Chiang Mai Recap

Top Destinations:
- Elephant Conservatory: Simply unforgettable--we'll never forget hand-feeding these amazing animals on the happiest day of the year (for them). What a feast!
- Wat PratartLampangLuang: 2,000 year old temple that was the home of the emerald buddha (currently in the Royal Palace, Bangkok) for a 32-year period.
- Orphanage: Amazing to see what our uncle's friend is doing with these orphans; they are getting opportunities others in Thailand could only dream of (e.g., education, room/board at an amazing facility, amazing meals, etc.).

Top Likes:
- Smaller: more intimate feel vs. the hectic, "big-city" Bangkok
- Food: less spicy, but somehow "more tasty" than Bangkok cuisine

Top Dislikes:
- Air: The smog and haze was significantly worse than what we experienced in Bangkok.
