So, this is the end of the trip. As I write this, I'm about five hours away from catching a cab to the airport.
I'll be leaving from the Marlboro - after Tikky Cafe, my favorite hang. Some friends of mine are going to see me off from there. That will end my visit on a high note.
I write these posts the day after, but decided to start with a look-ahead.
After my massage, I headed out to a highly recommended vegetarian coffee house to edit pictures and write. It was so comfortable and the food, once again, was excellent. I had a mushroom, tomato and cheese omelet some made-there artisinal toast with sweet cream butter.
I hung out there into the afternoon, then met up at the Sunday Night Market with some friends. A selfie was posted.
What a good hang. We stepped back from the crowds at a convenient cafe, and it was the friendliest experience. We quickly had conversations with a British expat teacher, an Australian consultant auditing elephant sanctuaries, a group of Brits on extended holiday. English speakers tend to congregate, and the conversation is easy.
There isn't any way to visit the Sunday Market and not see fascinating stuff, and I did. I seemed to encounter more musicians this time than last, and I'm a sucker for that, and the street food here.
We hung, we laughed, we walked around, took pictures and bought a little food.
I finished the night at the Marlboro, and, except for the last massage I had today, this last visit to Tikky Cafe (where I am write now) and a final, last hurrah back at the Marlboro, that's the end of the trip.
I am not going to summarize the trip now. I will digest the experience.
I've left a lot undone, unseen. A lot not experienced. I will come back for that. Next time, for longer.
Everybody here wants to know when I'll be back. The best I can say is I'll let you know when I know. I'm grateful for what I have, what I've experienced, everything that has led me to be where I am, right now. I'm optimistic by nature - I believe I'll come back to Chiang Mai.
