SPRING BREAK IN CHIANG MAI, THAILAND - DAY 1

We headed out with some friends to Chiang Mai, Thailand for the kids' spring break. Chiang Mai is located in Northern Thailand and has a rainforest and mountains. I wasn't sure I would survive without a beach but we had exciting adventures each and every day. Thailand ranks right up there on our "fun places to visit" list!


There are plenty of McDonald's in Thailand. Instead of fried cherry and apple pies they offer corn pies and pineapple pies.



This is where we stayed, the Yaang Come Village. It was in a great location, not far from the activity of the Night Market but very peaceful and tranquil. We had prearranged to have a driver and tour guide all week, which turned out to be very helpful.



This funny looking vehicle is called a Tuk Tuk, and is a popular mode of transportation around Chiang Mai. We got a kick out of looking like tourists and riding it around.
