chiang mai | soul mountain.

To S in Hong Kong.

Yes, the fish had been there for too long.  I agree with you absolutely.  This one is for you.

To tear myself away from the mountains in the Chiang Mai region was somewhat challenging.  As train no. 52 chugged its way down towards central Thailand and the view of the mountain shrinking like a camera zooming out, my heavy heart wants to drop its weight further down.  Being surrounded by hills and highlands nourishes my soul more than kicking up sand under blue skies and the vast blue sea.

I left a small part of me in Chiang Mai that I will one day soon return to claim.
