lovely to see some blogging rachel! i LOVE chiang mai too, and am happy to see you have made it work.. When i go to thailand its ALL about the masssage.. it is the best, and as you say SO cheap.. if i ever have an hour to spare its always at least a foot massage.. ooh boy.. you know,, i really want to spend more time there.. and this post is just inspiring me to do so..

I'm curious,, how you do manage with the visa story, as it seems that more than 6 weeks is not usually given to people.. <3 xxx
