Toward the end of our backpacking trip in Southeast Asia last year, Steve and I spent a week in Chiang Mai. Though there's plenty going on--jungle treks, rafting, mountain biking, and any number of other adventure excursions--we didn't really do anything. We wanted to save our money for our final stop, Hong Kong, and figured attractive, affordable Chiang Mai was a good place to enjoy the simple (and cheap) life. As anyone who has been to Thailand knows, you don't need to be on a constant adrenaline rush for the days to fly by.
We enjoyed browsing the various markets and sampling food, wandering among the multitude of temples, playing badminton in the park, and cruising around on bicycles. And, um, eating breakfast, according my picture of an adorable latte. I'm still pretty impressed by how much nothing we did without the aide of the Internet--wifi at our guesthouse was only turned on at night.
