Chang Rai

Over my Chistmas break I spent four days in the town of Chang Rai in northern Thailand. This is where I stayed. I have been tutoring two kids from a Thai family in Bangkok for the past year. This is their "getaway place" up in Chang Rai. It was amazing.

Thai-Burmese Boarder



The land of knock off bags and pirated DVDs and software. I'm sure I'm on some US Government list now.

Huai Krating Reservoir, Thailand





I went to a beautiful reservoir out in the country. They have floating huts to use. They give you lunch on the raft, and pull you out to the middle of the lake. Then they leave you out there for a few hours. I took a two hour nap.

Plaba Waterfall, Thailand






Get yourself a maid!

I've found the secret to a stress free life. Here's a hint: She's five feet tall and cooks, cleans, washes, irons, and buys groceries twice a week. But she's not cheap. It's $120 per month.



She even folds the socks!!

This game took over an hour. We had the entire staff at the restaurant watching.
