On 7th of March, I finally left Chiang Mai for my journey to Chiang Rai. Here are some impressions of my first day of riding:
I actually startet at 4am, as it is not too hot then.
- 1:20: I drank a coffee in this beautiful place, but didn’t stay there.
- 1:50: Most of the time I had to push my bike because of the steep road.
- 2:40: This place I stayed was more “thai-standard”: with the standard-frightening water heaters with electricity in the shower, and the toilet that has to be flushed by pouring water into it. And coffee with 56% sugar, 23% creamer and 11% coffee.
- 3:20: This actually is the most amazing part. I just bought some water at 7-eleven, when Dermot approached me. He knew a canadian, who is just becoming a buddhist monk. So I got to meet him and got an interview with him yesterday. He has an an amazing story of his life. Just started some basic editing. Will continue the interview tomorrow. I keep you posted!
