Chiang Mai - day 1


We arrived in Chiang mai yesterday, and both really like it here. The day we arrived we checked into our hotel and jumped straight into the pool. Then found out there is a free shuttle to the night markets at 8 each night. That sounded like a good place to get dinner but we both were a little hungry so set off to look for a 7eleven. It wasn't where I thought it would be but on our walk we found a little local shop selling drinks and snacks, 55BTH later( around $1.10NZD) we had 2 large bottles of water and a bag of chips :) 
On our way to the night market our driver Lucky showed us a video clip of a tiger park he could take us to the next day. It was horrific, the animals were being hugged all over by tourists, the only way it could have been safe to do that was if the animals were drugged. It made me feel so yuck. 
After wandering round the markets for a bit (in the rain) we got a tuktuk back to our hotel.
