Chiang Mai day one


Arrived in Chiang Mai ...

My fourth trip here to Thailand's northern gateway - cooler than Bangkok and a favourite of expats living in Thailand.

I decided to try a tour I have not already taken. My friend was able to get me a discount of 37% for a tour of the Karen Hill Tribe which is one of 7 indigenous to Thailand. The Karen have an offshoot known as the long-necked Karen. Our tour guide who was Karen himself described the long-necked as refugees from Myanmar.
