Day 29 - Relax @ Chiang Mai (Doi Inthanon)

Woke up at 12pm after a very late night yesterday with Daniel who had flown in from Singapore last night. Had lunch with him before we set off on our bikes for Doi Inthanon (Thailand's highest peak)

After a tedious and bumpy 3 hour ride, we reached the summit at about 5pm. Along the way, the scenery was stunning but it was freezing cold as we rode our little bikes up the mountain. Daniel was so cold that he lost control of his Honda wave and crashed. Lucky he only suffered some abrasions on his arm and was able to continue riding.

After our photo taking session at the 'highest peak' landmark, we went to the cafe to get some hot drinks. To our horror, the temperature was only 5 degrees celsius and he came up with his t-shirt only. Haha! On the way down the mountain, he stopped to buy a ski cap and gloves.

It was pitch dark as we made our decent from the mountain but luckily I
had my hid spotlights.

I'm getting lazier as the days pass. Too lazy to take photos of the city as I've been to Chiangmai few times previously. If not for the Loy Kratong celebrations tomorrow, I'll move on already.
