This time we stayed in Diva 2 guesthouse as it was only 300฿ a night. Our room was really cute (however small). It was colourful and we had hot water (something which wasn't guaranteed at Nugent Waterside).
The week in Chiang Mai was very relaxed (with a minor mishap.) We visited markets, cafe's and discovered the wonderful park which was perfect for relaxing in. We saw a film called Regress in the cinema (starring the amazing Emma Watson).
Of course we visitied our fav spots of the rooftop bar and Zoe in Yellow which is always fun.
We also met up with P'Tong and Kao as they were in Chiang Mai for the weekend. We caught up with them at the Saturday market in a cafe and strolled through the market. P'Tong also paid for both Alex and I to recieve a massage (something which is extremely common in Thailand).
We also met them in the Sunday market where they treated us to some fruit and ice cream as well as a couple of really cute photo holders.
The minor mishap that I mentioned earlier was a fairly biggish mishap. Reception closes at 8pm at Diva. One night we arrived back at 8:02 (according to my phone). This usually wouldn't be a problem but this happened to be the day when we had given our key in to have a room cleaned. This means we had no key.
A couple sitting outside let us into the 'sub-reception' where we looked all over for our key but the door to main reception was looked meaning we had no key and nowhere to sleep.
Thankfully I had my passport on me and we both had some money. The walked into the guesthouse directly opposite Diva and explained our situation. They agreed to give us a room for 300฿ (without aircon) which was a special deal just for us. The room was a lot nicer than Diva. Diva was a hostel so there was always music playing and people talking loudly. The room at the guesthouse was a lot quieter, had better wifi had was a lot bigger.
So we decided to stay there until we left Chiang Mai.
Sure it was awks asking to check out of Diva early and then walk into the guesthouse directly opposite reception but so what?
On the 9th November we finally travelled to Uthai Thani!
