    I live in Chiang Mai, which in itself is an excellent option for a getaway (not during smokey season). I just got back from Chiang Rai for a three-day trip. We stayed at a great resort called "The Legend". It is located on the river, great rooms, pool, lawned gardens, water features, and an excellent breakfast. Since I have my own car, we drove the three hours to and from. We went to see the Blue and the White Temple, Black House, Singha Park, the night bazaar, walking street market, and the royal family carriage house. We had great Mexican food at Samarosa (spelling???). I wanted to revisit the Hungry Wolf restaurant, but they close for the month of April every year, so that was a missed opportunity. We did go to Fish and Chips and had an OK meal. The portions were huge though. The next weekend getaway will be to Pai I think. We love the mountains versus the beaches.

Resort looks nice. I retire to Thailand later this year and would certainly consider Samui to stay for maybe 6-months. Just concerned it will be a little spenny for me now I’m retired.

The Issan restaurant is near where we live ... nope it doesn't get over the top busy ... you're an influencer ; ) We will try Hachoo (Hachiya) ; ) Flat White is an OZZy thing. It generally has a higher proportion of espresso to milk than a caffè latte. Was it cooler in Samui?
