This week, we arrived in Chiang Mai. It’s completely different from Bangkok and was more of a culture shock to me, but I liked it. I finally felt like I was really abroad and in a foreign place. Here, we visited an elephant sanctuary and it was such a cool experience. I got to play with and feed the elephants, which were really cute. The city is also filled with cute markets and shops and was much more peaceful than Bangkok. Overall, it was nice for things to slow down and not be in a busy city anymore.
