Chang Mai, Thailand

Early in the year, Cassie and I went for a weekend in Chang Mai. Located inland, northern Thailand. It is famous for being a starting point for backpackers interested in going to the mountains of northern Thailand. So, we met up with Tracy, who was studying Thai massage. Basically, I loved it! The food is amazing! So fresh and you can't say you've had Thai food, until you go to Thailand! That combined with it being extremely affordable, we spent most of the time eating and getting massages (for $4 an hour!)

We went to the country side for a day, some hiking, and beautiful monasteries... The only shock was to see the Monks SMOKING cigarettes! (sorry, no pics here :)
