Chiang May - night 2: the Flood

So here we are, in the night, on a wrong bus station, 3 day bags, one bag of clean clothes, frustrated, tired, hungry. And then the rain, that stopped for several hours, showers with unbelievable strength. For a quoter of hour we waited for it to loose powe,but it didnt intend to. We managet to catch a tuk tuk in that rain to take us to ben. I was riding jeeps in my life, but a tuktuk in a flowded Chiang Mai is much more fun. The rain showers so you cannot see a thing, the water is getting to your knees. In some point, the driver said it's too late, and that he wouldnt be able to pass to the other side of the river (= to Ben).

We got off, tried to catch a taxi, but no use - noone was going to pass to the other side! We asked the local policemen, so they laughed a bit and told us that the only way will be by a boat. Actually, they where a bunch of very nice volunteers, that invited us for beer and chiken (some really cool photos).

We got to another guesthouse (much luck we hadour clothes!) , called Ben to tell we won't be there (by the way - we forgot to return them their key!), and gone to have a wonderfull dinner in a german restaurant. We closed the night with a hour of thai massage (what a pleasure!) and gone to sleep.
