My 3 days in Chiang Mai's Old Town cost me around about £74 with a heck of a lot of activities and eating out, working out as just under £25/day.

My accommodation at Green Tiger was a 8 bed dorm filled with my group of 6 - the staff were fantastic and the accommodation brand new so it was a lovely place to stay.

If you fancy some hands on food experiences, the cooking course at Siam Rice was great. But I'd skip the Khantoke dinner - the food was okay and the entertainment slightly bizarre, at times making me feel like it was a spectacle to stare at the hill tribes and their ways of life.

The massage was fantastic value for money and did not disappoint. It was a full hour of a proper massage and I was so looking forward to it that I'm glad it lived up to expectations. 

An epic journey to Koh Phangan awaits...
