Weed clean up day in Chiang Mai.
From the international Bangkok airport or the Don Mueng airport to Khao San road, it is a one hour taxi ride or so. The fare is 150 to 250 bahts (meter) depending on traffic, to which you add the express way /highway toll of 50 to 70 bahts. Do not let them sell you a fixed rate taxi ride of 500-1000 bahts inside the airport. As a general rule, when you take a taxi, ask them if they do meter before getting in the taxi. Some taxis refuse to use the meter and they will charge you a lot more.
Back in our preferred Soi Samsen 4 neighbourhood. Guesthouses around here are too expensive though.
This little restaurant at a corner of Samsen 4 is very good. The owners are super nice too. It is always a pleasure to have a meal there. They open early for breakfast.
We decided to stay at KS Guesthouse, close by, just across the bridge. For 450 bahts, we are in this nice air conditioned quadruple room with a large balcony overlooking the canal. We would recommend this room to travelers. KS guesthouse is 5 minutes by foot from Khao San road.
Awesome views from the balcony.
They build and use these carts a lot in Bangkok. They are cool units.

MBK is a huge mall by the skytrain. There you can find all sorts of cheaper items like regular clothing, Thai arts etc. It is more crowded and not as well vented.
The Paragon mall is across from MBK. The store are
all high end, with Chanel, Hermes, Vuitton etc.
Siam Ocean World is inside the Paragon mall.
Local schools visiting the aquarium were organized and quiet.
