October 18, 2017by David Herd
Our Hotel was in a great location
Four Aussies Chiang Mai
Four Aussies Chiang Mai Adventure, our hotel the Dusit Princess is the white building on the left. Without a doubt this is the very best location in Chiang Mai.
A terrific hotel in the very best location in Chiang Mai, book through THIS LINKfor a discounted room rate.
Across the road from our hotel
Burger King & Hard Rock Cafe are there if you don’t want to eat Thai food. 🙂
Of course sometimes it rains.
When it rains in Thailand it really rains. 🙂
Opposite the Dusit Princess.
Only 50 meters up the road is the famous night market.
Entrance to the night market
Not just a night market but lot’s of bars & restaurants, many specializing in live seafood.
Forty winks
Relaxing at the night market.
LadyBoys everywhere. 🙂
It looks like Patrick has found some soul mates. 🙂
Of course if you want a massage
There are many available not as suspect as this one. 🙂
Three Aussies
Here are 3 of the 4 Aussies on this trip besides Patrick, Steven & Justin Bates & yours truly David Herd.
Patrick is around 200 cm tall. 🙂
He returned to his home in Singapore for his 51st birthday on October 8.
Another great location, for a terrific room rate just book through THIS LINK.
The Meridien has an excellent Italian restaurant.
So many food outlets
In fact I’m doing a separate blog on some of the great Chiang Mai restaurants we found, including David’s Kitchen & Whole Earth which were both excellent.

Thanks for visiting my Four Aussies Chiang Mai Adventure photo blog.
My history, particularly over the last 30 years is dominated by overseas travel. I sold my home in Australia October 20th 2011 and have have been living in Thailand since then. I don’t know where the time has gone? It seems like you go to sleep one night, wake up the next morning, and 20 years have flashed by. Not sure how many years I have left, however I have enjoyed a wonderful charmed life, and if it all ended today I would leave this world with no regrets.
I was born in Sydney halfway through the last century, started my travels in the 60s with the usual U.K. Europe adventure at the age of 20, back to Australia and worked in Sydney, Melbourne & Adelaide in Sales & Marketing with multinational companies including Sanyo, Canon & Remington.
Engaged to be married 3 times and never quite made it to the alter, finally realized by the mid 90s I was not cut out for "long term relationships" so I moved to the Gold Coast in Queensland in January 1987, worked for a couple of banks as a Financial Planner, I took a year off work in 1998 to travel and never went back to full time work again, after 25 fun filled years on the Coast I packed up and moved to Thailand.
What is the purpose of this blog? Well I really want to use it to record my travel experiences & to display my photographs, give and receive travel tips, comment on places I visit, restaurants I eat in and use it to replace the autobiography I intended to write, apart from all that it helps me fill in my day. :)
I moved to Thailand mainly because I wanted to keep travelling while my health allowed me to, there are huge advantages being closer to all the places I want to visit.
Cost of living in Thailand is around 35% of the cost in Australia, plus flights are 50% cheaper because you are much closer to everywhere. ????
Consequently I am able to travel to many more places compared to living in Australia.
Having said all that, it is & has always been my intention to return to Australia when my travelling is finished, I predict this will happen around 2021.
