We’re not really big football fans but we have family living near Kansas City and at least one nephew who is an Eagles fan so we’ll be curious about the outcome. If we were fans, we’d have to wake up at 6:30 a.m. to watch!
Since the high temperature was 92 degrees this afternoon, we headed to the Mall! There is a great food court there and we found lots of lunch options. In addition to Thai food, there are stalls with Japanese and Chinese food. It’s clean, there are plenty of spots to sit, and the food is inexpensive. A great place to try new things.
Yesterday we went to the spa for a massage. It’s a treat to have a Thai massage and the Fah Lanna Spa was a good choice for the experience. As one might imagine, there are massage places on every corner…some better than others. We booked in advance and the cost was 700 Thai baht or about $23.00 U.S. dollars. When we arrived we were served iced hibiscus tea. Once in the massage room, a large open space with mats on the floor, we changed into a loose pajama-style outfit. The therapists arrived and spent one hour massaging – sometimes not so gently. We felt refreshed and renewed after the experience!
The space inside is beautiful and the service excellent. After the treatment we were greeted with a cup of ginger tea and a rice cake.
Typically, we only see the tourist boat on the Ping River but today, there was a colorful kayaker.
When the sun sets, the sky turns a rosy color. This is tonight’s view from the footbridge.
We stop by the temple nearly every day to check on the lotus flowers. They have been glorious to watch!
The orchids are pretty nice as well!
Soon, it will be time to pack up and head home! We’ll be ready, but it’s been a fun and relaxed time here in Chiang Mai!
