All who wander are not lost…

I love that quote and had to use it somewhere!

After the hike I had a brief rest – I also needed to charge my phone.

I had an awful headache all morning and it was not getting any better. A local market had 4 pack of 500 MG Tylenol for 3.5 baht which is equivalent to 11 cents. I also found a street vendor selling Ice cream pops. That should help the headache! This one was sweet taro (it is a starchy root). It was delicious.

I had read online about this cat Cafe called catmosphere.

You remove your shoes, which you do just about everywhere here in Thailand. They ask you to wash your hands and use antibacterial cleanser.

They had all kinds of great drinks, deserts, and food items. Yes, this is the foam on the green tea latte. Someone is talented.

And of course there are lots of cats, toys, and pillows to sit on the floor.

This is on the wall and there are steps at the end for the cats to get up there.

I actually walked around 4 miles to get there. I didn’t think it was that far. I did walk back too as there were other things I wanted to see.

And yes there is was a dog Cafe. A quick search on maps showed it was permanently closed. More can go wrong with a pack of dogs.

I had noticed a Chinese new year celebration in front of a mall with street food. I stopped to have Pad Thai. (I know, twice in one day… You can’t have enough Pad Thai).

At the Chinese new year celebration.

On the way to the cat Cafe and back I passed through those remnants of walls that used to be around the old city. At Tha Pha gate on the right side of the square (inside of the square is the Old City), I noticed large wood doors.

That side is also the most intact wall.

This city is decorating for the flower festival which starts at the beginning of February. Unfortunately I will be in Laos then. Here are many of the decorations found on the perimeter of the Old City.

And this would not be complete without more temple pictures. They seem the same but are not.

Tomorrow I will leave to go on a private tour to Chiang Rai and then to stay overnight in Chiang Koung on the Laos border.
