Chiang Mai, Thailand
Well, it’s been a week since our last post and a week since Billy and Tri arrived… coincidence, I think not. We’ve spent the past week lounging on the beaches in Ko Samui and experiencing the wonderful sights of Chiang Mai. We are all doing well and are about to depart our hotel for a noon tee time at the Royal Chiang Mai Golf Club. This will be the first time we’ve golfed on this trip and I’m very excited about doing something different. In the few minutes I have, below are some highlights thus far with Tri and Billy:
- We rode elephants around the hills surrounding Chiang Mai. It was the most uncomfortable experience I’ve had in a long time. My groin area is still sore.
- We went white water rafting down a river near Chiang Mai. Since it’s the dry season the going was very difficult. Shelly said it was more like “rock climbing on water” than charging the rapids.
- Billy and Tri each bought two custom made suites from a tailor in Chiang Mai. Will NYC know how to handle Billy Knotts in pinstrips? I guess we’ll find out…
Billy getting “sized up” and Tri getting “sized down”
- We celebrated St. Patrick’s Day in Thailand the only way we could… by drinking green beer!
- We toured a local butterfly and orchid farm outside Chiang Mai
- And finally, I captured Shelly in front of another roasted street pig.

I’m more and more excited about your trip the more I read about it. For what it’s worth, my sidekick sister Kelcey Halverson is working in Beijing for another week I think. It might coincide with when you are there. Shoot her an email.
Hey Fellow China Travelers! Like Timmy mentioned, I’m in the People’s Republic as well! (Apparently I didn’t pay attention to your itinerary recently.) Not sure where you’re visting here, but I’m in Shanghai thru the 4th of April and in Beijing the weekend of March 29th. Holla at me if you guys might be around the neighborhood. The hotpot with frog legs is pretty tasty! 🙂
Kelcey-
A weekend in Beijing together is definitely in order~we’ll be there when you are there. So, frog leg hot pot it is!
what kind of goodies are you finding?? anything good?
Cano – you are the tannest I have ever seen you!
