together? Should she reconsider the offer of a bodyguard? But her cousin, who knew how stubborn Ladarat could be, did not press her case. Instead, she simply slid a piece of paper across the desk. It was Tea House stationery. Who had stationery made for a brothel? On it was the woman’s name, Wipaporn Chakrabonse, and a number: 9283. THE $30 RAMBUTAN The fruit seller wasn’t at his post. He’d left his cart unattended, which was strange. But presumably he knew that no one would take a mango

The day on which she turned eleven, Grandfather Bill had presented her with her very own orchid. "This is especially for you, Julia. Its name is 'Aerides odoratum,' which means 'children of the air.'" Julia studied the delicate ivory and pink petals of the flower sitting in its pot. They felt velvety beneath her touch. "Where does this one come from, Grandfather Bill?" she had asked. "From the Orient, in the jungles of Chiang Mai in northern Thailand." "Oh. What kind of music do you think it likes?" "It seems particularly partial to a touch of Mozart," chuckled her grandfather. "Or if it looks like it's wilting, perhaps you could try some Chopin!
Lucinda Riley (The Orchid House)
Pur non cascando nella trappola d'incolpare Dio, non fece mai quel passo che l'avrebbe portato ad amarlo.
Ted Chiang (Stories of Your Life and Others)
Chiang Mai, Thailand If Bangkok, is Thailand's economic and political heart, then Chiang Mai is certainly the cultural one. It is the home of a host of ancient Thai practices and given that it's a big backpacker hotspot, it's very easy for you to observe or even take part in them. Some experiences are more authentic than others but this is the sort of town you could hang around for weeks, spend very little yet learn a great deal about Thai cooking, Thai massage (the traditional version) and traditional Buddhist practices such as meditation. There are also lots of interesting ethnic groups and tribes in the area and for once Thailand might just leave you enlightened and uplifted as opposed to hungover and sunburnt.

One Week Get tussled about by Bangkok’s chaos, then cruise up to Sukhothai to tour the quiet old ruins. Continue north to Chiang Mai, an easygoing cultural city. Climb up the mountain range to Pai for mountain scenery and bluesy late-nighters.
China Williams (Southeast Asia on a Shoestring)
I flew north to Chiang Mai, near the Burmese border, and went for a walk round town and within thirty seconds a young man appeared in front of me. ‘You wanna fuck my sister?’ he asked. I said no. ‘You wanna fuck me?’ I said no, but

Dopo Chiang Mai andammo in scooter a Pai, una piccola cittadina sulle montagne thailandesi a circa tre ore di distanza. Quel luogo ci rapì il cuore: era isolato, con pochi turisti, tanto verde e un gigantesco Buddha bianco che troneggiava sulla città dominando il paesaggio.
Gianluca Gotto (Le coordinate della felicità)
It was a bright humid night in Chiang Mai. Sangris and I trotted toward the night bazaar, stepping over the basketfuls of fried red chili that the sellers had spread out on the streets like open bowls of flowers. Finding a canal on the fringes of the market, we fed enormous gold carp. They curled through the water like submerged flames beneath the heavy tropical-black sky. Acting innocent, I bought him orange juice and watched his face change when he realized that the sellers had filled it with salt. A trick to prevent dehydration, I explained, and ran off cackling before he could get revenge. I wanted to go into the orchid farms and the butterfly gardens, but they were closed, and I refused his offer to break in (of course Sangris had a way of assuming that rules didn't apply to him, but, I said, they applied to me), so we walked along a half-lit street instead, warm greenness and humming insects all around us, and spent hours trying to catch the guppies that swarmed in innumerable pots by the roadsides. I was better at it: I could lift my hands out of the green-tinted, plant-filled water slowly, without startling the fish, and show him the flashes of yellow and orange and violet and red guppies that flickered through the water cupped in my palms like a strange and magical treasure.
