Day 3 consisted of visiting old Chiang Mai during day time, walking around, and getting a $6.00 thai massage. We later came back and enjoyed the resorts' pool, which is breathtaking!
I didn't realize there are so many expats living in Chiang Mai. When we left the touristy areas, I was able to see what life is really like. It's still an Asian country, one with no sidewalks, but there are many little cute coffee shops that offers wifi. This made a great environment to work, as proven by Graph Cafe. People sip coffee and work on their macbooks there. It did not feel like I was in Chiang Mai, but SF!
Louise shared that people retire in Chiang Mai because the cost of living is lower than the US. This would explain why I saw so many cute old couples walking around. Chiang Mai is an interesting city, and I'm glad Louise and Jeremy were there to show me around, or else I wouldn't know this other side existed.
There is really nothing much else to say, so I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

| A temple we didn't visit. I took this picture from across the street. |

We later spent the whole afternoon at 137 Pillars House. The pool was super nice. Louise got some work done and I got a Singapore Sling.
