Onwards to Chiang Rai and Towards the Laos Border

So this is what it feels like to travel a destination that I had been before trice. No planning required, no stress on road conditions and no rush to go sightseeing. 

I got out of Mae Hong Son loop and headed to Chaing Rai slowly but since I had seen almost everything around this region, there was no point to explore the more difficult remote region during the bad burning season.

Burning Season where the forest is so dry an hot that it got lighted up and the Fire Truck had to put out fires all over the region.

Find a good accommodation, hide and binge watch TV series, work on the blog preparing more post since I knew once I hit China there was little time to do anything else. 

I stock up a lot of post during this free time while waiting for the right date to cross into Laos. Thats way I could release a post twice a week consistently for a few months.

In Chaing Rai there was a few places I always somehow return and even pay the ticket fee to go see the attraction. The white temple was one of them and still captivate me even the thirds time. 

Wat Rong Khun - Chaing Rai 

Singha Park - Chiang Rai

I was also hopping a bit more to cafes to find chill places to do more writing and without a doubt the few last bit maintenance on Bragge was done including the expensive but most worth it bike wash.

Life was good, and the big adventure planned so many many months ago is now on a timer counting down. How do I explain the calm and serenity before the storm. I knew it was going to be a great journey but in the meantime this momentary tranquility while waiting is not so bad as well.
