The address doesn’t actually have a road to it and our Bolt driver asked us “Where you go?” We answered “Church.” He looked at the approximate destination and said “Mormon Church?” We replied “Yes” knowing […]

Old City Chiang Mai Walking Tour

Hotel breakfast included salad with a dressing that tasted like bacon. Not gonna lie, I don’t think salad is a breakfast food. We also had eggs, ham, sausage that tasted like bland hot dogs, and bread with butter and jam (which doesn’t dry out in 5 seconds like it does at home). Oh, and they […]
