After beaching out with my parents for a couple of days on Koh Ngai, I figured they would be up for a little bit of culture and a completely different part of the country. So we packed up our bags, chartered a boat off the island and got on a plane heading north. We had our sights set on Chiang Mai and an elephant adventure, plus a visit to a handful of the city’s wats.
