So this is Thailand. We started in Chiang Rai and immediately had an unforgettable experience. Still with Paul and Jacinta we all hired bikes to go explore, and what an explore!!! We went to see a cool new temple that had been painted White but with weird features like; a model bust of the Predator, a sea of hands, one flipping the bird, paintings on the inside of the Twin Towers disaster, pepsi trucks, evil oil pumps and Darth Vader.
