Josh & Lenette

Five hours to New Year’s we arrive in in Chiang Mai.  Four hours to midnight, we arrive at the Parasol Inn to find out our reservation was messed up and no room is available.  Three hours to midnight, told by desk clerk there were no rooms available in town due to New Years Eve so we start calling around ourselves.  Two hours til midnight, with Josh mad and Lenette ready to cry, we take a room with twin beds as a last resort.  Tuk tuk delivers us to the Royal Princess Hotel.  One hour til midnight Josh and Lenette sound asleep before the fireworks started.

Next morning, we start off the New Year positively by indulging ourselves and planning a relaxing day.  We book four hours of spa treatment.  Your money goes a long way at a spa in Thailand and we were given royal treatment at the Oasis Spa.

We also found a great little restaurant, conveniently located  across the street from our hotel.  We would tell you the name if we could read the sign.  Josh has been living off various versions of Panang curry and Lenette has been rotating through variations of friend rice and noodle dishes. We both really like the soups and our looking forward to our all day cooking lesson tomorrow to learn some authentic recipes.
