Day 1 (4th Nov) - Early morning flight to Chang Mai, via SilkAir. Landed in Chang Mai at 10:30 and the Airport was pleasantly near the city area: Old Town. As it was too early to check-in, we left our luggage at hotel reception and headed out for lunch. The Old Town is a little larger than we expected, and it took us almost 20 minutes to walk to the central area, where we hungrily looked for authentic Thai food.
Somehow caught their annual lantern festival
Day 2 (5th Nov) - Rise at 9am to catch hotel breakfast, then go back to bed for rest. Close to noon we were pondering over where to go, and eventually decided on a half-day tour outside the town.

Day 3 (6th Nov) - Really early day to prepare for our 8:30am pick-up for day tour.
Their supposedly traditional village, there's absolutely nothing to see
Day 4 (7th Nov) - Last chill in Changmai before home-sweet-home. Generally Changmai is a pretty boring place with more expensive massage. Bangkok is much more happening in terms of activities/food and crowds.
