We had breakfast at the hotel cafe. After breakfast we rested in the room while Ayami and Siti went out to explore the city of Chiang Mai as this is their first trip here.

Around 13:00hrs we went to the Muslim Restaurant for a nasi goreng lunch and bought pisang goreng from a stall by the mosque.

We drove to Pop Motorcycle Rental, a short distance from our hotel where we arranged to rent five motorbikes for our bikers gang who will be arriving by flight in late afternoon. After choosing and booking the bikes we went back to the hotel to rest while waiting for the rest to arrive.

At night the gang had dinner together and later visited the night market and had an hour of a therapeutic foot massage by the road side while watching live performance.
