It's spicy though
Good morning from Chiang Mai we slept so well last night, and it feels amazing. I was like 75 75
It's a little hazy
Sun is shining. It's a beautiful day. It feels so much better here than it does in Bangkok
It's like less humid the humidity is so much. It feels amazing
I was like first thing I said when we got out was like oh my gosh. It feels so good out here
So what's the plan for today?
So the plan is that we're gonna pretty much just like walk around get our bearings and then later in the evening
We're gonna go see one of the biggest temples they have and it's really close to our hotel
So I don't know how I booked such a great location
But I did the ceilings here are
Morning market
Okay, so we just walked this little morning market, and it's like the temperature is amazing
Everybody's really really nice. Everybody's out. Everybody's out and about just like buying fruit. It's pretty much like a fruit in like clothing market
Yeah, yeah, so we bought some
Jackfruit it was 20 baht and I got like
So much
At first I thought it was durian, and I thought it was like I was so excited
So we've been trying we've been wanting to try it, but then she's like jackfruit. Okay. Well, that's fine
It's juicy
It's sweet, but not too sweet
It kind of tastes like pineapple and a banana together
I'm very serious about that
And it looks like there's something like in the middle
Like a sheet is it a seat hard job
It's confirmed it's a seed that's squishy
This is good though. Just like such a different vibe here. It's like very relaxing and like complete opposite of Bangkok
I mean, I know we're in the tourist quarter
We're like all the food tours are going on and people are like going to taste test things
And we saw so many tours like food tours. Oh, yeah, like they're cooking class
Yeah, you can find them online too, but it's just I have to do it while we're here
Yeah, but it's just like so like relaxing and I mean the weather is the best it's been since we've been in Thailand
So travelers problems looking for places to wash our clothes. What's the best price? What's the best machine?
They have a lounge area
So we read that at a lot of the temples around here that there's these really old buildings called Chedi's
I don't know what one looks like exactly
But we might have just passed one and also in certain temples they use a lot of teak wood
Apparently there was a lot of teak wood that Europeans came here to find and they exported out
So a lot of temples have teak wood used in them. We haven't seen any yet. We're going to yeah
So we're getting a little hungry and we're on the hunt for
Khao Soi, which is this northern Thailand dish that will tell you about in a minute
We've been waiting for this moment for Khao Soi for such a long time
We finally found one of the places that's like highly recommended
And Khao Soi is like 45
We did it
So I'm so excited because Khao Soi is like one of the three reasons we came to Shanghai
It's like a northern Thailand specialty
I get it every time I see it on the menu
Which is not very often
And it's just like everywhere here
I'm so excited because this is like one of the popular places
Khao Soi is pretty much like this
Coconut curry based soup
Egg noodles
Mustard greens, pickled mustard greens
Red onion and lime
So let's see how it compares
It's spicy though
I've been missing sweets ever since we left
And I just found the Mecca
See when I say digital nomad I'm talking about people like this guy
He's come from California
Maybe he's from California
Just skateboards around and works at home
Happy Galentine's Day
Best day of the year
Southern food and
Mexican food
