Great Chiang Mai Passport Odyssey

With the strife in Bangkok, and the Embassy there closed, Nancy's only choice for replacing the passport (stolen from the boat along with credit cards and other stuff) was to go to Chiang Mai -- an ancient city (founded in the 1200s) in the north western interior of Thailand. Karele bravely joined her for the odyssey, and we have just heard that the expedition has been a successful, even pleasant, trip. Writes Nancy:

"Chiang Mai is a wonderful place - we wish we could stay because it is the best: so much prettier and 'more ancient' feeling than Phuket. Clean, and the people even more friendly, if you can imagine. Please let everyone know that I got my passport and immigration stamp with no problems today and we are leaving for USA tomorrow morning."

We are thrilled for this happy ending and await their arrival home! ~ Betsy
