it is one of the few in Thailand that treat the elephants properly. They don’t use chains on the elephants and nobody is allowed to ride them as it hurts the elephants. The tour cost $80 Cad and it was worth every penny. The money all goes to taking care of the elephants. We got a ride to the sanctuary about 45 minutes away. When we arrived they gave each of us a bucket of bananas to feed to the elephants. You put the banana on its trunk and it puts it in its mouth. We also could hold the banana up by it’s mouth and the elephant would let us feed her directly into her mouth. It was very cool. They gave us some clothes to put over our bathing suits as to not get our clothes dirty. We changed, watched a safety video and then went and loaded up as many bananas as our bags and pockets could carry. Then we went into the elephants area and fed the 5 elephants. There were 4 grown up females and one baby (2 years old) male. Elephants have to eat 10% of their body weight everyday. We then were taken to the sanctuaries banana plantation where we cut down and chopped up banana trees with a machete to feed to the elephants. The elephants love eating the inside of the trees. I got to cut down one of the trees which was neat, the machete is so sharp.
They set up lunch for us which was a make your own Thai soup station. The soup was great and extremely tasty. After lunch we fed the banana trees to the elephants and then took them for a walk to the mud pit. We gave them all a mud bath, then gave ourselves one. We walked over to an area for all the elephants and people to dry before we would take a bath in the lake. The elephants LOVED both the mud bath and the actual bath in the lake. They got in the water, laid down and let us clean them. It was so amazing. We then cleaned ourselves off and got to go swimming in the human pool. After. Swimming we got to see the pictures the photographer took and we bought them for $16 each as there were hundreds of amazing photos. We got a flash drive so I can’t show you them right now. I bought some souvenirs as it supports the sanctuary and we headed back to the hostel.
We had met a really nice French girl at the sanctuary who was staying at our hostel. We spent a lot of the day together at the sanctuary and then Domi joined us for dinner at the Mexican restaurant. We mostly went there because it was so close and we were all exhausted. We all had great food and called it a night.
We slept in after our early elephant day. I had made my way back to the chicken restaurant as I wanted it again before leaving. Meg and I went to this place called the Hell Temple that Anna had told us about. No locals knew what it was and for good reason, it is truly messed up. It’s basically what Thai hell is like and it was extremely graphic. We spent about 30 mins there and kept on saying wtf. I’ve never seen so much mangled genitalia in my life nor do I ever want to again.
The pictures below are NSFW, you have been warned!
Later that night, Meg, Domi and I went to the night market and bought a bunch of stuff that none of us needed. It was a very enjoyable and relaxing night.
Like I said at the top, Chiang Mai was amazing! It was a great five days, I absolutely loved it. We flew back to Bangkok and got a hotel for the night. Meg was flying to Siem Reap in Cambodia, while I was taking a bus because I was staying a night in the casino town of Poipet. Before heading to Siem Reap the next day.

What a great report! There's a lot of variety in those pictures and it looks like one hell of a great time =). Good to see you heal up nicely and continue with this great adventure. I'd be concerned that especially as a foreigner any meat I got served wouldn't be what I thought it was, but then again every time I've ever gone to a china buffet I also go in with that attitude: It's called the 'gamble meat' for a reason.. you know you're gambling. =p

Did you consider any of the formal Chang Mai Food walks or Food/Photography walks of the various night markets? Most are about three to four hours long but a few are almost twice that (and tuk tuk assisted). I'm told that young Islamic males often socialize at the night market and will gladly explain the food and its preparation to you in return for discussions about your country.

They featured Chaing Mai on the Amazing Race this season and had the contestants doing a health check on the elephants (at the same sanctuary) and they got to ride them after they successfully completed the challenge. They also had to eat scorpions while live ones crawled on their partner's clothing, among other things. The pit stop was Wat Chedi Luang.

What exactly was the conversation with Anna that led you to go to the hell temple? 'Dude, really, you've gotta check it out! There's dead babies and mutilated penises everywhere! I just loved it, and I would be ever so affectionate towards anyone who ventures to explore it.'?

It probably had nothing to do with what Anna said.

Ok I am answer all of the comments on this post:
Romes I am glad the pictures came out well because they are just taken with my Iphone, I don't like travelling with an actual camera. I have healed up quite nicely, I do have a couple spots that look like they are going scar but I don't worry about things like that. Lol I don't think it is really 'gamble meat', but if it is dog or cat I wouldn't be too worried about it. What's that old saying, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger lol?

Fleastiff I didn't. I prefer to go to the markets and explore rather than have a guide. I find guides provide way too much information for my liking which is why I don't get guides for most of the temples either.
Boymimbo my mom told me about that! She was so excited as she was watching it because she actually knew where it was because I was there. You aren't supposed to ride the elephants because it hurts them. It hurts their back to carry more than about 330 lbs.
Drich thank you so much for the compliment! My clothes are all getting quite large on me. Most of my shirts are just hanging off of me at this point. They were already big on me before the trip but I figure I have lost 10-15 pounds during this trip. I am very happy with that because I maxed out at 292 pounds about 3 years ago and I have been losing weight ever since then. I was 235 before this trip so I am interested to see how much I weigh when I get back.
Haha as far as what Anna said to get us to go it had nothing to do with attraction. I had no interest at all but she was very nice. Basically she thought that temple was in Chiang Rai and we found out it was in Chiang Mai so she said we should go with her. Neither my sister or I really knew what we were getting into. Anna loved it, her friend was with Meg and I in not knowing what the hell we had just seen lol.
