Our last few days in Chiang Mai was packed full of fun, and not so fun dentist trips, before we took off for an amazing 6 day scooter trip through the mountains of Northern Thailand. I only have day one of the trip so far to whet your appetite till I can get the rest of the scooter trip updated.
I took another cooking class at Bamboo Bee, a vegetarian cooking restaurant, where I learned how to make mock meat out of shitake mushrooms.
Here I am making mushroom burgers - about to bake them. Yum!
Time for my 6 month dental cleaning - less than 20 bucks for ultra sound cleaning. (I did have the office checked out by my friend Bill, from the boat WaterMusick, first. He’s a dentist.)
My new dentist says yeah for clean teeth!
Day one of the scooter trip - just about to enter Doi Inthanon National Park.
Our first stop inside the National Park was amazing. Good thing too as I came out to a flat tire.
They don’t call it the Thailand flat for nothing. I am just happy I was able to flag down a driver to throw me and my scooter into the back of his truck!
Less than 20 mins and 5 bucks later, I had a new tube and was ready to meet up with the gang again.
We made it to the highest mountain in Thailand… but barely. My scooter wouldn’t do more than 40 km per hour up hill.
We also found a spectacular temple nestled in the peaks.

And I thought we started advertising holidays early in America!!!
