Chiang Mai, Ladyboys and 12yo kickboxer girls

Got back to Chiang Mai and went to a kickboxing event. Not normally something i'd go see but the whole night was actually really cool.

It was kind of creepy seeing 12yo female kickboxers kick the crap out of each other.

But then afterwards we had the ladyboy show. Although i've seen better drag shows, i have to say that some of them were rather convinving (like the one i met in Bangkok ;) haha, don't worry nothing happened).

Afterwards the lads went out for a drink and i experienced a Thai nightclub for the first time. It was okay, pretty full but not smokey and the waiters come up to you and bring you drinks.

Next day we headed up to a temple at the top of Chiang Mai. It was one of the nicest i've seen in Thailand as the surrounding area was so clean.

A lot of posing took place and we all managed to get inside a big bell for a picture.

The best thing about this temple was i could see a lot of people praying and actually using the temple for what it was intended. I took the opportunity to see a monk and get a protection band, as well as pay my respects.

A lot of the temples feature this 7 headed snake called Naga, this was one of the biggest and most ornate i've seen.

Oh yeah, i also went to a cooking school. Not sure where that tied in with everything. Hmm, i actually can't remeber. But the cooking school was awesome. We learnt how to make two curries, and pad thai noodles.
