I went with a group of friends to the Chiang Mai Zoo yesterday. I couldn't believe how beautiful it was! There was almost no one in the park, and the animals' habitats were amazing. While we were walking throughout, we stumbled upon an elephant and its keeper just wandering around the park! We all took turns feeding him. So cool!
Last night, we went to a Muay Thai boxing match. This was something I was a little unsure about, but it turned out to be a lot of fun. It seemed to be a tourist hot spot, since there were a lot of white people ("farangs") there. The best part was when four guys were in the ring, and they were all blindfolded! They aimlessly kicked and punched in the air until they found another boxer. Hilarious!
It's still really hot and humid here. It's been a little difficult getting used to the food, since there isn't much variety. I've been sticking to vegetarian options, since I don't know if I trust the meat yet. My friends and I have already been craving Mexican food, desserts, pizza, etc. This isn't a good sign so early into the trip.
