		<description><![CDATA[Chiang Mai&#8217;s night market has the standard labyrinth of tourist t-shirts and cheap designer knock offs. That is until we wandered into the basement and discovered portrait studios, a thriving den of charcoal artists. I was expecting your run-of-the-mill street side caricature artist. But quickly discovered they&#8217;re far from typical. Here most artists graduated from art [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Royal Elephant Kraal dates back to the 14th century. In those days, a great &#8220;Elephant Hunt&#8221; takes place every year and mahouts gather the best wild jungle elephants for work, transport and warfare. We strolled in and the first fellow who greeted us was, Angry Jumbo! Definitely a &#8220;warfare&#8221; type. By the early 20th century, the [...]]]></description>

Or if you&#8217;re the active type, play sepak takraw. For those feeling lucky, maybe spare some change to win furry little toys. But if you&#8217;re a kid &#8230; YOU WORK. Work??

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve thoroughly enjoyed Thailand&#8217;s night markets so far. Not only do I get to sample truly local dishes, I pay truly local prices! I was looking forward to what Sukhothai has to offer. Hmm, popcorn? Nope. Not convinced these are &#8220;special&#8221; Thai popcorn. Next! Hmmmmmm, donuts. Where&#8217;s the local food?! God dammit, I&#8217;m not going [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cycling is not only cheaper than songthaews or tuk-tuks, you get to see some sights you wouldn&#8217;t have any other way. In other words, you not only get an intimate peek into ordinary Thai life, but you get to do it 5 times faster than walking. Oh, and experience Thai traffic firsthand. Gotta love &#8216;em [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Unlike most flamboyantly named locations, this one has real tigers and monks. In 1999, the temple abbots claimed some villagers found an orphaned tiger cub and gave it to them. It died shortly after, but word of their wildlife compassion spread and soon more appeared on their doorstep. Over the years 21 cubs have been [...]]]></description>

As far as the Rat Pack is concerned, turns out I was the only &#8220;experienced&#8221; one. So I ordered apple, my favorite and always the classic for induction.

Upon arriving at the museum, I wasn&#8217;t be entirely convinced with the signs on the building (given the proliferation of piracy in Thailand). However, it&#8217;s not too shabby inside. Too bad cameras weren&#8217;t allowed, there&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

Looks like he&#8217;s trying to strike a conversation, say something. Hi there. Wait, I SWEAR I&#8217;m hearing something. Elephants trumpet don&#8217;t they? This sounds suspiciously like water, like sprinkling water. HOLY CRAP! RUN! But where??? Stay in [...]]]></description>
