Because we arrived at 5.30am, the first day in Chiang Mai wasn't very productive. Upon arrival we left the bags in the hostel as it was too early to check in and went towards the town to get something to eat. We were very lucky to witness the monk who popped into the tiny restaurant where we had our breakfast, and who gave all of us his blessing/prayer:
Then we strolled around the city which seems to be full of Buddhist temples and monasteries and we booked few very exciting things for the next few days :)
In the evening we had traditional northern Thailand dish - khao soi, recommended by one of the Thai woman in the travel office. It was delicious, and I can say that it was one of the best dinners I had in Thailand so far (although all of them were amazing). Khao soi is something similar to Massaman curry, but more watery (more like a soup) and served with chicken and noodles.
We are now getting ready for tomorrow :)
