Too much

My days in Chiang Mai are coming to an end. I have two weeks of classes left, crazy. So I went to Chiang Rai two weekends ago. Here is a brief description: Ping and I took the local bus 4 hours to Chiang Rai, where we found a nice backpacker inn. That night we wandered around to the markets and got some dinner. The next morning we hired a Tuk Tuk (taxi-ish) driver to take us to the boarder. Along the way we saw; a temple on a hill overlooking Chiang Rai, mountains that you could see a Lady of the Lagoon formation, monkeys and a cave, and then Mae Sai- the crazy boarder town. That night we got back, ate dinner, and passed out. The next morning we headed to the Golden Triangle- where Laos, Thailand, and Myanmar boarder. First we went to the Opium Museum. This explained the history of opium and why you should never ever do drugs. We then hired a boat that took us over to Laos for about 10 minutes to see a market solely for tourists to say "I went to Laos." I bought playing cards for $1- in Thailand they are like $6. The boat ride was nice, it was during sunset hours. That night we stayed in a very sketchy hotel, with a creepy owner. The town was empty. I was the only white person, therefor I turned a lot of heads. I decided to just hangout inside our room. The next morning we wandered a bit more around the Golden Triangle and then we went to Chiang Saen to get a bus home. But we took an hour to have a massage by the river. From there we took a bus to Chiang Rai, ate dinner, and took a local, very shitty bus home, on the way our tire popped- so we were delayed for about 45 minutes. Finally Sunday night I got back home to Chiang Mai.
