Chiang Mai, part I

Night train to Chiang Mai 531 Baht
Lunch at Rodsabiang 120 Baht
Accommodation for 2 nights £15.70
Taxi to Chai Lai 134 Baht

Rafting at Chai Lai 200 Baht
2 dinners, 1 lunch at Chai Lai 500 Baht

With the online payment for the accommodation and the money I spent whilst I was there, my two day stay at Chai Lai Orchid cost £42.90, so about £21.45 a day - with the night train being the most expensive part. 

Chai Lai was a lovely place to stay, we had the Lanna room and although it meant 4 of us slept on the floor (the boys), I got a lovely double bed! Being in the middle of the jungle, located on an elephant sanctuary was a constant source of amusement and enjoyment - especially over breakfast!

The rafting was fun and we spent a lot of our time just exploring the river, dodging elephants and rafters alike! The only downside was that we had to consistently eat at Chai Lai, which while nice, was expensive and could get repetitive.

Now it's down from the mountains, back to the city to spend the rest of our time in Chiang Mai's Old Town.
