Thailand has a special place in our hearts.  The people are incredibly kind, the sights are stunning, and the prices were lower than any we’d ever seen.

Construction outside our hotel, the Libra Guest House. OCEA would not have been amused. It was a great hotel though, with amazing staff, super-clean, and great food. In the morning, we got going early again to Chiang Mai.…
