We started the day off by shopping for some supplies (sunscreen, bug spray, shirts). Once getting back to the hotel, we spent part of the afternoon at the pool. We then visited Wat Chedi Luang (temple). After aimlessly wandering around for a while we came across a small version of the Loi Krathong celebration which includes lanterns and candles floating on the river. The big celebration is on Nov.25 so we will talk more about it then. Chiang Mai has been great so far although everything is a bit expensive since there is a lot of tourists. It seems as if there is more Western food in this city than Thai food which also tends to be pricy.
