Bangkok to Chiang Mai - by Train

October 13, 2024 - I am finally back (to stay?) in Chiang Mai It seems that I always end up back in Bangkok and Chiang Mai. No matter where I have been in between, these are the two places I feel the most like I am back home.

All restrictions had officially been canceled on that day, and as an American Passport holder, I was allowed to enter Thailand, without any Covid tests (I had proof of 3 Covid Vaccinations).  I was also allowed to enter the country (for 30 days) without applying for a Visa. There was some confusion at the border, because they were not expecting a bicycle to cross the bridge. Normally people from Laos cross over the bridge on a bus, but the bus would not take my bicycle, so I was told to just ride across the bridge. Thailand immigration was not aware of my arrival though, so it took some time and a fairly comical interrogation (they were concerned that I was smuggling my bicycle into the country, and might sell it without paying tax), before I was allowed to enter Thail...
