BY JAIME YARBROUGH

From somewhere between Chiang Rai and Mae Sai, Thailand. The first few
days were spent going places doing things.

Have managed to talk to a couple people who appeared to be Anglo’s and
only today did I find that a good place to find ‘expats’ is through a
local magazine in Chiang Mai called “City Life”  I should have made
more of an effort to make a contact before I left – hind sight 20/20 –
there’s a first time for everything.

When we go to Chiang Mai we will travel 3 hours by bus which has Wifi.
Navigating and phone connections with my phone are a real challenge.
Wifi is spotty at best in most rural areas. Got t-shirts, pictures,
stories and excellent health. The weather is often rather warm in the
afternoons and the evenings a bit cold  but well within the comfort
zone.
