Then we came to the hotel about 6:30 and I showered and got ready for supper at 7:15. It was farang food -- steak, chicken and fish. I got the fish.
Oh yeah -- at the Chiang Rai hotel lunch we met a guy who a couple in our tour group knows who is here teaching some agriculture thing at the local university. He's been here 2 months of a 4 month stint. His Thai is fairly good though heavily accented and I think he was married to a Thai woman (not any more) and had been in Thailand during the Vietnam war. It was interesting meeting him.
