Chiang Mai

The next day we woke up to get on a plane to head north to Chiang Mai.  Thailand is actually a pretty big country and if we woulda taken a bus/train from Phuket to Chaing Mai it woulda taken nearly 24hrs.  As my mom says "Bleep that."  Our flight arrived in the afternoon and we made our way to the hostel we would be staying at.  Im not gonna lie, the beds at this place were awful.  I could literally feel the springs stabbing into me when i laid down on the bed. 

Anyway, we were feeling rather lazy and took naps that afternoon after chilling by the pool, ya they had a pool but crap beds.  When we finally woke up, Stu and I decided to head out to this night market that we had heard about.  As we were leaving we ran into some British girls, Abi and Nausheen, that were heading into the main part of the city as well.  We spit some game and decided to meet up with them later that night at some bar.  The night markets were pretty similar to every other market we went to, basically a buncha tourist stuff.  After the first market we headed to a 2nd market.  Or at least thought we were headed for the market, my bad Stu.  We ended up walking in a dark alley and heard strange noises coming from the other side of the fence.  Then suddenly these creepy F%$#@ing dogs came outta nowhere and im glad i was already sweating from the heat or i woulda wetted my self. 

After our daring escape from the vicious attack dogs, we took a tuk tuk and went to the other market, which just so happened to be across from the bar we were gonna meet the British girls, convenient.  As me and Stu were randomly walking around this big market we randomly ran into John, pretty crazy.

We soon headed off to the bar which was named Rooftop bar.  I think u can figure it out from the name.  It was really cool sitting up on a bar under the Thai stars, drinking a Chang with people from Canada, Ireland, and Britain.
My life is pretty sweet.
