There’s no course for me on Sundays, so I waited for my clean laundry to arrive and then  went to Chiang Mai’s popular Sunday Market in the old town.

The trick to getting the most out of any kind of open-air, tourist-focused market is to be an early bird and get there just as the shop owners are opening up their stalls. That’s what I did yesterday and as soon as the hordes started pouring in, I booked a Grab (Über here in SE Asia) and went back to my quiet little teak house.
