Christmas In Chiang Mai
Monday, December 26th, 2016November and December 2016
After a month in Bangkok and a 5 day visa run to Hanoi, I’ve been in Chiang Mai with Doug since November 21. We are staying at the Smith Residence and I have a great view of the sunrises over the city from my 6th floor balcony.
“I take care mama,” says Doug in a Thai speak accent. I open the door each morning to see a smiling face as he holds out something for me to eat…pastry, fruit or a Thai dish he has made himself in his balcony kitchen which is basically a sink. But he bought an electric wok and a little charcoal grill to grill meat and fish. We both have a water kettle for morning coffee. It’s remarkable what he is able to cook up.
My Christmas present to Doug was a fancy buffet dinner at the Le Meridien Hotel.
Meanwhile, Bob has been with Greg in Las Vegas while he recuperates after his hip replacement there last month.
