Chiang Mai

Here is a quick photo summary from our last two weeks in South East Asia. This was spent in northern Thailand around Chiang Mai. We spent half the time in the city; eating tasty street food, shopping at the night market, looking at the odd temple and going to a terrible yoga class (“Focus on your third eyyyee!”), amongst other things. Then we also had about 5 or 6 days staying near the climbing at Crazy Horse buttress about an hour from Chiang Mai. Here, there is a totally brilliant homestay called Jira Homestay (tel: 085 029 5304). This crag has some really good climbing and some really ace caves, many of which also have routes inside. After our stint of climbing we had a few final days in Chaing Mai that included riding elephants and a day of Thai cooking. After an epic journey involving a tuk-tuk, three planes, two taxis and a train we were home after an amazing three months in South East Asia!
