We arrived at our hotel in Chiang Mai around midnight on Monday, January 16. \u00a0The routing for this trip was an exhausting challenge for us. \u00a0We had a few delayed flights and near-miss connections so we feel grateful to be in Chiang Mai on Tuesday as planned. \u00a0We opted for breakfast at the hotel which is a pretty good value for coffee, fresh fruit, juice and cereal or fried rice topped with an egg – all for $5.00 each. \u00a0The breakfast is in a pleasant, sheltered outdoor space but most\u00a0mornings we\u2019ll have breakfast in our room.<\/p>\n

The weather was cool this morning but the afternoon temps are quite warm.<\/p>\n

Breakfast at the Sakorn<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We\u2019re staying at the Sakorn Residence Hotel<\/strong> in a one bedroom no-frills but very comfortable apartment. \u00a0This is a view of the complex – it\u2019s our 5th time staying here. \u00a0The Sakorn is a family-owned place and the staff has stayed the same over the years. \u00a0We especially like the location across the Ping River from the Old Town. \u00a0We are paying 28,000 Thai Baht for our one-month stay. \u00a0That\u2019s $847. 00 or about $28 U.S. Dollars per night. \u00a0We\u2019ll pay an additional $45.00 per month for cleaning (2 times a week) and a minimal fee for water and electricity.

The Pool –\u00a0A view of the pool from our 4th floor balcony.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This morning, we walked from the hotel to buy provisions for our one-month stay. \u00a0On our way to the Rimping Supermarket we met two couples from Saskatchewan, Canada who are staying at our same hotel for one month and who were also on their way to the Rimping for provisions. \u00a0<\/span>We look forward to comparing notes with them on restaurants, activities and all.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Rimping Supermarket is very modern and it has many familiar brands plus local specialties-it\u2019s fun to shop there.

If you buy at least $35.00 worth of groceries at the Rimping, \u00a0they will deliver your groceries directly to your hotel room! \u00a0A real plus! \u00a0It\u2019s not safe to drink the local water here so having a bulk quantity of water plus other heavier-to-carry items delivered is great.<\/span><\/p>\n

Eggs in Pretty Packages!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We are reacquainting ourselves with the neighborhood and still have some shopping to do at the local fruit stand. \u00a0We\u2019re resting up. \u00a0It\u2019s been a long journey and we\u2019re happy we can settle in for awhile.<\/p>\n
