They have a decent food court at the train station in Bangkok

The train before us derailed. Tracks move during the rainy season. We were transferred to buses.
Made it to Chiang Mai as scheduled anyway.
Chiang Mai, the place to be? It is a beautiful city but it depends on what you are looking for. They are luring in young crowds with all kinds of expensive package adventure trek tours (bungy jump, zip lines, quads, rafting, climbing, mountain biking etc.) and bars/restaurants. We feel that this place is way tourist-oriented for us although this is the low season. We will be looking for a more authentic Thai experience.

Almost everything at the night bazaar is made in China and it's expensive.
The North gate of the old ramparts. Old Chiang Mai inside the ramparts used to be the royal "playgrounds". Nowadays it is the touristy hub.
A local market.
Behind these doors is the stangest terra-cotta depot.
Cute and quiet alleys
Wat Jetlin. We found this wat very surprising.
The kids played the gongs for half an hour.
