Chiang mai has great fabric markets, and tailors! So Katherine and I spent a day shopping for material then going to a dress maker who we were refered to by some travellers, who meet other travellers who used her every year.
I am getting a simple shift dress and top made out of a pale green striped cotton, and Katherine is getting silk bodices made...we see them tomorrow. I also bought this crazy green material with pink and gold floral pattern, which I will get made into a dress and a top.
Apparently the silk in laos is amazing, and good in vietnam to - so we should have good wardrobes by the time we return home!
We are now avid viewers of the fashion pages!
Not much else to say about chiang mai - it does not have much of a 'face' as a city. We have to spend a few more days there so I will do cooking school and find a mediation class....not much sight seeing to do.
