The blog has made it to June!
My first day in Chiang Mai involved a market, some temples, and some museums. The standard SE Asia activities! My favorite part was the market, which was full of beautiful hand-crafted goods and colorful, unfamiliar foods. I only took pictures of the foods:
 |
| some kind of crispy pancake roll-up thing with a colorful filling! |
 |
| a chewy coconut pancake thing. I bought one of these! |
 |
| it came with a thai-tea-flavored dip |
 |
| Thai traditional snack waffle! can we make this a thing in the States please 🙏 |
 |
| a fried green snack! |
 |
| sticky rice with coconut milk, soybean, and pepper! |
 |
| mystery soup with toppings! |
 |
| sweet fermented rice! |
 |
| purple pancakes with brown sugar and black sesame seeds! |
 |
| chrysanthemum juice! coconut juice! asiatic juce! |
 |
| a plethora of mysterious colorful snacks! |
 |
| edible mini flower bouquets for USD$1! |
 |
| homemade breads with natural colors from Thai vegetables and fruits! |
 |
| #1 mushroom ball! original Thai snack! |
Next up, temples and lunch:

I thought this sign was funny. "MONK CHAT: Please, kindly chat with us... Don't just stand and look then walk away."

At this point (mid-afternoon), the heat was too much for me so I Grabbed back to my homestay for some rest. Later, I ventured out for dinner. And
on my third sampling of the dish, I found definitively the best pad thai in Chiang Mai.
